FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY.
ON Which the Hope of Years May
Be Realized.

In his sermon at the Collegiate
church, New York city, DR.. Donald S.
Mackay, talking on "A Plea for Chris
tian Unity" expressed the belief that
this goal can be reached only along
the line of INSTRUMENTATION CO.
operation. It is a dream, he said, that
all Christendom can be made one in
creed, doctrine and ceremonial. The
former plan, however, he considers
feasible, and he presented in his SER
mon a bais on which he thought it
could be accomplished.
"At no time has there been such a
yearning for a united Christendom as
to-day. The reformation of the Twen-
tieth Century-if we live to see it
will be based on the sanctifcation of
collectiveism, and one of it's dominant
features will be unity of churches.
"First of all, we must do away with
the competition between churches. If
there is anything destructive to spir-
itual life, it is such competition. It
removes the central idea of the
prayer, THY Kingdom Come,'-every
time it is said-from Christ, who ought
to be the center, to some particular
denomination"
DIR. Mackay gave the following con-
ditions as being essential to the con-
summation of Christian unity: Mu-
tual recognition, mutual forbearance:
mutual service and mutual prayer:

The Long Prairie Leader
means to be fair, and there
fore it should correct the
statements made in a recent
issue regarding Judge Brue-
ner. Mr.. Bruener supported
the democratic ticket straight,
in 1900.' 1t is true that in
1896 Mr.. Bruener was not
supporting the national candi-
dates of the party, but he
came back into line afterward
with thousands of others who
had done the same. The mon.
ey question is not, it's true,
disposed of, but 1t is not now
the question, and it was but an
incidental one in the last
campaign. Let us stand by
our principles, but it will also
do no harm to exercise some
charity.
