FUNCTIONS OF THE PULPIT.

While a great deal Of attention has
been given In recent years to the de-
velopment Of church work along phil
anthroplc lines, with admirable re-
sults-it is felt by many people that
the pulpit has not adapted itself so
well TO modern demands.
The churches are now full Of laymen
who have had educational advantages
as good as those which are clergy en-
Joy, II not better-and these men often
complain that the preaching is weak
or evasive. Some of the clergy seem
unwilling to handle the questions rails
ed by empirical science-historica
criticism-and the comparative study
of religions.
Both inside the church and outside
there are thousands OF people who are
not highly educated-but are famil-
lar with the new views Of the scien-
lists and the claims OF radical stu
dents Of religion. These views are
widely disseminated by the press, and
books which reach immense editions
These ministers frequently condemn,
without pointing out why-or explain
ing the errors.
In a recently published address
which he delivered at Hartford theolo-
gical seminary woodrow
Wilson OF Princeton points out in un-
sparing terms the faults Of the preach
ers in this respect. The chief func-
tion Of the pulpit-according to DR..
Wilson'S to coordinate the masses
Of knowledge that have been piled up
Ito find the spiritual meanings-and
to help men to see as much as possible
Of "the plan of life"
To illustrate the need, DIR. Wilson
tells of an uneducated woman who got
hold Of one OF Darwin's books and
found in 1t what to her was a great
revelation-an explanation of the plan
Of physical existence. She told friend
that it had taken out fall the kick
there was in her" She was impressed
with the wonder of life--and with her
own part in it-as no preacher had
ever impressed her.

Why NOT GO TO cHuRcHr

In a more or less sensational sermon
an eastern minister discussed the
Value Of Church going. He cited a
number OF reasons for non-church at
tendance. Among those reasons, he
said, were urged, the churchs lack Of
interest in the laboring mans problem
the coldness and formality of
churches-the lack of the message for
the masses-the need Of rest and re-
creation, etc.
These are all familiar and we'll
worked reasons" and will be readily
as more or less cogent But
in addition to these, and among the
causes less frequently mentioned,-he
cited 'the inordinate desire for pleas
cultivation Of the sensual-the
selffshness which thinks only OF the
material-and the indifference to the
privileges of the intellectual and the
spiritual" He sees one potent men
NSD III AAAp AOI .Opth
lay" for sports and general recrea-
tion--and none will gainsay the justice
of his indictment of the lowering ten
isncy Of the popular drama.
Doubtless the conclusion is more or
ess correct People whose minds are
not tempered by a serious bent will go
where they find the things that have
'or them the strongest attraction. Some
recognize this-and strive to
make their service, discourses, diver
'ions and philanthropic efforts conform
% this tendency-and as attractive as
possible to the unaflliated as well as
% their own members. When these
hings are attractive they will attract.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS.

Statements OF gross earnings from
the railroads during August are so far
superior to those Of August in 1908
and run so nearly 70 par with those
Of the swelling totals of August 1907
that 1t is almost the most hopeful
thing the country has yet seen.
In addition. four OF the big sys-
tems-including the Union Pacific, the
Southern Pacific. the Pennsylvania and
the New York Central--displayed in
July last the best earnings in their
whole history. Their August returns
are not yet fully reported--but it is
easy to conclude from their weekly
reports that they win be comparatively
quite as good this year as last.
Railroad earnings are practically the
true barometer Of the country's con-
dition. If they are good, everything
else is good. They indicate primarily
that large crop is about to be moved
and secondarily that there is that
restored confidence among merchants
which produces back to the consum-
ing districts a large movement OF
freight for those who eat freight up.
Alone among all the crops. that of
cotton seems, under the government
report, to be about to fall below a
good average Of condition.
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1909-09-11

The latest government census falls
to bear out the current complaint over
the decay of religion. Nearly 40 per
cent of the population Of the United
States are members OF churches. When
deduction is made for children too
young to be communicates, the figures
are startlingly encouraging. This per-
centage is GA more than sixteen years
ago, nor is the favorable showing con-
fined to the Catholic population. More
than half the church members are
Protestants. One periodical remarks
with fatuous stupidity that the figures
show an unchurched population in the
United States outnumbering the church
population three to two. OF course the
report shows nothing of the sort.
Early in the last century one person
in twenty was communicant, in a
little over 100 years the Improvement
is two in FIVE. Church edifices have
increased in similar proportion. The
proportion Of men to women in the
churches is not as small as is popu-
1arly supposed. The figures are 4S per
cent men to 81 per cent women.
In the population Of church menu
bers In this country, the Catholics
number 12,079,000; the Methodists come
next with 5,750.0O0, the Baptists follow
with 5.662,0OO
Fifty laymen have signed call for
a laymen's evangelistic congress, to
consider how greatly multiplied
number of strong christian laymen may
be led to engage in personal effort for
the salvation of souls. No organiza-
tion is contemplated The meeting is
for Inspiration and direction. The call
has thus to say Of the big evangelistic
campaigns which is evidently consid-
ers open to criticism: These arc
necessary only because the christian
layman Is not doing his simple duty In
active evangelism all the year round,
and the large campaign can never
reach all: generally evangelism can.
The religious efforts Of laynlen have
recently been greatly extended in the
direction Of administration and social
regeneration. These activities are Of
inestinable value, but even such work
az this cannot take the place OF the
personal agency Of salvation.
The Biblical commission appointed
by the vatican some years ago has is
sued a report which is generally un-
derstood as allowing considerable
latitude III the investigation Of holy
scripture.

GETTING IT FIRST.


Recent matters Of worlds interest
have been SO regularly first printed In
Americas afternoon newspapers--as
against the morning papers-that the
comparative conditions become anew a
subject of comment.
AS The Forum has frequently be-
fore pointed out-under modern condi-
tions the afternoon papers have all the
best Of their morning contemporaries.
They are able to get the stun while it
is news" They get first crack at the
"big" things 1t is not because they
are more enterprising--b largely be-
cause the sun and the situation favor
them
From Greenwich to Fargo is about
seven hours. When anything of par
ticular note happens in Europe-the
American afternoon paper gets it to
the readers the same day.
Without recapitulating all OF the
many instances which might be shown
as demonstrating the effectiveness OF
the afternoon paper over the morning
publication within recent dates-it
might be mentioned that Bleriot's

FORUM BUILDING.

The new home for The Forum is
gradually looming up. The brick
masons are now making the third
story. Bowers Bros. have set various
dates upon which the new structure
will be ready for occupancy. Their
intentions are good-but sometimes
they get their dates mixed-or under
estimated.
They insist that The Forum family
can be safely housed in the new build
ing some time in October. The exact
date of the removal is unset. 1t doesn't
look like 1t can possibly be before
Nov. / and II may not be before Nov.
Is.
In any event The Forum hopes to
be in the new place by Nov. 1.-THE
anniversary OF its establishment.
The force has spent many hours
watching the slow progress being made
on the structure. The restricted quar-
ters in the present office makes a
change OF location highly desirable
and the day when the order is given
to march forth from the old into the
new-wi1l be welcome one.
The new building will have many
advantages and facilities not now at
the command Of The Forum-and
when the paper is moved, it will be
issued more satisfactorily. Contem-
plated improvements can then be
made.
The management and every one
connected with the publication is hop
ing for an early transfer.
