fifth biennial convention Of the
General Synod of the Lutheran
Church held at Atchison, Kan, re-
Gently. He declared that a uni
versal Christian church in which
all Protestant sects shall be united
is the church Of the future, and
that rapid steps are being made
towards the accomplishment of
such an ideal. The Lutheran
Church, he said, with it's seventy
million members throughout the
world, and its broad standards,
seems best fitted to lead the Prot
estant churches to unity and the
evangelization of the world.
Many Protestant preachers are
obsessed with the idea of church
unity; but they are far from. be-
ing one in regard to the conditions
under which such union is pos
sible. Each one makes his own
church and it's teaching the cen
ter of the accretion to which all
other must be attracted in order
that there may be one Protestant
fold. The Lutheran Church is,
doubtless, as well equipped as any
other to impose its teaching and
polity upon the sects but, in the
present state of religious unrest,
there is not much likelihood that
it will realize the hope Of it's
leaders.
It is very difficult to believe
that any progress is being made
towards the realization of Chris
tian unity among the sects. Nor
do we look for it. Instead Of a
trend in this direction there is a
very noticeable tendency towards
an increase in the number Of de-
nominations. Instead of union
there is disunion, for, according
to the Protestant principle, each
individual is entitled to construct
a religious edifce for himself in
accordance with his own notion of
what is necessary for his spiritual
well-being. This paves the way
for the formation of as many
sects as there are individuals who
are able to impose their religious
views upon others. Nothing else
can be expected where there is
no Interchangeable doctrinal con-
tent, no universal code Of morals
based upon divine truth. No
church which minimizes the
teachings of Christ by not in
sisting that it's followers accept
them in their entirety, is fitted
to become the dominant church in
a world of warning sects. No
Protestant church can hope to
bring all of them into Christian
unity based on the acceptance of
every jot and little of revealed
truth; and in the absence of such
a foundation the idea Of church
unity must ever remain dream
incapable of being realized.
The Catholic Church alone
holds the key to the situation; and
there can be no Christian unity in
the fullest acceptance Of the term
until the sects recognize her as
the only divinely-constituted guar
dian and expounder of sacred
truth. The Catholic Church can
agree to no compromise; for she
can cede nothing to the demands
of Professionalism without forfeit
ing her right to be considered the
true church. Against her claims
to be the only authorized teacher
of religion, Professionalism has
warred for centuries, and there
is no indication at present that
this warfare will soon cease.
Until it does, and until Protest
ism recognizes the century-old
claims Of the Catholic Church
there can be no Christian unity
worthy of the name.

Alteration is law of our nature.
ALI our faculties must be employed in
turn-labor must interchange with
leisure, gravity with gaiety, thought
with diversion. There is no lesson
more needed than this one Of change.
The bow must first be bent before it
can be relaxed, and only by life of
useful industry in some direction can
anyone be made capable of real enjoy
ment.

HOPELESS.

The Baltimore Sun THINKS silence Is the best
method of dealing with Cole Blease, OF South
Carolina, saying:
The North Carolina editor who is trial for
declaring in his paper that "Bease should be
shot seems to be much of "blatherskite"
editorially the South Carolina governor is
officially. Blease will be shot full Of paper
bullets. generally known ballots, In due time.
But If he even more foolish than he is,
the press cannot afford to lower itself to his
level. The way TO get rid of Blease is to give
him plenty of rope, with the certainty that he
will be his executioper The more he talks
the better It is for South Carolina He ts an
object Of rdcule rather than Of serious invec
tive, and after little will be simply laughed
off the political stage as coarse and old fash
Toned mountebank.
That attacking Blease continually and calling
him names Ia worse than useless may be ad-
mitted, but the Sun is entirely too optimistic
in believing in the efficacy OF the silence cure
Blease may be given all the rope he wishes
and he will not hang himself. being entirely too
shrewd for that. 1t is our fear and belief that
South Carolina will be represented In the United
States senate two years hence by Coleman l.
