MEMORIAL DAY PLANS. Considered by Sedgwick Post-Some Departures from Former Customs.

Friday evenings meeting of Sedg- wick post, No. 1. G. A. R., held at the Buckingham Memorial, was de- voted to a discussion of plans for the observance of Memorial day. Several members of Sedgwick camp, Sons of Veterans, were present and expressed their willingness to assist in arrang- ing for the days programme. The ious phases of the work have not as yet been completed.
 There will be no definite speakers assigned to the schools this year, but several will probably respond to in vitations of school principals. An other departure from the custom of past years will be found in the fact that the cemeteries of outlying towns will not be decorated by the local post this year The selectmen of the var ious towns will be requested to see that the graves of their soldier dead are suitably decorated,

MANTEO STILL
HAS STEAM Up,

VESSEL ABOUT WHICH THERE
HAS BEEN MUCH TALK IN CON-
NEcTIoN WITH FiLIBusTERING,
is AT PANAMA CITY.

With steam up, supplies aboard and
ready to depart within an hours time,
the steamer Manteo In moored at Pan
anna City. apparently awaiting orders
from her owners. The fact that the
steamer has been in readiness to put
to sea for two weeks has caused much
speculation. especially when she was
recently connected with a story to the
effect that Cfpriano Castro. deposed
ruler Of Venezuela, is preparing an
other revolutionary expedition into
that country and had secured the
Manteo for hlfbustering purposes.
Parties leaving Panama City Satur-
day night said that the steamer was
there when they departed and that no
move had been made towards making
o departure. although she is held in
readiness.
The Manteo formerly piled between
Panama City Pensacola and Mobile.
and was retired from this trade nearly
a year ago. since which time she has
been moored at Panama City. Two
or three weeks ago statement was
made that she had been sold to a
steamship line and would be placed On
leans. Tt was then that she was made
ready for sea, and about that time IT
was rurnored that Castro had secured
the vessel.
Nothing further has been heard OF
the movement. but the fact that the
steamer keeps up steam and ts fully
provisioned has caused considerable
speculation. III

So often in the past controversy has
been bitter and sectarian and intoler-
ant It seems to conflict with the evil
dent purpose of unity in the gospel
and the churches, falling in the first
clause Of the text, the world Is con-
fused as intina ted in the second part
Of the text, shat the world may be-
lieve." It is charged that Protestant
ism is the mother OF infidelity. That
this babel of creeds has made men
skeptical and kept them for accept
ing Christianity at all. It is not an
uncommon excuse for not confessing
Christ, 'I do not understand the be-
liefs of the different denominations"
2. Another hindrance to the world
wide sweep OF Christianity, Is said 70
be, that it is expensive to maintain so
many sects. The aim being identical,
1t is often unwise to have four or
five churches in a town where the pop
ulation would ill only one. This his
cogency when we know that there are
so many places at home and abroad
without any churches at all.
Where IL Helps.
Denominationalisn1 is losing it's sec
tarianism. In honor preferring one
another" is a maxim now applied
more widely than heretofore Form
expended in opposing each others the
ology. This exhausted them, and neg
lect Of practical Christianity followed
in consequence. But a change has
taken place for the better.
This change being admitted. is there
not unity in spite of lack OF uniform
ity? Union would seem to many to
be the only real unity, but is that the
unity about which Christ prayed? Is
there not a uniformity which Is not
unity? An army can be IN perfect &C.
cord with different coiors. regiments,
and uniforms.
Voitaire claimed sneeringly that
there was no sect in geometry. rnathe-

but he was mistaken. There are war

would 1t be better to dissolve all de-

q unity more vital than such union
would be? 'E pluribus unum' is the

many. Is there not a sure rhythm
above the warning elements of the
storm? Can men not agree in essen
tails and let opinions abide? Yea.
they do agree in their great facts Of
life, and Of religion.
Denominationalism may be a most
practical way OF provoking one an
other to good works. Even I'm a small
town where there seems to be no room
for two or more, what Improvement
