No Reason to Worry.
IYergennes Enterprise.1

Fletcher d. Proctor is not talking these
days. He doesn't have to- His friends
are doing 1t for him. Certainly If an
honorable business record, the successful
filling Of high and responsible offices in
town, state and county, and a personal
character that makes warm friends for
him wherever he goes, count for anything,
he has all the necessary training and
qualifications to fill such an important
office. No, on the whole, we should not
think Col Proctor has any reason to
worry much these days.

CONSOLIDATION OF RELIGION.

The consolidation of religion is in
the air. 1t is the supreme economic
and social tendencyo of the times. Even
the churches have been attacked by
it and certainly there is much to be
said for the movements now in the
making for the consolidation of de-
nominations whose beliefs are practi-
cally identical, says the Mime apolis
journal.
One of the latest projects in this
direction is that which committees of
the Congregational, United Brethren
and Methodist Protestant churches
are striving to work out. The last
named church, by the way, should
not be confused with the much larger
and quite distinct denomination, the
Methodist Episcopal church. Com
mittees appointed to formulate con-
ditions of union have recently report
ed. One committee has perfected a
plan for consolidating the publishing
work of all three churches and syndi-
much of the material without
affecting the formal existence Of pres

EPIGRAMS.

From Sunday Sermon by Rev. III. Preston
We are impatient of delay. This is
an age of white heat. He who would
keep pace with the world must not be
mapping by the way. He who would
win must look well to his gait, or he
be left behind.
We are candidates for immortality,
our main interests lie in the vast flu
ture. We shall live when time is dead,
and shine when "the sun is turned to
darkness and the moon to blood
We need a lively faith in the out
come of life. A doubter is never in
earnest and enthusiastic. The man
who only half believes his cause is
right gives to it only fainhearted SER
vice.
How helpful is love to feed the root
lets of life. 1t sweetens the bitterest
cup of human toll. 1t makes self-sac-
rafice a joy, and nothing else has such
a magical power over men around us,
as the conviction that we love them.
We may be so hemmed in by our
circumstances that we are helpless to
do any outward act for God; but none
are SO helpless but that by Gods
grace they can be pure and good, and
thus serve him by being something
if not by doing something. God can
use such lives in making the world
better.
There is no time to be lost; no trif-
ing with life's work, for the grave is
at hand; what We are to do must be
done now or never.

ent interpretations or interfering
with the educational institutions. An
other proposes a plan of polity where
by the communicates shall be organ
lied in district associations, annual
conferences and a national council to
meet quadrennially. In this way it
is expected that complete fusion will
in the end be attained.
The tendency of the religious de-
nominations to "get together" is one
of the most hopeful signs of the
times. Competition is desirable in
business, but in religion cooperation
is better.

10 REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
lngin harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee In
favor Of the election of a Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record Of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be a central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work Of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tions Of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help Us achieve a great victory.

manner the letters could be regarded
as a vindication 1t Is difficult to see,

belief, and two passages may be quot

Miss Wheeler as poodle" and signs
