TIOKS TO HATE ONE PASTOR Social, Intellectual and Spiritual Center In one Edifice. (Enterprise Record Chieftain.) Three ot the four - Protestant churches In (Enterprise consolidated at a mass meeting of memberavheld on Sunday at the Baptist church. The fourth church the Baptist, ask ed another week to consider the mat ter, as the meeting at which It was discussed was not attended by a suf ficiently large rproportton of the membership to warrant final action. The united church ls to be known In the formal phase as the Federated Church Bodies of Enterprise. For all purposes of public worship and in all social and other undertakings however, It will be more than a fed eration. It will be an actual consol idation. . One pastor will serve the union church. He will hold services In the house of worship best suited for the purpose. If the Baptists unite with the others, their church probably will be used for the Sunday services, as It ls the newest, largest and most modern. The pastor will be selected with the view of utmost efficiency, and doctrinal differences will not be considered. The new plan' does not contem plate the withdrawal of the members from the several religious bodie with which they are now affiliated. In fact membership of individuals will be in these several churches rather than In the federation. New converts may elect with which o.' these churches they will affiliate, and the rites of that body will be observ ed, as to admission. Management and control of the now organization shall be vest?'! In a board of control consisting of three members from each of the constituent churches. There aie three churches now In the federation and the board will consist of nine members if the Baptists do not Join. If they do, the full board will uvc twelve members. The activities of the united church church, it Is expected, will cover much wider field than has been pos sible iwith the senerate congrega tions. Leaders in the movement, who nre very enthus'aalc over the suc cess of the plan thus far, look to see the big ehufch the center of social and intellectual life of the city, as well as the source of religious life. They plan concerts, entertainments of all sorts for old and youn. It is not '-niivoiv ti,at the exneiiment may i..oinn intn a fiillv eoumned insti tutional church . The Sunday Bchools, of course, will i! so be merged. The plan now Is t establish a graded school, one grade, meeting In efcch of the present church buildings, all under one general sup erintendent who shall b? assisted by sub-superintendents. i The churches which have vj'.ert un animously to join the federatht. are thn Presbyterian. Methodist ana the Disclnlcs. All lour ! churches, as ls the common exper ience in small citieB, have found It hard struegle to keep tneir organiz ations Intact and to support a pas tor, without energy or means enough left to attempt to enter new fields of uselul eudcuvor. At present one of the churches has a pastor, Rev. J. B. Astwood of the Presbyterian body. Mr. Astwood is one of the heartiest mpporters of the federation. The move for church unity had its start recently when leaders In three .if the conereKatlons now without pastors contemplated engaging . new ministers. The Presbyterians, al though having a pastor, shared In the common feeling that no one body was storng enough to maintain as effici ent a church as they would like. A meeting was held last Wednesday night In the Methodist church to dis cuss Informally the Idea of union. CtiOQSING A HOBBYT:' Make It One That Will fUlieve the Tension of Business. Writing ou the udvautage and enjoy ment tl)t a busy mun will derive from a bobby. Arnold Bennett says lu the Metropolitan: ' "In vbooxlng a detraction tbat Is to sny, In choosing a rival to his business be should eelevt eumu pursuit whose nature (infers as much us possible from the nature of bis business, and which will bring Into activity another side of bis character. If bin business ls monotonous, demanding care and solicitude mtlicr thun Irregular, ln teiiHe efforts of the brain, then let bis distraction be sucb as will make a powerful call upou his brain. But If on the other hand the course of his business runs In crises that string np tbe bralu to Its tightest strain, then let bis distraction be a foolish and merry one. ' ' "Many men fall Into tbe error of as suming that tbelr hobbles must be a dignified and serious as their voca tions, though surely the example of the greatest philosophers onght to have taught tbein better! They seem to Imagine that they should continu ally be Improving themselves In vltber body or mind. If they take up a sport It ls because tbe sitort may Improve their health. And If tbe hobby Is In tellectual it must needs be employed to Improve tbelr brain. "The fact Is thnt tbelr conception of self Improvement Is too narrow. In their restricted sense of the phrase they possibly don't need Improving, they possibly are already Improved to tbe point of being a nuisance to tbelr fellow creatures; possibly what they need ls worsening. In tbe broad and full sense of the phrase self Improve ment, a course of self worsening might Improve then, "1 have known men and everybody has known tueui wbo would approach nearer to perfection If they could only acquire a little carelessness, a little absentmlndednesa. a little tlloirlcnl- nes. a llttlo irrntinnni ana wranuie gaiety, a little unscrnpulonsness In tbe matter of the time of day. These con sltiorHtlons should be weighed before certain bobbies nre dlsmlrded as being unworthy of a iuttu man's notice. PICTURESQUE HAVANA. A Foreign City In Every Sense, With Its Own Odd Charm. Americans driving to their hotel through Hiimua'H narrow, noisy streets invnrinlilv exclaim Hint It seems to them "ns If they were nhrond." The question-to borrow a phrase 'from the widely tr:iveld but unemotional Mr BnejleUer-"necd not detain tbem Ions " They are abroad. Havana ls not mere ly "like u fcirelKii twu;" It Is a foreign towu. It bus its own odd look, Its sf ciul pk-turesqueness, its own tumultu ous life. It abounds In unknown dishes end strange fruits, and upou Hie hot tropic night It poms out half barbaric music and queer melancholy Bonus The long traditions of the Smntsn dominion of the tvo Americas still cling about Havana's fortresses and the palaces, churches and monasteries of her ancient si reels. She was a proud, rich city, the entrepot of the west, when our northern mainland was u wilderness. And now iu tbe Cilhnii twentieth ceutury she Is a crowded, thriving, gay metropolis, with her own pride, iu-r ow n tropic "Irs and graces, her own wholly mi-American Individu ality. She may be crowded In the brier winter seasou with American tourists, may contain (as Indeed she always has contaiiKHli a considerable Americas business colony und -may be a refuge for derelicts and vagabond straight from the pages of O. Heury. Iticliaiii larding Davis. and other Klpllngs of Spanish America. Still, she Is always the old Havana, tbe Cuban capital ot Cuba. Harrison Rhodes In Metropoli tan. Sir Humphry Davy.
