PROSPECT
BRIGHT FOR
CHURCH UNION

BALTIMORE. Nd. Dec. 2O.-The
Rev Dr. Lyman Davis. president Of
In general conference OF the Metho-
dlst Protestant church and as such
chairman of the commission ON
cf ch unions OF the Methodist Prot
esiant and the United Brethren
churches. said that ne sees bright
prospect for the cOnsummation of
thu union, which viii be perhaps the
biggest religious merger ever under
taken. Or. Davis was in Baltimore
this week to attend the meeting Of
the missionary society OF the church.
He said
Prospects Are Bright.
The prospects arc encouraging.
The sentiment for union is practi-
cally unanimous in a majority of
the conferences and overwhelmingly
strong throughout the whole denom-
lnation. The name chosen-u United
Protestant--is gaining favor daily.
The faculty and students of Adrian
College, Mich, passed resolutions
hailing the name with pleasure and
gratitude
"The students OF Westminster
Theological Seminary passed resolu-
tions indorsing the name as being
comprehensive and inspiring. The
omission of the name Methodist can
hardly surprise Methodist protestants
here or elsewhere or awaken opposi-
tiDn because the tri-church union,
which was almost consummated be-
tween the Methodist Protestant, the
United Brethren and Congregational
churches some years ago, had
adopted the name. United Churches
without the word Methodist and
therefor the commission of both
churches were somewhat prepared to
enter negotiations from that starting
point. and as the United Brethren
dropped the word Brethren they nat
urally thought they we're making
fully as much concession as we were
IA dropping the word Methodist.
Hopes All VIII Come In.
''The old commission included such
men as DR. Jennings of Pittsburgh
DR.. Lewis Of Westminster and Chan
cellor stephens OF Kansas City. and
if such men were willing at that
time TO drop the word Methodist
neither they nor those they represent
would oppose the omission of the
word Al this time. The full name
sounds cumbersome at first. but Dr
Lewis happily said Of the old name
which was about the same length
~ lie the full name would be used
sor business transactions. the firsl
three words would be used for al
Ordinary use

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT
HAS SEFFECTEDNOECONOMEES

No economies have been effected
by the Postofllce Department in the
past twelve years. according to the
charge made today in a statement is
sued by the railroads Of the country
The carriers claim that the only way
the annual deficit of the postofiice
Department has been reduced has
been by cutting down the amount
paid the railroads for hauling mail
Declaring that the entire burden Of
the annual postal deficit has been
placed upon the railroads of the
country, the statement Issued today
by the Committee on Railway Mail
Pay says.
During the ten years from 1901
to 1911 the Department took up an
enormous increase in business at a
greatly decreased cost for railway
transportation and at a largely in
creased cost for other purposes II
cost the Department, for purposes
other than railway transportation
nearly nlne-tenths Of S126. 24S,6 to
add that amount to It's gross receipts
(although for these other purposes il
had previously spent less than seven
tenths of It's gross receipts) while II
required less than one-tenth OF the
same sum to pay for the added rail-
way transportation that the new busi-
ness required although at the begin
ming of the period railway transpor-
tation had cost more than one-third
Of the gross receipts This startling
comparison fully warrants the con-
clusiOn that the power of Congress
and the department has been exor-
| cised TO force upon the railways, by
reducing the payments for their SER
vices, the burden not only Of the
effort to eliminate the annual postal
deficit but Of considerable increases
In other forms OF postal expenditure.

dienCe to Husbands

NEW YORK. Dec 20.-The fact that
the Bible represents God as man,
Christ as man and tho apostles as
men. besides commanding women to
obey their husbands. ls sufficient rea-
son why suffragists cannot accept the
Bible as divine inspiration, accord
ing 60 Mrs Laura G. HiNen Of Chica-
60 A statement issued by Mrs Hlxen
also sets out that woman cannot be
at once, a conscientious Christian and
asuifragist. because man monopolizes
the Bible and dominates the religion
trust
frhis statement was answered by
MISS Jessie Ashhy. a suffrage leader
and member of tie New York bar.
She pointed out the Importance OF
the female prophets in the Old Testa-
ment Mrs HiNens statement was
IN rart as follows:
1--WE cannot accept the Bible as a
divine inspiration, because it features
the male sex IN everything. almost to
the exclusion of the female Man has
usurped almost evrything IN religion,
as well as everything else. In the
Bible we know that God is represent
ed as a man. Christ as a man. the
apostles as men. and IN IL women are
commanded TO obey their husbands.
"Sufiraxists cannot accept the Bible
literally as divine inspiration. We
must see that II is written by men at
o time when women we're their chat
tells The position given women in
the Bible has kept them from their
rights as the equals of men, The
Bible needs revision Il is not up
TO date"
"One finds today in all countries
the siauuchest supporters OF the Bible
and IT'S creed lined up in behalf Of
the suffrage cause" said Miss Ash
ley However, teachings OF the
New Testament are, on the whole, at
variance with the present political
ideas In fact, It's doctrines are op-
posed TO the modern status Of politics
including the whole system in vogue
The Old Testament does not speal,
very definitely as to the position wo-
men occupied, but it does not by any
means helittle them. as has been
stated
Take some Of the great prophet
esses for instance Are there any
humans Of old times who were more
respected and TO whom more honor
IS accredited than to the wise seer
esses OF the Old Testament? Look
also, at the other famous women of
the Bible times They are many I'm
