Ihp DepOpalatiOn or thu Country
Districts OF New England.

The decrease Of population among
the country towns of New England Is
startling. Railroads aud factories
have changed the ancient order OF
things The Palmer (Mass) JoHredt
says the population of the hills has
slid into the valleys, and with II the
wealth also Farms can now be
bought FOR less than what the build
ings are worth, while several farms
are Oftea merged into one, and briars
and brambles spring up where once
was the garden and the rose. Rev.
DR.. Gale, OF Berksh Re County, Mass,
in recent sermon, drew a gloomy
picture OF the decrease of pOpuatiOG
In that county. There are thirty
three Congregational churches in the
county, and only fourteen settled pas
tors. / q 1929 there we're twenty SIX
churches and twenty three pastors,
and the membership n forty years
/ has increased only thirty four. The
; Palmer Journal, above quoted, says:
In the last four years We have tray-
/ eied thousands OF miles among the
Z hili and mountain towns, trsaolng
/ their back roads and isS- ways,
whereyeT the remnant OF o1ce

! is surprised az the indication Of decay
witnessed at almost every mile. For
I long distances there are 10 human
I habltations. You pass the wreck OF
once elegant mansions, or the founda
tions where they stood. others are
( crumbling back to dust, the outside
I covering hardly keeping the c'ements
from reaching the inmates within.

aud once fruitful orchards, now moss

Occasionally, at the cross roads, may
be seen a dilapidated school house.
long since deserted by children and
teacher; aud oftentimes We have lrsy-
eied a half a day without seeing a
solitary human being, except as We
entered dwelling. 4 thiekly-tcn-
anted but sadly neglected burial

that there once dWelt among the hills
and mountains more numerous
