DenOminatiOnaIiSm a Curse.

At the Connecticut Valley Congrega.
tional Club meeting at South Deerfield,
Mass, on Tuesday, Sept. 25th, DIR.
Charles A. Briggs, of Union Seminary,
was the principal speaker. The gen
eral topic was church unity, and some
strong opinions against the A. P. A.
were brought out by President Steelye,
of Smith College. He dwelt upon the
hopeful attitude which the Catholic
| Church is now assuming. The ten
dancy which is shown by denomina-
tions of the Protestant Church to unite
| is also encouraging. Theological con-
servatories are not nearly so destruc-
| tive as formerly.
| DR.. Briggs spoke of the attitude of
the Catholic Church to the Protestant
Churches. The Pope, cardinals, bish-
ops, and archbishops have their hearts
on church unity and will make sacri-
fees to that end. The Pope will one
unity. Dr. Briggs added: Denomina-
| tionalism is terrible curse, and unless
| it is abolished Catholicism will con-
quer our country. Our denominations
| waste great amount of resources, both
of men and money. The Catholics
have in the United States 9,157 minis
tiers and 1921, Alt communicates, with
an average of 6S5 to one minister, and
s, 776 churches, with an average of 700
communicates to a building. The
Protestants have 99,636 ministers and
IA. OBS, 435 communicates, an average of
only 142, and 1873, 056 buildings, with an
average of 105 communicates to build
ing.
This is a terrible waste, and the
wonderful economy of the Catholic
Church will conquer in the end unless
there is unity.
DR.. Briggs declared the Protestants
could do their work better with $4,000
less ministers.

Marrying Worthless Men.

l ask not that a girl in love with a
young fellow shall weigh every point,
writes Edward w. Box in the October
Ladies' Home Journal. Women were
not created that way, and love is not
conducive to that sort of all-around,
open-eyed care and prudence. But one
thing do ask of her: If she marries a
worthless fellow who has no business
ability with her eyes open, she must
not complain afterward if she finds that
all the other graces of manhood are as
naught, in the long run, before that
one great incompetency in a man. An
incompetent business man is only a
shade better than morally deficient
man, but only a shade. | care not what
a young man earns when he asks a girl
to marry him-if it is only five dollars
a week-so long as he has sincere love
for his work and an honorable determi-
nation to succeed in it. The five dol
lars per week will soon grow into fifty
dollars.

A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is COMPOUNDED by many
persons with a severe attack of catarrh
which in some respects resembles the
former. These individuals suffer Sc
verely with pain about the forehead
eyes and ears, with soreness in throat
and stoppage of the nasal passages
and in fact, are incapacitated for work
of any kind for days at time. These
are catarrhal sufferers. Ely's Cream
Balm has been used with the best re
suits in such cases. The remedy will
give instant relief.

For the Staunton SPECTATOR.
THE TWIN CHERUB BABIES.

THE following lines were written for the
happy parents in Texas.
Twin cherub angels from the skies,
With baby hands, and baby eyes,
A heritage, precious prize,
With souls enduring ever,
Have come to you in hope and fear,
Have come to you, their parents dear,
Have come to spend awhile down here,
And then go back forever.
A blessing, and pleasant care,
Love-sent, the helpless infants are,
And Love takes I'D the tender-pair,
And thanks the Holy Giver,-
Although no human ken can tell,
If life for them be i'll, or well,
Or whether they in bliss shall dwell
Beyond the silent River.
The baby girl, the baby boy,
A double care, double joy,
That will the mother love employ
In labors without measure,
May minds possess of wondrous powers
To be evolved through patient hours,
To grow and open as the flowers,
And be a source of pleasure.
Such gifts from heaven to you, my friends
Whose value all the world transcends,
Accountability attends,
Which you can not surrender;
For mind and body you must train,
And guide their souls with guilty stain
To Christ, the Crucified and Slain,
The Savior, meek and tender.
The God of mercy and of love
Give wisdom to you from above
That you may train each cherub dove
For Him and future glory!
And may the infants grow apace,
And be blessing to their race,
And be both wise and rich in grace,
And in the Gospel story!
Along with precept, line on line,
Example should most brightly shine,
And prayer should, like woven vine,
Adorn the daily living;
Then, you should walk with jealous care,
Attended by the Graces fair,
And 1--we life of faith and prayer,
Forbearing and forgiving.

Preachers Should be More Reasonable.

Preachers Should be More Reasonable.
The Petersburg Lnde1 Appeal says ::
"The preachers ought to be more
reasonable in dealing with worldly af
fairs about which, if they follow faith
fully their own high calling, they can
have little accurate knowledge. Here
is Washington pastor who speaks of
the giant trusts that have democrat
lied the guardians of our liberty" and
says that ANY office from constable to
the presidency can be had for money"
This, with all respect to the gentle
mans calling, is rot. 1t JIG absurdly
false as to the everyday happenings of
politics. Further along this imaginer
of evil things says that among all
classes and IN all stations of life stand
men and women who hold as purchas-
able their honor, purity, the peace of
their homes, and their very souls,
ready to sell to whoever will buy
Doubtless all this is true, but have
there not at all times been such men
and women? The real question is
whether there are more of them now
than heretofore? Is the reverend
gentleman ready to say that these evils
have increased during the two and
three quarters centuries that this coun-
try has had Christian government?
And if the preachers talk in this wild
fashion. what shall we expect the I'M
godly to say? What will be the effect
upon the rising generation if its teach
ers condemn the time SO loosely"

CYCLONE, TORNADO, AND HURRI.
CANE.-A contributor to the Norfolk
Landmark describes the difference be-
tween cyclones, tornadoes, and hurri
canes as follows =
ga cyclone is a storm revolving on its
| centre, the latter being a dead calm. >
| 1t is usually not less than so miles in
diameter and not more than 500 miles
| The movement of this storm is measur-
ed by the movement of its centre. The
velocity of its cycle of wind is always
| much more rapid, and is from about
40 to 100 miles per hour. Its only form
of giving its own notice and it is often
''short notice" is an oppressive, sultry
air, with warm wind (even at sea- and
low-fying, light, fieecy clouds scurry-
ing rapidly across the sky.
A tornado is only like a cyclone in it's
having a rotary motion. In all else it
is different. It is usually not less than
30 yards in diameter and not more than
about 900 yards. Its movement is un-
dulatory. Invariably a dark, funnel
shaped cloud and a roaring noise pre-
cedc it and when it descends to the
surface of the earth, havoc is in it's path.
The waterspout is it's ''sea change"-its
prototype.
A hurricane is a totally different
storm from either of the above Its
wind blows in straight line and at
the rate of 100 miles and over in cases
per hour. In hurricane, so great is
| the power of the wind that the sea un.
der its influence is not what sailors call
trough" the velocity of the wind be-
| ing such that there is no chance for il
to heave its bosom into mighty ship
destroying. death-dealing pillows, but
the air is filled with flying foam, spray
and mist, rain drops and tossed sea
water broken into minute particles by
the force of the wind, which, in sailor
phrase, elbows the sea down." The
above is my understanding of John
ston. Maury and Raphael Semmes. Il
seems like shameful ignorance on the
part of the press of the whole country
to go on longer misapplying terms al
it does in this connection.
