State Adds Poultry Course.

Columbia, Mo-, Dec. The Missouri
College of Agriculture will shortly
open course in poultry husbandry.
F. B. Mumford, dean of the college,
announced that F. H. Stoneburn,
professor of poultry husbandry in
Storr's Agriculture College, Of Con-
necticut, has been engaged to give a
three weeks course, beginning Feb
ruary IL. This is preliminary to the
opening of the regular course in the
college here.
THE poultry products of this State
are worth $50, 600, 600 annually, which
is five times the value of the dairy
products, said Dean Mumford. II
think this gives the poultry industry
at least equal rank with animal hus-
bandry and dairying.

Why Men Don't go to Church.

Why Men Don't go to Church.
Lsslis's Weekly.
The only part of the United States
where people go to church as they
used to is in the South, where social
customs and habits Of thought have
undergone least change.
Some probably hold the poorer
preaching of to-day responsible for
the empty pews. But it should be
remembered that better preaching is
demanded now than formerly. There
is not so great difference as once
there was between the intellectual
attainments of pulpit and pew, and
the preacher is no longer the oracle
he once was of the community. There
are, too, a vast number Of social and
humanitarian agencies outside the
church, and with very many these
interests supplant the claim Of the
church. Even the Sunday School,
called the fright arm" of the church,
has in a way worked against church
attendance. In the minds Of many
parents Sunday School takes the place
of church for their children. So we
do not find the children in the pews
with their parents Sunday morning,
as was once the custom. And when
the child gets to the age when he
drops Sunday school, not having pre-
viously gone to church, he has no
church-going habit. This, in connec-
ton with weak and superficial home
training, is not conductive to church
support.
Yet these, after all, are in a way
but superficial excuses. AT the root
of il all is a declining sense Of God
and of personal accountability to him.
The claim of God upon every life and
the duty to honor him in the worship
OF the church must be pressed home
upon mems consciences. The pulpit
must cease trying to excuse men for
failure. Let them face the situation
as a business man would do, and let
them fearlessly call upon the people
to respond to the claim of God.
