RELIGIOUS

The Courier journal, of Louisville,
has done a valuable service in COM
piling statistics of religious progress.
The growth of the population of the
United States in one hundred years
was about thirteen-fold,but the church
membership has increased almost four
times as fast as our rapidly growing
p~opulation. But what about growth
in benevolence, missions, and spirit
uality? These count immensely IN
measuring the influence of the Church.
No figures a be made to describe
fuIIv the growth of the Church II splr-
ituality. vet there are certain consld-
erations which will throw much light
upon the matter. There has been
commendable growth in moral stan
dards both among ministers and Chris
tan people in general, and Increased
activity in many directions indicates
great spiritual growth. These figures
tell a wonderful story of development
in missions, education, and beneVo-
lence. A hundred years ago a half
million dollars would probably cover
everything raised for these purposes
now the churches of this country spend
annually over twenty-eight millions or
hospitals, orphanages, and other benev.
~olence; five and a half millions for for.
eign missions, and an equal or greater
sum for home missions. The following
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1902-06-17

summary of the sums spent by the
of the United States and En-
gland furnishes interesting food for
thought:
United States: Maintenance of all
churches, $137,563,2OO; education and
literature, $50, 900; hospitals and
orphanages, $2s,30O,OOO; improvements
and missions, $4S,OOO,OOO; miscellane-
Gus, $45, 466 100.
England: Church of England offer
ings, $37, 222, ITO; Church of England
revenues, $28, 772,785; Free Church,
$25, 1892, 800; Catholic churches, $11,-
411,282; education and literature, $43,-
445,682; hospitals and orphanages,
$29, 121, 200; improvements, missions,
$18, 85O,865.
The annual expenditure for the
churches and benevolent work of the
world is estimated at $1,OO9, 1859 ,494. Is
not this an eloquent expression OF
Christian faith and service New

WHAT WILL YOU MAKE OF IT.

"What are you making9 asked a
lounger in a blacksmith's shop, of the
new apprentice, who was hammering
away vigorously upon a piece of iron.
"I don't know" replied the embryo
Vulcan. 'but I reckon if I keep work
ing on it, it will make something"
So he put the bit of iron again into
the fire. and blew the bellows until the
ruddy glowing light reached every cor
ner of the little dingy shop, and a
bright shower of sparks fell around.
Then when it was red-hot he put it
again upon the anvil, and hammered
it this way and that, expanding a
great deal of time and muscular en-
ergy. At length, he threw it aside,
exclaiming: "There! I didn't make
anything, after all"
I have often thought that many
people are living like the young black
smith. They have materials, time,
health. and talents, of which some
thing noble and useful should be made,
but they just live along without any
aim at anything in particular, and
with no idea of what they will be or
do. And so, before they are aware,
the close of life comes upon them, and
they find they have mot made any
thing, after ALL" There are some who
have an object in view, but it is a low
one, unworthy the toll of immortal be-
ings. It may be the heaping together
of riches, sensuous pleasure, or the
qualification of some laudable ambi-
ton. But if it is pursued without
taking our duty to God and Our fell
Iow-creatures into account, and gain
ed, it will prove so poor, so ~unsatlsty-
ing in the end, that the same regret
will be felt that nothing has been
made, after all"
But those who have a high, pure aim
in life, some noble end to be accom-
plished for the benefit of u fellow
creatures and the advancement of the
Redeemer's Kingdom, if such an OBJ
iect is labored and striven for, in the
strength of the Lord, something pre-
cious and beautiful in the sight of God
and the angels will be formed, a full
and completely rounded life answer
ing the end for which it was created

Christian Life Column.


Endurance often shows greater hero
ism than action. We are most. i'm
pressed with the active side of a sol
dier's life-his marchings and his
fghtings. But the hardest to bear in.
that life are the long watches, the
sentry duty, the strain of expectancy
in the presence of the enemy.
In the Christian warfare it is often
harder to stand on guard than to
march or to fight. Just to keep watch
against the approach of temptation,
to guard the weak places, to be on the
outlook against the "well-placed sins"
is not a very exciting and triumphant
kind of work, but it is a very large
part of a Christians duty-of a Chris
tian's ~soldiership even. When the
apostle bids the Ephesians take to
themselves the whole armor of God,
we expect him to lead them into con
fict at once. But his exhortation is
to "stand"-not to fight. And this
standing on guard is the hardest and
the most needful thing for us in most
situations of life.-Great Thoughts.

Today is a king in disguise. Today
always looks mean to the thoughtless,
in the face of a uniform experience,
that all good and great and happy ac-
tions are made up precisely of these
blank todays. Let US not be so de-
ceived. Let us unmask the king as he
passes. Let us not inhabit times of
wonderful and various promise with
out divining their tendency. Let Us
not see the foundations Of nations and
of a new and better order of things
laid with rowing eyes and an attention
p~reoccupied with trifes.-Emerison,

BIZ HAS BEEN THERE.

