we nrinted in Sundays Tribune from a
nresidinq elder of the Methodist Episcopal
Church an authoritative and Illuminating letter
about Dying Churches, which was caiieu
forth by our recent editorial discussion OF the
subject The reasons why some churches die,
especially in suburban and semi-suburban re-
gions. were clearly set forth by man whose
work for years has made him close and In
terested observer of such matters. and they
seem at least upon their face, sufficient and
convincing leaving chiefly to wonder why
II Is that more churches are not enrolled In the
moribund category. But there is in it also strong
suggestion of the possibility of some system or
church prophylactcs which shall prevent de-
cay and keep the condition Of the parish prac-
tically unlmpaired despite the changes of popu-
lation which inevitably occur.
Our correspondent says that the population of
country places does shift or change, as does
that of the cities Granted. The change Is,
however gradual; and 1t would seem that the
church should be able to adapt itself to 1t. The
old members die and their children succeed
them In the community. The church should
make sure that they also succeed them in the
church Some families die out or move away,
and their places taken by strangers II Is
for the church to draw those strangers unto
itself to fl within Ii the places or the de-
parted members. Even If the newcomers are of
church, in many cases there is church Of
their own faith within reach, and they are thus
eft in a fair field for the work Of the existing
churches. We believe some of American
churches actually sending missionaries TO
Italy, to labor among Italians there. If there
is any reasonable prospect of such works vim
dicatng itself through its results. there surely
should be better outlook for work among the
Italians who come hither.
There is undoubtedly much force in what our
correspondent says about the financial poverty
of rural churches and in his suggestion that
they should be aided by the wealthy churches
of the cities. That was one Of the very things
which we had In mind In speaking of dying
churches and of their appeal TO the church at
large 1t is scarcely to be expected that rural
church which can pay than $500
5000 a year to its minister will be able to
secure for that sum man of commanding
talents or q man able to maintain the church
in prosperity amid the vicissitudes of changing
population and the attractions Of the cities.
But that poor stipend might easily be doubled
by gift from some city church, without the
latter's ever feeling 1t. There are city churches
which pride themselves upon the thousands of
dollars which they contribute each year TO
foreign missions TO home missions IN re-
mote field: and at the same time, for want
of q fraction of those sums. churches OF the
same faith only score Of miles away are
perishfng-little rural churches which are now
Door because they have sent so much Of their
sinew and brain and heart to the enrichment
of those very city churches which are now let
ting them perish. There Is cause In this matter

The British apology to Venezuela for the recent

Jealous colonial functionary is an interesting
international incident. 1t is too often said by
the unthinking that big powers habitually dis
regard the rights of small ones. Here was a
case In which technical wrong was apparently
done to a minor power by the agent of one OF
the very greatest powers The great power
might have refused any redress, or might nave
insisted upon a tedious investigation OF the case'
in which countercharges might have been put
forward. Instead OF that, a complete and hano-
some apology promptly offered. and all pos
sible amends for the offence were made just as
though the complaint had proceeded from one
of the greatest. instead of one of the weakest
powers. Such an incident confirms faith IN 'he
