Diminished Church Attendance


From The New York sun.
Diminished church attendance,
where there is such a diminuuon,
is mol fairly attributable to the
preachers. II the people are al
nest in their religious belief and
crave spiritual food they are not
critical Of the preacher, SO long as
he is in earnest like themselves.
When they set to carping az his
sermons il is a sign that they are
not hungry for the food. In times
OF religious revival the humblest,
the plainest preacher inspired by
40 ardent faith, is eloquent enough
for them. II there is 10 their
hearts the demand the supply is
sure TO come. Al the time OF the
great Awakening in 1857 the
preachers ia New York we're not

words OF salvation.
AS il is now, the churches which
make their appeal to religious sem
tipent, to devout emotion, and

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

One Of the most readable docu-
ments ever issued by a president is
the message to Congress BY Theo-
dore Roosevelt, President Of the
United States, read in Congress on
Tuesday. He attributes our pios
perity ''to no sudden or accidental
causes, but to TIE play Of the eco
nomic forces in this country for
over a century; TO our laws. our
sustained and continuous policies
above all, to the high individual
average of our citizenship This
rs a truth as patent as the
history Of our country and as read
lily recognized by those conversant
with that history.
On the subject of the trusts, be
says. "a fundamental base Of CIV
iIization is the invlolability of prop
erty; but this is in no wise incon-
sistens with the right of society to
regulate the exercise of the artif-
.eial powers which it confers upon
the owners of property, under the
name of corporate franchises, in
such a way as to prevent the misuse
Of these powers" This is a truth
recognized BY the fathers in the
foundation of our nation and EN-.
phasized in the development of our
government.
His expressions on the tariff ques-
ton are eminenily wise and con-
sentative. He does not think It has
any connection with the trust ques-
ton, nor do we. He says "Our
past experience shows that great
prosperity in this country has al
ways come under a protective tariff;
and that the country cannot pros
per under htful tariff changes al
shoit intervals" And tina, ''there
must eve be any change which
will ~joepardize the standard Of com.
fort, or TIE standard OF wages OF
the American wage worker" Facts
made plain in the recent history Of
the country and a sueeinet state
ment OF the object OF Republican
policies.
On the subject Of the labor pro-

compared with more southern To-
calities. Still we believe that
even there some hardy winter
covering crop that necessltates
the spring replowing, will be of
advantage. There is no time dur
ing the whole year when the deep
plowing and subsoiling needed by
many soils can be better done
than in the late fall, and for this
reason we always favor the doing
of the work at this time, provided,
always, that some crop is sown
for The winter. 1t is true that at
this writing it will be too late
over a large section Of the coun-
try to SOW this Winter cover, but
we have said enough on that point
heretofore to show what We favor.
Ia the South there is still time TO
get the Winter cover of rye, is
still good thing for this purpose,
and the benefit to the soil will
fully repay the additional labor
OF turning it under in the Spring.
The Fall plowing that pays, then,
Is that which prepares for Win
ter cover that makes the far.
mer plow again in the Spring.

The Fall Flowing that Pays.

The subject of Fall blowing is
now up in the Experience Pool
Our readers are fully aware that
the Editor has. consistently Cd.
posed Fall blowing and leaving
the land bare in Winter. 1t is
usually urged that Fall blowing
saves plowing in the Spring
But soil that does not need re
plowing in the spring in usually
one that should not be plowed at
all in the Fall. The heavy soils
that are most benefited by Fall
blowing, will usually be found
bettered by a replowing in the
Spring, We believe that the or
dinary Fall blowing, and leaving
the land bare III winter does more
harm III most cases than good
True, in the far North where the
soil closes up tight all Winter
there will be less damage than
where there are heavy rains and
thawing and freezing all Winter,
and the damage in the far north
will be hardy aPpreciablo a.
