' Capturing of the Labor Movement"
There was large attendance of men
at the Mems Club of the First Pres
byterian Church on Monday evening
to hear the Rev. Charles Stelzel, who
spoke on Capturing the Labor
Movement" He reviewed briefly the
movement the world over to-day and
said that finite power cannot oppose
it no God will The question is, will
the church influence the movement
to high moral. ideals, or will the
movement capture the church and
push ahead to higher ideals. He de-
clared that the average working man
is religious, the labor questions funda-
mentally moral and religious prob
lem workingmen are more responsive
to the appeal of the church than they
have ever been before. The church
on its part should be absolutely sin
cere, should show a spirit of dem
ocracy, should preach clear social
message and should have more of the
prophetic spirit. After the address
there were number of questions
asked, and it.was announced that on
February 18th, Rev. o. A. Curtis, of
Drew Seminary, will speak on Abra-
ham Lincoln.

GOING Back to the Farm.

Albany, ~ r., Jan. 15.-The ebbing
tide of rural population as compared
with the city population has turned,
and the decrease in farm values which
has been in progress in this state for
twenty-five years may be said to have
ceased, according to the view of State
Commissioner of Agriculture Charles
A. Wieting. as expressed in his annual
report. The movement of country peo-
pie to the cities and to the west, he
thinks, has stopped, and these people
are again beginning to realize the at
fractions of New York state farms.
He places the shrinkage in farm values
In this state during the past quarter
century at nearly $7500,000.
