pine. How do you expect them to
unite for any such object? Does any
n suppose it possible to make them
harmonic? IL not there can be no
union OF church and state" That the
danger is real is proven by the fact that
just such a "~leagne" has. been formed
for the express purpose of uniting relig-
ion With the state, in the so called Am
erican Sabbath Union and the combined
efforts of the churches to secure from
congress the act to close the worlds fair
on Sunday. The historical fact was al.
SO presented that the Office of govern
ment chaplain originated with Con-
stantine, who was also the author OF the
union of church and state. To the con-
tinuatlon of the subject in the evening
several points were introduced, promi-
nent among which was the question of
the exemption of church property from
taxation. AS showing the position of
the denomination on this point the fol-
lowing preamble and resolution, adopted
at their last general conference was read
as follows: "Whereas, In view of the
separation which we believe should exist
between the church and the state, it is
inconsistent for the church to receive
from the state pecuniary gifts, favors or
exemptions, therefore, Resolved, That
we repudiate the doctrine that church
or other ecclesiastical property should be
exempt from taxation, and further. Re-
solved, That we decidedly protest
against any such exemption, and favor
the repeal of such legislation as
grants this exemption" Passages from
a paper read before the New York Bap-
fist minister's conference by the pastor
of the Tabernacle Baptist church, Brook
Ign, were given in which Mr.. Gladstone
is quoted as declaring the "sound gen
eral principle that all property ought to
contribute to the taxes of the country"
and in which the author says, in reply
to the objection that TO tax church prop
erty is to tax religion, and, what, by the
way, il it were a tax on religion? The
religion that would not rather pay an
imposed taxthan go begging or demand
ing aid of the world, the flesh and the dew
il to pay it, ought to be booted out the
world" Many other interesting things
were said during the day which lack of
space forbids mentioning.

Character In the Bell Ring.

Doorbclls are pretty good indicators OF
character. Probably you have not been
conscious of it, but every time you pull
a doorbell you register what manner of
man you are. Your ring will not tell
everything about you, from the color of
your eyes to your taste in flowers, but
to those who know the signs the doorbell
is as good as g title page.
Any one who has had occasion to an
swer bell pulls knows how much differ
ence there is in them. One PERSONS
method varies very little from time to
time, though the difference between that
method and somebody else, while slight,
will be sufficiently well marked. 1t is
seldom that two rings are exactly alike.
The housewife recognizes each-the
impatient man, who pulls the bell twice
in quick succession and does not wait
long before trying it again; the one of
more phlegmatic temperament, whose
ring is slower and more substantial; the
hesitating woman, who draws the knob
out in q succession of nervous jerks; the
seedy individual with matches to sell,
who stretches the wire carefully to its
full length and then allows it to relax
with faint, apologetic tinkle, and the
jolly friend who knows he is welcome
and therefore grasps the knob with
hearty swing that is fairly eloquent with
good nature and sets the bell to shaking
its sides with such peals of echoing
laughter that it positively cannot stop
at once, but subsidies gradually with
merry, irrepressible little litter. A door
bell has as many voices as VISITORS
