CHURCH ATTENDANCE
By Koheleth.

By Koheleth.
cannot one be a good Christian
without attending church? This is
question that is often asked and
should receive consideration. II the
Christian life is primarily the rela-
tlon of the individual to the Master,
what necessary relation church at
tendance has to it does not appear
on the surface. Good as church at
tendance may be, it does seem pos
sible for one to be Christian with
out it.
But let us turn the question in
side out. Cannot one be a good
business man without attending his
store? Cannot one be a good pro-
fessional man without attending his
omcef Cannot one be good work
man without attending his shop?
cannot one be a good scholar with
out attending the school? Nor are
tnese questions SO absurd as they
appear, for it is quite within the
bounds OF possibility to be any one
OF these things without doing any
one OF the accompanying things
while the latter are all quite desir-
able In their place, they are not
strictly necessary. And so the spec
iousness of the question with which
we started is seen.
Granted that 1t may be possible
for one to be good Christian with
out attending church, nevertheless
1t may be highly improbable. If one
were denied the privileges Of church
attendance, II for some reason II
should be impossible, then the aues-
ton would have a real meaning. and
has already received its answer. But
when asked simply to Justify care.
less, neglectful attitude toward the
| Christian church, it does not reveal
any great sincerity of life.
AS one courts success In the vari-
GUS walks in life, it is customary to
attach oneself to that institution
which stands for the end desired
The only institution In any commu-
nifty standing for the spiritual life is
the Christian church. For one Ia
become proficient in the spiritual
life, one should be connected with
the community's spiritual reservoir,
the church of Christ To insure
success not only should one attend
the services OF the church-one
should ultimately become a member
thereof. 1t is there that may be
learned more OF the Master whom
one would serve, it is there that may
be found others who will help one
to success, it is there that the atmos-
phere will be found most congenial
to spiritual development.
There are many kinds of love, as
many kinds of light,
And every kind of love makes q
glory in the night.
There is love that stirs the heart
and love that gives 1t rest,
But the love that leads life upward

Wireless telegraphy has hundreds

REVOLT AGAINST KING COTTON.

Cotton is no longer King of South
ern Crops. He has been superseded
by fruit, by alfalfa, by corn, by gar
den truck" by dairy cows, hogs and
by goats. His deposition means that
the South is raising its own food
instead of buying 1t In the North.
Just how this revolution. has been
brought about is entertainingly told
by Carl Crow in the Van Norden
Magazine for February. Diversified
ton of crops, the watchword of sci
ence, was the underlying cause and
how well it has succeeded is mani
fest by the fact that in the ten lead
ing cotton-growing stated the acreage
given to corn alone is far ahead of
that in which cotton is the main crop
with all the others uncounted.
Science led the way and legisla-
tion has aided in this campaign
against King Cotton's rule. The cot
ton crop depends to great extent
upon the labor of children and 1t is
hoped by some to make an imme-
diate reform in farming conditions by
compulsory education. Force the
planter to send his children to school
and he will be compelled to curtail
his cotton crop because he will be
unable to care for it. The Farmers
union, an organization affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor, is
active in the support of this move
ment. The membership of the body
is made up OF cotton farmers, and
its chief object is to secure. a better
price for cotton. They tried legis-
lation and an elaborate system of
holding their cotton for certain
price, but neither of these artificial
schemes has been of any great
benefit.
The Live-at-Home club is another
now being formed which
has diversification of crops for it's
aim. Each member of the club
pledges himself to raise on his farm
everything that he needs for his
table.
These are the bloodless weapons
being used against King Cotton in
the rapidly spreading revolution. 1t
is bound to succeed. 1t is of vastly
more Importance than the noisy rev.
olutions which change geographical
lines and elevate political opportu-
nists to power. It will mean more
bread In the mouths of 10000, 900
people, more children in the schools,
and end the bondage OF mortgaged
crops.

CHARGED WITH ELECTRICITY.

From observations at SlmIa, In
dia, DR.. G. c. Simkson has concluded
that more than three times as much
positive as negative electricity is
brought down by rain, and that the
positive electricity of snow is still
greater, being perhaps four times as
much as the negative.
Light rain is more heavily charged
than heavy rain, but the heavier the
rainfall the more likely 1t is to be
positively charged
These results we're hardly expect
ed. as negative electricity seems to
be always passing into the air from
the earth.

YOUNG AMERICA AN

Never in the history of the coun-
try have so many boys and girls been
interested in practical scientific and
mechanical inventions and expert
ments, writes F. w. Splint In the

From coast to coast, from the Lakes
to the Gulf, come reports OF achieve
ments that are positively astounding.
The records Of the patent ONCE
show that during the last year many
boys and girls, from IL to 20 years
OF age, applied for and received let
ters OF patent on a variety of inven-
tions ranging from a corn-husker 10
a new signalling device for which the
young inventor refused $4,000.
OF course. the early training that
the modern boy receives does much
to stimulate his inventive faculties.
Manual training is now taught in

The bank is finished and earning
money for its owners. The court
house is trailing along at the same
old non-union gait. The Union
Pacific building will be completed
before the court house is our

HATTIE LEBLANC
NOT GUILTY SAYS
JURY
Young Girl Acquitted Of Killing
Clarence Glover
JURY OUT ONLY AN HOUR
Judges Charge Strongly Favored
Prisoner and Called Attention TO
Conflicting Testimony

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 14.-Eattie
lie Blanc, the little Cape Breton girl,
who has been on trial here for the
murder of Clarence Glover, the Wal
than laundryman, was this morning
acquitted by the jury which delibera-
ted on its verdict only an hour.
Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 14.-The
fate of Hattie lie Blanc who has been
on trial since November 2S for the
murder of Clarence F Glover, was al
most in the hands of the jury when
the court suddenly adjourned yester-
day afternoon.
The jurors listened yesterday to
two earnest appeals. First Melvin NJ
Johnson, the senior counsel for the
defendant, in an impassioned address
which lasted four hours, begged the
jury TO send Hattie lie Blanc back to
her home in the fishing hamlet OF
West Arlchat for joyous Christmas.
Then District Attorney John ]. Hig-
gins more calmly but no less earnest
ly, declared that the girl, ripened into
| woman by her life at the Glover
home. had gone willingly to the laun-
ulg Win 1iONci dl utSll anu luClC
! shot him to death. A quarrel with
Glover, he said, furnished the mo-
tive. He disclaimed any desire to
convict the girl merely for the sake
of conyicting some one.
Much of what Judge Bond had TO
say was distinctly favorable to the
defendant, especially that bearing on
the question of whether the girl had
the courage and the ability to use for
the first time revolver that required
the grasp of good sized hand and
the knowledge how to release safe
ty attachment. He said that the gov
eminent had not shown that Hattie
lie Blanc had ever used such a weap-
on, while on the other hand, Mrs.
Glover, the widow, did know how TO
use one. He pointed out conflicting
statements made by witnesses con-
corning both Mrs. Glover and her at
torney, s. ID. Elmore and urged the
jury to give the girl the benefit OF
any reasonable doubt.
