More Than Church Federation Needed

(Rutland Herald.)
An interesting detail of the recent
Methodist conference in Montpelier,
which, however, did not get into print
very prominently, was the statement
of Rev. w. a. Dawson, secretary and
superintendent of the state Baptist as
ISOLATION, that church federation for
evangelical work had been a failure in
rural communities.
He rather surprised the conference
by recommending that, instead of at
tempting to perpetuate three churches
through plan Of federation, two OF
the three withdraw from towns which
can only support one church and the
three societies unite in employing one
good pastor at a sufficient salary.
This is, of course, sound business
sense, but it is open to the usual OBJ
jections of g practical and sectarian
sort. society of Methodists could
hardly be expected to greet a plan
with enthusiasm which proposed the
retirement of their pastor and the re-
/ tention, say of a Baptist, to whose
support their society and a Congrega-
tional society would be expected to
contribute. The same thing applies to
the other societies involved, but there
Is absolutely no question regarding the
desirability of such a plan where it
can be worked out.
The Herald and other state news
papers have argued for years that
there were too many churches in Yer
mont that are insuffciently attended
and supported. Such churches are I'M
able to do efficient community work
or make sensible progress because of
the manner in which the various de-
nominations split up the religious pop
ulatlon of a small town and scatter
! their constructive efforts.
( If, as Mr.. Dawson states. the feder-
/ alton idea has proved a failure, it will
take more radical movement to
/ strengthen religious activities in the
rural towns, and if the plan of elimi-
mating one or two churches and com
/ bining societies into efficient units can
/ be worked out in some practical and
/ acceptable form, it would be a great
/ step in advance
1t is also interesting to note that
the creed barrier has been gradually
lowered by federation and other get
together movements, so that a merger
of church societies is much nearer a
practical possibility today than ever
before

The position which the British gov
eminent takes in answer to the protest
of the United States against interfer-
ence with the mails by the blockading
fleets of the allies appears to have
ample warrant under the terms of the
Hague convention. The British for
eign office gives this government very
positive assurances that ordinary first
class mail matter is subjected only to
the delays incident to careful investi-
cation of parcel post matter which ac-
companies it. The latter is apparent
ly very clearly defined by the terms
of the Hague agreement as merchan-
disc rather than mail matter, and sub
ject to the same scrutiny and seizure,
if found to be contraband, as goods
shipped in any other manner. First
class mail, the British officials assert,
IS left untouched and forwarded as
rapidly as possible to its destination.
Very plainly this country cannot
properly object to the rule of search
and seizure to which, in company with
other first class powers, including Ger
many, it agreed after careful consider
alton III 1907. That an article of mer-
chandise is dispatched by means of
the post instead of by other means
does not give TO it a freedom from
the accepted rules affecting contra
band. That is clear.

St. Johnsbury plans to observe the
l25th anniversary of the admission of
Vermont to the Union by an exposi-
tion of "Made in st. Johnsbury''
goods. This is a good idea and we re
commend it to other communities in
the state. 1t has proved an interest
ing and instructive feature the past
three years at the Valley Fair in Brat
tleboro, where a separate building was
erected to show outsiders what the
town produces.

Sour Grapes.
{ Rutland News.)

Brattleboro is making noise over
the fact that its postal receipts for
the year just closed exceeded the re
ceipts of the Rutland office, placing
that village in second place in this re-
spect in Vermont. The honor of pass
ing Rutland in any respect is worth
Dragging about, surely. 1t is net dis
closed as to just what class of mail
is responsible for this excess on Brat
tleboro s part, but it is not necessarily
due to the burdening of mails each
month with bills to Brattleboro resi-
dents, whereas the practise of paying
cash, obviating the mailing of bills
and statements, obtains in this city.
