Gov. Rollins Fast Day Proclama-
ton.

Fast day has been abolished in Yer
mont but New Hampshire still clings
to the custom and the governor of that
state has issued the usual proclama-
ton. which named Thursday, April 10,
as the day to be observed as such.
Gov. Rollins pre- clamation is a de-
parture from the kind that the people
have become accustomed to in years
past and contained statements that
have attracted much attention from
pulpit aud press. The Governor
earnestly suggested that Fast Day
union meetings be held, made up of all
shades of belief, including all who
were interested in the welfare of the
state, and that in these meetings the
people would consider the condition of
religion IN the rural communities. He
then goes on to speak of "the decline
of Christian religion in the rural COM
munities. When religious Influence
is withdrawn from a community its
decay, moral, mental and financial, is
swift and sure. There are towns where
no church bell sends forth its solemn
call from January to January; there
are villages where children grow to
manhood unChriStened: there are COM
munities where the dead are laid away
without the benson of the name of
The Christ, and where marriages are
sOlemnzed only by justices of the
peace"
This appears like broad statement
to make concerning New England
state where religion is commonly sup
posed to have foothold in all sections
steadily growing stronger instead of
weaker. But such conditions must
exist in portions of New Hampshire or
Gov. Rollins would not have sent out
such proclamation. He has even
said that within a short distance of
Concord he could name ten towns that
are in the condition above described.
The pulpit appears divided on the ques-
ton, some claiming that the Governor
has made statement that facts will
not prove. Statistics, they say, GER
tainIy show that there has been no de-
cline of Christianity in the rural COM
munities, but, on the contrary, an in
crease in the number of churches and
the religious sentiment. In the coun-
try as a whole this is probably so as
Christianity is undoubtedly constantly
gaining strength. But it does not
prove Gov. Rollins mistaken in his
views. He knows sections of the state
entirely without religious influence
and he does right in calling attention
to the fact. It gives those who are so
deeply interested In foreign mission
airy work an opportunity to do similar
work nearer home where it is badly |
needed. Without doubt there are
communities scattered all through |
New England in the same condition as
the ones Gov. Rollins has in mind in
his state. 1t seems hardly possible |
that this should be so in a section
where religion has always been so
predominating factor in the life of
people as it has been in these New
England states. If these communities
do exist they are good fields for mis-
sionary work. Vermont has a Home
Missionary society that does excellent
work in preventing the existence of
many such communities in this state.
Through its aid churches have been
established i'm many places and the
people given the benefit of religious
influence. J.

up, The spoke in a hearty way They
talked together for some time. Finally
Professor McKinnon said

The minister was somewhat shaken by

frequently broken by the ordinations
of contentment which were uttered by
the sick man. Having suffered SO long

his pain longer. There was smile of
supreme peace on his face when the
prayer of the minister ended.
