Julian f. Trask, of New Hampshire,
who is In government employ in the
Philippine Islands, has recently
written letter to q friend at home,
which the Portsmouth Chronicle pub
lishes. Incidentally. he says; Il am
not so hopeful as 1 was two months age
that this war is to cease, although at
present the ladrones and robbers are
about all our boys come across In this
section Of Luzon. These fellows have
been fighting for hundred Yeas, and
they will not lie down quietly, and the
sooner the government stops fighting
on it's high ground of civilization--and
shoots the insurgents when found with
bolos-the better we will be off. Gen.
eral Funston seems to be doing good
work. and friend Of mine, who has
been with him away over near Baler,
tells me Of his method Of warfare, aud

Rev. Sam Jones, in carrying on
meeting in Baltimore, In the courfe OF
his sermon Tuesday at Brantly Baptist
church spoke as follows: ~ wish
Christianity could join hands for Christ
We're divided up and in bad shape !;
there's no mistake about that Chris
tianity lacks the force Of unity. There
are folks whose souls haven's lad q

tist. who thinks that unless a man has
been immersed he cAn't be saved. There
Is the little Methodist, who wants TO
have things his own way all the time
and won's mix up with other denomina-
sion. Then there sthes little Presoyte-
riau. who is continually saying. My
church is the only church, for 1t was pre-.
destined before the foundation Of the
world that only myself and wife and
my father.in.law and few others are
to be saved. (Laughter). The LORD
deliver me from little fellow. / see
that some Of the Presbyterians are now
sryine to let some others into salvation.
They have probably taken hint from
the antitrust laws daughter The
Presbyterians ara law abiding people and
when they find it is against the law TO
have a monopoly in salvation they are
beginning to let down the bars. Hills
