Rev. " A. Simmons. pastor. OF
the Baptist Church, preached to a
large audience last Sunday morning
The central idea of his discourse was,
'.Unity, the Family of God" The
speaker thought all protesting christ
lans ought to be more united-OUghU
to stand closer together as children
Of their Heavenly Father. Christ
iaHs, % continued the speaker, bearing
the name of Baptists, Presbyterians,
MethOdists or any other protestant
name, are too prone to magnify their
differences rather than than the things
they agree on" He thought they
should keep in the background their
denOminati0nal differences, and come
closer together on the few great fun
dament8l doctrines Of religion. He
said IN substance, that we are all aim
ing to go to the same Heavenly home
We ought not to be harsh in our judg-
ment Of those who are travelling some
different road than the one we are
going in. To illustrate this he quoted
the Quaker who had been a sea cap
tain: Once six ocean steamers start
ed out of New York. Their destina-
ton was Liverpool While they all
began the voyage at the same time,
they had been out to sea but a few
hours till by the dashing of the waves,
the blowing Of the winds, and their
/ somewhat diverging routes, they lost
sight of each other and they all
/ reached Liverpool at different times.
but those who landed first waited on
/ the shore to cheer and welcome the
