Baltimore. Md, Dec. 3l.--Charles
W. Fairbanks, former Vice President
OF the United States, in an address
at the First Methodist Episcopal
church pleaded for the reunion Of
Methodiets of the South with those
of the North. Mr.. Fairbanks is one
of the fifty commissioners OF the
two churches in the city to work out
n plan OF union. All the others spoke
in churches and many of them re-
ferred TO the hope that the negotia-
tons would result in a real reunion
of forces.
1T is not my purpose to indulge
in doctrinal discussion said Mr..
Fairbanks. ITO unity the two larS-
er branches OF Methodism is task
that will engage my best efforts and

think Methodism will be greater bv

MIR. Fairbanks then told oil a'H
travels in heather lands and OF the
successful missionary work being car
ried on by the MethOdists. The di-
vision between North and South, he
said, was an embarrassment in such
work and he expressed the hope that
greater unity and fewer denomina-
tiops would result in the harmony
already apparent among Christians.
In speaking of Japan Mr.. Fairbanks
said that he saw no ground for the
fear that Japan would make war On
this country. In China and every
where in the Far East, he declared,
the missionaries had been the best
ambassadors OF America and had cu.-
tiyated a friendly feeling toward this
nation.

Charges. of border guardsmen that

women, was founded by Matthew Vas
Bar, wealthy Poughkeepsie brewer
Having accumulated a fortune, anG
being without children, Matthew Vas
sar decided to devote the greater part
of his wealth to the establishment Of
some public institution. 1t was at the
suggestion of his niece, Miss Booth, a
successful teacher of girls, that he was
induced to found a college for young
women, for which he gave $40S,0O0 ip
1861, and other sums aggregating as
much more before his death and by be-
quests. When Vassar was opened the
Institution was denounced by many
women and numerous clergymen, who
proved to their own satisfaction that a
college for women was an insult to
God One prominent woman said: "Of
one thing we may be sure-no refined
Christian mother will ever send her
daughters to Vassar college! The
mere fact that II is called college for
women is enough to condemn it," -
