COMMON honesty demands the election
of Fred Dubois to the senate from Idaho.
and We believe our neighbors to possess
more than common honesty. But for
Dubois there would be no senators to
elect from Idaho just yet.-S. L, Times.
Thank you for the compliment
contained in the above to the hon
esty of our people. But we fail to
see wherein common honesty or
any other honesty cuts any figure
in the election or non-election OF
Mr.. Dubois.

RELIGIOUS DECADENCE IN THE
VERMONT TOWNS.

The Rev c. H. Merrill, speaking of
the work of the Vermont Domestic
Missionary society at St. Johnsbury
on May II, as reported in the Gale
donian newspaper, made some re-
markable statements about the dest1-
tuition of churches in Vermont. "Of
the 1913 Congregational churches, 40
are without a pastor. Th1rty-hve
ministers supply two pulpIts each.
One-half the population never hear
religious discourse from one years
end to another, and these are not the
foreigners, for the priest looks after
them very carefully, but native-born
Yankees" That is to say that but
three-fifths of all the congregational
churches in the state are able and
willing wholly to maintain ministers,
the rest being obliged to share with
one another, or to do without, or to
depend upon the chances of mission
arv effort 1t must be observed that
the case is one not of simple destitu-
ton, but of decadence; the list is not
list of places where the Gospel is
not and never has been preached, but
of churches" now without pastors.
And what is even worse than this is
the statement that Though minute
gain is reported from the mission
statiOns) the 149 churches which do
still maintain ministers wholly or in
part are losing ground; the whole of
them show a net loss of seven in
membership during the year report
ed The cOmputation producing this
result of course includes the gains in
all the large towns and prosperous
parishes, and the gross decline among
the rural popula tion, therefore, which
oversets these gains and converts the
result into total net loss, must be |
enormous. When this journal first
called attention to the decay of re-
ligiOn in the back towns" the fit |
test treatment of the subject was
thought in some quarters to be by |
blank denial of the statements which |
we made after careful investiga ton.
That stage of the discussion is past,
but the stage at which a remedy
shall be produced seems still to be re-
mote New York Evening Post.

FIRE AND CYCLONE IN SIERRA.

Tomsk, the capital of western
Siberia, was recently visited stimuli
taneously by confagration and a
cyclone, the result of which was the
destruction of three-quarters of the
buildings and the loss of hundreds of
lives. The walls of the cathedral in
falling crushed an adjacent hospital,
burying the inmates who were con-
sequently roasted alive. The gar
rison brutally refused to render any
assistance in saving life or property !;
they must protect the barracks and
other government buildings, and add
ed that they had no time to assist
worthless exiles'' There was no
attempt at organized relief, which
would have averted much suffering.
The bishop and priests, however,
rendered what assistance they could.

IN MEMORY OF NEESIMA.

The alumni of the Doshisha, the
great Christian institution of learn
ing founded in Japan by the late
Joseph Hardy Neesima, are raising
$4,000 for a memorial hall to bear
his name The building will be used
for the theological department to
mark the special interest of DR.. Neesi-
ma in the evangelization of his coun-
try1nen. AS the sum proposed,
though large for these young men to
raise, is not sufficient to provide for
the theological students, already
numbering 80, and as the building
would compare unfavorably with the
other halls, the missionaries of the
American Board at Kyoto have ask
ed the friends of MIR. Neesima in this
country to aid in the erection of this
memorial hall 1t is hoped $4,000
in all may be received
