He also wants us to state that he, being rich, had intended to pay Mr. Graber for all the trouble and expense he had with his father, but now since the newspapers published the fact that his father died in the poor house and called it a shame on the children, including himself, he will not pay a cent.—Berne Witness. The young man named Williams who was arrested some time ago for fighting with Charles Philips, was rearrested this morning by Marshal Bohnke on account of his failure to pay what was due on his fine. He made satisfactory arrangements with Mayor Coffee and was given his release.

PLAIN STATEMENT — (Continued from Page 1.) out when I say that his message was “Be ye one.” Rev. Bay O. Miller. A.M., BJX, pastor of Christian church of Fort Wayne, was consulted and he suggested that a union meeting alternately in each I church, for a period of two months, at the end of said period of time, hold a meeting and settle the one all important question “which church shall go to the other?” I Third Step—Call a meeting of both ' congregations and earnestly and prayerfully consider the advisability of holding union services. Sunday. Oct. 6, 1907, a meeting was held in the Christian church. Nothing was said

about which church shall go to the other. We simply considered the advisability of holding a union meeting. I After spending an hour in considering the question, and after each member had been invited to speak before the gathering, the question was put bej fore the body and voted upon. I am ' pleased to say that the unanimous will of the people was in the affirmative. It is the wish of these two bodies that a union meeting be conducted for a period es two months or until they see fit to close the meeting and settle the question of which church shall go to the other. Fourth Step—Let us secure printed accounts, detailing the methods and means, put to use by other churches, that have passed through similar experiences. and be guided by the example set by our predecessors. During the time in which we are holding our union meeting, let us examine the doctrines of our respective churches, compare the same and reach an agreement or disagreement as the se may be. Fifth Step—After having examined the points of long contention, and when we feel that we are ready for a decision, let us call a meeting and decide upon the question “which church shall go to the other.” Now if each nterested party will kindly retain this schedule, and abide by it, I am sure that we will reach a decision. which shall be to the glory of God. Last Step—Let us conduct ourselves in such a manner that some day we shall be permitted to meet in that glorious city, wherein we shall not find many churches, but one church. Founded, and builded upon the love of God, shaded by the white night of the holy angles. May we meet there, and join hands in Christian love, and mingle our voices together in the sweet strains of “Praise God from whom all blessings flow.” There we shall sit i beneath the fountain of living waters, and as the cool days of sweet fellowship with Jesus fall upon our heated brows, we may listen to the song of God's hourly angels.

“On the other side of Jordan midst the green fields of Eden There Is rest for the weary there is rest for you.” At last we shall find that for which we have spent our lives in search — “rest unto our souls." May I add that with reference to consulting other men on the subject of interest the following have been invited to express their opinions: The Baptist “Observer,” a Baptist state paper. Greensburg, Indiana. Rev. C. F. Dame, Warren, Ind. Rev. J. A. Knowlton, Dunkirk, Ind. Rev. Chas. Watkins, Muncie, Ind. Rev. Holmes, Liberty Center, Ind. Dr. C. M. Carter, Muncie, Ind. Rev.
