iueHl " iitt OF tOlDS college, Water
vile, on THE UNCONVENTIONAL Hori-
zon," in which the speaker discussed
the proposed union of Baptist and Free
Baptists. He said in part:
"Who would dare to assert that our
UNCONVENTIONAL horizon is unchristian?
And yet l fear that such 4 statement
is true. The Baptists and Free Baptists
once constituted single denominat ton.
Our horizon was then Identical. Today,
we are separated by organization. pre-
JUDGE, educational foundation and
sentiment. Personally, l look forward
to the day, which l believe is not far
away. when we shall join our forces in
this State and nation and present a
united front TO the world. Let us not
be afraid this evening to rigidiy COM
pare our horizon with that of Chris
tianity in its early years The horizon
of the early church was, first, Jerusa-
lem. Persecution enlarged it to include
Judta. A great missionary impulse
extended it throughout the Roman en-
rire. The Roman Catholic church has
always been missionary and should be
honored for it's loyalty to missions.
Professionalism at first during the pc
riod of the Reformation spent it's ener-
eics in the determination Of doctrine:
while the Lutherans and other denom-
nations were Huarrrling over the SYM
bis of their faith. their horizons ceased
to expand. but the Church of Rome
was conquering a new world and going
into all the earth.
"Whcn Jesus was tempted as he
stood IN the mountain and beheid all
the kingdoms of the earth. he enjoyed
a horizon which should be that of our
churches today. In the hour of his as
ccnsion on still another mountain he
again had a vision of all the peoples OF
, the earth. when he said to his disciples.
whose successors we are. Go We into
all the world and preach the gospel to
every creature, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and
of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever / have
commanded you. and 10 am with you
always even unto the end of the
| world
what was the horizon Of our fathers?
| They little suspected the extent of our
country little dreamed Of Its destiny.

themselves IN the WllutrncSS ana 10 pullU

New York.-The VOW taken by the
beautiful Caroline Osborne 25 years
ago, when stern father forbade her
marriage to her betrothed. that she
would never look upon or speak to
a man again, has been kept SO re-
ligfously all these years that the few
remaining people of the once pros
porous village Of Baskerville, in the
Litchfield hills, near Waterbury,
Conn, no longer regard her with Gu
riosity. They have come to respect
the sad consistency of the recluse,
whose beauty has slowly withered

go to the grave without taking the
slightest notice of the existence Of
the father whose opposition to her
marriage scared her soul and caused
her to renounce the world. He passed
from her life that fateful Christmas
eve quarter of a century ago, when,
in terrible anger he ordered her
sweetheart, Arthur Lumpkins, from
his door. and told him never to seek
his daughter again

which bears his name. Upon the

And then-then 1 noted the frieze!
My eyes seemed instinetiVely to
travel to that stretch Of ugliness-
they fastened upon the dots with a
kind of fascination. And none too
soon.
From one of the dots spurted forth
what looked like a tiny stream of
water. Another followed and another
and yet another. The whole multitude
of dots were raining liquid upon the
dancers from all sides Of the room!
The streams came from north, east.
south and west. They came from the
hallway behind me-a hundred of
them seemed to converge upon my
devoted back. I was fairly soaked
through in a second.
