From Outing

Notwithstanding the nature takers
who write wonderfully unsound nat
ural history. the heron does not spear
prey with its bill (nor does the loon)
1t bites them, nips them between the
long, sharp mandibles. We have had
captive herons and have seen thousands
of wild ones all over this continent,
and they do not do the silly trash told
of them by the nature takers.
Some of the nests are as big as a
small haystack. built upon year after
year until they reach enormous
weights. very often up to 500 pounds.

In the course of an address on
church unity the Rev DR.. John Scrim-

denounced Unitarianism as a creed
that has ever proved fatal to spiritual
life in general"
Church Unity Possible
Despite this criticism DIR. Scrimger
insisted that church unity is not only
possible, but very likely to come about.
He declared that even without the
high church" sects of Unitarianism
church unity would come because "the
great mass of Professionalism still
marches within the evangelical lines,
including the Presbyterian, Meth odist.
Congregational and Baptist Churches
Of almost all shades likewise the laity,
If not the clergy, of the Episcopal and
Lutheran Churches in both worlds"
DR.. Scrimger concluded: THE pres
ent condition of Christendom is some
thing of a scandal owing to its di-
