The Summer Preaching Problem.

The Summer Preaching Problem.
Des Moines Tribune: Again the
ministers have to deal with the ever
lasting question whether to preach or
not to preach in hot weather. One of
them has given a rather sharp answer
in referring to others who abandoned
their regular service at this season as
towards. He believes. in fighting
the devil just as vigorously when it is
hot as when it is cold, and he said
SO III one of his sermons yesterday, in
which he INDUCED in severe criticism
of his brothers of the ministry. The
word coward is rather hard, be-
cause the average minister wrestles
bravely with the problem of doing the
best thing he can to keep up interest
in church work through the summer
season. But at the same time, there
is something wrong somewhere when
the millions of dollars invested in
church property in city like Des
Moines Is allowed to stand almost idle
and religiously unproductive for many
weeks every year. Church structures
should be for use, summer and winter.
If sermon preaching will not get the
best service out of them in the sum
mer time, then some other way should
be found for making them of service
| to mankind.

BOYS WHO LEAVE SCHOOL,

Writing in the North American Re-
view. Mr. Owen r. Loyejoy. general
secretary of the National Child Labor
committee, gives the estimate of a
leading educator that there are 5,000,-
600 deserters from the army of 90
100000 public school children in the
United States. In Massachusetts
alone are $4,000 children between fonr-
teen and sixteen not in school, five
sixths OF whom did not complete the
grammar school course, one-fifth did
not complete the seventh grade, and
one-fourth did not complete the sixth
grade. The Massachusetts commits
sion found that these children seldom
receive over IS week before they
are seventeen, and reach the maxi
mum wage of So to $40 at twenty
! years of age. 1t is estimated that for
every one going into an occupation
advantageous to the employe, four en-
ter a cotton mill or become messen-
L gers or cash girls. Moreover. it is
said to be rare that one goes from an
unskilled to skilled trade. Out OF
the fifty cases between seventeen ant
twenty years of age employed il
skilled industries in Cambridge, onl,
one had formerly been employed il
Iunskilled labor other than errand an,
office work Boys were rarely foun,

CHRISTIAN UNION AT EolnBuRe.

CHRISTIAN UNION AT EDlNBURG.
Much was expected OF the World
Missionary Conference at Edinburg,
Scotland. and much is being realized
The specific purposes for which the
gathering was called are unquestion-
ably being advanced. AS result OF
the conference there will be not only
an increase of missionary zeal and
energy, but also a more judicious and
systematic operation of forces, and
we are not sure but the latter will not
be the more profitable achievement OF
the two. The annals of missionary
work are replete with records OF hero
ism, but they are also in places mark
ed by lack of economy and of discre-
tion and by waste Of energy in the
duplication of efforts or in rivalry
where there should be cooperation.
On another respect, as the New
York Tribune says. perhaps unexpect-
ed to most of its members, the con-
ference has already resulted in one
benefit of great importance-namely,
the extraordinary utterance in favor
of Christian union which was made
few days ago, extraordinary alike IN
character and in source. 1t was not
able thing for a great prelate OF the
Roman Catholic communion, Monsig-
nor Bonomelli to write such a letter,
or. indeed, any letter to such gath
ering for while he urged strongly the
union of all Christians in a single
faith and a single church, he frankly
recognized the fact that there are at
present various Christian denomina-
lions which are entitled to be called
churches, apart from the Church OF
Rome, and which are invested with
ecclesiastical validity and authority
That recognition, in view OF the atti-
tude held by many Roman prelates
toward non-Roman churches, or OF the
conception of their attitude which is
widely cherished, is singularly signih-
cant and encouraging.
OF much interest and value also
was the same prelate's argument in
the same letter that the best way OF
achieving a union of Christians is by
their dwelling on points of agreement
rather than on points of difference
among them No advice. could be more
sane and practical than that. It is too
true that in the past religious propa
gandists have been inclined toward
controversy and have dwelt upon the
differences and contrasts between
their respective churches and others
Differences do of course exist, but SO
do agreements, and the latter are prob
ably the more numerous and the more
important. The hopeful thing, as
Monsignor Bonomelli wrote, is for
men of varying faiths to get together
for the pursuit of that religious truth
which is common to them all. In pro-
noting such concord and co-opera-
ton this conference will serve prac-
tical and profitable end, and one OF
the best contributions will have come
from this prelate who was not mem

DIVORCE IN IOWA.

Upon the motion of Judge Horace
E. Deemer, speaking for the law re-
form committee, the Iowa State Bar
association at its recent meeting in
Des Moines, unanimously adopt
ed resolution suggesting that
the legislature should pass an
act which shall provide for
the appearance of an attor-
ney on the part of the state in every
divorce case where a decree is to or
may be taken by default This attor-
ney is to cross examine the witnesses
and to introduce testimony, in order
that the court may pass upon the de.
PENDANTS side of the case as well as
that OF the party seeking the decree
1t was further suggested that, as a bar
to perjury, the testimony in every di
yorce case be taken by the stenogra
pher and preserved as a record.
In discussing the matter the Du
buque Times-Journal makes the point
that the adoption of Judge Deemer's
suggestion would do no harm, mol
would it be of great advantage in re
ducing the number of divorces. The
TT. argues that when no contest Is

him, in very large sense, about as

TIE SHORT BALLOT.

Winston Churchill has an article III /
the Boston Traveller on the short bal
lot, in which he says that during re-
cent European trip he became more
than ever convinced that the short
ballot movement is by far the most
hopeful and necessary of the proposed
political reforms in this country. He
cites the case of England, where ten
cities are thoroughly success
full democracies with the peo-
pie securely in the saddle.
The cities are governed by coun-
ellis elected from wards. Each ward
usually has three members but the
terms of office are SO arranged that
only one is elected at time. The re-
suit is that the people going to the
polling place on election day only
have to select one man. 1t is the SIM
plest and easiest matter imaginable.
The voters know exactly what they
are doing, and they do not have to
rely on politicians or party machines
for guidance. Mr.. Churchill continues:
/ 'In this country, on the contrary,
/ we select coroners, county clerks,
sheriffs. and host of other minor of
lficials that ought TO be appointive
Our voters on election day are called
upon to vote for SO many people that
! they either have to vote at random
or else rely blindly on party ma
chimes.
Unless public attention can be 70
Icused upon the man who stands fol
office, that man, when elected, is apt
to be an Indifferent or vicious publ,

WAIT PATIENTLY FOR HIM.
God doth not bid thee wait,
To disappoint at last;
A golden promise, faint and great,
In precept mold is cast.
Soon shall the morning gid
The dark horizon rim.
Thy hearts desire shall be fulfilled,
Wait patiently for him.
Thy weary waiting times
Are but the muffled fields
Low precluding celestial chimes
That hail His chariot wheels;
Trust Him to tune thy voice
To blend the seraDhim;
His Wait shall issue in Rejoice .
Wait patiently for Him.
He doth not bid thee wait
Like driftwood on the wave,
For tickle chance or fixed fate.
To ruin or to save
Thine eye snail surely see
No distant hope or dini-
The Lord thy God arise for thee.
Wait patiently for Him
