AMONG The CHURCHES.

The Roman Catholic Society for
the Preservation Of the Faith among
Indian Children is seeking to gain a.
membership of four hundred thous-
and, each member to pay an annual
fee of % cents. It's first annual re-
port has just been published, and
shows receipts of $780, 1872. More than
half of this sum came from the do
cese of Cleveland and the archdiocese
Of Philadelphia, in which Indian mis-
sions have many frienos. The scott
ty was suggested by the late Arch
bishop Corrigan, and was started in
1901. It's work is direct from Wash
ington, and is part of the Indian
work formerly done at government
expense, but carried on by religious
bodies, Catholic and Protestant. A
few years ago government support
was withdrawn from all, causing some
hardship, since several stations had
erected buildings at large cost. Pro
tests were unavailing, and now prI-
vate contributions take the place as
far as possible of public grants.
Union between the Presbyterian
church North and the Cumberland
Presbyterian church has been dis
cussed by those bodies for some
years, and now seems to be on the
point of accomplishment. A joint
committee of the bodies met few
days ago and agreed upon basis Of
union whereby the Cumberland
church practically accepts the doc
trinal standards of the larger body.
Before union can be effected, the ac-
ton of the committee must be ap-
proved by the general assemblies OF
the two bodies, and then referred by
them to the presbyteries, two-thirds
of which must approve the action to
make it final. The total membership
of the two bodies is 1,222,274, OF
which the Cumberland church has

The American Tract society mas ap-

pared for ministering to the spiritual
needs Of the people who will soon be
found assembled within the limits OF
st. Louis. Several men are already
in view as available for this work, il
only the, needed funds can be secured
to place them on the ground.

The pIcnic.

Thursday was picnic day, and at
o o clock in the morning long string
Of teams, headed by the band, started
for Pugsley's lake for the merriest,
most care-free time Of all the week.
ON arrival at the lake. many people
were found 20 be already on the
grounds, and before noon there was a
big crowd. although hundreds did not
20 until afternoon In the middle Of
the afternoon, there was one of the
largest crowds ever seen on the
grounds. The band furnished music
throughout the day.
From L 10 o'clock, dinner was en-
ioyed, after which followed an hour
or so of the usual picnic amusements.
Then order was called for a little in
formal program. Singing was led by
b. a. Cummings, j. G. Warner and J.
w. Free.
The first speaker was Julius Clapp,
whose boyhood days were spent on a
Paw Paw farm and who says he is
coming back 70 a Paw Paw farm as
soon as his children's education is
completed. Successful city business
man though he is, he loves the soil,
and took for his theme the tendency
among farmers sons TO want 20 leave
the farm. He deplores the tendency.
and believes the brightest of business
chances are TO be found on Van
Buren, county farms. To counteract
the tendency, he advocated better
education for farmers SONS and
daughters, and especially along agri.
cultural lines.
Short talks were also made by =
H. Kelley Of Detroit, DR.. Bulsou o.
Jackson, Mrs. j. J. Woodman of Paw
Paw and p. 4. Glidden of Detroit
The picnic was a great success il
every respect.
