CHRISTIAN UNION
 IN FL CENTRO
By Rev. J. F. Tout
nlRAHHHApiHNAHM

dertaken by the Christian people now in which all acknowledge success comes only when all stand together, we must form special organization in order that such work may be done; this proves two things: First that we can do little unless we are united and sec ond, that if such union is necessary in one case It would work well and be more than correspondlngly successful in all cases.
 3. Unity Is demanded for economic reasons. God wastes nothing. We should copy after hs patterns. All we should need to do would be to exer- else as much common sense In rellg lon as we do in business. When we set about to educate the children we build and organize our schools along the lines of economy for the whole communlty-for all the children. We do not build rival schoolhouses. We do not employ competitive teachers, but the whole department of education In the town Is unified and cooperation is the spirit which pervades the whole system.
 What Is more contradictory in Fl Centro than for the little company of Christians to divide up and cripple their none too great resources flnanci- ally and proceed to build two or three churches when they might glorify God and bless the whole town by support Ing an able resident ministry and build good and even elegant place of wor- ship. In which all who love the Lord might worship. If such an effort should be made sincerely 1t would command the respect of all the people.
 As 1t now stands how dlscouraglng to the business people whether "church member" or not to be called on to start and forever foster and cultivate condition not contemplated by either the Bible. common sense. piety or the interests of the community
 God calls upon us to serve the high est and best interests of the communi- ty and when we proceed in a way to provoke we'll grounded criticism what can we expect but at least partial fail ure. Even Gods work requires that 1t be carried on economically-more can be done.
 4. The spiritual development of the people requires that we show our oneness. Denominatonalism denies to all our members the advantages which all possess. If a church mem Der has special talent or influence or power he is compelled to deny 1t to all except his own "church" when It can be just as easily shared by all the peo- pie. Again, if one gets in "rut' or becomes formal or extremely fanaucai he is much less liable to have these corrected by being confined to his own church" where these may even be regarded as virtues! Again, these divisions tend to narrow us in vision and horizon; religiously we become moulded after distorted pattern rath- CT than by the influence that should be exerted by all the people. A "denom- nation" emphasizes some virtues or graces ana neglects others habltualIy till the membership comes to think that such Is the whole truth" yet in fact they are "lop sided" and distorted and stand ready to bellttle nelghbor- Ing "church" for a similar lack in

 It seems to me that all the condl- tons are so different from hundred or more years ago that we are abso- lutely nexcusable In perpetuatlng some of the fagrantserrors and wicked d. visions vhlchIthe temper and intoler- ant spirit ofIthe people then made un- avoldable.

 think, Mr.lEditor that ought to give some reasons for my earnest dis- sent from such a program.
 l. The scriptures-the accepted authority of all these religious bodies everywhere condemns divisions among the followers of.Christ. The teaching of the New Testament Is squarely against the divisions as they exist to- day; no one can successfully dispute this. If this should be attempted reserve the right to call up the specific teaching on the subject. Is not this fact alone enough to make man trembe who seeks to plant the seeds of division among the Lords people, where 1t is entirely inexcusable2 Chris tian men and women should rise in their righteous protest and assert their readiness to unite with one another in the great work of personal and com munlty redemption. It is absurd to think that the word of God should be capable of such contortlon of interpre- tatlon as to support this confusion and contradiction. Unity is the very na- lure of God; in all things and especially in the establishment of brotherhood of humanity is this object supreme.
 2. All the interests of a community demand the unity of the Lords people This is self evident; no amount of pal try excuses can contradict a true prin- clple. The very essence of the relig ion of Jesus is harmony-co-op opera tlon-unIversal sympathy, brotherhood. This cannot be manifested when the efforts to compete-to rival-to d. vide are most apparent

such request, the President may use any

Bryan on Newspaper Honesty.

From the San Francisco Argonaut.
William Jennings Bryan, soon after
his return from Europe, attended a din
ner given in his honor by New York
newspaper men. Mr.. Bryan said, during
his remarks that evening:
The problem before us Is to stop
In the editorial rooms the selling Of
consciences for a salary. No newspa-
per can be run without brains, and
brains there must be in the editorial
rooms. Men In this country who have
grown rich by predatory means cannot
write editorials. There is one way to
stop all unlawful accommodations Of
wealth, and that is to refuse to write
one word that we can't put our con-
sciences Into.
If q corporation starts to rob a city
or a state 1t must have it's attorney
in h shape of a newspaper. Recent
~ we had in this country a great in
vestigation into a business, and the re-
suit of that is still fresh in our minds
and we remember 1t with much sorrow
in our hearts. Yet I venture 10 assert
that most OF the editors in this room
knew as much about all this corrup-
ton hve years ago as they do today.
Yet Eyou did not speak out. Why?'

CHICKENS A PENNY APIECE.

A Cow for $3.50 and 43 Glasses of Beer

Two cents or it's equivalent would
buy a pair of ch1ckens--in the four
teenth century. For the value of a,
nickel one could acquire q goose fit for
a Christmas dinner-in the fourteenth
century. (,
A penny would purchase a dozen
strictly fresh eggs-in the fourteenth
century; while for 2 cents the brewer
vas compelled by law to sell three gall
Ions of beer, the equivalent of forty
eight glasses.
A man could buy the finest Of fat.

Pasture n arabic lands were

latter being considered a fair annual
rental. Draught horses were q drug on

three draught horses, half a dozen
oxen, twenty cows and 200 sheep, leav-
ing a balance of 50 toward the payment
of the rent. which would be perhaps SIS

The other side of the story, SO far as
h laboring mar is concerned, comes
In the following figures. Three cents a
day was considered good wages for an
ordinary laborer. Even at harvest
time 4 cents was the highest amount
expected.
House rent was so low that the lord
mayor Of London paid only "a. 80 a year
to his landlord. The chancellor had am
annual salary Of $192. When a father
sent his son to a university 4 cents a.
day was looked upon as a comfortable
allowance, with q margin for such lux
urles as wine at s or IL cents a gallon.
A salary of S24 a year was consid-
cred munitlcent. King Edward vi.
gave his daughter an allowance of 50. so
