Enr Ininn Of Chnrches.

What would 1t mean to Modesto to
have her churches united? was asked
j. F.Holley, Kansas City, giving Sc
ries of lectures on the present day
agitation for Christian Union"
There would be value, he said,
from every viewpoint, but especial
ly from that of the economic, l am
reliably informed that you have at
least 10 churches here which are
easily valued at $175,OOO; that for
pastors salaries you are paying some
$4,000 per year. If then all other
expenses are about $4,000, it is cost
ing $4,000 annually to keep the
doors of the church open besides the
interest on the great investment in
properties"
Now then" Mr.. Holley contin-
ued, "If Modesto had one great con-
gregation of Christian people, they
could have a magnificent building
worth 100000 and $4,000 endow-
ment. They could pay one great
minister and an assistant $4,000 and
thus save $4,000 every year. Add
to this the interest on the endowment
$4,000 and you yill be surprised to
see the handsome sum of $19, 500
which this little town is spending on
keeping up their church divisions.
aside from such a merger bring
ing this city great cathedral in
which to meet a beautiful fellow
ship, an array of musical talent, a
great minister, etc., the financial
gain would solve the problem of
Christian education, the poor, and all
ethical questions, or it would send to
mission fields a band of 80 Giving
link" missionaries from this one
town alone"
Besides all this" added Mr.. Hol-
ley, 81 expect to prove abundantly in
tonight's lecture that the devil gets
as many because the church is di-
vided as he does because the saloon
exists"

ELECTION GRAFT.

The Auxvasse Review complains
that it cost Galloway county $2,76O.
81 to hold her election in the year
1914, and it calls it graft.
The Fulton papers grabbed about
all this pie and the outside papers
were not even given show to bid on
the work.
1t was about the same here in Au-
drain, Herr Hook. But don't be too
severe on the members of the County
Court. A certain part of it is or
dered by the County Clerk "by and
with the consent of the County
Court. The latter point is the only
place where the members of our
County Court are blamable-they
can surely refuse to pay
bills when the Clerk fails to consult
them as to where certain work shall
go and what shall be paid for it.
The taxpayers are demanding this
action on the part of the Court in
this county for the future, too.
AS to the printing of the Constitu-
tional Amendments, that is entirely
in the hands of the man of "13 rea-
ons" over at Jefferson City. To use
schoolboy language che has his pets"
and must favor them. But, as the
Mokane Herald puts it, Connie will
be a dead Roach politically after his
present term of office expires; he's
going to be buried. Kelly Pool will
do better with the peoples money
and, can we hope, ALL the news
papers will get justice.

NOTES AND COMMENT.

It is so easy to make children hap
by, 80 easy to make them miserable.
Childrens' laughter and the sight of
their happy faces is good to see, and
when they come down the road or
street to NEE" dad" know they are
glad to see him return. A man of
the type outlined above will not have
children longer than they can help,
nor will their memories of boyhood
days have power to draw the tear of
regret. Be good to the children.

Yes, my dear ~. B. S." in the old
days we were unduly careful to des-
ignate which Methodist church. We
are glad the Lord made us, however,
so that added years give clearer
judgment. Added years also help to
obliterate war prejudice, and the
Blue and the Gray are, and should
be, equally honored in all Decoration
Day observances. Today in Mexico
there is but one (white) Methodist
church, and any further designation
is superfluous, except perhaps to
designate conference matters. The
question today is, not whether our
churces are NJ. E. or South or just
Methodist-but are we Christ-like.
