A Proposed Union.

In 1908, in Baltimore, the Meth.
odist Episcopal church, in its genera
conference, made a proposition to
the Methodist Protestant church for
union. The reply of the Methodist
Protestant delegate, DR.. F. H.
Lewis, was: That such a union
is honorable and possible, and desir-
able. l have not the slightest
doubt" said he, Nay, will 90
farther and say that if we read right
ly the signs of the times, God wills
it,"
The same conference provided for
the appointment of the federal coun-
Gil, to be composed of members of
both the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South. This resolution
had been adopted by the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South two years
previous, at its session of general
conference at Birmingham, Alabama.
The Evangelical association, the
United Brethren, and the other
branches of MethodiSm as were in
sympathy with such a movement,
were asked to appoint commissioners
to act with the federal council.
The union of the Methodist
Episcopal church and the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, is a prac-
tical necessity. Since there is no
north nor no south, but one COM
mon country with mutually related
interests, the church must yield to
the inevitable call along the border
where the Mason-Dixie line used to
be. 1t would be Sod send if rival
ry would cease and union be effect
ed. There would be economy in
many directions. Both the churches
have violated the agreement specif-
ed in the plan of separation. The
church has six annual con-
ferences in the north, while the
northern church has seventeen an
nual conferences in the south. The |
church spends yearly SIS.
10000 missionary money in the
north; the northern church spends
$50, 10000 missionary money in the
south.
1t has been estimated that, by
union of the two churches, enough
men and money would be saved to
iouble our forces in the foreign field
md not hurt the church at home.
Think of two Methodist churches in
he same town, each struggling for
IN existence, preaching the same
doctrine. Brethren, these things

CANADIAN PREDICTS
ANNEXATION TO u. S.

( Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 15.-Commercial
union followed by annexation to the
United States is the inevitable mean
ing of the pending reciprocity agree
ment as interpreted by the conserva-
tive opposition in the Canadian parlia-
ment. This sentiment dominated q
three hours speech by George E. Fos-
ter who, under the conservative gov
eminent, was finance minister and
tariff maker.
His speech is considered typical of a
long series to come from both sides and
it is not expected vote will be reached

SKIN AFFECTIONS,
Whether on Infant or Grown Person, Cured
by ZemO and ZemO SOap.-An
Unusual Offer.

The City Drug Co. says to every person,
be it man, woman or child, who has an ir-
ritated, tender or itching skin to come to
our store and procure bottle of Zemo and
cake of Zemo soap, and if you are not en-
tirely satisfied with results, come back and
get your money. So confident are we of the
efficacy of this clean, simple treatment that
we make you this unusual offer.
Zemo is clear liquid for external use
that has cured so many cases of eczema,
pimples, dandruff and other forms of skin
eruption. Zemo and Zemo soap are the
most economical as well as the ceanest and
most effective treatment for affections of the
skin or scalp, whether on infant or grown
person. NV

low L. c. Garland were the dele
gates appointed. From these frater-
nal exchanges came the Cape May
joint commission, which met in the
year 1876.
The general conference of the
southern church of 1894 initiated
the movement which has since been
developed, for federation with the
Methodist Episcopal church. Out
of this federation has come the COM
mon fymn-book, common cate
chism, common order of worship,
a union publishing house in China,
and the consolidation into one
church of all the Methodists in
Japan.
Shall We Have Union Completed
Much has been written of late
about the union of the two
churches. The relations of the two
Methodisms have been of the most
cordial character of late years. That
which divided the church no longer
exists. The intercourse between
the two sections of the country has
wonderfully increased; the northern
people come south in winter, and
many of them abide perman emily,
and the southern people go north in
summer. Capital of the north is
coming south. Students of south
ern homes go north to complete
their education. The Spanish. Amer
can war brought the " Yankee "
and Dixie" boys together upon
The same battlefield, fighting for the
same flag. The result of this social, |
commercial, educational and mill
AIRY interchange has brought about
better understanding and a kind
Ter feeling among all classes, and
among the churches.

