CRISIS II THE CHURCH.

Rev. John A. MacCallum, of the
Walnut Street Presbyterian Church,
Philadelphia, scored the methods OF
many Protestant clergymen in an ad-
dress this week at the meeting OF
the Clerical Brotherhood, in the
Church House. Concerning denomi-
national rivalry, DR.. MacCallum said:
each OF the VARIOUS sccts places
its church buildings at strategic
points. considered only from its own
point of view. The result is that the
city is divided into series of over
tapping parishes. There is Presby-
terrain, a Protestant Episcopal, a
Lutheran, Congregational, Metho-
dist and Baptist Mp, each covering
the entire city, and ignoring all the
others, to say nothing of minor sects
which are more CT less local in their
Influence. The result is obvious.
There is steady rivalry between the
different groups. Yet there is al
WAYS the vast unchurched community
in the background. there are the i'm
migrants waiting in multitudes to be
amalgamated.
"But il is not to these that the
local church turns to fill its depleted
ranks. 1t seeks, rather, to eat up its
neighbors if it can The Weather
churches call the most attractive
preacher they can command and hire
the best singers and performers and
advertise through the community that
they have done so. They satisfy
themselves with the reflection that IN
adopting commercial methods they
are seeking the unchurched, but as
matter of fact they DO not care where
the congregation cores from"
DR.. MacCalum deplorcd the diVi-
sion Of the Christian church, but said
the hope of union Of the great Pro-
testant bodies was only theoretical,
because Of the unwiilingness OF any
one sect to lose its individuality.
Sectarianism, hcwcver, he said, was 4
dead issue.
The speaker >derlorcd the scarcity
of young men to study for the mini
stry. The easy, popular explanation
Of this hesitation,' he said. SIS that
i offers no financial prizes. The
weakness OF the church lies in the
Of its motive. Young men
e vision shrink from entering a
sphere CT action where much of their
cnergy will be spent in humiliating
competition in ringing doorbells with
less imaginative and equally fleet
footed rivals.

OLD GUARD AT THE MONUMENT.

Eighteen OF the members OF the
seven military companies Which left
the intersection Of Prince and Wash
ington streets early on the morning
of May "a, 1861, were in line at that
spot at the close of yesterday to par
ticipate in the annual memorial eX-
ercises. This was, however, fair
showing when it is remembered that
fifty-seven years have elapsed since
that memorable morn. The survivors
gathered in front or the monument
which bears the names of AleNan-
drians who offered up their lives for
the Southern Confederacy. Death has
naturally depleted the ranks OF those
who returned to their homes in 1860,
until at present but. a coporafs guard

none could more Clearly define his
ideals for the future OF Germany than
this utterance.
