PUOPOSF.I) CHURCH UNITY
It is a singular thing thnt the great
Methodist Episcopal church should bo
the last body to make a formal move
for a closing up of the breach wh.ch
was caused by the secession move
ment which precipitated the civil war.
The two organizations nrc now
known as the Methodist Episcopal
church and the Methodist Episcopal
church, south.
Each organization has its own
board of bishops, general church- 'nsti
tulions, and holds its own go- val
conference.
Upon all matters of doctrine and
eclesinstic.il policy there is porfe'; u.
i;iccmcnt. The northern church has
its own work in southern field? "ait
this has never caused friction so far
as wo know.
From time to time a voice has been
raised in behalf of uniting of the two
branches of American Methc.isni. The
Methodist board of bishops took Ur
inal action for the- purpose of accom
plishing what is bound to bo a ('teat
event in church history. Bishop Ci.ms
Cranston declares that American
Methodism could never be the povon
tiality for world wide peace which it
ought to lie until it lias demonstra
ted to the world its Christian capacity
to forget a strife supposedly healed
for fifty years.
The Methodist Protestant and the
United Brethren churches have united
and the Congregationalist church is
contemplating entering this union.
Since minor differences of creed no
longer appeal strongly to religious
conviction, churches should unite for
economic administration and more ef
ficient organization. In Bandon wc
have the following churches: Presby
terian, M. IS., M. K. south, seventh
Day Adventist, First Day Adventist,
Episcopalian, Catholic, Latter Day
Saints, Baptist, and Christian Science
Bandon has as earnest and capable
ministers in charge of its churches as
can bo found in any church organiza
tion; still we fear the church's posi
tion in Bandon is not as strong as it
should be. Probaby the dispersion oi
energy among so many agents act
ing with so little co-operation is the
main contributing cause.
There is no vital difference among
many of the churches here that would
prevent thorn uniting and presenting
a compact, well financed, economically
run church. There is n lot of wr.ate
that could be stopped. We would like
to see a church trust or several of
them nnu for all evangelical church,
es and as many others as it would
take to unite for administrational
purposes such other churches as u
similarity of doctrine would allow.
A letter received by the Marslifleld
Moose lodge from the president of
the Panama-Pacific exposition states
that the Coos Bay concert band and
t.'io Coos county order of Moose will

70,000 members are expected to
march in parade.

Home at Pendleton and of His Trip
, From Bandon to That Point
To the llandon Recorder,
...D-" -r! oifsta'S but
the morning we left Bandon was as
beautiful as any one could ask for and
this beautiful weather continued all
through the trip. The Coquille river
made a picture well worth our while
to carry with us and the City of Co
quille, itself, seemed at its best.
Wo had left Bandon with the im
pression of great depression in the
country but the greater distance we
went from it the less we felt it and
the more w'c felt that other places
were not suffering so badly or else a
turn for the better was already mak
ing itself felt.
It is a difficult thing or at least 1
.hould imagine it to be almost nest
o an impossibility to tell any strang
er who might chance in the vicinity
of Coquille and its surroundings that
ini-d times had existed there. Such
BLUIUIJ v"""
-.inches bespeak only wealth and pros
perity as we saw all the way lrom
Coquille to Laird's ranch.
This trip was made very comfH
.;hly by a new eight cylinder Cadillac
nd the natural scenery was a pleas
ing accompaniment to the beautiful
farms, with farm houses and h.u-w,
ornnme'nts to any land. .
Evidently all things were to work
to one end and that was to cause us to
.-.vry with us pleasant memnripp.
...en our last meal in Coos Com- -could
not have been more delicious.
From Laird's we travelled through
that beautiful canyon of the Coast
ange, which finally introduced us to
the grand Umpqun valley beyond. Th
M mile ride was interesting between
(he foot of the mountain and Roso
I urg. A good acceptable bed was
Hie greatest luxury to be found tliat
night for we were weary travelers.
The next day gave promising orch
ards upon orchards of yoiinr- ruit
lreos with here and there hb of
.keep as we neared the oh'or ordmrt
.wintry. Our train was tho dai'y lo
:il so gave us ample time to f-ec all
hat lay before us. Portlc.-il, of
ourso was most pleasing for we have
.ilways had a warm admiration for
this city. Its trees made it a very
airy land with its fine summer weutb
r. The trip to the Dalles l-y tiw
teamer Gataert was good enough to
invite any Eastern friends or sight
tiers to attend and mnuy on board
,-ero there for the trip alone. At the
!ocks a photographer took pictures of
the steamer and in an hour and a hall
and tho same mounted and ready for
ale.
It seemed as if there was no end to
,he size of this monster river and still
t plowed on and on.
The state of Washington was prcr
iy all the way, keeping pace with the
Oregon side. For strawberries were
.ipe on both sides and we carried with
is many berry pickers bound for both
-.bores. A night train from the Dalles
ai ried us to Pendleton where we felt
unit" at home. A fc.v walks nbowt
town and we discovered that not only
many residences had been built in
the last three and a half year.! but

insane, which latter place is oxceedH
ingly extensive. Two no-. bridges,
paved streets and cement walks all go
to tell of the prosperity which East
ern Oregon at this point has foil thin
past year with the proniis-2 of t'o
finest of wheat crops.
The Pendleton Woolen mills are Mil
maintaining their past efficiency as
manufacturers of tho best good in
the United States.
The hand of one department of the,
large store here told mo that for a
year past each month had shown an
increase on the year proceeding in tho
taking in of cash. Business is fine
generally. Only two poor families
were reported during tho winter
months. But the most marked thing
about these people here is they got
vory busy and kept busy making huu-
i nous come their way. A new water I
system is also added to their credi: I
during the pant three years. Win n i

not been enlarged and remodeled. Now I

mi the Coos Bav bar. boarded lr and !
nSrated the ship, taking serclilight
lOmpnss, lifeboats, and other renu;T
.ilile valuables. They even stole the
clothing and other personal effects of
the crew and passengers. Tho good
book says something to the effect that
wheresoever the carrion is there will1
the eagles be gathered together. Bua
zards waiting for a creature to die be
fore commencing their gorging makco
wc half so despicable a spectacle as
men made in the image of their crea

women of their personal effects.

Jer. Sakett thereupon scattered some
grains of corn in his garden to onch
of which was attached a small placard
at the end of a string. They bore
such .legends as those: "I have just
been scratching in Sackott's yard."
'My owner does not feed mo enough
and I have to visit the neighbors."
When West saw those cards dangling
froci the bills of his hens he admitted
Saci;ett's proof was convincing.
Th-' dangerous condition of the Coos

the mishap that befel the gasoline
launch Standard, trying to rescue
a drum of oil. She had her rudder
torn off and projji Her broken and

her to shore in safety.

Vornon Prow, two baby boys who tied

in the priawinning but each baby en

the examining physicians and furnish

the strong and the weak points in
their children and b governed ac
