OT LONdf SINCE V report was made of . some , measure of consolidation of three Protestant . church organizations in Pittsburg, composing many thousand membersrand while there.is no certainty that this particular movement wijl Je definitely snc- cessful, or that such consolidation's will become general among churches in the near future, it is evident that a large and influential , portion of various denominationa are earnestly iitrfavor of the Protestant churchea getting together and becoming far, more than now at least one rreat Christian bodv. rather than to such an extent as now msny separate and in some measure rival or even antagonistic sects. . : " v t On November 15-21 "next an inter-church conference on the question of federation will be held in New York,' and it is exoected that the federation movement will- then-de ceive a "notable Impetus.' . In this great convention there will be , delegates' chosen by .the general assemblies of more than 20 denominations, and it is believed by many eminent church leaders that it will mark the end of one stage t progress toward church unity and the beginning ot anotner. """ r- -..rt'.''-.,-;-..? r - - It ia not expected that all the churches will formally unite tinder one name, for practical churchmen recognize the fact that differentiation and division to some extent are inevitable among mortals with so many minds, re ligiously, but "it is thought and hoped that a large fl- gree ot fusion, witn resultant concentrations tnu n effectiveness of work may be effected. Splitting and se cession on non-essential points have resulted in grCati waste, and in weakness as well. One strong, harmonious church can do more and better work than two weak, dis cordant onesWhen we find on opposite sides of the. road two yttle white churches exactly alike except tnat the steeple is on the north side of one and on the south side of .the .other," -writes Edward ' E. Slosson in the Century Magazine, "we know they belong to the pro- tozean period of ecclesiastical development." : V . -' . ..The time for a movement toward church unity is favor able because of the growth of religious toleration and the decline of sectarian animosity. Less interest taken in-'doctrinalpoints and the verbiage of -creeds than formerly, and more importance Is attached to a"n intelligent,.- enlightened adaptatioBv of, the principles of Christianity to the people's life. Belief is not to be held unimportant, but character and conduct are to be con sidered more important. . : Many perceive that after all there is no greater difference t belief or practice, be tween two denominations than between individual Mem bers of the same, church.' .The objections and obstacles to union and harmony are discerned to be trivial and based on prejudices that mankind are freeing themselves, from more and more." . ,:,,: O. V; It is asserted by the advocates of federation, that its feasibility has been demonstrated, that unity does not in volve the sacrifice of diversity; and that cooperation is not antagonistic to fair competition. ; , - ; . This conference of churchmen will be attended and addressed by President Roosevelt," Justice Brewer, Jus tice Harlan and various college presidents, bishops ana eminent preacher, and it may reasonably be expected that these speakers will exert a. potent influence in favor of cooperation 'and fraternity, if. not of actual,' "f qrirfiM consolidation which, is for .the, present at least tmprac ticablc.

FEW. of the land, thieve who have robbed Ore- gdn of her rich , timber lands will be punished. -The great majority of them will escape scot free; owing to the bar of the statute of limitations. ' The lapse of three years without prosecution after the commission of the crime suffices to render the criminal immune, and it frequently happens that more than that time passes before the. evidence comes to light, which will justify legal action. , '.',;- V- -: ... - The period of limitation is too short In few states is the time so brief "within which lawbreakers may be brought to bar for their crimes.,' Some limitation, must be imposed for it is contrary to public policy to allow punishment to be indefinitely delayed." But a law which bars prosecutions after the lapse of only three years is an encouragement to such crimes as the stealing of pub- lie tanqs, tor in sucn cases aeiecnon rareiy comes until months or perhaps years have passed. .: The land grabber has been able to carry on his frauds with a reasonable, confidence that before the alow-moving machinery of the law could be set in motion against him the statu tewould have run and prosecution would be barred.
