Church Yesterday on "Forces Mak
ing for the Final Union of Catholics
nnd Protestants" Declared That
the New Theology That la "Unmis
takably Creeping Into the Churches
Is Leading Men to the Common
Ground on Which Christ Stood.
In All Shuls' UnlvemtllsiVcliurolt yes
terday Rev. Thomas H. Payne spoke on
the "Forces Milking for the Finn I
Union of Catholics ami Protestants."
lie said:
Taking for my tcl, today, there wunli
"That they all may bo onu" found In
that wonderful prnjcr of the Master'.",
1 want to usls, uml shall try to answer,
the question, "Ale tlicro any forces ut
work In our present civilization having a
tendency to hrlnp'tliQ two great wlng-i 1 1
tho Clnlsllnn chinch llnully together
Ufi-aln?"
It Is now about four hundml years
Klnco Martin Luther beiin that wonderful
movement In Germany that 1 exulted in
putting the Roman Catholic church hi
twain, For about a thousand yeatu pi lor
to that time, there had been practically,
Ijiit ono organized body of ChrKt In the
earth the church of Homo. Ah to the
methods by which tho church of Home
finally came to that commanding portion,
the student of history needs no instruc
tion. They uro beyond the range of our
Inquiry at this time. 1 will only say th.it.
1'or tho tlrst boven hiuulreil years of its
history, there was no more union in the
Clulstian church than thole la todnj, and
sumo might say, not halt' us much.
Might Be of One Mind.
It was Josus' desire that all those who
Should call themselves Ills disciples mlBht
bo of one mind, one heait, one spirit, one
fellowship. From the very llrst believers
on Hla namo kept that Ideal before them.
U'ho Ideal must forever lemaln a Brand
one. But the methods adopted by cur
tain of His followers to tceuro that deslr
nblo result "make tho blood run cold" us
one recalls them. As It has been In days
irono by, so it Is today, the constant
dream of Catholic nnd Protestant that,
tho timo muy come when "theie shall bo
ono fold and one shepherd."
A flood many intelligent and f.ir seeing
licoplc In both communions do not believe
that flay will ever sig.iln come, and pro
fess to bollcvo it undesirable. For myself,
.1 not only bcllove the dream beautiful,
lint its accomplishment desirable. Some,
timo in tho far distant future thero will
lo a union of nil Chilstlans, a union more
perfect than the old one, moio lasting
than tho old one. But that union will
boar no more resemblance to the union
the average Catholic and l'rotestant pic
tures than tho real Messiah did to tho die
tho Jews expected.
Tho union tho averago Catholic dreams
of is a union made pos.-lblo only when nil
'Protestants becomo Catholics, with tha
word "Catholic" written In still larger
letters. wnd tho union tho aivrago l'rot
estant dreams of Is a union made possiblo
ly the conversion of all Catholics to
Protestantism. In my humble opinion,
Fiich a union Is not only undesiiable, but
will nover come. Such dreams are but
prido-inllated balloons that can never go
very far or high. Time will prove them
what common sense today declares value
lets. The Desirable Union.
Tha only union of Christians that Is
tlrsirablo and practicable is a union
formed by both Catholic and rrotcstaut
moving out and away from the nrtlliclal
barriers each has erected nguin.st tho
other, and coming together on soma com
mon gi omul. Such common ground, some
whoro In God's Kingdom, there must be.
Indeed, raunot both Catholic ami Pro
testant today at least pee its edges. I be.
llovo so. Tho clay will come when it will
bo fully revealed to both. Of course, it
will come hard 'to tho Catholic to glvo
tip his. pupal lnfaliblllty, and somo other
artificially and artistically constructed
theological hedges; to tho Baptist to glvo
up his papal infallibility, and somo other
prayer book; tho Presbytci Ian his "live
points": tho Methodist his "free will" and
"saiietlllcntiou"; the Univcrsalist his
"universal Fatherhood of God." No; I
guess, the' TJnivfrsalist, must we not all
admit it? will have to bo allowed to
Keep tho corner stono of his faith.
Now, such a union, is n. beautiful
thing to contemplate, is it not? Why
(shouldn't it bo possible? To leallzc it, it,
It is only necessary for each denomination
to givo up the articles in its creed thai
Jesus had nothing to say about. Then
all will bo found to stand on tho things
lie emphasized. What wore they? Lovo
lor God nnd lovo for man; purity, duty,
heivice, sacrifice. Such a union is com
ing, dear friends. If you believe In God,
jou must believe It is coming.
.Forces Are at Work.
Can we seo any forces at work in tho
world today that aro bringing it nearer
to us? T believo wo can. Let mo briclly
jolnt them out to you,

