Tucker deferred the general from max.

we're grave dissensions in the army in
England, and they have not yet been
wholly healed. This time, however, it
is said the American trip will certainly
be made, beginning in September. and
halls in all principal cities to San
Francisco are being engaged. At the
end of May there is to be held in New
York the anniversary congress to last
seven days, and to bring together 500
officers, and all American staff council.
At this council the itinerary of General
Booth will be fixed. Mrs. Booth-Tucker

To Promote True Judaism.

A national movement to promote
true Judaism is making some head
way, and early this month is to be or.
gained permanently. For the most
part it is a lay undertaking, rabbis be-
ing excluded from its list OF officers.
Its aim Is announced to be to found
schools which shall instruct Hebrew
youth, and especially young men, in
both the elementary principles of Juda-
ism and in the advanced study of Mish-
nah and Talmud. The claim is made
that Hebrew youth are ignorant of
Jewish history, law and customs, and
that and more Jewish young peo-
pie are ashamed of their ancestry. The
outcome is, so it is claimed, that moral
and religious obligations are neglected
to such extent as to bring reproach
upon Hebrews as a race. The inten-
ton of the proposed organization is
to take up instruction on the Chautau-
qua plan, by the holding of summer
schools and by the founding of schools
in as many cities as possible.

Methodists North and South.

a pronounced change of sentiment
has come owe M~ethodists north this
spring in the matter of union with
Methodists south. Much has been
written about such possible union, but
until nov nobody has been found. eth
er north or south, who would confess
to a real desire for it. The change has
been brought about by the desperate
condition of southern Methodism over
the book concern affair, by discussion
of comfy plans to be presented at Dal-
las. when the quadrennial general con-
ference meets there this month. and
by the general sentiment of the coun-
try. showing first in political matters.
1t is acknowledged that there still eX-
lists the serious obstacle of the colored
man, but the historic fact is to be
noted that in the spring of 1902 there
appeared for the first time a genuine
and widespread feeling in the north
toward organic union. This feeling
does not obtain, it is said. throughout
Methodists south. This difference
shows the same tendencies as obtain
between Presbyterians north and
south. Northern Presbyterians are
willing to unite with the southern
ones, but the latter will hear none of
the proposals. Methodist conditions
have now reached the same stage. The
separation took place following the
general conference of 1914, and the
table employed by the presiding bishop
at that conference has a marble slab
top which has since split into two IN
equal parts. The split saved the table,
but for it the table would not now he

News Of the Churches.

Official action has just been taken

mems missionary league. the member.
ship of which will be men active in
Protestant Episcopal church extension
here and abroad. The purpose is to he
auxiliary to all Episcopal missionary
effort. but especially to cooperate with
the American Church Missionary So
ciety. This society used to represent
only the low church element. but OF
late years these Episcopal distinctions
have not been distinctive, and within
that church less and less is heard
about ritualism and the rest. An at
tempt will be made to bring into the
new auxiliary diocesan organizations
in Detroit, Pittshurg. Minneapolis. San
Francisco. Los Angeles, Buffalo. Phila-
delphia. New York and n few other
cities. and gradually TO organize
branches in other principal cities.

work similar to that done by the wo-

Lutheran Summaries.

The Lutheran theological seminary
at Chicago closed a very successful
year last Wednesday evening, when
commencement exercises were held in
Holy Trinity church. The address to
the graduates was delivered by Rev.
Alfred Ramsey, of Minneapolis, who is
the clerical brother of the family of
railroaders of that name. OF the four
teen graduates il is suggestive OF the
influence of this seminary to know
that they represent ten states and five
n~ationalities, and no fewer than eleven
synods from the various general bodies
of the Lutheran church. All of the
graduates have charges or have re-
ceived calls, and every undergraduate
connected with the seminary has min
isterial and missionary work for the
summer vacation. An effort is to be
made to remove the debt which ham,

THE SONG OF THE TOAD

Have you heard the blinking toad
Sing his solo by the river
When April nights are soft n warm,
And spring is all a-quiver?,
If there are jewels in his head,
His wits they often middle,
For his mate will lay her eggs
Into a drying puddle.
The jewels in his throat. / ween,
And song in ample measure:
For he car a the welkin ring,
And do it at his leisure.
At ease he sits pom the pool.
And void of fuss, or trouble,
Makes vesper music fit for kings
From out an empty bubble.

That drifts above the chorus
OF shriller voices from the marsh

y tender monotone of song.
With vernal longings blending;
That rises from the ponds and pools,
And seems at times unending.
A linked chain of bubbling notes,
When birds have ceased their calling
That lulls the ear with soothing sound
Like voice of water falling.
IT is the knell of winter dead;
Goodbye. his icy fetter,
Blessings IN the warty head;
No bird could do it better.

Conversational Missions.

At the annual meeting of the Con
gregational Home Missionary society,
to be held at Syracuse from June 3 to
5, il is expected that the differences
between the central society and the
thirteen state auxiliaries will be defln-
itely settled. According to officials of
the home society, al adjustment of the
differences is likely to be made in a
manner that will be satisfactory to
that body, in that it will leave to the
society much of the executive power II
formerly held and which was taken
from IL by the agreement of last spring

To Be Settled in Denver.

The saloon question has got into a
curious place. That place is the inter
national Sunday school lesson commit
tee. The Sunday school interests that
reyolve around the international les
son series are to meet in Denver this
summer, and a proposition TO come up
for settlement there is a reduction OF
the number of temperance lessons dur
ing the year from four to two. Under
present arrangements there is such
lesson at the end of each quarter. The
proposition is TO have them at the end
of each half year only gains strength,
and il is said will probably carry. For
some reason temperance agitation is
at a staudstill. anu as for aggressive
temperance work there is declared to
be none. At the same time the liquor
interests are especially active all over
the country. Hard work is being done
everywhere. Organization is being eff
feCted, and there are being drawn into
semi-omcial relations with such inter
ests a class of men never before reach
ed. A slight effort is to be made TO
introduce the Earl Grey plan Of reform

Christian people that sell beer, but en-
