One of the most notable oc'
currences of the past week in the
religious world, says the Gaines
willie Sun, was the meeting at
Baltimore of the joint commis
non Of the two great branches
Of the Methodist Episcopal
church in this country, North
and South. The commission is
made up Of all representative
men who represent the vide
spread desire Of the two branch
es to get together, believing
that it will result in increased
efficiency in the church work
Very wisely, the first efforts OF
unifcation will be in the foreign
ield, and among other work
contemplated is the establish
neut Of d book house ia China,
lad Of theological and female
cminaries in foreign countries.
IF you can get people to work
lax together for a common end
you have taken the first great
step towards uniting them en-
tirely. Many persons outside
of the Methodist church will re-
jcice to see this great organiSa.
ton moving toward the realiSa'
ton Of its greatest possible
and fullest efficiency.

The Coronation Embassy.

Will this republic send Il special en-
| bassy to take part in the mlmmcries
of King Edwards coronation? asks
the Chicago American.
Mr.. Whitcaw Reid has already re-
ceivcd his appointment as Special Am
Mssador, ana no doubt his knee
brcccllcs silkcn hose, braided coat.
cooked hat, toy sword, golden shoe
buckles and the rest of his masquerade
costume have been ordered. But, after
all, will he be allowed to go, and while
making Il fool of himself, bring tho
United States into dcrision before the
| twentieth century world?
| Congress has not been asked for an
appropriation to dcfray the expenses of
the projected kowtowing expedition,
and it is evident that the administra.
ton, now that the American press has
| been heard from, will hardly dare to
ask for one.
The alternative is to draw the money
from the "sccrct fund.- of the State
Department.
There are signs that this cannot M
done without cvoking vehement pro.
tests from many members of congress
who hold the American view that our
government has no moral right to use
the money Of American taxpayers for
purpose so undcmocratic, silly and
offensive.
President Roosevelt will be badly ad-
vised If he shall persist in dispatching
this special embassy to do homage to
| the monarchical principle
There is no need in precedent or in
tcrnationaI comfy for a display of
funkcysm that must be abhorrcnt to
every Republican, not only in the
United States, but throughout the
globe. ......
The wise thing for President RoOse.
welt to do is to privately invite Mr..
Reid to publicly decline the mission
and then appoint nobody else in his
stead.
| The knee breechcs and sword and
cooked hat and shoe buckles and braid.

can present them to Mr. William Wal
dorf Astor, who is about the only
American now in the public eye that

common report said many documents
bearing on this subject were to be
found. After much investigation, aid
ed by distinguished Latin scholar
who translated the old Latin in which
the manuscripts were found to be writ
ten, it was found there were thirteen
different manuscripts in the great
Paris library, two in the Bodlean Ii
brary in Oxford. and one in the library
of the Archbishop of Neuremberg in
Germany. the latter a German trans
lation. These documents, which bear
date Of the tenth century, are substan-
TALLY alike. They begin both with ac-
counts of the nativity of Our Lord
from the writings of the early Faith
ers. Extracts from the lives of the
saints from the same sources; letters
from ST. John. and finally they give a
description of st. Brendan himself, and
then tell of Il confession made to Il
Father Bariendus by sailor-who
told of having been wrecked on great
new country beyond the western
ocean. This story of the shipwrcckcd
mariner is told in turn to ST. Brendan,
and in this way laid the foundation of
the saints future voyages. st. Bren-
dan, believing the land mentioned by
the sailor was that spoken of by St.
Patrick when standing on a high
mountain in the southwest of Ireland.
he pr0phesed that man would arrive
in those parts who would sail over the
great western ocean and would there
discover the Promised Land which lay
just beyond, and would there gather a
large harvest of souls for Christ.
Our good saint believing the account
of the sailor as given by Father Bar
indus and st. Patrick's prophecy; and
being most anxious for the salvation
of souls, sought counsel of fourteen of
his most prudent brethren, for he was
the abbot of large community. They
regarded the story of Father Barindus
as revelation. and gave their good
abbot every encouragement to proceed
with his great undertaking. They then
made all the necessary preparations
for the hazardous enterprise.
All being ready and with provisions
for the company for forty days on
board, they started on their momentous
journey. They had a prosperous voy-
age for fifteen days, the wind carrying
them along pleasantly and easily; their
only care being to keep the vessel on
her course. After two weeks the wind
which had so long and so well be-
friended them ceased, and they were
compelled to have recourse to their
oars and so continued till their strength
was exhausted. At this time the saint
comforted and consoled his brethren,
and said: "Fear not, my brethren, for
God is in this Seaman, Helper and
Captain. Take in your oars and rud-
der and give out the sails. Let God
do with His servants and with His
ship as He pleases."
After forty days they reached land
where the shores ascended almost like
wall. They effected a landing, how.
ever. The reports Of what they saw
are wonderful in the extreme. They
found the country very fertile, well
wooded and full of flowers.

THE LAST DITCH.


his discovery of the new land. which
unquestionably was America: "Behold
the land you have sought for so long
a time. The reason you saw it not
sooner was because God wished to
show you the secrets of the ocean. Re
turn, therefore. to the land of your
nativity. carry with you. of the fruits
and gems, all that your ship can carry.
for the days of your pilgrimage are
near to a close, and you shall sleep
with your fathers. But after the lapse
of many years this land shall be made
known to your descendants when
Christianity shall overcome pagan per-
secution. Now this river which You
see divides the land, and as it now
appears rich in fruits, so it shall al
ways appear without Il shadow of
night, for it's light is Christ"
So much for the documents them
selves. That the Portuguese had the
utmost faith in the discovery of our
saint is shown by the fact that they
constantly sought to rediscovcr it. But
perhaps the strongest proof that can
be given is this: that when the portu-
guese ceded to the Grown of CASTLE
sovereignty and dominion over the
Canary Islands. they also ccdcd st.
Brendans Land, as certain of future
discovery.
But it is sometimes asked. if st.
Brendan discovered America why did
he not make it's existence known to
the world? We should remember that
in those days there were no printing
presses, no newspapers and none of the
ordinary means of communication that
we now possess.
Our great sailor saint was born at
Tralee, in County Kerry, in the year
4S4, and died in 577 in his ninety
fourth year, at the convent, presided
over by his Sister Biega, on the shores
Of Lough Corrib in CouNty Galway.
So highly was the saint vcncrltcd in
the district where he died that his re-
mains had to be taken away at night,
and secretly, to his own abbey at Clon-
fert in the same county. He is sup
posed to have begun his voyages on or
about the year $40, and to have con-
tinued his explorations in all about
seven years, going from one port Of
America to another and everywhere
preaching, teaching and baptizing; and
spreading the Gospel of Christ. Doubt
less to this early preaching of Chris
tianity is due the many evidences of
Christian faith and practice found
among many Indian tribes. Mount
Brcndan, to which the saint bctook
himself when he wished to get away
from the world and it's cares, and
where his oratory is found at an elcva-
ton of 1927 feet above the sea, is stu
ated on the southwest coast of Ireland
overlooking the Atlantic ocean, and Is
an object of great interest to those OH
board the great transatlantic steam
ers passing to.and fro. At the foot of
the mountain is Brendan Bay, from
which the saint sailed when in quest
of our land. 1t is almost needless to
say that st. Brendan is one of the
greatest mariner saints in the calendar
