BODIES COME TOGETHER

Great Churches?Discuss Method*

Spirit.
1 * iobnn in PVlof_
A iOIlg Step lias uecu iaacu in wuhi,tanooga,
Tenn., toward the organic
union of Methodism in America.
The Centenary Methodist EpisN'
copal Church, South, and the
Methodist Episcopal Church (Northern
branch) agreed to consolidate and
' build one great church, and be one
< people.
Both congregations are among the
strongest and most influential in
their respective branches of the denomination.
A meeting of interest to American
Methodism as a whole was held in
Chattanooga Thursday at noon. Twenty-five
representatives of each branch
of the church discussed the future of
Methodism, in a frank, fraternal way.
Members of these two churches,
which separated in 1845, on account
of political and ecclesiastical differences,
declared themselves one in
spirit, and, while recognizing loyalty
to their respective denominations, ev
ery speaker snowea mmseir in iavui
of a reunion of the Methodist femily
in America. John A. Patten and Bishop
William Anderson, both members
of the committee on organic union,
participated in the discussion. John
H. Race, president of Chattanooga
University, made a strong appeal for
union.
The joint conference committee of
the two Chattanooga churches, composed
of representatives from the
First Methodist Episcopal Church and
from Centenary Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, after consideration of
the returns of the two churches represented
in the conference, reached the
following conclusions.
1. The two churches are planted in
proximity to each other, each representing
its respective branch of the
denomination, and each undertaking
to occupy the most ladvantageous position
for serving its own constiuency.
They have grown side by side in numbers,
in influence and in strength, and
I the frhternal relations between the
' two have constantly grown and been
strengthened, until they have become
one in spirit.

3. To the end that unity of spirit
may come into unity or service, the
committee agreed that all fraternal
and kindly relations between the two
churches should be fostered by bring- I
ing the people together in religious
exercises, and by co-operating one
with the other in every good work. (
4. The site selected is an advantageous
and strategic location for our
common Methodism to occupy.
5. Confidently anticipating that the
Joint commission created by the respective
general conferences of Meth- |
odism will speedily formulate a plan
for uniflcatio nof all the Methodist 1
forces in America, we are agreed that 1
our plans for a new church building 1
should be held in abeyance as far as f
consistent with the interests involved 1
pending tne nnai aujusuneui in iue
whole problem by the constituted au- j
thorities of the churches.

We are so positive our remedy will t
completely relieve constipation, no c
matter how chronic it may be, that we 1
offer to furnish it free of all cost if it t
fails. ^
Constipation is caused by weakness
of the nerves and muscles of the large 1
intestines or descending colon. To t
expect a cure you must therefore t
tone up and strengthen these organs c
and restore them to healthier activity, c
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies i
on our guarantee. They are eaten like ?
candy, and are pacticu'arly Ideal for I
children. They act directly on the f
nerves and muscles of the bowels, J
They have a neutral action on the ^
other organs or glands. They do not 8
pi^rge or cause any inconvenience a
whatever. They will positively over- s
come chronic or habitua1 constipation v
and the myriads of associate or de- a
pendent chronic ailments. Try Rexall b
Orderlies at our risk. Two sizes, 10c.

lichmond Times^Dispatcb.
Last iJanuary, Anthony BurgeBS, an
>ld negro man, killed his son-in-law,
iown in Clarendon county, South Car>lina,
because he had treated his wife,
he old man's daughter, so cruelly that
ihe died. He fled the county and found
efuge in New York city, where he was
tpprehended last week and held by
he police for requisition by the South
Carolina authorities. Last Thursday
le was delivered to the sheriff of
Clarendon county, who was accompalied
by L. R. Mcintosh. When the old
legro saw Mcintosh, he was asked
vhether he was willing to go with th?
South Carolina officers, and sald:
"It's all right. I knows dat man,
cause I nussed him when he was a
>aby, and I knowed his father befo'
lim. They's gentlemen, an' I won't
)ut no gentlemen to bother on my ac:ount.
"I'll do anything they wants me to
io. I've made enough trouble now. I
'un away 'cause I was afraid of what
he nieeers down there might do to
ne. I wasn't afraid of the whites,
cause they's gentlemen. I'll go hack,
in' if they clear me, all right; an' if
hey don't?whj, that all right, too."
And Mcintosh slipped his arm
hrough that of Anthony, and said:
'Come along, Uncle Anthony."
To a reporter he said: "My father's
ast dollar will be spent, if need be, to
dear the old nigger."
This is the simple story told by the
sJew York World. And it was worth
elling, because it illustrates in a
striking way the relations between the
whites and blacks in the South; we
nean real whites and blacks that are
o be found nowhere else in the counry
except in the South. It is not to
>e expected that the yankees shall unlerstatid
the feeling that obtains beween
the old negroes in the South
itid their former masters; their deepseated
affection, their natural goodwill,
their disposition to help each
Mher in all times of sorrow and disiress.
Will "Uncle Anthony" be punished
for his offense? Not if the money of
the Me In toshes can prevent it, and
there is any way to save him from the
penalties of the law.
A white man who killed his son-inlaw
for (ruelty to his daughter would
not be punished, and Anthony Burgess
will doubtless be acquitted. His crime,
tiis flight, his arrest, his surrender, his
trial, are only incidents in a case
which brings out in sharp outline the
relations between the races in the
South.
