B. Y. p. U. SCHOOL CLOSES.

With a mass meeting at 3 o'clock
last Sunday afternoon, the San An
tonic b. Y. p. U. training school con-
cluded a very successful weeks session.
From the point Of attendance, the
training school this year went above the
high water mark due to the fact that
the training school took in not only
the city union but the San Antonio
association as well.
Although the meeting opened with
an unusually large attendance, the
enrolment from the various Baptist
churches grew larger each evening
with most sf those enrolling continuing
through the course and taking the
examination, which is required before
they are considered as taking the study
course.
The following classes we've taught
during the week of the training school
with the following teachers in charge I:

TRY TO UNITE NIETHODIsTs.

Or, S. H. c. Burgin, pastor of the
Laurel Heights Methodist church, is
a member of the joint commission OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South
and the Methodist Episcopal Church,
North, that is in session in CINCINNATI,
Ohio. in an effort to formulate plans
for the unification of these two great
branches Of the Methodist church which
separated 70 years ago over the question
of slavery. Two attempts have prev
iously been made to bring about unfit
cation of the two branches, the first
plan having been presented some SIX
teen years ago, and a second plan re-
jected a few years later.
Since DR.. Burgin will be absent from
his pulpit at the Laurel Heights
church Sunday. the Rev. Caspar s.
Wright, presiding elder of the San
Antonio district conference, will oc-
cupy the pulpit.
Bishop Edwin T. Mouzon- Of Nash
vile, Tenn, has been selected to head
the commission representing the South.
ern branch. Bishop A. F. Mcdowell
of Washington, was elected chairman
of the commission representing the
Northern branch.
Preceding the opening Of the series
Of Joint conferences Thursday, the two
commissions met separately to consider
plans to be presented at the joint con-
ferences.
At the Joint conference Thursday
evening, the Northern Methodist CON-
mission presented a plan in which it
suggested that the two respective gen.
eral conferences Of the church declare
themselves united; that a vote be taken
by the two representations and that a
majority Of each representation be re
quired; and that legal ratification Of
every act by a validating resolution on
the part of each division be provided.
The answer filed by the Southern
Methodist commission, declared that no
declaration of union would be practi.
cable without some plan Of union be-
| ing formulated or adopted. -.
| As a result of the plan presented
by the Northern branch and the answer
| filed by the Southern branch, COM
mittee Of ten was selected equally from
the two divisions of the joint commits
sion. This committee was instructed
to agree on basic principles of the
agreement to be reached by the Joint
commission.
Should the committee of ten reach
the agreement desired, it is believed
that the union of the two branches OF
the Methodist church, will have a
/! greater possibility, of retaliation than
1T has had since the Civil War days.

In Church Circles

set for the breaking of ground for the
new churches, it is believed by members
of the central committee that the en-
tire work will be well under way By
summer.
1t has been pointed out by members
of the central committee that there are
many members of the Southern Pres
byterian denomination in the vicinity
of San Antonio, who have no convent.
ent place to worship with others of
their own faith. Southern Presbyterian
pastors and the leading lay members
of their congregation have decided that
the funds now in the hands of the
council could be diverted to no better
channel than that which will provide
for the needs of Southern Presbyterians
on the outskirts of the city.

backs up his intention with a little

goes after if it is within reason.
Mr.. Hillquit suggests as a further
reason for American failure to en-

been too recent and capitalism too

pressed? In the fact that wages, even
of the commonest labor have been

Socialism in America has tough
luck. 1t tries to plant class conscious

up the seed. 1t points to that old de-

disposed to stick TO their jobs and
that II would also induce miners to
