Current Church Inti.
Zion's Herald makes a plea for stiffen
ing the standard for admittance into the
Methodist ministry. Never in our his
tory, it says, was the demand for manly
and strong men for our pulpits so exact
ing and inexorable. The removal of the
time limit 1b falling most orushingly upon
the minister of mediocre abi.itles. He is
being driven inevitably to the wall. Noth
ing can save him from complete extinc
tion except unflagging effort on his part
in the line of self-culture and useful ac
tivity. The survival of the Attest is now
the unchangeable law with us. With these
facts so emphatically enforced before our
eyes, it is surely no time to accept weak
and inadequate candidates for our minis
try. Presiding elders should In every
case give the church the benefit of the
doubt. Much, very much, more than pie
ty and seal Is demanded In the candidate.
These qualities soon burn out If there Is
nothing left to feed and nourish them.
Discussing church union In England and
America, the New York Independent says:
Church union seems to be makng much
more rapid progress in England than in
this country. For a number of years
there has now been n definite confedera
tion of the free churches. This has work
ed admirably, and has brought the mem
bers of these churches into much closer
Intimacy and fellowship. The Indepen
dents, Presbyterians, Baptists and Wes
leyans include between them nearly all
the nonconformist churches, except the
Catholic, nnd they are all In the union.
This makes a strong confederation, near
ly as strong numerically as is the Estab
lished church, though lacking Its wealth
and prestige and titles. Yet It is no more
than a federation, and there is no good
reason why a yet closer union should not
be :r a de. This is what has now been pro
posed, amid great enthusiasm, at a con
ference of English independents and Bap
tists. Dr. Joseph Parker has urged In an
eloquent speech the union of Independents,
Baptists and Presbyterians, and It may
be that the time Is ripe for It. They do
some good things much foster In Great
Britain than we do here. It Is a matter
of great discredit to us that we have
been'so slow to follow the English lead In
federation. It seems strange that no one
appears ready to lake the lead In this
matter. The subject has been up In two
or three successive meetings of the Con
gregational triennial national council, but
nothing has been done beyond approving
the proposition generally. Nobody tries
to do anything. So we rejoice tn Dr. Jos
eph Parker's proposition to unite the
Presbyterians, Baptists and Independents
of Great Britain. It is by such unions,
taking In but two or three denominations
at a time, that larger union will begin.
This month the Presbyterians are to hold
their annual general assembly. Why
should they devote their best time to so
divisive a subject as creeds?

“BESSIE WILKES’ ” RECORD.
One or Two Other Fast One* on the
Thunderbolt Track.
Savannah. Ga.. May 18,-Editor Morn
ing News: X read with much pleasure in
the Morning News about Bessie Wilkes,
and note that you say "Mr. Stult's mare
has the mile harness record for Thunder
bolt.” This is a mistake. If I am not mls
taken-and I don't think I m-Palmetto
Prince, driven by “Gypsy” Haight, Paced
a mile on the Thunderbolt track, which
isn't so slow os some folks would like to
make it, in a heat race in 2:1744. Now
mind you a heat mile's time is different
from a trial. "Oakland Prince.” that
other famous and favorite harness horse,
and a natural born trotter, too. made a
mark at Thunderbolt, and in a race, too,
better than Bessie Wilke's.
The performances of the two Princes,
both of which were made in races, as all
the more creditable on that account.
I do not wish to detract from the preo
| tlge of Bessie Wilkes, who is a fine bred
and splendidly developed mare, or from
I her owner, but these are the facts.

at New Lodge informally for friendly
visit* and seldom were private theatri
cals or musleales given by her command
at Windsor Castle without Lieutenant

out as one of the most rlgldily exclusive
women of the late Queen's immediate
