truth. Otherwise there is no reason for
the existence of such a sect. Now, since
the great truths of religion relae to God
and to world which we cannot visit no.
see in this life, it seems plain to me that
distinct certainty in such matters must,
from the nature of things, come from
God. Is not that holding to the principle
of infallibility?
Suppose ! were to ask minister of
certain sect: is there certainty in your
religion, absolute certainty"
YES" he answers, at once.
"Then," | returned, "your religion Is
infallble."
ooh! no" he quickly adds, 1--WE do not
claim infaliblity, God does not require
that"
Then you are not absolutely certain
Irejoin. We'll if you put the matter so,
he is forced to answer, "No; we are not
absolutely certain. No imam is infallible"
Then | would ask finally, 'if you are
not absolutely certain, on what grounds,
or by what auth ority, do you stand be-
fore a congregation and declare-'this is
the road, and the only road to salvation
If there are other sure roads, then your
religion is unnecessary. If there is no
sure road, than no religion is necessary"
Yet the decree stands: "He that be-
lieves shall be saved, but he that believes
not shall be condemned. st. Mark.
CONCLUSION.
Think have written enough to show
that the only way to have union is to
close the breach.
In conclusion, have endeavored to be
clear, just and courteous, in thus devel-
oping the only plan for union Of Chris
tians that rests on the known will Of
God. That union once existed. 1t surely
was not destroyed by God nor was it de-
stroyed by those who still continue it
among themselves. If we would have
union complete again, reason says, de-
stroy the cause of disunion. A breach
has been made in the wall once enclosing
the whole Christian fold Call back the
sheep that have gone to browse in strange
pastures and repair the wall. Only one
stone fits he breach, the one cast down
its name, infallibility. THAT is the stone
which was rejected by you, the builders
tof the sectsl which is now become the
head of the corner. By the Lord this has
eyes" Mat. XXI, xiii, Acts ", xi. If this
solution seems humiliating to some, let
them remember he story of the robe, the
ring, and the fatted calf. These were
given to the son, who honestly and brave
~ followed conscience. disCardlng vanity.
The end was not Illuminating. Here there
is question of salvation. Our church
offers certainty; others offer doubt.
Choose. The right step cannot lead to
humiliation.
At all events an infallible authority
alone can make us one again as of old.
We must feel as did the Christians of the
buried ages. This church cannot de
ceive us. The finger of God is here.
Behold the backbone of our Christian
body, of our Christian church. The body
is, even nov, agIow with life, and there
is ever harmony of purpose and action.
Its thirst is zeal and its lips are fed from
"the fountain OF living waters. We are

A Useful Book.
SOUTHWEST HARBoR, Aug. 81, '94.
Tho EJifoy of fba A m oriouo.


To the Editor of the american:
A few of the guests of the Hotel Dirigo,
Southwest Harbor, have presented the
house with a copy of the "Flora of Mount
Desert Island" by Messrs. Edward L..
RAND and John II. Redfield.
The book, which is very attractive ex-
ternally, is not merely a catalogue of the
plants of the Island, but contains an
interesting and valuable introductory
chapter by the editors upon their dis
tinctive character and singular di5tribu-
ton, as well as another upon the geology
of Mount Desert by Professor William NJ.
Davis, of Harvard university.
In addition, and contained in a neat
pocket of the back cover, is an excellent
map, based upon the work of the Coast
Survey, but retaining as far as possible
the original names of localities. The
map is especially designed to aid the
botanical student and flower hunter in
the use of the flora.
Reading for instance that sedum rho
diold, rose root, is found on Dog Noun
tain, the inquirer looks at his map,
identifies the mountain in question and
starts on his delightful search.
1t will undou btedly, however, be found
useful by many who do not care for the
fora, and is sold separately, either in
covers or wit hout.
Thus it will be seen that the fora con-
sidered as reference book for the tran
silent traveller or as companion in the
daily walks of the summer resident, will
be Invaluable, as in connection with its
map it will furnish the only authentic
guide to roadsides and sea beaches, rug
ged mountains and remote forests.

Three-Ounce Hail-stOnes.

A shower of hail-stones averaging over
an ounce in weight was reported from
Mechanics Falls last Wednesday. One
stone was found that weighed three
ounces and several measured six inches in
circumference. The ground was covered
with the enormous hail-stones.
The storm did much damage to crops
and windows. Two memorial windows
in the Baptist church and many OF the
stained windows in the Universalist
church were broken, involving considera-
BILE loss. The stones fell with such force
as to penetrate squashes and pumpkins,
and apples were cut in pieces.

NEWFOUNDLAND'S PERIL.
Election Of Whiteway Government Will Imperil
Its Financial Standing.

st. Johns, n. F., Nov 13-In the cleo
tions, Saturday, for members of the legis-
iative Assembly to take the places of those
unseated for bribery and corruption, the
constituency of St. Johns west, was carried
by three Whitewayite candidates by
average maiorities of ia against average
majorities of 479 last year The White
wayites carried two seats in st. Johns
east by average majorities of S97, against
average majorities of 1926 last year. They
also won two seats in Burin by majority
tuencies have not been heard from-Pla-
centia, electing three men, and St.
Georges, electing one.
The success of the Whiteway party in
the elections will according to the govern
ment party, have most damaging effect
upon Newfoundland standing abroad
and will probably result disastrously to
the colony's finances. Messages from
London announce heavy drop in New
foundland securities. 1t is reported here
that leading London bankers have an
nounced their determination to refuse
loans to Newfoundland if the Whiteway
ties are returned to power.
Mr.. Reid, railway contractor enga-
ged in building a railway through the
island, stopped work, this morning, and
discharged 1900 men for the winter. The
general belief is that his resumption OF
operations is contingent upon the forma
ton of government able to command
the confidence of financial circles abroad
