The formation of a political or
ganization of all the Protestant
churches in the United States,

centered in a president and an
executive committee-this in
brief is a program for church
union formulated by the Rev

pastor in sermon to a large
audience-mostly of clergymen
at the Westport Avenue Pres
byterian church. Mr.. Matthews
declared he did not propose the
establishment of a Protestant

cording to his plan. is simply to
direct concerted action against
temporal evils and for temporal
good. 1t is not to be in any

good and honest and true Republicans
to hold all the Offices of any note in
the Southern States, but the present
system does not bring them to the front,
but does bring forth the neutrals, pre-
tenders, and Democrats. As things are
going on, there will be more than one
delegation to the next National Con-
ventlon from nearly every Southern
State. This lamentable result, which.
while IL will not change any nomination

the nominees at the polls, should be
