| N TIL e CHI u r CHE S

1t is reported in various quarters that at
the coming session of the general con-
ference of the NJ. E. Church at Chicago a
motion will be made asking that body to
appoint a commission to confer with a
similar commission to be appointed by the
general conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South, with view of bring
ing about union between these two great
branches of Methodism in America.
AS heretofore stated in The Star, re-
union of the members of the old Baltimore
conference, which now consists of the CEN
trail Pennsylvania conference and the Bal
timore conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church and of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South will be held during the first
week in April, when the annual confer
ences of the northern and southern
branches of the church will be in Wash
ington. The call for this reunion has
aroused much interest in the mooted Ques-
lions of union between the two main
bodies.
Concerning this a leading minister said:
1.-THE article in The Star of a few weeks
ago, in which it was stated that the sur
vivors of the old conference proposed to
have reunion of the members of the his
toric body, was exceedingly timely, and the
contamination of the same will be an occa-
sion of precious memories as the years of
the past are recalled, crowded as they
were with rare occasions of blessed COM
munion. But to my mind the meeting of
the Two annual conferences in the capital
city of the nation should be the occasion
not only for the reunion of the members of
what is called the old Baltimore confer
ence, but a reunion of the members of the
conferences as they are composed today
Why should We not have one day of
the sessions union love feast?-have it
at such an hour as will be most conyen-
ient2 Let the bishops share equally in the
conduct of the services, and nothing would
cement the bonds of union more.
1.-The business world is stirred with the
Importance of combination. Is it not time
that these two great branches of Method
ism should combine for more aggressive
warfare against evil? Whatever may have
divided US in the past nothing now should
prevent the union of these churches We
are one in faith and form; we should be
one in organism. There is no need of two
churches on the same territory exactly SIM
liar in their doctrine and form"
The new Metropolitan African NJ. E.
Church at Cumberland, which is under the
care of the Washington conference A. NJ
+. Church, was dedicated Sunday last with
appropriate exercises. The congregation
owning and worshiping there is the out
come of the old Bethel Church, organized
in 1887, when frame building was erected,
in which they held services for more than
fifty years.
The present edifice was started in 1886
by Rev. Joseph H. Robertson, Rev. NJ. w.

Hon. VIM. Smith, of Baker City,
candidate for congress in this dis
trict on the democratic ticket, was
here Saturday getting acquainted
with the voters. 1t was expected
that Mr.. Smith would speak here
during the campaign, but his visit
at that time was rather unexpected,
the local managers Of the campaign
not having had sufficient notice to
properly advertise his coming. Mr..
Smith is a pleasant gentleman, an
entertaining talker on political
questions and makes q good i'm

present represents the people of his
district in the state senate and was
the recognized leader Of the minori-
ty at the last session, where his
ability and integrity won the high
est esteem and respect of bis fellow
members without regard to politics.
His record as fighter of "grafts =

safe to say that if he is elected ia

and out of season, looking out for

now retire from school work, in
which he has been engaged for the
past three years, and take up the
more lucrative profession of law.
Mr.. Grass is at present an aspirant
for the Office Of county school sup

ion among the voters is that that

In q recent issue the Arlington
Record devotes considerable space
in an attempt to convince the vo-
ters Of Gillian county that they
should vote for, and elect, P. l..
liam, the republican nominee for
sheriff. The only reason advanced
by the Record for this position is
that W. L. Wilcox, the present in
cumbent Of the office and the dem
pcratic nominee, has held the
office l2 years. The Record admits
that Mr.. Wilcox is q '.good man !"
and does not attempt to deny but
that he has given universal satis-
faction as an official and has always
been faithful and true in the dis
charge Of his duties. 1t would apt
pear to us that the Record has
made o mistake In calling atten-
tion TO Mr.. Wilcox's continued ser
vice in the sheriff's Office it but
emphasizes the high esteem in
which he is held by the people,
No question has ever been raised as
to the neat and orderly manner in
which the business of the Office is
conducted, while in his dealings
with the people Mr.. Wilcox has
ever been found courteous and
obliging. The Record will find
that an appeal to blind partisan
ship viii have but little weight
with the intelligent voters of Gilli-
am county. They have been too
long accustomed 70 marking their
own ballots to respond to party ap-
peals in this year of grace, or to
relish being named for any individ-
ual simply because they exercise
their right to vote for the man
rather than the party in county
