Church Entertainments.

AT a recent ministerial gathering IN
New York City, Rev. Drew Z. Wyman,
read a concise and discriminating pa
per- his topic being Church Enter
tainmentS." The subject was treated
under two general divisions: the pro-
hibitiVe and the adaptive, in relation
to securing funds for church work by
means of other methods than the vol
untary offering. The reader, in his
earlier ministry, was opposed to any
method aside from the latter; but his
views had undergone measure of
change. The real work of the church.
first, last, and always, is the redemp-
ton of men; and the voluntary offer
ing, where practicable. is the better.
Yet other methods are permissible,
and necessary at times, according to
the Scripture, to which the speaker
appealed The fourteenth chapter of
Romans inculcates liberty of action;
and the attitude of our Lord toward
the merchandise of the temple. and
the money changers, whose enterprises
We're mercenary and wholly for selfish
ends, has no bearing upon the question
at issue, and is not prohibitive. The
Scripture records the fact of great
feasts being held in the temple itself,
when the people rejoiced before the
Lord. An enterprise for the benefit
of the church. suitable to be conducted
in a hall, may with propriety be held
in the meeting house; and If unsuitable
for the latter it is unsuitable to be held
at all That it was recommended to
lay by in store upon the first day of
the week" is in no manner prohibitive
of the employment of other proper
methods. We may adapt ourselves to
such methods as circumstances may
suggest. Paul became all things to all
men that he might save some. we
have the right to freedom of action in
all these matters.

Vigorous in mind and body and brim-
full of energy, he achieved his career
by combination of industry and ma
tive keenness. This advancement was
steady and rapid in western railroad
work, and in 1896 he was installed
as vice president of the Santa Re
railroad system and took charge Of
its entire traffic. This position he
held until he became secretary OF
the navy last June.

a bureau chief in the general offices
of the company, and, together with
other bureau chiefs, he was summoned
one day into the general managers

The Country Church Problem.

An address on this subject by Rev.
C. A. Moody of Portland. Ore, is at
tracing some attention from the re-
ligious press. The subject was treat
ed from the social, the cooperative.
and the evangelistic point of view.
Many of the smaller churches have
become almost extinct thru inadequate
administration. In the broad field
supervised by the speaker, which COM
prises several states of the Pacifi;
coast, difficulties arise from too great
a MULTIPLICATION of UNCONVENTIONAL or.
CARNATIONS. The disintegration of VIII
lagos initiates against the growth OF
church life. Many other causes We're
advanced. The adoption of the sys-
tenn of rural delivery, on the other
hand, increases intelligence. giving
greater accessibility to the daily news
paper. The telephone and electric
methods of transportation and 1rrlga-
ton. tend strongly to improve existing
conditions. All this constitutes
strong bearing upon the question o.
evangelization and the future OF the
country church. The problem of rural
CHARACTERIZATION is the problem of ma
tional evangelization. Social and CO.
operative organizations will lead to 2
higher development, tending to solve
the religious problem by eliminating
unnecessary sects, and drawing to-
gether those which properly remain.
Baptists are ready for this country
evangelization, for evangelistic work
must be a source of spiritual develop
ment. Each community must take the
initia tive. The church is pre-eminent-
ly qualified for leadership thru its
ministry. Added to the sound truth
uttered, distinct vein of humor gave
attractiveness to the address.

Scorn for obstacles is one Of the
most noticeable characteristics about
Paul Morton. A story is told about q
gate through a railway that fenced off
pert of an Office in which Mr.. Morton
worked at one time. This gate had a
mysterious patent fastener that would
not work unless one knew the right
spot and touched it. Preoccupied with
business matters, Morton bumped
against that gate day after day. Finally
in one Of his swinging strides he broke
the lock and was evidently pleased.
Yet he was not satisfied, so thereafter
he daily used his foot and played foot
ball with the gate until its hinges were
broken, and the janitor was ordered to
carry it away.
A Remarkable Proceeding.
A story that illustrates Morton's
grim sense of humor is told as follows:
One day when he returned from cab
met meeting his secretary pointed out
q pile Of documents and asked him to
afflx his name. Morton took up one Of
the letters, carefully inspected it and
then gravely asked his secretary where
he should sign it.
'sWhy, in the same place you always
sign" answered the scribe, surprised
but do you think it safe?" asked
Mr.. Morton.
Safer! exclaimed his secretary
.Why, don't know what you means

The papers related to the transpor-
tation of supplies for the Mare Island
navy yard across the continent to Cal
ifornia, and only after humorous
consultation for half an hour with va
rious officials did Mr.. Morton sign the
papers and hand them to the waiting
messenger Of the chief clerk. All
