ST. LOUIS, Mo

ELSEWHERE we give the report of
the Convention in Minnesota, June
1918. We place on our second
page the address of Rev. L. D. Boyn-
ton on "Church Unity from Univer-
salist Standpoint" The companion
addr, sses, "Church Unity from the
Orthodox Standpoint" and "From the
Unitarian Standpoint" are herewith
presented in necessarily greatly con-
densed outline-only the mere alb
stract given.
Rev. Mr.. Pringle, of the Congrega-
tional church, spoke as follows:
FROM THE ORTHODOX STANDPOINT.
All sects desire church unity. But
while all are so anxious for it, they
have made the conditions for it so
exacting that others cannot unite
with them. The essentials for which
all churches contend can be summed
up under three heads. l. Life; 2.
Doctrine; 3. PolitY. Each is es-
sential to the other two. Further.
more. many denominations could
agree on one or the other of these
points, though not on all. The Bap-

TWO MORE ADDRESSES.
DIR. NASH ON EDUCATION.

PRESIDENT NASH. of Lombard Univer-
sity, in his inspiring address on "Edu-
cation" dwelt on the indifference of
the liberal churches to their educational
institutions. He charged that in their
excessive liberality they often sent their
children to schools fostered by denomi-
nations quite different in spirit to their
own, and where all the environing in. +.
fuences we're antagonistic to the faith
they pretended to cherish. Then they
wondered that their children had none
of their own interest in the Universalist
Church, and drifted into the orthodox
fold. If the people of the liberal
churches wanted their children con-
verted to orthodoxy or rendered indiffer-
ent religiously, it was an admirable
plan that rarely failed in one or the
other result. to send them to an institu-
tion confessedly opposed in all its ipfu-
ences to the faith in which they had
been nurtured. He was no pleader for
narrow sectarian spirit, he hoped, but
he did acknowledge that his church and
her idea were SO dear to his heart that
he lopged to have his children brought
up and educated within the reach of
their influence, and not placed where
they would learn to hold them lightly.
DR.. Nash then called attention to the
fact that Lombard University was the
only institution under confessedly liberal
auspices west of Ohio. 1t was admir-
ably situated, finely equipped. 1t be
longed to the people of the Universalist
church of the West; it was their OVID,
theirs to foster and support and take
pride in. He pleaded that the Univer-
salists of the West should join with him,
and the officers and faculty of Lombard
in making it an institution worthy of
the church and faith under whose flag it
had been launched and sailed.
DIR. SHINN ON MISSION WORK.
REV. @. H. SHINN, ID. D.. speaking on
the general missionary work of the Uni
versalist church declared that the Uni
versalist church needed to awake to its
opportunity. Everywhere. and particu.
larly in the South, which seemed to be
the chosen field for scattering the seed
of our faith. the people were ready to re-
ceive it. The General Convention had
determined and was seeking to forward

