AIMING AT UNION OF
LUTHERAN CHURCH

discovered and plans for cooperation
will be formed.
1t is said much could be gained by
such close cooperation both in the mis-
sionary field and in the church insti-
tutions of learning Indeed, the crying
need OF the Lutheran Church today is to
get together in city mission work. In
the large cities churches-members of
different synods-exist side by side, and
yet there is little cooperation and col
liberation of work in comparison to
what would be possible with a closer
union of the church
Redistribution of Districts.
Another change that union of the
church would probably entail though
possibly not for several years to come,
would be a redistribution OF the dis
tricts. placing those districts in one
neighborhood under the same synod
Today. for instance, of the ten districts
composing the joint synod of Ohio, one
of them is as far east as the District Of
Columbia and Maryland 1t would seem
that the difference in the character and
localities would urge such a redistribu-
ton strongly
1t is distinctly understood, in the uni
hcation of the church, that there is to
be no revision of faith. The doctrines
OF the church must be subscribed to. one
and all, without reservation. There are
to be no concessions made by the
churches to each other in the matter
of faith. but all must be fully convinced
of the truth OF the confessions.
Attitude of General Synod.
AS before mentioned, there is per-
haps one body among the Lutheran
churches OF America which possibly will
object TO subscribing TO all the tenets OF
the church. That is the general synod
This body subscribes merely to the
Augsburg confession Of faith, and how
far IL is willing to go toward union with
the other churches is not known. AT
present the general synod has taken no
step in the movement. 1t is known.
however. that there are many of its
communicates who do subscribe to all
the confessions of faith and are anxious
to see the union ccnsummated.
The Lutheran church in America num-
bers something more than !, 500, 900 com
municants. This great body OF persons.
all having practically the same faith. is
still divided into no less than fourteen
independent synods-the synodical con-
ference. the general council, the gen
eral synod. the united synod Of the
Evangelical Lutheran church in the
South. and several independent pastor
ates.
In District of Columbia.
Here in the District Of Columbia are
represented some OF the great bodies OF
the church-the general synod. with the
Luther Memorial Church; ST. Pauls
Church of the Reformation. KeIlar
! Memorial Church. St Marks. St Johns
lions. West Washington Church, and
Concordia Lutheran Church (attended
by the German ambassador the syn
odical conference. with Trinity Church
and Christ's Church. and the Joint
synod of Ohio. with Grace Church and
ST Matthew's.
Though the German and English Ian
guages are both used to a large extent IN
the Lutheran church. and nearly all Of
the ministers can preach a sermon in
English or German. the tendency, as is
natural. is for the English to supplant
the German more and more. Eventually.
IL is probable English will become the
language of the church.

Grapes Absorbing Odors.

Wine and milk tend to absorb the
odors of substances near them. 1t is not
so well known that grapes also take NJ
odors in this way. The Journal of the
Society of Horticulture of Brussels states
that grapes at Geisenheim acquired an
odor of creosote, which persisted in til,
wine made from them. A still more dis
agreeable case is that of grapes which
caught the odors of decomposing offaI
from a Strengthening house. The smell
of rotting seaweed gets into grapes and
wine in some parts or of France. The
seaweed is used as manure, and the odor
in this case appears to get into the
grapes by the roots of the vine.-London

WEAVING AND LACE MAKING.
Wonderfully Successful Enterprise Es-
tabliShed by Boston Woman.

The word "spinster" has had sorry
degeneration and but family suggests
the lauding which Solomon bestowed on
the woman seeking fax and wool and
working willingly with her hands. Yet
business with the loom still offers at
traction TO women, and modern hand
weaving has brought into existence many
beautiful and useful things in cotton
and linen and wool and silk; especially
has this been the case with rugs and
hangings. Miss Marie Little has turned
an artists gift and pleasure TO this task,
her loom being in the Essex county
mountains. She chooses cotton for both
warp and wool, sometimes using cot
ton velvet She buys her materials. but
does her own dyeing. The texture of
the rugs gives them charm. there being
almost no decorative pattern, out their
great success and artistic merit lie in
their color and color combinations. She
has unerring instinct for color, and most
lovely subdued tints are worked into
harmony for the intended surroundings.
making them a perfect decoration.
Mary Ware bennett and her sister,
Clara Ware. have for some years in
their Boston studio studied and worked
in the revival of a lost art, the gilded
leather of Spain. She speaks very feel
ingly Of this work. and regards it as Il
craft more than ordinarily sensitive to
the integrity and skill of the workman"
The original processes have been faith
fully followed. with the result of gain
ing triumphs comparable in dignity and
beauty to the real CordOvan hangings
The leather is both gilded and fooled.
and has for its decorative virtues won

There has been a surprisingly success

The beginnings lay in Mrs. +. j. Web

which led to her own thorough study.
