"Tum MIR AND THE GRAY"

1t Is difficult for the generation that
has grown mp in this country during the
past score of years to realize the part
PLAYED in the reconstruction period fol-
lowing the civil War by the poem, "The
Blue and the Gray" which is now re-
called by the death of its author ex-
Judge Francis NJ. Finch at the advanced
age Of eighty years.
Judge Finch. who was a graduate of
Yale and for many years dean of the
law school of Cornell University. was not
only a brilliant lawyer and distinguished
Judge. but he was also a gifted poet. His
most famous production, however, was
his plea in versliication for the exercise
of charity toward the Lost Cause"
which was printed In the Atlantic Month
ly in 1867 This poem appeared at n
time when the sectional hate naturally
growing ont Of our country's great In
tern inc struggle was still at it's height,
aud a host Of parents who had given
il"lT SOILS lbT INC lIlip'l, anu wiz - anu
sisters and sweethearts, who had lost
loved once on Southern battlc1clds. could
not quickly respond to the sentiment
embodied in this appeal for the closing
of the bloody chasm.'
AS the years have rcvolved. however,
people in both the North and the South
have come to appreciate more and more
the beauty of thought as we'll as the
noble conception of fraternity embodied
in its lines, ana it is safe to say that no
one influence outside OF the policies
adopted by some of our administrations,
notably that Of the lamented Mckinley,
has done moro to heal the wounds left
by our great civil strife than this famous
poe.l. To-day the great mass of the
people throughout our land can unite in
reechoing the beautiful sentiment. which
eliminates in the closing stanza Of the
poem:
mo more shall the war-cry sever
OR the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger forever.
When they laurel the graves of o'u dead
Under the eod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Love ana tears for the Blue
Tears and love for the Gray.

WHAT DRAINAGE MEANS.

Tillcrs of soil of the present age in
this section OF the country hardly real
lzo the fun value of drainage; for the
apparently greater part OF the neces-
sary work in this direction was done
by earlier generations. We use the
word apparently" advisedly in this
connection since we suspect no small
portion OF the land supposed to be In
the pink of condition would be inn
proved by sub drainage, to say moth
Ing of swamps and marshes.
1t is a well known fact that some OF
the best and most productive soil in
Vermont, as in other Now England
States, was reclaimed by means of the
drainage of swamps, and 1t is equally
certain that there are still opportuni-
ties for the adding of considerable ter
ritory to arabic land in this State
through the adoption Of similar treat
ment.
Valuable information on the subjeC
OF drainage Is embodied in an intois
esting and instructive article contrib

WHAT OUR COUNTRY CHURCHES
NEED.

rho average thinker would probably
coz. ne, hand that what our country
churches most need Is more vigorous
membership ana support rms ap-
narently simple statement of the prob
lem embodies a number of questions
each of which demands serious atten-
ton. The endoavor TO answer some
of these questions has resulted in the
production OF an interesting article
in pamphlet form on the subject
what our Country Churches Need
nv the Rev George Frederick Wells.
The discussion. which is based In
study of the country church problem
made by the author under the auspices
of the Carnegie Institution at Wash
lngton. department of economies and
sociology, takes up the theories or Ed
ward Pearson Pressey and Rollin
Lyndc Hart,
Pressey regards the country
churches as hopeless and helpless and
thinks if there is any place for the
country church 1t must he greatly sup
plemented by an idcalistic system Of
| Industrial and domestic education.
Hart on the other hand, holds that
the country church should give place
to a social settlement with religious
features. combining the farm. factory,
cooperative store, library and bureau
Of social research and instruction, with
means Of religious instruction, some
thing after the manner OF the Church
settlement association OF New Hamp-
shire ut Elmwood near Concord.
A moments reflection will show that
instead Of endeavoring to show what
the country church needs, what will
build up ana strengthen 1t. these two
men try to show what should he sun
stitutcd for the struggling church in
rural districts. The same thing may
be said In part OF the belief Of the
Rev. Newell Dwight Hills of Brook
Ign, that the rural institutional cath
edral church ought to and will in time
take the place OF our country churches
in their ordinary form. The author
thinks, however, this plan is commend
able as there would seem to be great
practical wisdom in having a senior
preacher for expert leadership and his
assistant pastors and deaconesses for
more direct personal service TO the
most remote country neighborhood
and home.
| The writer of the article Is inclined
TO regard the rapid increase In our
communities of the Grange, the Youns
