The Journal published last week letter
from President William Dewitt Hyde of Bow
don college in behalf of the Interdenomina-
tional Commissi IN of Maine, urging closer
spiritual unity between summer visitors in
Maine and the natives The Rockland Opin-
ion comments on President Hyde's letter as
follows
Without wishing to set up as an authority on
church unity, we are obliged to state that we
believe the Commission is barking up the
wrong tree. The religion of our summer
guests is radically different from that of our
home churches. 1t is more complex, more
tinged with modern science and the higher
criticism. To mix the two brands would spoil
the flavor of both. The sermons of these
"friends of the summer visitors" while ex-
cellent in their own churches, will introduce
new gods and new ideas and harmony will be
conspicuous by absence after the sewing circle
holds its first post mortem over the city
preachers first sermon. Nor are we optimistic
about the result when the visitors get a good
dose of unexpurgated Maine religion from a
local preacher. They are accustomed to take
their religion literally mixed with the latest
popular SO iological theories, guaranteed pure
by the Harvard chairs of economics and psych-
ology. Homeopathic doses at that, well sugar
ed with high salaried choirs and millinery dis
plays. We have no doubt that change would
be genuinely beneficial to both residents and
visitors but it is too mich to expect that
either will like it or accept it without resist
ance. We are, however, glad to help the
Commission by giving publicity to the plan
and shall watch its progress with interest and
