RELIGIOUS NEWS.

The Sunday-schOOl mass meeting
held st the Methodist Church yester-
day was one of interest and profit to
the church, though not largely at
tended. The meeting was eIninsntly
q laymSn's meeting, the euperintend-
ent, Geo. Childress, conducting it.
Speeches were made by several Of
the official Board and the audience
was impressed by the facts brought
out. 1t is refreshing tn hear the
laity speaking out from the pew side
of church work. The pulpit has q
say twice every Sunday, with q pray
er meeting talk put i'll on Wednesday
night for good measure. When lay
men have a meeting or their own the
preacher is apt to learn that there are
two sides to every question.
It developed in the discussion
ye-terday that the church has no
right to critIcise the conduct of her
children and the parental manage
ment, by which they have failed to
attain to religious life, without put
ting forth a helping hand to save
them. The church is to her child
rem mother. That motherhood
must yearn. The Sunday-school il
her cradle, the songs OF Zion her
lullaby. The mother away from
her nursery, and the Church away
from her Sunday-school,s shows q want
of maternal fidelity.
Statistics were produced to show
that apathy had characterized the
work Of the Church in the Sunday
school for several years. IL was
traced, to several causes. l. Conn
plant was made that certain people
felt that they were not able to dress
their children as they would like to
have them dressed to attend Sunday
school. The remedy for this is we'll
known to tho Church, and has been
practiced occasionally 2. 1t was
complained that parents who had to
work hard all the week were too tired
to attend Sunday-school. This may
be met by the statement that the
school ia made up of working people.
Hard workers-most of them. 8. 1t
was stated that many were enrolled
who did not attend. This indicated
that the school lacked cohesion. II
parents do not meet the highest in
the Sunday-school, which is to attend
aud become q working force in it,
yet send their children, which Is a
secondary obligation, and the school
by the morality and proficiency of it's
officers and teachers cannot hold
them and benefit them, then there
was ground for introspection, both as
to the school and the individual off,
GERS and teachers. This was answered
by the statement that the school
could not hold the pupils without the
moral support and personal interest
of the parents. The idea was then
that both school and par
ents owed an Opology to each other.
The school fol- lack of efficiency in
taking care of those who did attend,
and the parents for failing to go in
person and helping to carry on the
work for others which was being
carried on by others for them and
their children. The meeting closed
with an impression that good had
been accomplished; not by the meet
ing alone; but by the inaugural OF a
system of Sunday-school work which
being in the hands of and carried out
by the official Board of the Church as
we'll as the officers and teachers Of
the school, would bring gradual and
permanent growth.

of that was caused by the bad way
the most of it was shocked up. Some,
however, do not seem to think the
crops is damaged as much as they
first thought. Oats are also damaged

Squire Courtney, Bigbyville: II
think wheat is damaged about TWEEN
ty-five per cent. Oats are also DAM
aged considerably. Corn is fine"
J. r. Bauguss, Darks Mill: 81
don't think wheat is damaged more
than one-fourth. The trouble is we
are threshing it before it is well
dried.n
Squire Convey, Culleoka: "Our
wheat is not damaged much and l
don't believe any of the wheat is
damaged as much as the farmers at
first thought, or as some OF them now
think. / don't think it is damaged
around our way as much as fifteen
per cent"
Mai. Will Polk, Ashwood: ave
per cent. and that is chiefly from bad
Gaping, or rather bad management
of the shocks. Oats are good, corn
fine"
John Holder, Southport: II run a

out 5000 bushels in the Mccain and

not found wheat to be damaged over
one-twelfth, or about ten per cent CT

not SO bad as they think. A great
deal of sprouted wheat gets all right
when the sprout is knocked off by
the thresher. No; think when the
wheat is threshed out over the cOun-
ty it will not be damaged half as bad
as many believe"
Jasper Horn, Broadview: sour
wheat is damaged fully One-third. A
neighbor of mine threshed $40 bushels
and $50 of them were this outside

Jonas Amos, Bi0byville: II think
wheat is damaged twenty-five per
cent, oats worse"
J. w. Page, Goodwin: IAN wheat |
ia materially damaged where it has
not been properly handled. Oats is
nothing extra; corn is good; hay
good, but it has been damaged some |
by the rains"
J. L. Watson, Spring Hill: my
and farmers around me say /
the wheat is not damaged near as
bad as they first thought. / don't [
think now it is damaged as much as
