PROHIBITION AND POLITICS.

and the prohibition question appears on the sur

over the nomination of a candidate for governor.

although the Georgian says that concerning the
prohibition question there is no difference be-

Bv this act the Georgian declares that the Anti

at the same time has "telephoned for the under

The Georgian's opposition to the Hon. Hoke
Smith whom the league indorsed, may be owing

the Georgian is clear. Some of the temperance
people who supported the league in its work do
not favor Mr. Smith They are not unit on any
question that does not directly concern prohibi-

partisan politics The Georgian remarks that IT

DR.. AKEp,s ADVICE no PREAcHERs.

H RESH from lis pulpit triumphs in England,
\ Rev. Charles f. Aked, the new pastor of
prominent Baptist church in New York, gives
some advice about pulpit preaching in these days
He thinks the decline in church attendance" is
due to the alleged fact that the preachers are not
in touch with the times. Some of the ministers,
DR.. Aked believe, have become the Laughing
stock" OF the people The preachers should wake
up, he thinks
DR.. Aked has other complaints about the gen
eral slowness of the ministry. Many of his crit-
cisms have been heard for generations Diff
ferent conceptions are taken of the duties of the
ministers. If the church is regarded as a forum
from which topics Of the day are discussed and the
minister is to vent his views upon them, probably
DIR. Aked's criticism has good foundation. Many
persons want these Give, up-to-date" sermons.
Others do not
Were the pulpit generally to follow DR. Aked's
suggestions doubt if church attendance would
be permanently increased. Some people enjoy an
orator who discusses Give topics" in an ethical
or a sensational manner, with hints of a dainty
sort of religion thrown in but in the end such
efforts play out unless the preacher be very pow
erful. And all preachers could not aspire to great
ability any more than all lawyers and other pub
lie speakers could be oratorica Bryans.
Again most people have their appetites for ad-
vice on live topics" satisfied in other directions
In fact, outside of the churches there is so much
general advice and talk going on that the man in
the street terms great deal of it "hot air" We
fear II all the preachers, or most of them, were
to heed Dr. Aked's advice and try to be "up-to-
date in everything, many of them would gain
regulations as expounders of "hot air"
In fact IN some churches, where the sermon is
not the feature Of the service but merely an incl
dent, and where thS$tuastic service and not
the sermon is the feature and where the sermons
are simple but earnest exhortations on the Gospel.
there is little complaint Of a falling off in church
attendance.

ROYALTY IN SOCIALISM.

me Of the "parlor Socialists" the Duchess

Now that royalty proposes to assist the
propaganda in America, Mr. Zimmerman and
others of his kind in Ohio will take notice of the
doings of the Fabian Socialists.
The Socialists of Ohio seem to welcome this
profered assistance of the duchess and the count

lists will look askance at their approach. They
want the Socialist movement to be solely a move

BY Rev. c. T. Wyatt, D. D.

Jesus emphasizes the willingness ard
eagerness Of our Heavenly Father 70
give good gifts to His children. He
appeals to the parents who by natural
affection are led to give gifts to their
children.
He asks: What man is there of
YOU. whom If his son ask break. will
he give him a stone? Or If he ask q
fish, win he give him a serpent?
To give a child a stone for bread,
a serpent for a fish would be cruel
moczery-Jesus asks, would a parent
deceive his child or withhold from Kim
the necessities Of life? Fish and bread
stand for necessities. God has put
into the parental bosom a compass
sionate disposition to supply the
child's needs. and the parent who re-
fuses to do this would be untrue to
his nature. A failure on the part OF
the parent to give the child good things
is due to limitations.

Editorial Opinion
The Back Yard Question

iHe DaCk IdFQ QucSIlou
Atlanta Georgian.
At this season Of the year the most
important of the annual domestic du-
ties is a general cleaning-up of the
back yard. 1t Is a duty not only to
the family, but TO the immediate
neighbors and the entire neighborhood.
No doubt the cluster Of trash that has
accumulated during the winter months
contains a menace to the health of the
family and most assuredly it is an
offense to those who have to see 1t
daily.
By cleaning up the back yard now,
II will relieve both the mind and con-
science of a task that must be per-
formed sooner or later, and the prompt
performance will bring not only the
satisfaction that comes Of doing R's
duty, but will also provide a more
pleasant view of perhaps a whole
block of residents.
There is very little sentiment in the
back yard question. 1t is purely a
practical issue, an issue of health or
unwholesomeness Germs Of disease
