Wells, Amos Russell. That they all may be one. [**]75c. Funk.
A plea that Christ’s wish that “His followers might be kept from schism, and that His church might be maintained in perfect unity,” may be realized in the unification of denominations. To this end the author advocates union Bible schools and pastorates, and under such chapter headings as, Working together; The search for truth; Churches and men; Church union and patriotism, he finally arrives at, The united church of Christ.

Wells, Carolyn. [Dorrance domain; a story.] [†]$1.50. Wilde.
Four energetic Dorrances left to the care of their Grandmother Dorrance once wealthy, now skilfully supporting a large family on a small annuity, bemoan their boarding house existence which seems an unbearable hardship after the free life in their Fifty-eighth street home. A part of the Grandfather’s legacy was the Dorrance domain, a rambling summer hotel, which was not easily disposed of and which these daring children propose opening and running for a season. The success of their scheme and the enjoyment which the novel experiment afforded them are told in Miss Wells’ usual sprightly and humorous manner.
