Torrington ys. Winsted.

With the annual issue of the Winsted- Torrington directory (this is for Winsted to read) or the Torrington-Winsted di- rectory (this is for Torrington) comes the annual quarrel between the two bor- oughs as to population, business inter ests, etc. This year Winsted claims 600 more inhabitants than Torrington. Last year Torrington claimed the larger mum Der. The two boroughs are so nearly matched that the editors of each watch the births and deaths in either town, and laugh with glee or howl with anguish as the returns show increase or decrease from their respective standpoints. It is none of our quarrel, but we would sug- gest that the editors of the Torrington Register and Winsted Citizen offer six months subscription free to the father of every new born child within the hm- its of their respective bsliwicks, as sort of stimulus to increasing the popula' tion.-Ansonia Sentinel.

CONCERNING TOO nANY oHUHoHEs.

Census Superintendent Porter's recent address at Ashbury Park concerning too many churches is one that cannot have too wide circulation for the good of the whole country. The large-hearted chief of the Census Bureau sums up the signifi- canoe of the statistics of churches, homes and education in this country, making pubic some of the census figures for the first time, and drawing therefrom practi- cal lessons which ought to be taken to heart by all patriotic and philanthropic citizens. We wish that his remarks up on the multiplicity of hair splitting sects could be read aloud on Sunday morning from every pulpit in the United States, and we hope they will be reprinted in every religious newspaper. Nothing is more discredltable to Christianity; noth- ing does more to give the lie to Chris tians protesting to be "brethren dwell ing together in unity" than the visible spectacle of bretheren dwelling together in disunity, and running half a dozen struggling little churches with poorly paid parsons in small town where one great active church with live man in the pulpit would do more good than all of them. We have hopes that MT Por- ter's timely discussion of this point will do some good, as the Christian Union is just now making an active fight in the same direction.
 It is also to be hoped that theological prejudices will not prevent the leaders of the religious public from recognizing the truth of MT Porter's statement of the way in which the 10000, 900 church members shown by the census returns can "bring in to the fold" the 43, GOO, 900 who are not church members. It is not to be done by theological controversy about the mode of baptism, or the his toric episcopate, or even the person of Christ; but if it is done at all, it will be done along the lines of MT Porter's sug- gestions-by studying what Christ was to man instead of what he was to God and by doing good to man in the spirit , of his good deeds. Helpful practical work for the relief of the suffering, the rescue of the fallen and the wise educa- tion of the children who are to be the sovereigns of the future will do much. But most important of all will be that justice to others in the ordinary business sphere of six days each week which is less obtrusive, and therefore even more Christian, than the trumpeted generosity of millionsires' foundations and endow- ments of charities The fact of all those mentioned by MT Porter which was most creditable to Christianity in the United States was that while the popu- lation was growing about 25 per cent during the ten years under discussion, the number of homes grew 28.22 per cent The fact showed that justice, paid in hard cash, to the plain, ordinary ev- cry day man who is healthy and works I for his living, is on the increase, and that is the multiplying the social unit, the home. winch is the good seed of great churches and great nations.- New York Press

The Bible and Science.

The Century Magazine will take up the Bible and Science controversy. In the November Century ProfessorC Charles W. Shields of Princeton answers the question "Does the Bible contain Scien. tific Errors?" with an emphatic no. He says: Literary and textual obscuri. ties there may be upon the surface oi Holy Writ, like spots upon the snn, ol rather like notes in the eye; but scien- tific error in its divine pnrport would be the sun itself extinguished at noon. Such Bible could not live in this epoch"

Collection of Nuts From Connecticut
 for the Worlds Fair.


 A circular of interest to the boys and girls of this state has been issued by Sec retary Gold of the Connecticut Board of Agriculture, calling upon them to gather nuts as samples for the Worlds Fair. The circular reads as follows:
 Our native hickory nuts and chestnuts vary much in size and quality. To secure the best call is made upon the boys and girls of the state to make collections of different choice varieties of all kinds of nuts and present them for exhibition at the winter meeting of the board in December. One gentleman offers $5 as a premium, which will be given to one ex- hibitor, or divided according to merit. Doubtless others will be pleased to in- crease this gift The quantity should be not less than two quarts of each variety They should be dried moderately. Now is the chance to hunt up your favorite hickory nuts, chestnuts, butternuts and hazelnuts and make comparisons. Due notice will be given of the time and place of the winter meeting, and how to send the collections.
