would be serious hindrance to any
organic union. We become attached
TO our forms OF government. aud think
our own ecclesiastical policy is the best
and most scriptural.
Anent thissuhject let me quote re-
mark by the late DIR. Humphrey, Of
Lane Seminary: Systems OF church
pollty. az such, were left by the apos-
tolic church, TO be worked out after
ward. No present system of church
polity, of chuI ch government. can claim
10 be yure Divino."
Christian doctrines do not develop
or change, but forms OF government
may. In the state the divine right Of
kings 10 an exploded theory, and so
with regard to any system OF ecclesi-
asticsl government, whether prelacy,
Presbyttrianism or independency.
On this point there would probably be
no more difference OF view, or hold
ing to separate views with more tens-
city on the part Of the clergy than
with the church authorities.
Concerning church unity there are
hopeful signs. The subject is being
sgitated by ministers and poople. Its
desirableness Is being discussed every
where. Organic union is in The air.
Denominational loyalty is less ardent
than In former years. In fact cur peo-
pie are mixed up good deal already
in the different churches. We may
hope for marvellous developments in
this direction before the close Of the
present century.
The precursor OF organic oneness is
Christian union. This must preceds
any permanent church unity. and GER
tainly this Is growing. In the Evan
gelicsl churches there must be the es-
tsblishment Of mutual confidence, ere
any plans for organic oneness will be
practicable and such confidence We
confidently believe is increasing every
year.

The Pearsall News gives the follow
ing pointer to the San Antonio gentle
men who are working up the Fair asso-
citation. There is good sense in what
the News says, and it's advice is timely:
1--WE are glad to chronicle the fact
that San Antonians have partly decided
to organize the Southwest Texas Fair
association. At meeting Of the board
Of trade 1t was resolved to place the
capital stock at 100000. and to have
$4,000 subscribed Immediately; $4,000
Of this sum was pledged during a trip to
look after location for the grounds.
There the matter has rested so far as
we know. Now the vital point to the
success Of this enterprise is to get ready
in time and let the people know, through
extensive advertising. that an exhibit
ton will take place In the fall. The
people-the masses-are the ones who
make a success Of such undertakings,
but they can do nothing until they
know 1t Is FIXTURE"
