The NEED OF the MINISTRY.

When the question of the causes of
a diminished church attendance Is be-
ing asked back and forth amoni,
those most intimately interested in the
growth OF church membership. the lay.
man may be pardoned for putting III
a word edgewise. The church as II
great influence upon public life AMI
civilization in general IL not close
corporation. 1t is within the reason
able scope OF public approval and
criticism. No creed is beyond ques-
ton nor is any representative of any,
creed secure in an assumption of in
fallibility. The investigation into the
falling away from any public leader
ship, belongs TO all and none can, with
out becoming ridiculous, assume IL
monopoly of thought or suggestion
along lines that concern others as we'll
as himself. Religion belongs to every
man as we'll as politics. SO when the
pulpit asks question, the laity has II
right to reply and its answer to the
church attendance query seems to re-
coil upon the pulpit. The people are
not deserving the faith of their fathers
or the great truths of the scriptures.
II they are staying away from church
it is because the sermon fails in at
traction.
There is a strong tendency observ-
able nowadays toward wide tolerance
for opinion and liberty in thought.
Men are all studying humanity move
and creeds less. Instead Of we'll
written discipline they are looking for
well balanced men. There is a scare

mankind In not seeking doctrine but
present help. AS the earth is narrowed
and its ends brought together by art
and invention men have widened and
are more impressed by conditions than
by doctrine. They have outgrown
fright and dependence, and think much
for themselves Narrow sermons,
built upon the conditions and dogma.,
OF past centuries must fail to attract.
If church attendance is falling off, th,
conclusion forces itself that it is be-

CORN.
[Clinton Age.1
That Iowa is the greatest corn state
in the union is now everywhere adj
mitted. Year after year the crop re-
ports show this fact and Iowa has not
much more than gotten fairly engaged
in raising corn. In the first place.
there are millions of acres of the best
corn lands that may be devoted to corn
that are now either in pasture or in
crops that are in no wise as sure and
profitable as growing corn. With an
average yield of thirtytwo bushels to
the acre Iowa has produced total of
more 800, 100000 bushels We see the
statement made by one of the best
posted farmers in Iowa that, in his
opinion, it will not be many years until
every acre of land in Iowa that will
produce corn will be producing double
the amount of the recent average. He
makes the prediction that it will not be
many years before corn land of Iowa
can command at least 500 per acre.
