Tho recent denominational con- ! volitions hilve attracted unusually wide attention and their proceedings 1 have been significant ol' certain char acteristic influences ?ind changes. The General Assembly of tho ' Presbyterian church held at St, Louis ! gave an opportunity for testing iii" strength of tho movement to revise tho Calvinistic creed, a movement-1 that is backed by sonic of the must eloquent and influential men in tito church. While their efforts did not succeed they wen* recognized to tho extent that a cotmnittco of fifteen was appointed "to consider tlu* whole question and to make recom mendations to thc next Assembly after an ascertainment of the wishes ol* al thc Presbyteries.'" The sta tus ( ph o matter as disclosed nt St. Lou is thus stated by tho Chicago Tin- j*.Hornill : "As M. itter of fact, only :!7 out of a total of 195 Presbyteries asked for any change in tho creed, and none of the *>7 proscntcd any formu lated plan regarding revision or re statement of belief. It was obviously unfair and illogical to accept thc demands of one-sixth of thc Presby teries as the expressed wish of tho church. Of this number it is also significant that only eight ask for a revision, while li) ask for a new and shorter creed, one asks for a declara tory statement of belief, while nine ask for a committee lo consider the whole subject ami report to the next (lencrni Assembly." It is evident that the Presbyterian church is not ready for any chango, no maller how loud may lie the clamor of those who so earnestly de sire it, and unless there is a revolu tion of sentiment, it will lie some time before thc church gives up the stcrndo ctrine of predestination, ii' ever. The appointment of the com mittee was an amiable concession that will have a good effect in recon ciling conflicting elements whose differences might endanger tho use fulness of the church. lt is noteworthy that lhere was no | demand for revision at the Assembly ol" inc Southern Presbyterian church in Allanta. An individua! overture was presented requesting an Amend ment declaring that infants rue not damned to eternal punishment--that is, infants who die in infancy. We take it that the sentiment of Presby terians in the South is very accu rately represented by their aide and vigorous paper, the Southern Presby terian, which says on this poi nt in ils last issue : "Wc note that the individual overture to (lo- Assembly' asks an amendment declaring thal1 all infants ?lying in infancy aie elect.; While il is true the general opinion nf our church runs that way, still to make such a declaration w ould he to introduce nn element info thc con fessioil which Would l>e di Dieu 11 ol' biblical prooi. Pvt ra biblical ele ments arc not an advantage lo any eieed. Thc confession does ii"! declare that any infants arc damned and wo suppose the Southern Assem bly will hardly (hink it necessary at this late date to explain lo lite world that we do not believe in tho damna tion of infants." The Assembly expressed itself lo this offed in its notion on thc over ture and there does liol appear lo bo any such demand for a chango in tho creed as exist in the northern Asseio lily, under the leadership of Dr. I lil lis. The situation admits of tho observation that orthodoxy is moro general among Presbyterians in tho South than anywhere else ami that the samo condition prevails in other denominations. Tho conservai ism of the Southern people is shown in their religion as in all other spheres Ol life. There is now I) g.| exam ple of this to be lound in the con ditions in tho two great Methodist conferences, The General Conference of thc Methodist I-', pi seo pal church hold in Chicago has made IWO radical changes and has considered others liol less radical. This COU for Oil CC n prosonls tho largest Protestant ?ANT YO 3 now offering soi ghamsand Percales, t 5 cents per yard. 7e just received a Iii ig one for 1900. i of our 5-cent pack for 5 cents. body in tho country, exceeding in membership tho next largest, the Southern Baptists, by one million, and containing more members than the Northern and Southern Baptists put together, the Baptists being second to tho Methodist in member ship. According to Dr. Carroll's latest ligures, the Northern Metho dists now have a membership of 2,098,810, although thc church is now worried because its membership is not proportionately increasing. The first chango inaugurated by tho conference, representing this great body of Christians, is the ad mission of women as delegates to that body. After a hard fight, lay men wore admitted to equal repre sentation and now comes this vic tory for the church's most devoted and zealous workers, tho women, which was effected by amending thc organic law by changing tho word ..laymen" to "lay members" in defin ing tho eligibility of delegates. This action must bo ratified by a three fourths vote in tho Annual Confer enees bt 'ore it is effective, but its advocates profess to believe that its ratification is not doubtful. But still there is more startling inovation on the part of tho North ern Methodists. Thc conference has abolished tho time limit of pastorates, which have been a distinctive fea ture of Methodist polity since the days of ils founder, Wesley, win said : "We have found by long and constant experience that a frequent exchange of teachers is best. Thii preacher has one talent, that another X<? one whom I ever knev bas all the talents which are needful for beginning, continuing and per footing thc work of grace in a whoh congregation.' In tho earlier days of this conn try, tho itinerant system contribute?: in no small measure to the remarks ldc success and growth of thoMotho disis, but is it not so suitable fo largo cities and churches and it i doubtless for this reason that tin Northern Conference bas docidoi upon its abolition. Tho time linn of the pastorate was first six mon tin WC believe, and has boon graduall; extending to ono, two, th roo an< l hen live years. It was in I SHS tba the extension to five years was made Now thc conference has given tr thc time limit and a pastor may rc main on ".teharge" for lifo, if desi rei although tho appointments aro sti to bo made annually by tho Bisho presiding over the local conferenci Tho Bishops in their address state that under tho five years plan th .'tvcr.'igo length of the pastorates ha not been greatly increased and thu "only a small proportion of our pai tors romain in tho saine charge ft five yo irs." Accordingly they ri commended a return to the thn year limit of tho abolition of tl 1 imo limit altogether and the eoi terence chose tho latter. Tho limit in tho Methodist l?pisC< pal Church, South, is now four yeai and at present there does not seei lo be any probability of tho Soutl em Conference taking tho stop whit the Northern church has taken this matter. Nor is tho Southoi Conference likely soon to follow tl other changes made by the NortllOl body. In these matters, sonic critics pr fess Lo soe a chango in tho ossonti character of .Methodism. It is argui that "tho plain mooting house of tl past has given place to prctentio church architecture, and with th development have como in world tastes ami ambitions among t Methodists. They aro no longer 'peculiar people,' and the onthusif tic fervor which once marked th? de vol ional exercises is now regard as hoing had manners, VVesl would, hardly recognise them ( Mo th od i Sis--for tho grave and hui hlc-mindod people to whom rldict gave their designation because their plain and methodical mann of life."

