Arranging for World Conference

Thirty-five commissions have been
named to date to arrange for and con-
duct world conference on faith and
order that is expected to bring about
church unity OF the Anglican all of
the world known bodies in the United
states and Europe have named COM
missions. and also in China, Japan,
Australia. Tasmania and South Africa.
The same things are true of the Bap-
lists, the Disciples of Christ, Methodist.
Presbyterian and the Reformed
churches. One Lutheran body the gem
eral synod. the Moravians throughout
the world, the Congregational in the
United States and the old Catholic in
Europe
conference on unity has just been
held in Melbourne when seven bodies
We're represented. Presbyterian, Con-
gregational and Methodist churches
voted to unite as soon as possible,
Baptists and Disciples decided to form
a coalition. Hence from six bodies the
number seems likely to be reduced
to three. the Anglicans. the union of
the three just named and that of the
two named. Even farther steps have
been taken between these three. These
are that on and after 1921 all candi-
dates for the ministry shall be ordained
IN all ways. Being so they can work
in such religious body as they prefer
or can find opportunity.
Union is going on also in other d.
rections. All Methodists in New Zea-
land and in Australia have gotten to-
gether into respective general confer
ences. Presbyterians. Methodists and
Congregationalists in Canada are get
ting together. Presbyterians in this
country are trying to do so and depu
tations are going back and forth be-
tween half a dozen smaller bodies. No
body as yet pretends to say when the
world conference may be called II is
agreed. however. that much educational
work Is still to be done before it is
safe or expedient to call it.

Fears of higher water Wednesday
morning on account of the freshet in
the river proved groundless, for the
highest point reached by the flood was
Tuesday noon, and during Tuesday
night the water began to recede, so
that by Wednesday morning the water
in the lower river had fallen fully two
feet. The height of water on the
Kennebec dam, which at nightfall
Tuesday was seven feet, was falling
Wednesday morning and at noon had
dropped off nine inches. A o'clock
in the afternoon it had dropped about
a foot lower and was still falling and
all danger of further rise was consid-
cred past. While because of the large
amount of snow in the Moosehead
region high water In the river is ex-
pected for some time to come, a
freshet is not looked for unless a
heavy southeast rainstorm should put
IN an appearance. The Edwards mills,
which were shut down Tuesday on ac-
count of the freshet, were partly in
operation Wednesday and Agent
Stewart thought that the mills would
be in full operation this morning. 1t
is also expected that the Cushnoc
paper mill will resume operations this
morning.

RURLEIeH FOR WOMEN VOTING.
Maine Senator Out for Equal Suffrage
at Observation-Disclosures Is With
Him.

Senator Burleigh Of Maine, is identi-
flying himself in Washington with the
equal suffrage movement. He was
paired in favor of the constitutional
amendment when it was voted upon
in the Senate some time ago, but in
other ways he is indicating his sym
pathy with the cause of women who
want the ballot. This will not sur
prise some of his Maine friends, for it
will be remembered that soon after
his election by the state legislature he
announced that he favored woman
suffrage. But here the Maine senator
stands out nearly alone among the
New England Republicans in this re-
gard. He has a colleague and sup
porter. however, in Senator Gallinger
Of New Hampshire, with whom he
trains very closely in matters of SEN
ate egislation.--Washin corre-
