Church Note.

A correspondent of the Pearys-
burg Viry1nian writes to that jour
nal in terms of high praise, and
the clipping has been sent us by a
mutual friend at Salem:
1t is very painful announcement
to make that Rev. j. W. Butler,
the pastor of the Lutheran church
of Newport, has severed his connec-
ton With it, and will, by the last of
this month, remove to Oakland,
Maryland, where he has accepted a
call. Mr.. Butler has been with us
a little more than year, and III
that short period Of time has COM
pletely won the confidence and cs-
TEEN Of all who have become ac-
quainted with him; and it is with
the deepest regret that we are in
formed Of his purpose to leave us so
soon. He has proven himself to be
a zealons and able preacher, and a
most watchful and devoted pastor.
He is gentleman of fine intellect
ual attainm9nts and he exhibits
great powers as a preacher in the
pulpit, He has an unusual faculty
for grasplng the prominent and es-
sential points Of text and giving
them clear, forcible and interesting
exposition. While the Lutheran
church here will sustain q great loss
by the removal of Mr.. Butler, the
loss will be felt as fully by the entire
community, irrespective of all
church lines or DIVISIONS. The
people of his new charge have every
reason to congratulate themselves
on gaining the pastoral services Of
so able and earnest minister. He
leaves US with the wish of every one
who knows him that he may have q
cordial reception in the new field
to which he goes, and his new charge
may show him high appreciation to
which he is so eminently entitled,
both as man and a preacher. He
will hold his farewell service in the
Lutheran church in our town next
Sunday night. 1t will be a time to
bring sadness of heart to all who
attend the services, and, doubtless,
that number will be sufficient to fill
the house to its utmost capacity.
1t will be hard to fill his place here.
We will not know how great is our
loss till he is gone.

HOW TO GET GOOD ROADS.
Don't Depend on Resolutions but &C
Down In Your Pockets.


More good resolutions have been
expended upon good roads than
upon any other subject under
heaven except that of religion. And
what have they all amounted to? A
few hundred dollars in cash were
worth a hundred times all the
determination Of society to have
the public highways improved by
resolant sYntax.
Bicycle clubs, farmers alliances,
oranges, political parties, every
interest under the shining blue sky
has recorded IN round, smooth
sentences a desire for the permanent
improvement Of country roads,
And yet when anybody showed
under their noses a proposed law
compelling them to pay a few dol
lars for the thing they profess to
want most, it is invariably voted
down.
You see, resolutions cost nothing.
They are patriotic in sentiment and
do not involve five cents additional
tax. 1t is said of Americans that
when they want anything very
badly they get together and pass
resolutions. Then they 90 home
and imagine that the founder in
the sea will bring it to them because
thCy wished for #. If il doesn't
materialize in the course Of two
years they presume the founder
was engaged elsewhere and didn't
hear them, So they get together
again and issue some more resolu-
tons.
OF course this is comfortable
and cheap way Of dIsmissing an
irritating subject. 1t costs nothing
and at the same time registers the
hypocritical demand of the public
for good roads at the expense of
somebody else.
When Appius Claudius started
out to build the now famous Appian
Way, he didn' t wait for the carnage
builders and bicycle clubs and the
farmers plcnics to pass resolutions
on the subject. He simply put men
to work and constructed road $50
miles in length by IA to IS feet
wide from Rome south through
Capua and Brindisi, and although
2,206 years have passed since then
the Appian Way is still the best
country road in Europe.
When Napoleon determined that
France should have the best high
ways on earth for the rapid move.
ment of troops and the ready
supply Of armies with provisions
from the fields and farms, ne didn't
pause for the adoption of consti-
tutional amendment, but at once
took his soldiers out and built the
roads he wanted. And they are
there to-day the finest ana best
highways ever constructed.
This dIctational way of doing
things is of course neither possible
nor advisable in republican coun-
try, but IS IS part of history which
teaches us that the only way to get
good roads is to build them, no
matter what the cost in blood and
treasure.
What is wanted most in the con-
struction Of county roads is a dis
position to pay the costs, to foot
the bills, to give up the cash
required for the purpose. Resolu-
tions are very pretty and interesting
but q bushel of them never yet
built a foot of roadway anywhere
under heayen.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.
