How One Church Has Succeeded in
Reaching It's People.
The story of the rebuilding of st.
Georges church on New York's cas-.
side, by DR.. w. S. Rainsford, is being
told by DR.. Rainsford in the outlook.
Dr. Rainsford was severely criticized
recently for some unconventional and
presumably unorthodox utterances in
q Le1ten lecture in Philadelphia. From
the following extracts in one of his
recent Outlook articles it may be seen
that ne is unconventional in deed as in
word. AS he says. the great problem
Is the adaptation of machinery to en-
yironment.
Every single organization we started

needs of the people. l have been crit

that was a new thing not many years
ago. l aid ii because l found that the
girls were going to bad dances. Then,
when we started the dramatic society,
some eople said that l wanted to turn
st. Georges into a theater. My boys
and girls want TO go to the theater;
they ought To go. The drama has a
good influence: that influence viii in

:L0OKER.ON IN IOWA


Jefferson, June 6.-Only those wh'
see the actual condition of overflowe,
farm districts in Iowa can realize TIL
present and future damage to crops o
the state. For instance last Monday be
tween Onawa and Castana, there wa:
a strip of about five miles wide GOV,
cred with water from six to ten fee
| deep. Farm houses were surrounded
and stock yards two feet deep in the
water. Crops of oats and corn are un-
mstakably destroyed. And if these far.
mers are lucky enough to get chance
| to replant their cornflelds before June
colt will be almost a miracle If crops
mature. The only possible use this
| land can be put to is to put in millet
| and this is not a profitable grain for
the Iowa farmer who has plenty OF
hay and oat straw
To offset this damage is the large
percentage of Iowa land that always
gets rid Of surplus water. Around
Denison on Monday last the writer
saw hundreds of acres that were under
water. Two days after returning over
the same railroad, the writer saw these
fields Of corn almost free from the flood
effect and the corn and oats apparently
none the worse for their fresh water
bath.
But there is a large amount OF low
land in many OF our central and north
ern counties. that no crop excepting
possibly inlet can be raised thereon
during the year 1908. Last years rains
soaked these farms so that many could
not husk their corn until the ground
froze hard enough to bear up a team
Many of the roads in such districts
were muddy and almost impossible
during the whole summer. Where these
roads We're 'piked up the water Of last
springs rains was in the bitches along
the roads all last summer and winter.
Now this wet season has come and
there is no relief in sight for 1903.

rock the boat that such labor leaders as
Adair will speak out. Now Comes word
from Marshall Field, who does, not pre-
tend to speak for labor particularly, but
can be credited with greater foresight
into the future than most men. In re-
ply to rumor that his buyers had been
instructed to cease buying goods, be-
cause OF fear for the future, the great
merchant says in signed Interview

that labor will be out of employment,

lnjoying will not continue unless this

of Turkish Affairs

of Turkish Affairs.
| 1t IS generally known that France

certain right OF protection. the benefit
Charles of which are the Catholic sub
jects of the sultan. 1t Is also known
| that The czars are more or less inter-
ested in the orthodox subjects of the
same sovereign and the Armenian
massacres few years ago revealed to
the public that the terms of the Ber-
lin treaty give the powers the right
to intervene in favor of the Christian
peoples of Turkey. France was the
first country to obtain any powers of
this nature in the treaty of peace, COM
merce and of administration, known as
the capitulations of 1885, guaranteeing
freedom of religious belief to the
French. This protection was limited
at frs. to the assurance of the free
practice OF their religion to the French
and the maintenance OF the Latin be-
levers in the sanctuaries which they
had founded in Syria, and Palestine.
The French representatives have al
ways avaoided direct protection of the
native Christians, assuming rather the
the time when the different European
nations became automatically repre-
scented at the porte, this right of gen.
eral protection had almost become a
theory.
In the hands of Austria and Russia
religious protection took on very diff |
ferent character. The rights of Aus

more ancient and dates back to the
ime when Russia became a dreaded
leighhor of Turkey. AT the end Of the
asst Russo Turkish war there was
lrawn Up treaty in which the right of
he powers to intervene in behalf of

egal.y stipulated. 1t is necessary to
tate that whereas France, Austria and

'athoiic or Orthodox Kayaks based on
oncessions obtained from the porte by
reaties, the great Protestant nations.

tates are actively interested in the

cially when 1t is considered that the
money expended in the work will come
hack to the fund in annual payments
from the settlers benefited.
The National Irrigation Association
however. finds the heavy sales of land
an alarming feature. The real situation
it asserts, is unfavorable TO the govern
ment plan of benetfring actual settlers.
These government receipts are derived
from the sale of land under the timber
and stone act, the communication clause
of the homestead act and the desert
land act, and this record breaking in
crease in sales can mean nothing less
than that immense areas of the public
domain are being rapidly absorbed into
private ownership. But what class of
ownership? The very lands which 1t is
proposed that the government should
iIrigate and offer to home-seekers are
being taken up and held for speculative
purposes or acquired ley large live
stock interests under our loosely con-
structed and poorly administered land
laws; they are not being taken by set
that the public lands suitable.for home-
making have about all been taken up
and that those remaining must be irri-
gated before the settler can make liv-
ing on $50 or even a 320-acre tract.
How comes 1t then that such vast areas
of land are being disposed of as Is
land of1ice-last year nearly 100000
acres and this year probably 25,000,O0O
acres more?
Speaking for his own state and town
In this connection Senator Paris Glib
son, of Great Falls. Mont, who wrote
the report of the senate public lands
committee last winter urging the repeal
of the above mentioned land laws in
accordance with President Roosevelt's
recommendation to congress, said:

lie lands of Montana are being taken

Office during the nine months ending

land and homestead filings will be made !
in this office in one year ending July |
next, covering probably 10000 acres. |
AS there are seven land districts in |
Montana, undoubtedly the filings for
the fiscal year in this state will cover |
at least 100000 acres-title passed to
two and half million acres of our very |
finest farming land and with no agri-
cultural settlers coming into the state
