TOLD OF OLD TIMES
DIR. HALEY's ADDRESS TO CHRIS
TIAN ENDEAVORERS.
How There Wasn't Much Use for
Northern Churches Here and
Preachers Didn't Speak
as They Passed By.

Whenever anybody talks to you about
the faults of churches. the shortcomings
of preachers. just tell them that all God
has to make church of is just men and
women and. as old Bobby Burns said. they
are 'unco' weak"
This was one of the flashes with which
Rev. DIR. Thomas p. Haley illuminated his
informal talk on the growth of churches in
Kansas City during the last fifty years
before the monthly meeting of the city
union OF Christian Endeavor societies at
the Y. NJ. c. A. rooms last night. The
doctor was in his most genial and happy
Vein and told his recol!ections OF the
growth of the various denominations most
entertainingly. drawing frequent lessons
for the present guidance of his young near
ers as he told of the ups and downs oil the
early Kansas City churches.
DR.. Haley said he has known kansas
City since 1889 and known Of it since 1854.
when he was pastor in the city OF Lex
ington'' and heard of the village here.
In 1883 Kansas City had but one store on
top of the hill: the rest of it was Town on
the river front: After that when one or
Twelfth and Main streets it was out in
the. country" and served for the people
both in Kansas City and Westport. The
doctor paid a high tribute to the early set
illiterate. Though they swore and some OF
them even lied or stole, they Were very
credulOuS ana very religious. Cdi one Ot
them an infide and there was trouble on
hands right away. So. with such Il popu-
lation. no sooner did they get a cabin Of
their own and a place cleared so they could
raise a little hog and hominy. than they
built Il school house and then q church.
So it was that churches began to be built
in Kansas City when the only street was
Main street and that was formed by ma
ture, u canyon starting away out south
and running down to the river.
In the early days there We're few very
young preachers: In those days they didn't
think a boy in his teens could preach. and
if a very young man started into the min
istry he was very apt to be told:
You had better tarry at Jerusalem until
thy beard doth grow"
In speaking of one minister who left his
church after a church difficulty and started
what he called a Peoples church," DR.
Haley said:
If / wanted to become noted. to have my
fame spread all across the land l would ge'
some great big, handsome heresy and shout
it for all | was worth. would have q
Peoples church or a Church of This
World or something of that sort, and
But like this preacher in the old time wht
found it hard to get money to keep hi:
church going, so anybody will find that i
takes a little religion to run a church. i
a minister tries to run a church without re
ligion he will surely find Jordan a hare
road to travel"
The meeting last evening. in addition t.
from the various societies in the city anC
appointed a committee consisting C
Thomas Jones. A. f. Douglass. Edgal
Smith. Miss Irons and Miss Page to pre-
sent nominations at the next meeting TO
officers for the ensuing year.

making a new channel a mile and a half
north of the old channel. The Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Railway Company's

Congress granted this request in the

soon as possible. began the work of turn.

to be dug. This work which has been

w. WEIGH. who has ably conducted the
work to near completion. The course of
the river will be changed and the work
completed by the LIST of March.
superintendent WEIGH says that this is

a river and gone to so much expense to

American Commerce With the COun-

American Commerce, the Trade of South
America. Central America, Mexico and the
West Indies, and the Share of the United
States and Other Leading Nations Therein
1S21-9S,'' is the title of a monograph just
issued by the treasury bureau of statistics.
OF the total imports of all South America
81 per cent is taken by the countries Dor
dering upon the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
and but u per cent by those bordering up
on the Caribbean. Going down the eastern
coast of South America, we find Brazil i'm
porting, in 1891. goods to the value of over
SIo5,0po.osu, Of which the United States sup
Piled about l. per cent: Uruguay and Para
quay, s., u1o,H.a. of which our share was
less than . per cent, and Argentina, $50
900. of which less than : per cent was
from the United States, while a tour of the
Pacific coast shows importatons into Chile

6l1uo. and Ecuador. $1,''00o1p. the proper
tion from the United States averaging 10
per cent. Thus the northern coast of South
America, fronting on the Caribbean sea,
imports goods to the value of S36.tEO,tsD, of
which supply an average of - per cent
the eastern coast. fronting upon the Allan
tic S2-2s2on,opD. ard the Pacific coast. $5l,-

case about IL per cent.
Nor can il be urged that this condition
is a temporary one. While exports from
the United States TO Mexico have grown
rapidly. especially since the opening of rail-
way communication, and have experienced
a moderate development in the ease of the
countries bordering upon the Caribbean sea,
the total sales to countries south of US have
not grown with the rapidity which has
characterized those to the wcrld at large.
In lS(.S our sales to the countries south of
US were ~ per cent of our total exports: in
ISIS a little less than 10 per cent; in 1SSS.
a fraction above 10 per cent. and in 1888
but per cent OF our total exports.
