MAY KILL
THE UN?
Important Session to Be Hold
To-Morrow.
MOTION TO RECONSIDER
Lively Discussion Will Be Precipitated.
Decision May Cut In Both Directions
, and May Result In Withdrawal
of Some of the Merr.bors.
The Fehruary meeting of the Mlnlote
rial Union of-Richmond, which will be
held to-morrow morning in the parlors
of the Young JIen'3 Christian Associa?
tion, bld3 fair to develop into one of the
most Important in the history of tho
body. Whether or not the Union shall ln
tereot Itself In affairs not wholly and
entirely religious and devotional will
have to be decided, and upon the decis?
ion may hang the further existence of
the organization. Whichever way the
tide flows there may follow, as a re?
sult, the withdrawal of certain promi?
nent and Influential members.
THAT RESOLUTION.
At the last meeting of the Union, it
will be recalled, thero wae adopted, at
the Instance of the Rev. Dr. R. P. Kerr,
pnstor of tho First Prebytcrlan Church,
a resolution. providing that hereafter
unanimous, consent will have to be ob?
tained beforo there can be Introduced
upon the floor of the Union any matter
not strictly devotional In Its nature.
There -was some light manifestation
against that part of the paper requir?
ing unanimous action?which, in Its effect,
would practically exclude any outside
matters?but the resolution was finally
adopted without a d.sseritlng voice. The
effect of It was seen at once. One ot
the ministers arose and asked that the
Union send to the Council, which met ?
that night, some communication with
reference to tho Sunday horso^raclng.
Under the Kerr resolution just adopted
the matter could not even be admitted
to the floor.
Since this date there has been ?more
or less talk among the ministers about
the stand the Union has taken. And
now at the February meeting the matter
will come up again in a more lively shape
than ever. There is reason to believe
that the session to -morrow ( shall not
have proceeded far before there will be
made a motion to reconsider and rescind
the Kerr resolution. The movement may
come from the Methodist ranks, or from
the Baptists, or even some of the others.
Tne most marked dissatisfaction under
tne new ruling seems to exist amons the
Baptists and Methodists, several among
whom have been heard to express them?
selves in strong disfavor of tho resolution.
It Is reasonable to believe, therefore, that
'he ?proposition for a change will ?some
from them.
The mo-Ion will probably precipitate a
lively discussion, wn'ch may shake the
Union to its foundations. Sov.eral min?
isters have indicated their intention to
he prerent and sny a few things. Dr
J.' B. Hawthorne and others are opposed
to the resolution and they will all be
there.
CUTS BOTH WATS.
Those who stand by r?e Kerr re-solu
toin hold to the belief that the Union
was formed strictly for devotional pur?
poses and tha; it is in ^danger of dis?
organization as a result of Intermeddling
In affairs with which It has nothing to
do. Or. the other hand, it is believed by
the many who would rescind the reso?
lution that, the Unlcrn should properly
interest Itself1 in the moral side of cur?
rent and local affairs, and that it should
look after the community In a spiritual
way. Sabbath 'observance and so on, they
deo'.are. come within the function of the
Cnri--tian ministry and should engage the
attention of the Union, which will die of
?pathy and stupidity if it never does
anything.
Now both of the?e sides are strongly
represented and there is danger that
whichever way the decision goes it will
be oisa.strous. It the resolution Is re?
scinded -orne of tho^e who advocate the
principi* embodied in it may withdraw
their membership; It Is not. some oi
those who are opposing it may do e?.
Hence the tiring cuts In both directions.
"There may bo a compromhe," said
a. weii-known minister yesterday; "we
could elect a strong business committee
and provide that before any matter Is
admitted for discussion and action it
shall be referred to this committee. In
this way the business will be sifted- out
before It get3 to us. Such a. rulin?
should satisfy both sides. This Is. in
fact, already one of the laws of the
Union, but it ha3 been completely lg
noted. "

The Blooming Forth of the

forth?why it'll make you forget there ever Aas been

It's hard for an enthusiastic departmentmanager
to pick out a few tilings from his list?he's gener?
ally in love with all of them and it's doubly so with
these Spring fabrics.
We'll try a few, however, at the risk of slighting
some others equally as good :
