ANOTHER FAREWELL SAID
rowssHEsp's TWO CHURCHES NOW
WITHOUT PASTORS.
Rev. o. D. r. Meaeham Speaks Final Words
TO United Congregations sunday Retiring
Pastor Much Loved and Respected as oiti'
zen and Clergyman.

II rarely happens that a town with two
churches Is left without a pastor In either,
but such Is the present misfortune OF Towns
bend. Rev. G. ID. H. Meaeham has been for
40 many years Identified with all the best in
terests Of the town and Is so loved and re-
spected as man, q citizen, and pastor,
that his departure will be great blow 10
everyone. II IL commonly said that when
man has once resigned a pastorate he can
never be a success In that church again
This has been proved false or else Mr.. Mea.
cham is an exception 10 all rules, since his
return brought blessing 10 his church and all
feel that he has done here work which no
one else could do. The farewell sermon was
preached Sunday TO congregation composed
Of members from both churches. The text
was Ps. 2s.i 1.-THE Lord is my shepherd,
shall not want" Mr.. Meacham, who has
travelled in the Holy Land, said that YER
mont was physically much like Palestine ex.
cept that the mountains here are covered
with yerdure aud dotted with homes. After
describing the fold and the care which the
shepherd takes OF the sheep, Mr.. Meacham
led his people by the "still waters and
through the green pastures" and all the
ways Of God as shown In the esd Psalm.
Then he told Of his own love for Townshend
and its people and babe them farewell,
hoping that they might indeed fare well. =

would. bring an investigation, and if
the complaint was sustained suit
against the offending firm.
What is claimed, for the Beveridge
plan is that it would reach in nation
al way what is national evil and
would be: uniform in it's application.
The big factories and the mining COM
panies would not. try to evade such a
law provided it was general in it's ap-
plication,s The present difficulty is
with the difference in the regulations
in different states. They sometimes
create an economic hardship in the fact
that on one side of an imaginary state
line cheap child labor is available while
on the other side it is prohibited.
The Beveridge plan is deserving of
careful consideration. It seems to open
way to stop the frightful drafts upon
the future manhood and womanhood of
the country now pathetically illustrated
an the stunted children to be found in
hundreds Of workshops This with the
inferior housing of the working people
in the larger cities forms real menace
to the industrial future of the country

Beveridge's Child Labor Law.

Senator Beveridge's plan to reach
the employers Of child labor thru a
federal statute is simple and ingenious
even if it is open to the objection that
it. would not be powerfully effective.
THE congress of the United States
could not constitutionally prohibit
child labor in factories since it would
be an invasion of state rights for the
federal government to try to limit en-
pioyment within state. But it is
constitutional for congress to forbid
any common carrier to transport the.
products Of child labor OF course the
railroads cannot be expected to know.
what kind Of labor is employed in. each
factory from which they accept goods
for Shipment. But under The act ssRro-I
posed BY Mr. Beveridge they would be
expected to protect Intensely res with an;
affidavit from The manufae turer that
no child 7. labor was employed. 81 In
answer to5tthe objection that it: would
take an army Of inspectors to enforce
such aIaw is said that It latt safe
