CaIifornia Wine Crop.

The California vintage OF 1925 II
now practically over, and the quantity
aud quality of this seasons wine pro-
duct can be accurately estimated. As
whole. the crop of grapes was t
but the quality was the best in many
years. There was shortage in the
dry varieties but great abundance
of the sweet kinds. The output of
dry wines will be about 100000 gall
Ions, something like 70 per cent of last
years production. Of this amount
only 100000 gallons are of white
wine. Taking all circumstances into
consideration, it is predicted that
higher prices will be asked for Cali
fornia wines this season than last.

Reliqious Unity.

The subject of religious unity ID
still much discussed abroad. The
Bishop of Lincoln, in a pastoral letter
has declared that the Church of Eng
land cannot accept the terms of re-
union offered by Pope Leo XII. They
would involve absorption in and sub
mission to Rome, not reunion. DIR.
Parker, the famous Congregstionalist.
of the Holborn Viaduct Temple, Lon
don, has forwarded a letter to Pope
Leo XIII. on his recent "reunion's
encyclical, in which he says: sit may
be right that should add that the
Archbishop (Of Canterbury would
disallow. my orders as distinctly as
Your Holiness would skepticallv re-
gard the Archbishop's pretensions. "
All indications go to show that the
various religious bodies cannot recon-
cile their difference and that the
unity movement will be barren of
results.
