Evi, of Too Many Churches.

America has too many churches.
Towns which might be Well admins
tered spiritually by one clergyman or
two have six. eight or ten. No one Of
the six o. more congregations can
pay for a good preacher. Few OF
them can pay all the COS OF any
preacher, however poor. Nor can any
cne of them pay for al! the time OF
their spiritual leader. SO only very
young men are to be had and the de-
mands upon their time cover so wide
a territory that preaching must be al,
most their exclusive occupation ano
pastoral duties be almost entirely dis.
regarded. One of the clergymen oh
serves terse]y and justly: "No bust

In a Corn Field.


Tie corn has much 10 say!
1t tells with a gay delight
The gossip Of golden day.
The dream of the tender night.
The sunny slopes run sweet
To the edge Of the woodland shadows.
Where the idle. laughing streams repeat
The talk Of the happy meadows.
Bat the trees that lean above
Have deeper thoughts to measure;
They whisper OF home and love.
Anu hold their own life's treasure:
They breathe in the sun-fiiled space;
Rooted in calm they stand.
Granting the birds nesting place,
Blessing the quiet lanG.
And the hills their secrets hold
Where the broodins clouds hang over:
There the soft winds unfold
Glad thoughts that few discover.
0 whispering corn. be still!
My heart Is vainly trying
To hear, through all your rustling thrill
The deep tones underlying.
All sweet escaping song.
Mine ears can ne'er compel u.
But the little flower I bring along
Smiles up. and tries TO tell it!