union Of METHODIST CHURCH

1. 1874. This general conference
organized and proceeded to bust
ness as though there had been no
division. By a unanimous vote
the conference delegated DR.. Law
ich Pierce as fraternal delegate
to visit the Methodist Episcopal
church at its session in Pittsburg
May l, 1S4s. This conference,
being composed largely of new
men, repudiated the plan of. sepa-
ration and refused to receive DR..
Pierce as a fraternal delegate
from the southern church. 1t
also declined to enter into negoti-
ations for the division of the
property in the book concerns.
DR.. Pierce addressed a note to
the general conference and took
his departure. 1t is as follows:
This note is final. The south
ern church can never renew the
offer of fraternal relations, but
the proposition can be renewed
at any time by the Methodist
Episcopal church, and if ever
made upon the basis of the plan
of separation, as adopted by the
general conference of 1871, the
southern church will cordially
entertain H."
The southern commission, in
1849, instituted suits in the feder-
al district courts of Ohio and
New York for its just share in the
book concerns in Cincinnati aud
New York. The suit in New
York was decided in favor of the
southern church, but in Ohio it
went against them. An appeal
was taken to the supreme of the
United States, which, in 1889,
without dissenting voice among
the justices, maintained their con-
tentions and ordered an equitable
division of the property to be
made.

Civil War.


Between the years 1916 and 1861
the outlook for the Southern
church was very hopeful and
prosperous. War brought de-
struction; property was destroyed
to the amount of millions of dol
lars; hundreds of thousands of
lives were lost; the very founda-
tons of society were shaken. Yet
through all these tumults and
horrors the preachers went their
rounds and preached the gospel
of peace and salvation. When
the war ended, the southern
church sustained a net loss of
thirty pIr cent in membership.
For the next ten years, during
the terrible reconstruction days,
the church suffered even more
than while the war was in prog
ress. 1t meant appalling poverty,
political acknowledgements and
thousand other ills. In all these
dark hours mess hearts were
tried. The leade s of the church
stood like heroes acing the inev-
liable. In the autumn of 1865
the college of bishops of the
church met together and
blew a trumpet blast that rang
clear and lond throughout all the
land. The address which they
deserves to be written in
letters of gold. The crisis was
on, but with faith in God the
southern church turned its face
to the future, marshalled her
loyal remnants and marched to
victory.
From 1865 to 1869 the southern
church made wonderful progress.
The supreme courts decision in her
favor gave her dignity and prestige
that caused the Methodist Episcopal
church to seek fraternal recognition
at her hands. So in 1869, and again
n 1870, the Bishops of the Metho-
list Episcopal church made tentative
looking to reunion.
This the southern church continu-
,usly rejected, on the grounds that
t did not come from, and have the

A house divided against itself

ply. The movements now are
world movements. Ecclesiasticisms
must throw their full force upon the
enemy. Methodism, with her ten
million strong, is needed to march
with a single impulse, in perfect con-
cord, as a grand division of Gods
militant host, to vanquish forever
the forces of evil from the world and
the powers Of darkness, and bring to
His coronation our Christ, who is
Lord of Lords and King Of Kings.
The question is asked: What
must we do to effect it? My reply
is: Surrender. You ask what we
are to surrender. l say: Ourselves.

ought not to be. Personally, | am
for union, 1t is in line with the
best thought and best feeling of the
day. The Christian people are get
ting more and more impatient of ev-
erything which, without full warrant,
keeps apart the folio Vers of the
Lord, and prevents the use of their
energies in contending against the
forces of sin. The world, which
has long wondered at the unneces-
sary and unseemly division, will be
far more inclined to accept the lead
ership of the church and march I'M
der the all conquering banner of
Emmanuel.
| am for union because it man
ifests the Spirit of Christianity. If
men cannot come together in the
spirit of unity, they cannot come to-
gether in the unity of the spirit.
When we separated, it was time
when men were caught in the swift
current of revolution, but now con-
servatism is the spirit of the age.
Revolutions always go too far. The
blessing coming from revolutions are
discounted because there must be |
readjustments. The negro problem
still exists in more aggravated form
than it did in 1874 or 1861. 1t will
be solved like all other national prob
lens by mutual and sympathetic ef-
fort. When the north and the
south see with eyes from which God
has struck the scales, the negro, the
Indian, the Chinese, the Japanese,
will appear as members of Gods
family, and all will be brethren; and
our cry will be: Lord, what is thy
will concerning US, and the reply
will be A new commandment
give unto thee, little children, love
one another. +"
