CHURCHES, MINISTER'S AND CRITICS.

Commenting on the course of min
lister in a northern Iowa town who is
reported as having told his hearers
that "all the churches are going to
hell" an Iowa weekly suggests that
1T might be added that some preachers
are going that way, too
Both the preacher and the newspaper
are wrong in spirit. That some
churches have "petered OUT spiritually
and are inactive is true enough, but
the average church is reasonably wide
going TO hell however, and the
church building stands as a symbol
of the higher civilization and the bet
ter life. Some preachers go wrong. but
they are the occasional exceptions that
honest effort in the ministry.
The gatherings at the church build
ing are never in the interests of the
devil and his work. Good intentions
wrap the church as with garment.
The clergy as a mass and as indivd-
uals may at times follow mistaken
ideas and inexpedient methods of re-
form, but they are Invariably seeking
higher level of human life
Let us as preachers, individuals and
newspapers be slow TO criticise men
and organizations that are working to-
ward splendid ideals in religion and

~ LOST BLACKBIRDS.
(Alden Tines)

A pair of blackbirds, who should
have gone to a warmer climate along
early in November, have been making
their headquarters since Saturday
January 10 in the feed barn at the
Joseph Thompson home in Buckeye
township. On that date, during the
blizzard storm which seemed bad
enough for little time and threatened
to be worse, the birds flew into the
yard from somewhere and have been
getting their living there ever since.
1t seems evident the birds got lost
from their flock somehow in the mi
grafton southwark and when they
found themselves overtaken by real
winter they concluded to tie up to
the shore and see if they could live it
thru The members of the Thompson
family have taken quite an interest in
the pair and will do what they can to
make life easy for them during the
balance of the cold period
