There u now on the docket of the supreme court of Georgia an ec clesiastical case of faMflflchlng importance, elnce It has a direct bearing on the question of tho union of churches of the same or of nearly the same faith, which is one of tho marked tendencies of the time*. WHh the right or wrong of the local contention wo hare nothing to do. Bat tbs question reaches farther than the local Interact involved- The supe rior court has decided, practically, that the lately effected union betwee* the Cumberland Presbyterian ehureb and the Northern Presbyterian church was null and void and from that decision an appeal has been taken tu the supreme court. During the civil war, the Protestant Episcopal church and the Cumber land Presbyterian were practically the only ecclesiastical bodies, of any size, that were represented In both sections of the country thst held to gether. The Methodist and Baptist denominations bad already been spilt apart by the Issues out of which grew the war Itself. The Presbyterian denomination was split in twain. The United Presbyterian was disunited, the Southern branch being known ns the Associate Reformed. The Epis copal church was strongest In the North, but after the war the two liarta of the church came together and went along ss If nothing had hap pened. So did tha Cumberland, two-thirds in the South and one-tblrd In the North. With the revision of the Northern Confession thsre began a move ment for union between the Northern and the Cumberland Presbyterian churches. The assemblies of the two etuuches first agrsed to the plan of uolun and then the majority of the presbyterft-s, of both bodies. Last May, with considerable pomp and circumstance, the two assemblies, separated on doctrinal grounds for nearly a hundred years, came togeth er again. But thsre was left In the Cumberland church a strong minority that had opposed the union. Of course It was taay soon to bring up * case where property rights were Involved, whose decision would also decide the larger Issue as to whether the two churches, with somewhat differing creeds, had the legal right to unite, whether or not the protesting mi nority Is Jhe Cumberland church Itself, with a right to the control of the property. Of course we do not prejudge the case now before the learned court. But we suggest that the union of ecclesiastical bodies is, to us. one of the most beneficent movements of Christendom. In union Is strength. In sep aration there la weakness and waste. The Methodist bodies. North and South, have been approaching each other with the design of having one great Metbodlst organisation. So with the BapUit convent Ions, North and South. The various Presbyterian bodies of the country are preparing to unite In a rather loosely framed federation of churches, the Southern Presbyterian church being the last to decide the question, but by the votes already cast promising to decide It In favor of the federation, out of which a closer union may well grow. But the Cumberland church was di vided from the Presbyterian church not on sectional grounds at all. It claims nevsr to have been a sectional church. And the majority of Its members have apoken for union with a church of like faith and order. It may be well that the civil coorta, to which appeal has been taken. In this and other Instances, and the probability Is that the matter will reach the supreme court of the United Btatea In some form at last, will decide that the decfflbtr Is uul with them, that It hae already !* ecclesiastical courts of both churches and that the civil courts have no right lo go behind the returns but only to declare what the church courta have already decided. This was the decision of the supreme court or the United States In the famous Walnut Street church case. But what we started out to say was simply that from the layman's point of view the more unions of churches there are tha better, that the layman sometimes finds It hard to tell the difference between his church and some other church, that the best men In all the cbnrcbes stand to- gother In the community for right things and good measures, and learn to rely upon each other more than upon the weaker members of their own churches, that the tendency of the churches to minimise their differ ences and to exalt the essantlal and fundamental things on which they agree-teems to us to bo an essentially Christian tendency, and that we trust no legal obstacle wlU~bare _ td be fhrowh lfl the way of ■uch-wtsti'- dency, or, If that must be, that the legal obstacle may -be Itself removed by a better law. A GEORGIAN SHOWS US “THE WAY OUT.” If the school desk trust will only raise the price of setts to prohibitive figures. It will have the unanimous In dorsement of the Juvenile population of the country, at least. Dr. Goodchlld, of the Central Baptist church. New York, has found iu high- class vaudeville a means of attracting large crowds. Everybody except the ministers knew thst long, loug ago. A Milwaukee bachelor says that no woman has kissed him In the til years of his life, and "never will, so help mo God." If he’s escaped to that lale time In life, tha chances are a million to one that he won’t have to get po lice protection to keep the girls away from him. Aa artist who Is painting a portrait of President Roosevelt for the Peace Palace complains because the face of tha president is ao warlike. He says It Is Impossible to coax s lamblike ex pression. Try mentioning Bellamy 'Btorsr. and If thst don't work, sav Foraker." When we come to look for reasons for giving up the Philippine Is lands as a national possession we shall find them well and ably act forth by Judge James H. Blount, of Mason, to the mid-January number of The . North American Review.