A story which has the most obvious
Of morals is told of certain public
man, a reader Of some eminence. He
is-and knows it-a man OF striking
personal appearance. He sometimes
trades upon his external charm and
gives the world credit for noticing him
when it is perhaps thinking Of entirely
different things. Moreover he fancIes
that his professional fame is a matter
OF worldwide import.
Not long ago he went to a manufac-
turning town, to lead in lecture course.
He arrived at the hotel somewhat early
in the day, went to his room ane re-
manned there for a time, and then,
on sudden thought, hurried down again
to the Office. With his most imposing
air he addressed the clerk.
"Ah, would you kindly see that I'm
not disturbed while I'm here?"
The clerk bent forward, slightly pug
zled, but still courteous. q
The townspeople, you know con-
tinued the guest, a little irritated at
his density. "If they know that I
am here, they will in all probability
want me to give them everything that
have, and as you know that is not
very much"

In the early ages of the church, wher

The ritual of worship OF this church
found in Germany more rational, ar
tistic and sublime than any other, and
have been familiar with all-Roman,
Greek, Russian, Jewish and Anglican.
Their service has all that is finest in
our Common Prayer, and with none
OF its repetitions. Also in the Hymn
Book Of this Norwegian American
Church I found splendid man-voiced
chorals-as superior to our own as the
latter are to the gospel songs.
In this desirable unity OF churches,
We must each surrender our inherited
ideas, and merge in one general spirit
OF Christianity that is even now COM
mon to all liberal churches. or course
latitude Of belief must be given in
the small unimportant questions, and
these should not prevent all from
joining in dignifed, uplifting public
worship, and music would form a bond
of union, for we all use the same
hymns. II the Protestant Churches
were thus united, it would result in
such power and preponderance that il
would constrain even our Catholic
brethren to abandon some Of the old
medieval ideas thta keep them aloof.
Also the entire abolition OF religious
bigptry would be OF immense adyan-
tage and would open the widest door
for the millennium.

The marching, since we left camp,
had been very hard, and our brigade

needlessly to exhaust the men. One

ment, so a circle OF propagandists
in the city OF New York sought to take
advantage OF it, but for their own ag-
grandizement. They went at 1t In
wholesale style; hired extravagant
apartments, appointed themselves as
directors, secretaries, ETC., and launch
ed forth in wild expenditures which
soon choked the movement and
brought il to a standstill. II seems
that when there is any great moral
wave for reform comes a lot Of old
barnacles ready to get upon it as hob
by and boost themselves into a well-paid
office for so doing, as in the prohibit
ton movement where we who really
want temperance are now overridden
by bot Of greedy fanatics.
But the great city is not the place
to start the church unity movement. II
must come from the smaller towns, and
then the usual cliques must forego
their small rivalries and prejudices, il
aught is to be accomplished. In a

Scotch Covenanters, then German Pala.

congenial heredity. Yet these prepos.

owners three suits are to be filed,

filed. They will cover the Grand

The principal objection made by
the property owners Is that the cost
OF building the new sewer system
IS excessive, causing what they term
IS an eXorbitant rate OF taxation.
the taxes being, in many cases,
more than the property involved is
worth. The property owners also
demand that the city pay for all

they should be taxed only for the
