CHURCH NOTES.

Rev. DR.. Tucker, president-elect Of
Dartmouth College, preached two
excellent discourses at the South
church on Sunday last. In the even
ing he spoke from John i: 22-"Who
art thou? What sayest thou of thy
self?" and upon this incident in
Johns career the speaker based some
interesting and convincing remarks
on the power Of self-dehnition; the
determination of the man to know
himself at the very roots of his
being, and, from the knowledge thus
gained, to define his duty. Reference
was made to the struggle in every
mans life-to the temptations OF the
unreal, the unworthy, and the i'm
possible, and the freedom with which
man can do his allotted work when,
having resisted these temptations,
he comes to know himself fully and
recognizes the line of action along
which he can achieve success. The
sermon was full of good points, and
was listened to and enjoyed by a
large audience, the congregation Of
the North church uniting in this
evening service.
Rev. w. E. Locke, who for 25
years past has been missionary in
Bulgaria, assisted in the morning
service at the North church on Sum
day, and in the afternoon he accom-
panied Rev. Mr.. Lamson to Sum-
merville and addressed that meeting
for few minutes, giving the congre-
cation some idea of the country and
the people among whom he and his
associates labored
Rev. c. w. Dockham of the Advent
church will speak at Summerville
next Sunday afternoon.
Thursday of last week was observ
. ed as Ascension day by the Catholic
, church. Bishop Michaud was pres
ent and confirmed a class of 81
children.

One Great Need of Farmers.
Savannah tGa.l News.l

Savannah tGa.l Newsl
The Importance of good roads is
not appreciated by farmers. They
do not seem to understand that one
of the great obstacles to their pros
perity is the almost impossible con-
dition of the highways. There are
comparatively few counties in the
whole country whose roads are not
neglected. People will not assist in
repairing roads if they can avoid
doing so, and, as rule, fair road
tax meets with decided opposition.
It is fact well worth noticing,
however, that whenever there are
good roads the farms have thrifty
appearance and the farmers are pros
porous.
Few farmers realize how great
the cost of bad roads is. They fail
to take into account the fact that it
would cost them a great deal less to
keep their wagons and harness in re-
pair and to feed their horses if the
roads were good, and the cost of
getting their products to market
would be much less. 1t is safe to
say that q farmer living five miles
from q market town would, if the
noad was q good one, be better off by
at least $500 a year than if the road
was bad. one. If every farmer living
along the road should put one hall
that sum on it for a few years it
would be an excellent road, and would
then cost almost nothing to keep in
repair.
A committee of the United States
Senate will, this summer, investigate
the condition Of agriculture and find
out, If possible, the causes for the
existing depression. The committee
should give special attention to the
highways. It will find, probably,
that the depression is greatest where
the roads are worst. Where the
roads are bad farmers are likely
to be much more discouraged than
where they are good, because there
are few things more likely to make a
farmer take hopeless view of the
future than bad roads.
In fact good roads are an indica-
ton of an advancing civilization
They mean that the people who live
among them and use them have
broader views of life and get more
out of it than those who are content
to struggle through mud, be jolted
over stones and in holes or snffoca-
ted by dust year in and year out.

The group of its contemporaries
which the Herald published yester-
day suggests nothing more signifi-
cant than the fact that peace and
good will prevails among them all.
This indicates q welcome departure
from old time journalism, and is to
be hailed as one of the most encour-
aging features of the metropolitan
journalism to-day. It is not many
years since the columns of our great
dailies were the common arena for
fierce gladiatorial contests between
the chiefs. Personal battles were
fought with unbridled animosity and
vim. Though this may have been
enjoyed by many readers who await
ed with keen interest the appearance
Of each successive attack or reply the
practice has, we are glad to note, died
out in the great New York dailies.-
Personal abuse of contemporaries
has ceased, and even contests over
principles, polices of measure are
waged with good nature and courtesy
ON both sides.
The Herald congratulates it's CO.
temporaries and the reading public
on the cordial feeling and friendly
spirit that now prevail. It reioices
i'll their prosperity and wishes for
each fair measure Of the popular
favor enjoyed by the Herald.-[ Nea0

Afraid of the People.

The speech Of Senator Hoar against
Tie election of United Senators by q
popular vote of the people would
drive him out of office i'll almost any
State except Massachusetts. Among
ether things he said:
II am not afraid to say to the Amer
ican people that 1t ID dangerous to
trust them with any great power of
government to their direct and ineon-
siderate control"
No doubt the Senator expressed
his honest views, and there are plenty
of other Republicans who agree with
him, but they dare not say SO. If it
is dangerous 10 trust the people with
any great power, then who should be
trustedP This is question that kings
and potentates could answer satisfac-
torily to themselves, but it is certain
ly beyond the conception of liberty
loving people.
The danger that Senator Hoar sees
in trustieg the people with direct
power in electing United States Sen
ators is that they would repudiate
men like himself. They would not
elect men to represent millionaires or
corporations alone. This is the only
danger to be apprehended from trust
ing the people with power, and no
matter what the Republican leaders
think, the day is near at hand when
United States Senators will be elected
by direct vote of the people. Then
there may not be so many millionaires
and corporation attorneys sent to the
Senate as at present, but the interests
of the country will not suffer.
