PROTESTANT UNITY.

The dream of unity holds strange fascination
for the Protestant mind The fascination is the
greater in proportion to the disintegration every
where visible among those who at the time of the
great revolt against the Church of Rome in the
sixteenth century set up private Judgment as the
ultimate court of appeal in matters pertaining to
faith and dogma. Last week at meeting called
by Presbyterians in New York City for the purpose
of celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of
their church's independence even of other Presbv-
terian churches, the speeches were practically all
expressive of the hope that the time was not far
distant when there would be celebration of e.
nter-dependence, the unity, not only of all ca;
Presbyterian churches but of the Protestant church
es of the United States. One of the most ELOQUENT
in voicng this hope reverend Episcopal min
lister who had seeded from the Presbyterian
Church ten years ago, doubt conscentiouslv
persuaded that there no room for man of
his heterodox orthodox views among the follow
ers of Calvin. One would think that the reverend
speaker would be ready to further the movement
he earnestly prayed for by expressing regret for
his conversion and begging to be readmitted in
the church he had abandoned Clearly ten wears
have not witnessed any noted approach in doctrine
between the twosects. GAS we know a little more"
said another reverend minister "the better we nm
derstand and the nearer we come to unity Is
that true in the light of facts? Between Episco-
palians alone, with increase of knowledge we
cannot in charity suppose that ignorance is becom-
ing more dense-divisions are if anything increas-
ing and the nessof separation more strictly drawn

THE VICE OF GAMBLING.

There are no words strong enough for us tc
warn especially young men against the vice Of
gambling There is no vice more insidious, mol
that creeps into the soul more imperceptibly and
grips it disastrous " with the clutch of death
1t seems to combine characteristics from two vices
that are Numerically the opposite of each other
The real gambler is a resultant from avarice and
prodigaity. The rush of these two vices into the
soul must tear it from its mornings Experience
proves that the daily ruin this vice causes is enor-
NOUS Honor stained, lives are bEghted families
are wrecked, and black despair completes the awful
picture 1t is the abuse that counts; but how
quickly the abuse comes in. There are few sources
of dishonesty comparable to the thirst for gam
bling. There is no depth, swayed as the unfortu-
nate alternately is, by hope and despair that the
gambler will not seek, to crafty the mad passion
which is devouring his soul. In every community
there is band of young men who give over much
OF their earnings in betting; in the larger cities
these bands often many times multiplied The
constant indulgence in petty gambling saps the
desire for honest labor and awakens homes and as
poets that doomed never to be realized It I'M
dermnes character and unsettles the regularity of
lie. Many of these young men float in and out
OF saloons and barber shops all day long like wrecks
that are pounded to pieces against the shore Habits
OF ldleness are formed; evil associations is ofen
contracted They live their lives without purpose
or ambition. Petty gambling has not done it all;
but 1t makes element in creating an idle youth
shiftess manhood and dependent old age

yes we can even find time to sin, and vet out of

to step into the church and ask Jesus to bless US
There is nothing that should appeal more to
Catholics than the lonely Saviour who is ever pres
