HIS DEFENSE IN RHYME.
Dr.. Van Dyke JocuIarly Replies in
Verse to Critics of Canned Prayers

Prom Judge.
When DR.. Henry van Dyke, known not
only as n preacher and practlcer OF
progressive ideas, but also as poet and
the writer o.. some of the purest prose
In tic Amcrcea language, prepared II
prayer book Tor use in the Presbyterian
churt hes. he was attacked vigorously In
many quarters. Anent the subject, Judge
published the following bit of verse writ
ten by William j. Hampton:
DIR. VAN DYKES PRAYER BOOK.
NOTE.-Said a western Presbyterian
preacher I'VE accept canned meat
canned milk, canned fruit and canned
vegetables, but we can't stand for canned
prayers
Try, brother, try Perhaps at first
You'll think that canned prayers are tho
worst
You ever heard; but after while
You'll advocate the later style
And wonder how you ever stood
The kind you thought were just as good
Or better. maybe, for you know
The previous style We're long and slow.
Perhaps you. in the pulpit might
Consider them exactly right.
But think OF those who, in the pews,
would listen to string Of news
Sent heavenward. as If the Lord
Knew nothing till He got the word
I'll 6uiitdA lnOi HlilSo nun q liO9N
OF earnest, staying preachers, most
OF whom had studied half the night
TO get their information right
Oh. that long prayer! Nobody knows
Until he's listened, how it grows
And grows and grows until its length
Exhausts its own and others strength.
Indeed, we've thought sometimes that
He
Who listens to us lovingly
Must feel that greater love abound
When Sunday mornings came around.
However, now that wisely they \
Are furnished much the better way.
IT'S Zip to preachers everywhere
70 drop the long and rambling prayer
And try the best and latest brand,
Although the mossbacks call it canned. "
A little later Mr.. Hampton received
tho following quaintly-rhymed endorse
ment from the poetical practical and
progressive preacher:
Avalon. Princeton, n. j.. October Z, 1906.

them will have to be supplemented from
other sources and the only thing in sight
to keep up our revenues is agriculture.
From an agricultural point of view We
are to become the greatest producing pow
er in the world. When this is brought
about, which will be in the near future.
we will need all the products of our mines
and forests to be used in the manufacture
of farm implements and other things Tor
our own people The products OF our
factories and our farms too will soon all
be needed for supplying the wants OF
our own people. In view of these 1acts,
if our farmers are only educated to pro-
duce a first-class article and offer for
sale nothing but strictly high grade
stocks. there win be no trouble about a
market for all that can be produced upon
our farms.
Another Line of Work.
This suggests another line of eduea-
tional work for the institute which is
the great importance of soil fertility and
the maintenance of this soil fertility We
should be more concerned about TINS than
any other proposition now before us. IL
the millions who are to follow us are 10

kept up to the very highest producing

farmer In that knowledge of soil culture
which will enable him not only to make

he began to farm It, The more | investI-

convictions that the work of the institute
is a work of education; that it is q great
work; that we have a great future pc
fore us and while much has been accom-
plished there is much for us to do we
should be untiring in our efforts.