Better churches, a more highly edu cated ministry and less demonstra tive worship characterize inodorn Methodism, it is true, but these aro not undesirable nor unworthy char acteristics. It is also true that tho old-fashioned earn]) meeting is largely a thing of tho past, oven in the South, but this is only a result of modern conditions and does not de note any declino of real religious fervor or a falling away from the faith of the fathers of Methodism.

Tho Kansas agricultural experi ment station at Manhattan has issued tho following : It is common among corn raisers to maintain or improve a given vari ety by selection of tho seed. Kins showing desirable characters are sot aside and furnish seed for the suc ceeding crop. Though not so con venient, this method can be applied with equal success to tho selection of seed wheat. The experiment sta tion at thc Kansas State Agricultu ral College is endeavoring to breed up improved varieties of wheat. There is no roason why the simple method of selection should *M>t be applied by the individual wheat raiser. Wo would advise the fol lowing procedure : Before harvest ing, tho grower should go into the wheat field and select a number of thc most desirable beads. The basis of selection depends upon thc wishes of the individual , but is carried on as in the ease of corn. Usually it will he upon the basis of yield and quality. In this ease tho hoads se lected should be large, well-formed and with plump, uniform grains. Thc. grain derived from these heads should bo grown upon a plot of ground under the most favorable conditions. Tho grain gathered from this plot furnishes tho seed for j the third year, lint, before harvest ing, a selection of suitable heads should be made from this for the next seed plot. In this way thc seed is each year improved or at least maintained at its present standard. The size of the seed plot depends upon thc total area of the wheat to bo grown. Furthermore, tho seed plot may be given mindi more care ful treatment than is applicable to the field. It. is best to have thc seed plot within the main Hold, so as to bc entirely surrounded by wheat. This lessens the loss from grasshop pers and other insects, and gives the plants better protection.

Interesting Statements of Fights-Insurgents Hoavy Losors-Albay Volcano. A gontloman in Walhalla haa just re ceived and handed TlIK CoUKIKll for publication tho following Icttor from tho Philippine Island?, written by an Ooo neo boy: AI.IIAY, P. I?, April 2, 1900.-1 write you a fow linea to lot you know that I am in the Philippine Islands. I enlisted in tho ll. S. army at Ashe ville, N. C., on tho 11th day of Septem ber, 181)1?, and wont from Miora to ('amp Mondo, l'a. Prom that time until tho 2d of Novem ber I waa in Camp Meade. On tho 2d of November wo left for New York, where wo arrived on tho 3d, and went on board thc transport Thomas, bound for Manila, P. I. The Thomas sailed on the .llb of November, stopping on tho way at Gibraltar, Malta, Port Said, Suez, Colombo and Singapore At theso ports 1 had tho privilogo of going ashore. Wc arrived at Manila on tho 22d of Decem ber, 1SU0. On Deccmhor 24th wo wont on board small boats, called ciscos, and wore taken up the Pasig river to a small vil lage, Tagwig by name. We woro quar tered in a largo church, and stayed thoro until tho 15tll of January. On that dato wo woro carried back to Manila, and boarded tho transport Hancock. The Hancock, with six other boats, including tho gunboats Nashville and Helena, pro ceeded to Sorsogon, a city on tho south eastern point of Luzon, a place wbero American soldiers had novor boen. We arrived there on January 21st and landed, the insurgents, about 125 in number, re treating without tiring a gun or taking their Hag. On tho evening of tho 2d tho excite ment began. Wo were ordered to bc ready in fifteen minutes to board a steamer and proceed to take the city of Legaspo, aided by tho gunboat Nash ville. Wo arrived tho next morning just af tor daybreak, and, as wo entered tho harbor, wc saw we were against the real thing. Tho insurgents began firing on us with rides and artillery. Thou the Nashville began hor great work, turning part of her guns on tho artillery and part on their trenches, then all you could iee was negroes and dirt. The in surgent force consisted of about 3,000 men, wadi armed. Wo made the landing in about two hours nuder a hoavy lire from thc trenches. The moment wc reached land tho boys charged with a yoi I, and in a few minutes nothing could be seen but American soldiers. We were then ordorod to take tho two in! ind towns of Albay and (Jaraga, willoh wo did after a sharp fight at each place. After we had succeeded in taking tho throe towns troops woro left to hold each placo. Our work now bogan. Wo had about 150 negroes to bury. We piled