ROSE WRITES on THE SUBJECT Of The Suggested Union Of The ' Presbyterian, Congregational - And Methodist Churches. 5 News. Br fl Br, SAAT Bo length upon the ressons which demand | the closer union of the churches named, Supreme anwngst them is the clear a our Lord that faith in Leaching of ih Himself is. in some measure, condition believe in Him. 1 are, moreover, lesser reasons which emphasize the ob- ligaticn to unite the Christian forces which we are all professedly commit ted. One of these is the congested condition of affairs in many parts of older Canada. 'There are many 'vill ages and towns where the three - de nominations, are represented under conditions occasioning the obvious Jwaste of men and mosey, vnhappy J rivalries and jealousies, grave difficul: J ties in the administration of church discipline, the undaubted saciifice of vit v, and the loss of spiritual power, While this is the state of things in many portions of older Canada; the duty 'of providing church buildings ; pastors for the thousands who are crowding into newer Canada is inadequately discharged, end connot while densminational barriers remain, and present methods of administration continue. There is, furthermore, the sacred and uncheng- ing obligation resting upon the univep. sal church "to disciple all nations," an obligation which ix sadly interfered with by exist differences amongst the religious bodies that are secking to give effect to the Master's command. Apart fpom the reasons named chureh Union, a preparation for the Barer approach of the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational churches has been guietly but undoubtedly going forward within these denominations themselves. One sign of this prepara tion, all the more evidently providen- inistration and discipline. like Methodism in Canada has become her Presbyterian sister in the ad- ministration of her ecclesiastical - af- fairs. How unmistakably the spirit of independence, the note of Congrega: tionalism, has permeated the Preshy- terion and Methodist bodies, More im- portant still is the "somewhat rapid trinal rhibboleths. These have gone, never to return, The prevailiag logy is biblical rather than dogma tie, and is founded upon a wise torical study of Holy Seripture. This compels the disappearance of old time denominational theological trade: marks, and is the guarentee of true unity in the doctrine of the ehuich of to-morrow. A third sign of the pre paration. for closer union within these the existence of denominational problems, which are difficult of 'solution under present con- ditions, but which organic union will roadily solve. For éxample; the meth- od of the appointment of pastors and the duration of the pastoral term is unsatisfactory in all three churches. Union would compel and render com- paratively easy a rdadjustment now apparently beyond any of the denom- in their separate capacity. In Methodism, and perhaps in Presbyter- innism, there i= a distinct desire, in nigny quarters, for greater congrega tional freedom in matters indifferent. Many .Congregationalists would wel come something more of central con- trol. These dnd other problems wait upon "union for their solution. That we are coming to love one another more, gnd to appreciate each other's good works better, goes without say- ing. Thus if will be seen that calls from without, and movements and tenden cies. féom within, indieate the near approach, if not the actual arrival, of the psychological moment, when the Methodist, Congregational and Pres byterian churches will best meet their respective obligations to the Kingdom of Christ by sinking their denomina- | tional differences. and becoming one |_organie whole,: a united body, mov- ing forward to aggressive warfare against the powers of darkness. That such a consummation can be realized without serious and some- what protracted conferences; effort and sacrifice, nove but the ignorant will dream. This project for union may fail, as similar projects have failed. It is, therefore, worth while asking why similar efforts have not always sue ceeded inthe past. The rock upon which efforts after the union of Christian denominations have often split has been the mis- taken interpretation of union, or un- ity, in the terms of uniformity. This is an error which Nature constantly rebukes. The unity of the universe,-of the ocean, of the forest, is unity in diversity. So it must. be here. We must unite, not only upon what is common to all of us, but we must unite with an open-eyed recognition of and cheerful acquiescence in the things wherein we differ. We. must not seek to run our creeds into, gne formal mould. The unity of belief now existing amongst us is ample for unity of action, and further effort to bring about unity of verbal "expression will probably wreck the = Kopes of uhion how so ardently ghorished. ' Wo must not insist upon uniformity in methods of forms of worship amongst our congregations, The utmost congregational liberty epnsistent with a connexional system mist be assured, Uniformity means ultimate death, or feturn to old von ditions. Unity in diversity must he watchword. The great Roman church is dt onee a warning and an example in this par tivilar. In so far ax she has insjsted upon vhiformity, she has failed Where she might have succeeded. By com polling men to acospt creeds without investigation, and requiring all to as sent to the same crieds, she has pro" duced an type of mental life vasily re dognized. Iusistefice upon uniformity is" the pronounced weakness of 'he Latin church. But 8he happily some- times breaks from her own traditions lin this regard. In the existence of various societies and organizations within her fold, she! acts upon tae principle of wnity in diversity. this she is wise, and in the exercis od upon the Niaible, unity of those who |¥ the country in the holy conllict to for | tial because undesigned, is the grow- | methods of church | How | disePpeataice of theological and doc | theo | his- | Ia 1 supnlyv it on a month's trial.

Aloes will operate at five o'clock a. m. and sulphure at eleven o'clock.

How do you account for this? ow account for a Rheumatic per- son's ability to predict a coming storm 24 hours ahead, by the peculiar aches in his bones ? Rheumatism is simply uric acid in the blood. Can urié acid have its time limit, like. other chemicals, but re- fleeting backward like a barometer ? Uric Acid is due to a lack of Alka- line material in the blood. Thig acid absorbs the debris, or waste matter, of the system. It carries this waste matter into the blood, when there are not emough Al kaline elements (like salt or soda) to neutralize the uric acid, and to free the debris before it ~regches the kid- neys. As the blood circulates through the system, it then deposits small parti- | cles of this waste matter in the joints and muscles, These particles are like granulated sugar, or sand, and they grind be- tween the joints and muscles at every movement. This grinding causes intense pain and inflammation, frequently, If the disease be not checked, the inflamma- tion will cause the uric particles to be coated with a fleshy cushior, which in time grows to the joints as well. Then "bony joints" and crooked limbs ensue, The only way to cyre Rheumatism is to convert the acid 'condition of the Costume, Style 357A JRrticuiaty stylish costume MWikieneas blatsgand belt atlas nent, vest, leit and cuffs, capes piped with silk to match, new pleated skirt with silk piping.
