bodies should unite without delay. Tor ke is confident that a reunited Prespy- terianism would be an immense power for good. an almost inealculable factor for the strengthening of the religious life of the nation; and he believes u would be q great step forward to"a'u that larger union which every Christl"i' desires. The Methodists. who are by la' the greatest Protestant denomination III this country, and who are divided ih'o as many as seventeen sects, are aiiee"s considering the question of unity anu the Baptists, who are divided into elsh- loen sects, are also giving consioerapio thought to the subject, although 'he Seventh Day Baptists. of whom there gre about 5000, hold out no hope TOT re- union. The separation of the north iro'" the south both among the Methoois's and Baptists is simply the color line anu nothing more.
 .iIn the light of church history, do not consider the divisions of Christianity an evil, but there Is a shocking waste of money when some dozens of seets are all striving for single lost soul' as Is so frequently the case in many or our small towns and villages.

JOHN BULL HEEDS
 UNCLE SAM ON
 RUSSO-JAP TREATY
Especial from United Press. }

London, July 14.-English politi- clans are giving great heed to any source of information that will re- veal Americas attitude toward Japan in the light of the recent Russo Japanese treaty concerning Man churia.
 The British government was aware that Russias Manchurian policy was giving Japan great concern and as long as Japan was fearful of further trouble from Russia, she was not looking for trouble elsewhere. Now, however, that this fear has been banished by the treaty, there is some anxiety lest Japan assume a more aggressive attitude toward the United States. This anxiety is not lessened by the fact that the usso-Japanese treaty amounted to an almost direct slap at Secretary of State Knoxs plan for "internationalizing' Man churian business affairs.
 Every time there seems a possi- bility of trouble between Japan and the United States the English govern ment gets badly scared. It is un willing to face the universal storm that would be sure to como from Englishmen should England line up with Japan against America. On the other hand, the British government does not see how it could get out of it's offensive and defensive alliance W1Il Jdpdu
 Altogether, England faces an un- pleasant situation in the event of trouble between Japan and America and would go to any extreme to pre- vent such an outbreak.
 In all other respects, England is greatly pleased with the new agree ment. Japan, becoming freed of the fear of further aggression on the part of Russia becomes @ more service able ally for the English. Russia, relieved of fear of further trouble with Japan, becomes more formid- able to Germany and Austria which is exactly what England wants. China Of which the English are beginning to be afraid, has had a setback cal culated to put d check upon what ever expansion plans it may have been maturing. And finally, provid- ing the treaty does not result in further strain with Japan, the Eng fish are well satisfied with the col lapse of Japan's ambition toward se- curing a foothold in Manchuria.
 Russia, as a result of the treaty. is expected to begin immediately to take an increased interest in western affairs, while Japan is counted upon to proceed with the annexation of Korea at once.