them in their own trenches and covered them with sand. In a few nights the insur gents that rotroatod under our fire re turned with strong reinforcements and binned the cities of Albay and (Jaraga, with the exception of tho churches in which wc woro quartered. The attack was made about tinco o'clock in the morning. Our troops did not leave the church, but tired out of the window A great many who were wounded and could not osoapo the flames were horri bly burned. The next morning an awful sight met I ..ur gaze. There were about 200 dead and burned negroes, some of thom nearly shot to pieces. Since that time wo have taken seven towns and cities, three of them being seaports. Nearly every town cost a hard light. (Jen. Powow, in command of the in surgents, seeing he could not light suc cessfully against thc A mei ?cans, came in and surrendered, stating that he had lost Si M ) men. Our loss was seven men killed and several wounded. At the present time ovorylhitlg is quiet, but there are more insurgents only a few miles from hero. About four miles from this town is the Volcano of Albay. lt was in eruption from March 1st to the 15th, and is still smoking. During the eruption it was a grand sight lo view, such as 1 never ex pect to see again. At night the volcano was, or looked to be, covered with lire and lava boiling hot, and the town was so full of ashes that no ono could hardly seo. lt was supposed to bo rather dan gerous, but tho lava did not reach the town, so no ono was hurt by tho orup* t ion.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Tho Democratio members of tho IIouso hold a caucus in tho hall of thc IIouso to-night to consider tho trust ques tion, which is to bo brought before tho IIouso during tho next three days and other subjeots of leg islation and party interest. The cau cus was attended by about eighty Democrats. Mr. McKao, of Arkan sas, acted as chairman, and Mr. Cum mings of Now York, secretary. At tho outset Mr. Richardson, of Tennes see, offered the following resolution oxprcssivo of the party's attitude: "Whereas, There is known to be a large and growing surplus in the treasury over and above tho neces sities of tho government arising from tho taxes levied and collected under thc war tax act of 1898, therefore, "Resolved, That wo favor thc re duction of tho taxes provided for in said bill and wo do not think the present session of Congress should adjourn until said taxes shall have been repealed as to certain articles and reduced as to others, until lhere is a total reduction in thc aggregate of at least 50 per centum. "Wc plcdgo ourselves at all times to support any measure or measures providing for such reduction." Mr. Levy, of Now York, offered a substitute, protesting against Con gressional adjournment until action has been taken to reduce or repeal tho war revenue taxes. Mr. Richardson supported his reso lution in a brief speech. Mr. Levy's substitute was thereupon deteated and the Richardson resolution adopted without division. Tho trust question was then taken up, Mr. Rall, of Texas, presenting resolutions favoring an adverse vote on thc anti-trust constitutional amendment, arid a favorable vote on tho Democratic anti-trust substitute bill. Thc resolution further pro vided that in thc event of the defeat of tho substitute, support would bo given to tho anti-trust bill as re ported. The resolutions brought out ex tended debate and considerable dif ference of opinion as to the manner of dealing with the trust issue. In thc course of tho discussion Mr. Sal mon, of New Jersey, intimated that without reference to the action of the caucus he would favor tho con stitutional amendment. The Demo cratic members of the Judiciary Committee, Messrs. Terry, DcAr mond, Lanham and others favored action along the lines of the Ball resolution. The Rall resolution was finally adopted, with minor amendments. As to the substitute anti-trust bill, thc resolution states: "Wo believe that tho adoption of these drastic provisions will dem onstrate thc power of Congress to destroy combinations, monopolies and thc construction of capital fa miliarly called trusts." Should thc substitute fail of adop tion, tho resolution then provides for supporting the anti-trust bill reported by tho majority. As to this mensuro the resolution says : "While not satisfactory to thc Democratic minority, and not likely to remedy thc trust evil, this bill does make an effort toward haras sing and outlawing these enemies of thc public and Democrats arc not willing to vote down any measure tending to that end." The resolution further urges Democrats to vote against tho consti tutional amendment unless it be so amended as to leave tho States unhampered in enacted anti trust laws. .-.- -? ? - Unless food is digested quickly it will ferment and irritate tho stomach.
