A curious revival OF q spirit common in
ante-beilum days and during the war,
took place recently ct the annual meeting
OF the Western PresbJtery In Chicago. The
question raised was regarding the union
Of the northern and southern Presbyterian
churches, and the Rev. DR.. Herrick john
son introduced Q resolution refusing to
recognize the establishment of Q separate
African Presbyterian church, or any ar
rapgement looking to that end, but pro-
fess,Dg willingness to let the present
boundaries and constituencies Of presby-
teries and synods In the south remain
in ststu quo, provided this snsll be the
unconstrained preference Of both parties,
aud provided 1t be no bar to 4nture ad-
justments, subject alwsys to the acts of
The General Assembly. ThereupOn DR..
Gray, the able editor Of the Interior, pro-
tested sgainst such an utterance as dIi-
graceful, saying: at means that we
shall 60 down there with arms and resus-
citate all the old issues of aioloody and
nearly forgotten war The Presbyteries
Of florida, Missouri, Kentucky and
Tennessee have already sisnifed q desire
to come over to the reunion, but not 8
man Of them would, In the face Of such
an Insult IS this" The Rev. DR.. With
row also energetically protested against
the introduction OF the color liue in
religion" 0.her speakers opposed sn
attempt to revive old issues ana impose
conditions on the southern bretherp, and
finally 1t was simply resolved that "This
Presbytery is heartily in favor Of reunion
with the southern church on the basis Of
our common standards, pure and
simple" This, after all Is said, was the
rational way Of disposing OF
much-vexed question. There
has been an open issue Sbetween
the northern and southern Presbyte' isns
for many years, and brethren in Christ
hsve allowed themselves to be divided by
q question very similar to the questions
OF social rights which have continually
arisen in the south since the war. It is
easy to argue that, as q matter OF 3D.
stract right, the negro should be
admitted to full fellowship and
placed on the sans footing as whites in
all matters, but 1t is obviously unjust for
one section to seek to impose conditions
upon another whose Social conditions,
ferent. A process of social readjustment
is going on st the south, and outside in
reference must be regarded as unfortu-
nate. There may bs much to deplore,
but the people of the south must settle
such questions for themselves. More
over, IL has been shown, first, that any
attempt to force the process OF amslga.
nation is certain to react unfavorably,
and, secondly, that many oti the colored
churches prefer their own Presbyteries,
and even decline to enter into others. Il
would be most unfortunate for clergy
men to revive race feeling which, IL left
to itself, will gradually become Ut less
and less account. TIE final action of the
Chicago Pfesbytery WIGS judicious.

OF the last few days emphasized the fact that
we need good gravel or macadamized roads.
