History of Organization.
As heretofore stated in The Star, soon
after Dr. Hartsock ok charge of the
church as pastor, last spring, he deter
mined to make an effort to secure a new
church home, and the matter was thor
| oughly canvassed by him among the promi-
nent members Of the congregation, and IT
was finally decided to see how much money
could be raised from individual donations,
these subscriptions to be payable in one
year from the commencement of the con-
structon of the proposed building. One
Sunday not long since DR.. Hartsock called
for subscriptions and in little while he
had about $1,000 promised.
Subsequent efforts resulted in securing
about 81 900 more, and then a statement of
affairs laid before Mr.. John c. Yost.
who is very anxious to see a new Meth0-
dist churcn in the northeast section of :he
city. After thinking the matter over Mr.
Yost told DIR. Hartsock that he would fur
nish the money to build the church to the
height of one story and would trust to
getting the money advanced by him retur l.
ed when the subscriptions are paid year
hence. The expectation is that eventually
a building costing about $4,000 will be
erected, but for the present only a lecture
room and accommodations for the Sunday
schools will be arranged for.
Dimensions of Structure.
The building will be about sixty-five feet
front and about ninety feet deep. 1t Is
intended to complete the first story in a
most substantial manner. so that it can be
used by the congregation for years shoIld

jected plan DE not Forthcoming.

dates back to the early '70s, when Metho-

Must Guard Restored Union.

I'VE must guard this restored Union
with Jealous and sacred care, and while
awaiting the settlements of the war and
meeting the problems which will follow,
we must stand one man, not in the
spirit of party, and united in a common
effort for that which will give to the ma
ton it's widest influence in it's sphere of
activity and usefulness to which the war
has assigned 1t. Let nothing distract us;
let no discordant voice intrude to embar-
rass US in the solution of the mighty
problems which involve such vast conse-
quences to ourselves and posterity. Let
us remember that God bestows upon no
nation supreme opportunity which is not
ready to respond to the call of supreme
duty.

CREEDs.

[By.speclal request of Rev. R. L. Wa0goner.l
A minister Of an independent church,
In his first sermon after vacation, is re-
ported to have said:
Ibelieve that Christ is the son Of God.
The church Of Christ is a body Of men
and women who are loyal to his teach
'ings. *** To make q creed q test Of
membership Is as wrong as to make the
hymnboOk test. The test is to do some
thing. Christ never asked, "What do
you thinkp" he simply says, "Follow
Me-" Christ said, ''Belleve in the Lord
Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved"
He never asked anyone to believe in any
creed. He asks you to work. Enlist and
work. *** We do not say you cannot
come into this church except you believe
In the doctrines which even the the0lOg-
ians do not understand themselves. ~
The Church Of Christ ought to have q
testimony, but the testimony which 1t
gives ought not to be the test Of entry
into the church. *** We believe that
the spirit Of God rules the heart Of every
man and leads him In his trouble. We
believe In the church Of Christ as the
body in which the spirit Of God dwells.
We believe In a God who fOrgives our
sins, and we believe in this life and this
resurrection. It Is because Of this faith
that we are Joined together in this
Church. The only test we make is that
you believe In Christ.
As the preacher seemed inclined to
boast Of the superior freedom Of his
church, 1t may be well to consider what
he claims and the whole subject Of
creeds.
The foregoing statements do not ap-
pear to have been premeditated with the
care due to their Importance. For ex-
ample, take the statement, Christ
never asked, What do you thinkp He
simply says, Follow me-" Neverthe.

asked by Christ is, @What think yer

The editorial which prompted the des-
perate work Of the mob at Wilmington.
N. c., which was published in the col
ored peoples organ, was as follows:
We suggest that the whites guard
their women more closely, thus giving
no opportunity for the human fiend, be
he white or black. You leave your goods
out Of doors and then complain because
they are taken away.
Poor white men are careless in the
matter Of protecting their women, espec-
tally on farms; they are careless Of their
conduct toward them, and our expert
ence among the poor white people in
the country teaches us that the women
Of that race are not any more particular
In the clandestine meetings with the
colored men than are the white men
with colored women.
Meetings Of this kind 90 on for some
time until the woman's infatuatiOn, or
the mans bOldness, brings attention to
them and the man is lynched.

first fruit. Now that the war with
Spain is over, there will be time to de-
vote attention to the important question
Of eastern expansion Of the United
States and the place which the United
States may be expected to occupy among
the nations Of the world. On the sub
ject Of eastward expansion Mr.. Archi-
bald R. COlquhoun, whose book, "China in
Transformation" of heutmOSt interest
and value geographically, politically,
and commercially, had an article in
Harper's Magazine for October, in which
he pointed out that recent events have
made 1t clear that two great continental
powers Russia and France-are active

paign which is intended to shut the
door against the commerce OF the Anglo
Saxon powers; while Germany is tao

1t requires no elaborate argument to
demonstrate that injury to England
would be disastrous to the United
States, for the power Of the United
States to extend her trade in Asia, and
in a large measure, to expand as a ma
tion, depends much upon the Anglo-Sax-
on supremacy, and as the common aims
and aspirations Of the United States and
Britain, the bond Of race, Of religion,
and Of government, indicate for them q
common destiny, shall we not join Mr.
ColQuhoun In wishing that may leaders
arise who will guide both nations in the
path Of duty, Of honor, and Of prosperity,
and bring them to submit without mur-
mur to the sacrifices which will enable
the race to maintain the ascendency it
has so long held"r

No longer can the United States be
said merely to face Europe across the
Atlantic. From the Pacific slope she Is
now also in close communication with
the Asiatic world. and when a trans
isthmian canal is made, the bonds that
unite her with Asia will be drawn infin-
itely closer.
China and the Far East, facing as they
do the Pacific coast, lie practically at
the back door Of the United States, and
1t is obvious that whatever promotes
enterprise in China, or enhances the
wealth and prosperity Of the people,
must reach most forcibly on Its sea-
borne trade, Of which, by means Of the
new underground she Is about to en-
Joy, the United States stands to reap the

the elements Of simple evangelical
creed are therein contained, as the fol-
lowing verbatim quotation win show;
'The name Of God," "the day Of the
Lord" ''the glory Of God," 1.-THE name Of
the Lord Jesus" ''the knowledge and
love Of God," ''the ability which God
giveth," "the household OF faith" "the
Gospel" "the reproach Of Christ, "for
the Lords sake" ''tbe ordinances Of
God," ''the public worship Of God" "the
ministry Of the word" "the supper Of
the Lord" taught Of God," found in
His written word" "All these we know
His Spirit writes on truly awakened
hearts,"
It is obvious that those who say that
they have no creed, and they have no
test but that men believe In God the
Father Almighty, Maker Of heaven and
earth, and in Jesus Christ His Son, utter
self-contradictions. Their bOasting that
they have no creed is either cant or a
deceiVing pretense. That tremendous
creed is involved in these phrases, a
creed rather than accept which more
than half the population Of the globe to-
day would die, and the acceptance Of
which would bring with 1t a whole vol
ume of theology, is also evident.
1t will also, we trust, appear that no
creed which goes beyond ample and fun
damental truths OF which the scope can
be understood by persons Of averages in
telligence, should be made a test Of
membership in Christian Church.
But that the Church has right to pro-
tect itself, and to refuse admission to
those who seem to be most devOut and
spiritually minded, If they profess gOs-
pei which, in the judgment Of the
Church, neither Christ nor His apostles
ever knew, Is supported by the Scriptures,
sound reason, and BY the discipline. =
