GLEANINGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS

The evidences of fraternal spirit between
never so manifest as they are at this time.
Churches are more and more making less OF
their differences and giving prominence to
the great essentials of religion on which all
agree. A generation ago it was the style to
make much of the points of disagreement.
| Of late years churches and ministers are
more disposed to look at the points of agree
ment, and the spirit of the age favors union
of Protestant Christians. Confessedly, di-
vision has thus far been the weakness of
| Protestant denominations.
The drift is now toward union, and more
wonderful things have transpired than the
union OF all Protestant denominations in the
| next % years.
There is little doubt that in that time the
| Presbyterian family will be together. There
is no good reason why Methodists may not
be one in the same period. How the multi
tude of sects will come together no man can
| tell, any more than a generation ago we
I could tell how our nation could be preserved
and slavery blotted out
UNION REVIVAL MEETINGS.
| As an evidence Of the DRIFT toward Chris
Il
from one of the leading ministers OF the
| city: 1.-THE ministers of Mt. Pleasant are
| spending their summer vacation in a novel
| way. For over two weeks union revival
services have been held each evening. Rev.
| W. S. Wood is the leader in the movement,
but all of the ministers have given him
their hearty support. During the day the
ministers visit from house to house, and then
in the evening union services are held In
one of the churches. Never before IN the
history of Mt Pleasant has there been such
a perfect union of Christian people in re-
ligious movement as there is at present. The
ministers of the Baptist, Presbyterian,
United Presbyterian, United Brethren,
German Reformed and Methodist have all
| given their time and labors to this blessed
work. Much good has been done, and much
| more will be done. The meetings this week
| have been very large. Such work in the
hot summer months should cause rejoicing
among Gods people"
RELIGIOUS INTEREST AWAKENED.
| The following clipping is from the Mt.
| Pleasant Journal:
Probably never before in Mt. Peasants
history has deeper interest in religious
affairs been manifested than is now being in
cited through the revival work OF Rev. Mr..
| Wood, of this place. The meetings began two
| weeks ago and have continued nightly since.
| the attendance increasing until last Sabbath
| evening the big Presbyterian church and its
| lecture room together were scarcely able to
hold the vast congregation. 1t was then de-
cided to continue the work, in which all the
| pastors of the town will share.
| [Mr Wood is really wonderful man in
the pulpit. He is of commanding appear

CARDINAL, NEWMAN.
One of the oreat relipious liohts of this
| century. Cardinal Newman, entered into
rest few days ago. Cardinal Newman was
EVERYWHERE acknowledged to be at the front
for we'll ON to a half a century. AS a de-
fendar of tbe Catholic faith he was easily
| foremost man of his time. His renly to
| Charles Kingsley in response To charges
| AGAINST Romanism was one of the keenest
| Specimens of LOGIC in English literature.
| Rut Cardinal Newman will he LONGEST re-
membsred for his HYMN which has become
classic and is now fonnd in ali collections of
hHnon. hotb Protestant and Catholic
Here is the hymn:
