The clergymen OF Ellsworth have begun
a novel "parliament of religions" this
week. Once each fortnight a union
meeting is held, at each of which one of
city pastors explains what his denomlna-
tion believes. These confessions of
faith are positive, not negative, and THE
AMERICAN says the spirit of speakers and
audience will be sympathetic, not con-
troversial. At the close of each talk
opportunity for questions is given. These
ser vices should tend to bring nearer to-
gether people of one faith, but with
different ways Of expressing it.-Lerts-