Arachel, of Lenoir County, an occa-
sional correspondent of The Progress
sive Farmer, has an article in last
weeks Charity and Children that is
proof positive that he has had very
recent experience in handling the hoe.
We quote:
"By the way, it is good for a man to
have a garden. You car have your
own way there, motion or no motion
except when there is nut grass. This
al differs from every other kind, by
being clinched in China. No pillow or
grubbing hoe or spade has eve found
the other end of it. It has relay sta
tions, all the way down, at intervals of
five or six inches, where it doubles in
to a nut, gathers fresh strength and
shoots along towards the center of the
earth. You can cut it up, dig it up or
pull it up-it loves to be treated that
way-it helps it-for it then takes a
running start and peeps Up at you
next morning (more or less time) an
inch high, above the ground"

North Carolina is in need of a Re
formatory for young criminals. The
Legislature of 1908 can do nc public
act more commendable than to create
such an institution. A thirteen-year-
old boy of Scotland County has recent
ly been sent to the chain gang, where
his associates are hardened criminals,
for stealing a package of stationery.
At the last term of Halifax County
Court a boy, of youthful age, was also
sentenced to serve a term in the State
prison. These children need to be
brought up in a better atmosphere
than that found inside of prison walls
if they are ever to be any good to the
State.-Littleton Reporter.

AS / sit in my door, watching the
mocking bird build her nest in a cedar
tree at the corner of the porch, my
mind is filled with thoughts of how
God clothes the birds and flowers.
Some birds are very gorgeous and
beautiful, some plainly attired, but as
a rule the ~dull-colored birds have the
sweetest son and the little pale flow
ers the sweetest perfume. The most
modest flower has its mission in the
world; the plainest bird wears the
dress God gave it, and is happy. Would
we not do well to profit by the lessons
they teach? Do you remember Christ's
words beginning, "Why take ye
thought for raiment" Could we have
palmer instructions as to the course
we should pursue? Yet how often we
hear people say, on being asked why
they were not at church, Il could not
go; | had nothing fit to wear" Some
times, they add that they are saving
every penny for a parlor set or a new
lamp, or for some other earthly treas

service, too, even though we may not
be dressed in the latest style. Do not
think that I do not admire pretty raj
ment, for l do. When God clothes the
world in such beauty, 1 think He
means that His children should look
as attractive as they possibly can; the
folly lies in idolizing ones dress and
letting it come in ahead of God. So,
if you cannot have garments as fine
IS those worn by your neighbors, do
not stay away from church on that ac-
count.-Ada W., Midlothian, Tex, in

"a CHILD's GARDEN.

Saws the Southern Workman: The
Hampton Institute Bureau of Nature
Study has just issued its first leatet
addressed directly to children. 1t is
entitled "a Child's Garden" and con-
tains full directions for laying out,
fencing, preparing, planting and car
ing for a garden. The leafet is en-
tirely within the comprehension of
any child who can read and is attract
lively illustrated. The object of this
little treatise on gardening is to en-
courage children to try to make their
homes more attractive with vines and
flowers. Already nearly two thousand
children in Virginia and neighborlng
States have applied for it. 1t will be
sent free of charge to any child In the
| South who wishes to make a garden or
to any older person who is interested
to organize a branch of the Children's
Nature Club. A Richmond teacher
writes that four hundred children in
his building, ranging in age from
eight to eighteen years, are really en-
thusiastic on the subject. "In one low
primary grade" he says, "ffty-two
children have already planted seed."
Application for the leaflets should
be made to the Nature-Study Bureau,

LITTLE GIRL WITH A COMPANY
FACE.

Once ON a time, in a far-away place,
TTiTed a queer little girl with a COM
pany face,
And no one outside of the family
knew
of her everyday face, or supposed she
had two.
The change she could make with won
drous celebrity,
For practice had lent her surprising
dexterity.
But at last it CHANGED, on an unlucky
day,
Or, lucky, perhaps I would much bet
ter say,
To her dismal dismay and complete
CONSERVATION,
She failed to effect the desired trans
formation!
And a caller, her teacher, Miss Agatha
Mason,
Surprised her with half of her com
pany face on,
And half of her everyday face peep
ing out,
Showing one grimy tear track and
half of a pout,
Contrasting amazingly with the sweet
smile
That shone on her company side all the
while.
The caller no sooner had hurried away
Than up to her room the child few in
dismay;
And, after a night spent in solemn re-
Fiction
On the folly of features that can't
bear inspection,
She came down to breakfast, and walk

Calm, sweet, and serene, with her com

Thenceforward she wore it, day out
and day in
Till you really might think 'twould be
worn very thin;
But, strange to relate, it grew more

And her relatives think twas a red-let'

Surprised her with half of her com
pany face on.
