NEW YORK AND THE CHURCH.


New York, the center of shriveled
localism of the world, is beating a
new tom-tom. The cry now going up
from Manhattan isle Is that the days
of the church are numbered.
Look about you and behold" the
New Yorker admonishes. And look
ing about in New York one sees com
mercialsm deified
Golden calves have been raised be-
fore, and the New Workers are not
the first people who ever bent the
knee to mammon.
But the alarm from New York is
not worthy OF a polite reception,
says the Fort Worth Telegram. Re-
ligion is manifestation of belief
in God. Churches are but groups of
people who interpret His word as
the light is given. And God is love-
When one is hemmed in by piles
of burnt mud and mountains of steel
that rest upon rocks below the sur
face of the earth and are raised so
high that the streets and avenues ap-
pear as canyons, the environment Is
not calculated to inspire reverential
thought
These temples of commerce are
wonderful temples. But they are man
made and they are consecrated to
serve the ends of man alone.
Back to Nature" may now be
phrase worn threadbare. But 1t is
freighted with wholesomeness. Ye
affrighted men of New York leave
your packed place for a while, go
into the woods, the mountains, Or the
plains and you will find that they
who dwell where the forces of men
are not forever in battle with the
forces of nature are still carrying
the banner of Peace on earth, good
will to men" aloft. They will be car
rying it when your monster buildings
that pierce the sky have crumbled to
earth and are no more.
And from those who draw their
strength from nature undefiIed We
men of New York We can learn that
the message of promise and the sign
of hope and | say also unto thee,
that thou art Peter, and upon this
rock I will build my church, and the
gates of hell shall not prevail against
it,, is still read with joy by the tens
of thousands who believe
More inspiring edifices than are
now to be found in New York have
been builded and have crumbled;
graver fears for the future of the
church of God than are now enter
tanned by the New Workers have
found lodgment in the breasts of
those now gone and forgotten, and
more shrill cries of stop, pause and
behold have been heard than are
now coming from New York since
the tempest was stilled by this COM
mand and the temple was scourged
of those who were pollutng it, yet
the forces of faith, hope and charity,
of love and of belief have never hal
ted.
New York should stick to decry-
ing her dirty politics, her salacious
scandals and her vulgar displays of
wealth. The future of the church of
God is in the hands of God and He
has given His promise and He will
keep it.

AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS

Little by little Texas is getting
out of the old ruts and into the
broad macadamiZed highway OF
progress. In no way is this better IL
Illustrated than in the advance that
is being made in agricultural meth
DDS.
The following simple little story
in the Timpson Times illustrates the
growth of knowledge in agriculture,
and the results that are being shown
by modern methods:
y. NJ Brown brought to the
Times Office today several samples of
corn to show how he killed" his
land. He worked one piece under the
direction of the government demon
stration agent, giving it deep plow-
ing in the preparation Of the land
which some of his neighbors said
would ruin his land
An adjoining plot he planted and
worked in the same way he has been
accustomed to work all his life. The
same kind of seed was planted on
both plots, that on the old-fashioned
way plot being planted a week ear
lier.
The two ears off the ground
planted the old way were about six
or eight inches long, and the stalks
burned almost to the tassel The
corn worked according to the inten-
sive way stood the drouth much bet
ter and made ears nearly twice as
large as the other.
Mr.. Brown says he intends to
kill all his land the same way next
year. Beaumont Enterprise.