WORKING AGAINST
THE CATTLE DISEASE
Dr. Salmon, Chief of United States
Bureau of Animal Industry,
Issues Statement.
By Exrluthc Wire fromflio Aiwcutcd Press.
Uoston, Dec. 2S. Dr. 13, K. Halnuin,
chief of the United States bureau of
animal industry, lias Issued a state
ment rcfjardlng the prosecution of the
work of exterminating the foot and
mouth disease, and (.'specially In answer
to tho efforts ot certain persons who
have systematically tried U work up a
sentiment against the killing ol the
herds affected. Ho says:
"We nro obliged to fare tho fact that
there aie only two courses to pursue.
Either the diseased animals must all bo
killed off uml the contagion stumped
out immediately, thus relieving the
state quarantine restrictions at the
earliest possiblo moment, or wo must
sit down and watch the disease and
try by quarantine, to prevent its spread
ing. "How long the quarantine would be
prolonged in that case, and how much
tho disease would spread, cannot pos
sibly be foretold. It is certain, how
ever, that everything which delays the
operations of killing and disinfection
will prolong the quarantine just to the
extent that such work is delayed, and
the $100,000 a day loss, more or less, to
the state will continue for a longer
period,
"At the present time 1,800 head of
cattlo have been slaughtered in .Massa
chusetts, and if the worlc goes on, as It
should, with continued en-operation
from the state otllcials and with a
friendly public; sentiment, all of tho
kriown infected herds should be killed
and disposed of within the next week or
ten days. There Is every reason to be
lieve that this will be accomplished."

''San Toy."
One ot the most delightful of musical
comedies is "San Toy," which was pre
sented at the Lyceum Saturday after
noon and night. It was seen by audi
ences that taxed tho capacity of the
house. The book of the comedy is
bright, the music inspiring and the
comedy discreet.
Miss Isabel Hall made a big hit as
San Toy. She is a charming young
woman with a. voice admirably suited
to the role she sings. Miss Nellie Lynch
as Dudley, the maid, and Samuel Col
lins as J.,1, carried the burden of the
comedy and did. it with an ease that
showed how truly they arc at home in
that line of work.
Hobart Smock, a fine manly looking
fellow with a robust, well trained bari
tone voice, sang the role of Captain
Bobby Preston. His "Tommy Atkins"
song was one of the hits of the per
formance. Other excellent members of
the company were George K. Fortescue
as Yen How, a. mandrlau; Surony Lam
bert as the emperor, and Miss Koran
Lambert as Poppy. Thu chorus was
made up of splendid voices. Few mu
sical comedies arc as richly costumed
as "San Toy."
Seats for "Tho Wilderness."
A very interesting member of
Charles Frohmnn's Empire Theater
company who appears la "The Wilder
ness" is Jits. W. G. Jones. She is sev-enty-tlireu
years of ago and her stago
experience covers nearly half a cen
tury. She has In her time played many
parts, ranging from Shakespeare's clas
sical heroines to characters In the
lighter forms of the drama. Another
estimable old actress in this company
Is Jlrs. Thomas Whlfferi. For years sho
has been associated with the best stock
companies, notably with Daniel Froh
mnn's Lyceum Theater company.
The dean of the male part of tho
company is that fine old actor, W. H.
Cronipton, whose polish and charming
method as a comedian might servo as n
very excellent and valuable example to
the younger members of the profession.
"Tho Wilderness" will bo tho attraction

specimens of Oriental Rugs.
The assortment includes Rugs suitable for Recep

Also the light weight Kiz Kilim, Sineh Kilim and
Cashmere Rugs which can be used for Portieres. There

A close observer of Oriental Rugs will undoubtedly
notice many peculiar marks and signs woven in them.
They represent "The Tree of Life,'' historical and zool
ogical emblems of antiquity. Nobody but these tireless
workers in sunken lands could produce such magnifi
cent combinations -of colors and such peculiar patterns,
They are not the inception of a moment, but in many
instances hereditary, handed down through countless
generations.
One Rug here is noticed particularly for its beauty.
Age has softened its colors until it has that rich, mellow
appearance. It is the Chichi Rug, and has seventeen
borders, and is unmatchable for designs and colors.