— - ~ - ' •_ There can be no two opinions sis to thrfact thaT Jtfdge Blounfr sr- tlde haa created a remarkable general Interest among thinking man throughout the country, and that It haa stamped him among the soundest thinkers and observers who have considered this serious and vital question of our colonial policies. The article In The Review has received wide comment and a remark able degree of approval among patriotic and thinking Americana. The New York Times and Evening Post give it elaborate editorial comment, and while The Times commends Its suggestive power. The Post openly and heartily Indorses ll. The Boston Herald halls Its suggestion as a "Way Out of a Serious National Difficulty." Andrew Carnegie gave his liersnnal check for $1,000 to have It published and distributed by the Fili pino I’rogTesa Association, and on Tuesday last Representative SlaVden, of Texas, to a speech to congress supporting Ua views, hid the entire arti cle sent to the clerk's desk and read, and afterwards Incorporated Into The Congressional Record as a pxrt*of hls remarks. It Is a matter of congratulation In Georgia that one of bar younger sons has demonstrated the research and ability to fairly lead the thought of the country upon this great question, and to furnish the "sinews of ar gument" for those who favor the treeing of the Philippines. Judge Blount's article to The Review has won mm a place among the publicists ot this era, and he Is henceforth a man of national distinction and repute. Judge Blount Is a lawyer at the Macon bar. He Is a son of that fa mous Georgia congressman who for so many years wss the Invincible representative of the Macon district, and one of tho distinct "powers" of the political era In which ho figured. The son was for fwo years an officer to the Philippines, and for four years a Judge of tha court of first lustanco In the Islands. He has been a diligent and profound student of conditions, aspirations, protests and possibilities of the Filipinos, and spoi\)tB therefore from personal Information and with authority. He finds the Islanders, saving and excepting only the office-holders drawing salaries, unanimously and passionately desirous of Independence. They are not satisfied with American rule or American Institutions, and In the opinion of Judge Blount they will nover he eontented this side of liberty, lie believes from a loug and patient observation of the people In the courts, at the bnr, among the Juries and in commercial pursuit and IHilltlcal relations that they are progressive and capable* of self-govern ment. He summarizes In convincing fashion the Increasing difficulties local and International which will compass our future relations with these Islands, and he proposes that three strong Americans who have had expe rience there and demonstrated wisdom and capacity shall be named by congress and the president as a commission lo promise the Filipinos their Independence In ten years, aud lo lend their whole power and Influence to the effort to help the native people establish a stable government "Within that time. "Judge Blount's article Is as timely as It Is able and convincing. The common sense view of this country, when honestly expressed In private or social gatherlnga rather than In guarded political utterance, fa In favor of letting tho Philippines go. Of course the dignity and humanity of the republic demands that this withdrawal shall be made with the highest consideration for the Island er's and with the wisest and most enlightened effort to conserve the fu ture welfare and happiness of tho people who have for a time been a part of our government. But the country Is anxious to be rid of the problem, the expense and Ihe menace of the Philippines. We are no logical prospect of either profit or glory or real success In assimilating these people Into our government. We see. too, with additional emphasis within Ihe past few mouths, the isisslbllltles of entanglement and strife with Japan ‘or tha future China over this Eastern archipelago, and the sober senso of the country believes that now Is the lime lo withdraw front a responsibility which promises to ■■C i. little profit or happiness, and It pregnant with so many -prognostics of dan ger end strife. . The Georgian prssented oa Saturday this view of the subject lo greater "detail. * tor today It la our desire to congratulate our fallow Georgian, Judge Blount, upon the thoughtful and noble article which haa won him such well-deserved plaudits, and to indorse moat heartily the poaltion which he baa token and bis reasons for the faith that Is In him. We believe that within three yean tha government will frame and ex ecute tor the Philippines an act granting their Independence along Hoes similar to thoee-propoead by Judge Blount. Aud we have something more than a speculative faith'that the breve and strenuous president of the United Statee will lead the movement thst looks to this wise sad prudent end.

Among those reso lutions was one offered by Dr. Nun- natty. Indorsing and encouraging and urging forward the Atlanta Anti-Sa loon League In Its local fight on the liquor traffic. Not a paper in the city has stated that fact, and yet It la a fact vital to the Intereets of Fulton county. Loukat the situation: Three mass meetings of Fulton coun ty citizens have said: "Call an elec tion;" and the last of these put the work In the hands of our local league. Now, the state league says to us: Go on: we are with you, and Indorse and approve.what you are doing." If "conservatism" Inclpdes In Its defini tion the notion of Carrying out faith fully the Instructions that we have re ceived, then we are conservative In that sense. But If conservatism mean* what the Republicans mean when they talk about thti revision of the tariff, or the trusts mean when they cry out to be let alone, or Invested capital means when It says: "We don’t want business forces disturbed,” or politics means when it says we can't allow this qusstlon to come In now and break up our party alignments, or any of these men or classes who would rather bear all the sin and shame and ruin constantly flowing from the liquor traffic than to have their own affairs slightly readjusted, then we are not now, and never will be, conservative. Beside* all this, let me say: The situation In our county Is such that we are obliged to make thle fight, even If we get defeated. No possible defeat can be ao disastrous now as a back down Would be. Mass meeting after mats masting has said "go on." The Evangelical Mlnlatere have eatd "go on." The State Anti-Saloon League saye "go on." But there rites up Hie strong, combined power ot tim dally pres* of Atlanta, which says: "Slop.” Much of her wealth and eome of her beat brains says "stop."
