Motive In Church Going.

The conception of church service
as an occasion for promoting the in
terchange of social courtesies is very
prevalent. although 1t certainly
places on low level the whole Idea
Of the motive of church attendance
and OF public worship. says the I'm
iontown News STANDARD. 1t is based
on the theory that the church is a
social club and that In attending its
services one has a right to keep In
view how he may be received and
treated by its members. Should one
allow his church going to be infiuenc-
ed by the social attention or lack of
It which is shown by him by those
who compose the congregation?
1t was evidently this social side Of
the question that recently led the
Ladies' Home Journal to send a
woman on an experimental tour
through the churches in New York
city, and to publish the results of her
experience. Her reception in some
churches was cordial. in others chill
ly, and her personal treatment form
ed the basis of her judgment of the
church services.
This incident leads the New York
Outlook to indulge in some we'll de-
served criticism relative to the mo-
tive of church attendance. and DIFF
ference between the desire to wor-
ship and that of seeing how you are

going to be treated by others in at
tendance. It thinks that IL the
Home Journals woman had gone to
church TO hear the truth. IL she had
gone to worship God. she would not
have been greatly concerned wheth-
er she was warmly or colby receiv.
ed. She did not so to listen or to
worship. She went to see whether
people would pay attention to her
old clothes. Would not most re-
spectacle poor people spurn as an In
trusion and an impertlnence any ac-
ton based on the assumption that
they go to church for the purpose OF
securing attention? Is 1t proved, in
deed, by this test that any poor
woman who should go to any OF
these churches to ask plainly for as
sistance would not receive It?
The outlook concludes that the
only way by which American Protest
ant churches can Justly declare that
such criticism as is involved in this
journalistic visitation Is undeserved
will be by making clear that their
purpose is not to provide social en-
tertainment of any kind through
their religious services, but rather
to give to the community and to all
who desire 1t the opportunity for
hearing the truth and for worship
ing the Eternal.
And while this is true. and while
the churches should emphasize wor-
ship rather than social consIdera-
tons as the chief purpose of as.
sembling together, they could In
crease their hold upon the masses
and strengthen their influence for
good by showing themselves more
friendly and by extending a warmer
welcome to all who come, regardless
of the kind of clothes they wear or
the social circle in which they move.

COTTON GOES DOWN FROM ] ID 8 POINTS But May Maintains a Premium
 Over July PLAN TO TAKE UP TENDERS The Opening Is at Decline on Lower cables-New Orleans Receipts
 Heavy, But Exports Are
 So,ooo Bales Heavier.
PLAN TO TAKE UP TENDERS

New York. April 22-The cotton mar ket was rather less active today and fluctuations were narrow and irregular, with the close steady at a net decline of 3 to points. Sales for the day were es- timated at 150,o0O bales.
 The opening was steady at a net de- cline of to points in response to lower Liverpool cables and a rather better weather map than had been loked for. owing to further rains in the southwest But offerings were light and there was a sharp demand for the near months on which prices rallied to within point or two or Saturdays close soon after the opening.
 Later the market sagged off in the ab- sence of a broadening demand, but May held a premium of about to 3 points the opening figures prices held pretty steady during the afternoon. The close was at practically the lowest point of the session under scattering liquidation. or realizing by buyers or last week
 The decline in Liverpool futures was attributed to American selling, which was believed to be undoing straddles and the buying of May here early was cred ited to the same account. The first May notice day comes on Friday and the strength of that position suggests that the concentrated long interest in planning to take up all cotton rendered
 The New Orleans estimate for tomor- row was rather heavy. but exports for the day were nearly 5000 bales heavier than the port receipts, and frost was again predicted for Northern Texas and the territories, while there were reports that replanting would be necessary in Mississippi.
 Southern spot markets were unchanged to iAc higher.
 Receipts at the ports today were 1274s bales, against 13,216 last week and 17294 last year. For the week, 75,o00, against s. 195 last week and s4.544 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans, 43s0, against 4674 last year and at Houston 145o, against 1870 last year.

WRECK AT cALERA.
caboose of Freight Is Turned Over By
 Passenger Train.

Calera, April 22.-(SpeclaL)-A slight wreck occurred here this morning at the crossing of the Louisville and Nashville and Southern railroad tracks The ca- boose of freight train on Southern was badly wrecked by No. 1 passenger train on Louisville and Nashville. The caboose caught fire and would have burned had 1t not been for Conductor Mooreland with his crew, who promptly put the fire out before 1t gained headway. No one was hurt.
 The engine of No. 1 passed over the crossing and the mail coach struck the caboose, completely turning 1t over. It seems that Engineer Wiggins of the Southern train, crossed over the Louis vile and Nashville tracks and after the freight train stopped the whole train slacked back so as to get In way of No. 1 passenger train of the Louisville and Nashville. If 1t had not been running slow more serious wreck might have oc- cured.

Berlin. April 22.-The economic commit tee, composed Of thirty agriculturists, manufacturers and business men from all parts of the empire met at the ministry of the interior today to consider the pro- longation of the tariff arrangement with the United States The majority of the committee Is composed of agrarians and large manufacturers, who take the ground that 1t Is unjust to extend to the United States, the most favored nation, treat ment on tine basis offered and that II the arrangements must be accepted a de- lay as long as possible Is better than its immediate aceeptande, in order to create the impression In the United States that the arrangement was adopted with great reluctance. and that the trade regulations between the United States and Germany rest on precarlous basis The eventual acceptance of the agreement, however, Is regarded as certain.