THIS is the season when there is the
usual remonstrance in many quarters
about the drain of American gold to
Europe by American tourists. Sat
urday of last week 5000 tourists
sailed for Europe, who will probably
leave at least $4,000 in gold behind
them as result of their travels. Oc-
casionally some of these tourists buy
a 100000 yacht or picture, thereby
greatly increasing the expenditure
per capita of the increasing numbers
of American visitors to European
countries. The amount of money
thus annually spent by Americans in
Europe is counted by millions and
the sum total of this annual drain
makes no small factor in Europe's
prosperity and Americas Tightening
times.
Yet we are far from wishing to dis
courage the greater part of this Eu-
ropean travel. OF course there are
hundreds of wealthy Americans who
spend few months of time and
thousands of dollars every year in
Europe, and this class should, per-
haps, be discouraged by everything
short of actual prohibition.
But the bulk of this money, we are
inclined to believe, is well spent.
Travel is in itself an education, or at
least most important part of thor
ough education. Many of these tour
SITS are persons of moderate means,
some of whom are able to give
themselves the pleasure and profit of
European travel only as the result of
Careful economy. 1t is to this class
that travel is most profitable and the
increasing numbers of such that
America annually sends to the old
world is matter for just national
pride, and the result of their travel
will undoubtedly be of great benefit
to their own country. AS we'll might
we complain of the vast sums of
money we annually spend in public
and private education in our schools
as to complain of this excellent in
vestment merely from an educational
noint of view. II is true that we have
in the United States grander scenery
than any Europe can show, and many
of these pilgrims to old world shrines
are not familiar by personal know
ledge with the historic localities of
their own country. But America is
the youngest of the nations and he
who cannot realize the charm and
force of association as the inspiring
motive of the greater part of these
tourists now scattered over Europe
from the land of the midnight sun to
Cape Matapan, simply is unable to
understand the greatest of the i'm
pelling causes to European travel.
AS yet America is without ruins,
and is lacking in historical associa-
tions as compared with European
countries where at every step the
tourist is brought face to face, as it
were, with a past upon which in his

but it had not been supported by the
churches and without their help its
hands were tied. DIR. Shinn described
the different methods by which money
could be raised for this work of the Gen.
eral Convention. He particularly advo-
Gated the virtues of the Cent-a-Day
plan. and giving instances of his own
success in starting new churches and
making converts. He declared that if the
people would rally to the clarion call
of the Trustees of the Convention, there
was no reason why they should not
average building new church week.

the victory was not with opponents
of DR.. Briggs either.

OF Dr. Briggs either.
What did these phenomena mean?
Let us be frank. Was it true that
we had here only a transient phe-
nomenon, something illusory? That
view seemed to him superficial. This
appeared to him to mean a change of
position of which it was only the be-
ginning. Consider what had made
it possible for those who took such
belligerent attitude in the Briggs con-
troversy to suddenly drop their
weapons? 1t was, as he read these
signs, because the fundamental pro-
positions of Christianity were gaining
their lightful pre-eminence in the
Presbyterian church and elsewhere.
It was because people felt that
these two doctrines-the Fatherhood
of God, the brotherhood of man, were
vastly more important than any
others. Let man sit down and talk
with his Catholic brother and ask
him about civic, economic, or moral
questions, and he will say, eyes, l
believe that" 1t was only when cer-
tain doctrinal questions were brought
up that differences were found.
Sacramento questions were no
longer the order of the day. What
is your church for?-that was the
question now. More and more it was
being felt that the principle of love
regnant in every heart would solve
every problem.
Phillips Brooks used to have a
way of rising and asking, in conven-
tion or elsewhere, when some ritual
istic proposition had been made, or
some minister was proposing to come
over to the Episcopalians, "What
for?" That what for" has punctured
a hole in many pretentious scheme.
1t was pertinent question.
Many of them were wondering what
denominationalism was for. The en-
emies of church unity were certainly
those who were willing it should
come,-willing the Kingdom of God
should come, but were determined it
should come under the auspices of
the denomination to which they be-
longed.
Those who made much of denom-
inational differences seemed 20 Kim
like people who built up all around
them great high walls to separ-
ate them from all else, forgetting
that the same common earth held
all, and over all arched the same
heavens, and that the only thing that
forbid their seeing it was these very
walls they have reared so carefully.
The brotherhood of man-that was
the great fact that transcribed all
denominational differences, which
sometimes seemed so great.
Church unity on this basis would
lead to cooperation. There would
be room for freedom of thought and
taste. Reverence toward God and
man only was demanded.

Read This, Boys.

