METHODIST UNION NEAR.
DIR. Lewis Says Those at Cincinnati
Meeting Favored Al. I

That the union of the three great
branches OF Methodism will soon be
accomplished was the declaration vi
Rev. DIR. T. H. Lewis, president OF
Western Maryland College and a mem
Der of the committee OF nine appoint
ed by the Joint Commission on Meth
odist Union which met in Baltimore
on December !. lie has Just returned
from the meeting OF the committee
which was held in Cincinnati last
week.
While he refused to disclose the ex-
act nature of the agreement that was
reached, as II IL being withheld to
report to the meeting OF the commits
sion which will be held in Chatta-
nooga next May, DIR. Lewis said he
was greatly pleased with the outcome
Of the gathering and hopeful of the
final success OF the movement.
All the points OF differences, ac-
cording to DR.. Lewis, were gone into,
and the members or the committee
felt that the new organization, which
will embrace the Methodist Episcopal
Church, the Methodist Episcopal Church
South and the Methodist Protestant
Church, will have to be different in
some respects from those now i'm ex-
istence. Every difference, he said,
yielded to the strong desire for union
on the part of the committee, and a
plan was finally adopted unanimously
by which it is believed tine union may
be accomplished.
THE result was q surprise to all"
DR.. Lewis said. I'VE expected that
several meetings would have to be
held before an agreement could be
reached. When the final adjourn
ment was taken the members of the
committee held an i,rpromptu thanks
giving meeting.
If the plan as drawn by the COM
mittee IL accepted by the Joint Com
mission or another agreed upon, it
will be submitted to the General Con-
ference OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church and the Methodist Protestant
Church, which will meet in May, 1912,
and the General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South,
which holds its next session in 1914"
The committee of nine, which ar
ranged the basis OF agreement, con-
sisted of Bishops Earl Cranston and
J. nj. Walden and DIR. r. IT. Miller,
from the Methodist Episcopal Church
Bishop E. E. Hess, Rev. F. H. Thomas
and Mr.. r. II. G.. Thomas, from the
Methodist Episcopal Church South,
and DR.. Lewis, Rev. NJ. L. Jennings
and Mr.. 8 r. Harris, OF the Methodist
Protestant Church.-Baltimore Sun.

swsttina the Flies.

The swat the hy" crusade has many sides In new Jersey village where large families are fashionable it is one means of amusing the chill dren. The mother Of six made an offer of five cents for every twenty flies demolished and presented in a basket as a voucher. The six or such of them as have reached an age to make them the equal of a fly in contest of strength, set to work and found that it did not take long 10 bag twenty. Frequent visits 10 the local toy shops on the part of this opulent family caused inquiry from their less prosperous playmates. When the secret or getting rich quick was told the other children went 10 their mothers and held them up with a similar proposition, which in every case met with acceptance. Prices have been regulated by trust of mothers so that the children are all paid alike. They get a premium Of an extra five cents when they have killed 100 flies.
