A CHURCH TRUST.

At the Unitarian conference IN this
city yesterday a minister from Vine
land. New Jersey. in explaining the
difficulties under which certain preach
ers labor, stated that In his own town
there are sixteen churches and only
5000 inhabitants. Now II requires but
little figuring 10 see the vast amount
OF energy that is wasted in that COM
munlty and the extent 10 which reli-
gious agencies are multiplied.
In the average community certainly
not more than one-half Of the people
attend religious services or are amli-
ated with the churches In any way. So
averaging it up there are 1856 people to
support each Of the churches in Vine
land. Taking the usual estimate Of five
persons TO a family there are thirty
families TO support each Of these
churches, TO pay salaries. keep up the
properties and contribute TO all Of the
funds that 60 with church work.
That Is the material side. and the
question is. how can they do it7 1t is a
fact that should be recognized that IN
communities where the people are pooi
the maintenance Of these numerous
churches and all the machinery thai
belongs 10 them Is an awful burden
Pastors are compelled TO CONSTANT,
urge liberal giving. and the result q
that many give what they can IN az
ford.
Then think OF the minister's lot unde
such conditions. He is probably col
lege graduate. He must live and dres
respectfully. II he wishes to keel
abreast OF the times he must buy book
and periodicals, and his salary Is no
sufficient to enable him to do so. Per

CONFERENCE OF UNITARIANs
Interesting All-day Meetings Held in
First Church, This City.

Judge Thomas J.. Morris OF Baltimore.
was chosen president and Miss Mary D.
Sisson, of this city. secretary and treas
urer Of the conference held in the First
Unitarian Church. in West street about
Eighth, yesterday. After considerable dis
cussion tt was decided to call 1t the Joseph
Priestly conference.
At the afternoon session several topics
of interest were discussed. Professor
Morris Jastrow. Jr., Of the University OF
Pennsylvania, read a paper on Tho
Study OF Religion in its Relation to Relig-
ious Beliefs and Practices" and short
addresses were made by the Revs. James
II. Ecob. Oscar 3. Hawes and Alexander
+. Bowser. Then followed a general dis
cussion on religious topics.
The evening session opened at 7.s0
o'clock. The subject for discussion was
'The Unitarian Opportunity and How to
Meet It" and was participated in by the
Revs. Ulysses G. B. Peirce. William NJ.
Gilbert, Alfred r. Hussey and Frederic
A. Hinckley.

regarded as a moving machine to gut
a swath through a crowd. IN fact,
should a fender come TO be regarded hs
an absolute protection II would prcb-
ably render people careless. and more
accidents wcrld surely follow.
For iais reason there are persons
who claim that tenders actually do
harm, az they beget oarelessness on the
part Of tho people so that they DO not
use the precautions necessary to pre-
vent accidents There are statistics
showing how many persons Tenders
have picked mp. but there Is nothing to
show how many OF these would have
exercised little more care had they
known that the cars we're not equipped
with these safety devices.
Now we do not mean that there
should be no tenders, but that it is well
to impress people that the only safety
lies IN giving streets cars the right
Of way. All sorts OF tests are made
to show tho efficiency OF these ap-
pliances; they pick up sacks OF bran
placed on "a track, and even pick up
men who know their business, but it is
Impossible to construct a fender that

But where are all the
people 10 come from? They must come
from the other churches. if they come
at ALL And accessions OF this nature
are certain to stir UP iil-feeling in the
community.
Besides this, Il is also true that the
preacher under these conditions loses
the strength and vigor he should pos
sess lie must constantly cater TO the
whms and pfeluaiees Of his flock, for
TO lose one Of them from any cause
would be DISASTROUS There are doubt
less times when this goes to far as to
temper certain doctrinal truths.
Contrast this with many towns in
Catholic countries. and one disadvan-
tage Of our method appears. In many
a European town Of 5000 there is but
one church. and the parish priest is
supreme In religious matters. Perhaps
he has one or two assistants This
church is the center Of all the religious
activities OF the community. There all
the sacraments are performed and the
priest Is the most important Individual
in the district. A few pennies from
each Of his parishioners is sufficient to
support all OF the agencies Of the
church.
This Is a question that In a measure
is Independent Of individual faith and
comes within the realm Of church eco
nomics. In America, particularly in ru-
raj communities, there Is an awful
waste. Why cannot there be a church
trust, taking in kindred communionsl
We mean It seriously. The differences
between the creeds Of several Of the
evangelical churches are so slight that
they do not extend to the lives and
hopes Of the people. Why In small
communities should they not combine
and agree to support one strong church
devoted, not to denomlnationalism, but
to religion?

on this subject was simply making a
protest against the centralizatlon Of

The New York platform is likely TO

mean. for instance-"corporationa

iect to just regulation by the State in
the interest of the people,? 1t sounds
like plank written TO catch the coon

Il says either too much or too little.
It apparently means that Federal laws
must not interfere with a corporation
chartered by state and that means
a desire 10 repeal the Sherman anti-
trust law, and 70 lay aside the only
weapon that has proved equal to the
task OF checking oppressive combina-

New Ensland's Crime.

New Ensland's Crime.
From the Baltimore American.
Murders Of women have been by no
means uncommon in New England the
past few years. In fact, the list OF such
deeds has become so long as to excite con-
siderable comment, and some theories
have been advanced 10 account for an ap-
parent increase in crime OF this sort. Some
OF these theories. based upon the conten-
ton that there has been a degeneration in
New England life, are wholly untenable
and unworthy OF serious consideration.
New England life is very little different
from life in any other -, IT'S OF the coun-
Try, except as 1t Is affected by climatic

The CONVENTION INTERPRETED.

we think the consensus Of opinion
among Republicans is that the con-
vention which assembled I'm Dover on
Tuesday did good work, and prepared
the way for a greater future. The plat
form which emphatcally declared for
every tenet OF Regular Republican doc
trlne was adopted enthusiastically and
without protesting voice. And every
delegate who sat in that convention
and their constituents are bound by
that platform.
That convention adopted this plank
without dissent and with apparent en-
thusiasm: we denounee the oorrup-
zionist and the demasooue. We call
for the enforcement Of the State laws
against bribery"
That one plank justihes the existence
Of the Regular Republican party. It
explains our fght Of twelve years. II
reiterates what has been said thou
sand times and in a thousand ways
That, then, represents the sentiments
Of every delegate to that convention
and the sentiments Of his constituents.
And that Is enough.
It is idle. then, TO question the attl-
tude OF this man or that There may
be differences OF opinion ON minor
points; there may be questions as to
candidates and methods, but the policy
OF the Regular Republican party which
has obtained IN the past is assured for
the future by that platform and It's
unanimous and enthusiastic accept
ance.
And the results promise greater
things for the future because certain
elements which in a measure have held
sloof. and have been regarded as only
negative elements. have become an act
uai part Of the Regular Republican
machinery. There is strong dele
cation selected to go to Chicago; there
is a strong State committee. and every
man who is at heart Regular Re-
publican finds IN the party councils
some leader whose banner he can fol-
low.
The Regular Republican purpose Is
plain: To adhere rigidly TO its princi-
pies; to preserve not only the form but
the spirit OF Republicanism in Dela-
ware, and TO eliminate all bitterness
that does not arise from the necessity
OF stating actual facts.