-, The following extract from tract ad-
addressed to young men and all Is,
worthy the attention of all young
men, particularly to the very young
who are so anxious to appear like men.
1.-THE boy who spends his money for
beer, wine, whiskey, or tobacco, sad-
dies upon himself an appetite which
can never be fully grati6ed without
most seriously endangering his life,
and is quite sure, if he lives until he is
fifty or sixty years of age, to spend
the sum of which would give him q
comfortable home. Many house

sons until his property has hat to be
sold to pay his debts-a sad day for him
and his family. Boys and young
men, do you want to follow in the
footsteps of such9 If you do not, keep
away from saloons and let intoHcat-
ing drinks and tobacco alone.

caps himself for life. and poverty: and
sorrow very frequently result. It is
very easy to get into the habit OF u.s.
ing such poisons, but it is very diff
cult to get out, for they enslave mind
and body, and not few have been
driven to despair by the last of suffer-
iHg which follows an attempt to re
gain freedom. Boys and young men,
strive towards noble manhood; do
not become slaves; let intoxicating
drinks and tobacco alone. Such poi
sons are not necessary, they will do
you no good. You will enjoy much
better health, and, as rule, will live
much longer without than with them,
as has been abundantly demonstrated
by statistics"

Fire Kills Two Little Girls.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Feb. 21-A
special to the Advertiser from Gads-
den, Ala, says: Little Katie Green,
whose parents live in st. Clair County,
was playing with her doll before the
CRATE, when her clothing caught on
fire. Her mother and aunt extinguish-
ed the flames and the child's wounds
were pronounced very slight. She
played around the rest of the day, but
about midnight she was seized with
spasms and in an hour was a corpse.
In Etowah County little Amy Darn
nell was so badly burned as to leave
no hopes of her recovery. Her clothes
were burned from her body and the
flesh peeled off in slices.

Fatal Practical Joke.

MARION, O., Feb. 24.-As Orlan de
Weese was escorting young woman
home from church last night, Virgil
Eberly and two friends stepped from
behind a tree. Drawing a revolver,
Eberly cried: Hold Ip your hands.
De Weese then shot Eberly through
the lungs, and he will die. Eberly
and his friends were simply trying to
frighten De Weese.

tees substitute bill to regulate and con-
troll county sinking funds created for
the purpose of placing the finances of
the counties of this State upon cash
basis, was called up, Mr.. L. J. Will
liams moved to strike out the enacting
words of the bill.
Mr.. Connor then spoke in favor of
the bill. He was satisfied that this
was the most economical way his
county could get on cash basis.
Every safeguard was thrown around
the matter by the bill: no power was
given to the county commissioners to
make the levy.
Mr.. Williams finally withdrew his
motion.
The bill was then slightly amended
and ordered to a third reading in this
shape:
Section 1. Whenever provision is
made by law for the levy and collec-
ton of an annual tax to create sink
ing fund for the purpose of placing
the finances of any county of this State
upon a cash basis the sum or sums so
raised shall be. kept by the county
treasurer upon a special account, sep
arate and distinct from other county
funds, and shall be protected by the
official bond of the county treasuser
as other county funds, and shall be
known or designated as the county
sinking fund"
"Sec. 2. After the creation of said
| fund it NAV be lawful for the county
board of commissioners in any year to
borrow in advance of the collection of
taxes for that year from said fund and
to apply to ordinary county expenses
an amount which shall not exceed
such sum as can be repaid to said
sinking fund on or before the LIST day

The senate sent q message stating
that it had concurred in the resolution
in regard to adjourning on Saturday

The joint resolution to authorize the
superintendent of the penitentiary to

ton and to mortgage the same.
The Saluda county bill, the very last
on the calendar, was taken up owing
to the necessity for its passage, and
ordered to third reading without any
debate.
SALARIES OF COUNTY OFFICIALS.
The house then took up Mr.. Shu-
mans bill ito fix the compensation to
be received for their services by the
sheriffs, clerks of courts of common
pleas and general sessions, registers OF
mesne conveyances, county supervis-
ors, school commissioners, coroners,
auditors and treasurers of the several
counties in the State, and to make the
same uniform in proportion to popu-
lation of the several counties and nec-

committee consisting of one from each
county.
