Preachers own Fault

Silver Joe Konkel Of the Superior
Leader Clarion usually talks in plain
unvarnished words-and sometimes
tells some homely truths. Speaking
of why men don't 90 to church, he
says:
A local preacher was bewailing the
fact that men do not attend church.
| told him that it was his own fault,
or, rather, that it was the fault OF
the preachers themselves. He said
he knew it, and stated that he was
unable to suggest remedy-tEat he
didn know how to remedy the fault.
The great trouble with most
preachers is that they are not prac-
tical men. They fail TO grasp the
spiritual and material needs of those
about them. Their preaching, Oft
times, is neither practical nor sensi-
BILE.
Men get almighty tired of listening
to what happened two thousand
years ago, or what is liable to hap
pen in the next world. The thing
that concerns the average man is
what is transporting right now.
What are the needs of the day, the
hour? How should men live, and
what should they do to better pre-
seat conditions, morally, socially,
educationally. and otherwise? Oh,
for more practicable sermons from
the pulpit. Oh, for men who under
stand men. who know their imme-
date needs andswho are able to give
them practicable ADVICE on the pre-
sent now. As | said in the erst-
while, men do not care to hear about
the "things that were" all the time.
Neither do they care to hear about
the things that are to be, in the
next world They like to hear about
the things that are. and the things
that ought to be-. in this world. Go
into any Protestant church in Su-
perior, and what do you see-not
less than 20 women to every man.
Millinery in every direction. Moth
ing but women's hats. Where are
the men2 Why are they not at
church? Simply and solely because
the average preacher has failed to
reach them-has failed to get next
to them. The fault is not with the
men.

The UnknOWn Dead

Here are some interesting
statistics concerning the dead
soldiers of the war: There
are 81 national cemeteries,
concerning 32I, TO soldiers,
nearly one-half Of whom are
classified as unknown. F"
Twenty-one Of these burial
spots contain over 5000
bodies each, among them the
famous cemeteries at Victc-
burg and Corinth, in Mississ-
ippi. At Salisbury, N. c.,
out of total of 1912, only
81 are ''known."
At AndersOnville and
Hampton, Va, more than
nine-tenths are identified.
At the Soldiers Home,
Washington, nineteen-twen
tieths and at the cemeteries
at st. Augustine, Fla, and
Battle Ground, d. c., all are
identified.
The largest interments are
at Vicksburg, where there
are 16,62O of the dead. At
Nashville, 16, $50 are buried.
The smallest national GENE
terry is at Beverly, N. j., and
contains only 164.
So they lie together, the
known and the unknown,
under long rows of headstones
ranked and scared as when
they fell fighting.

New cement walks are Icing laid
by Contractors Moore and Johnson
in front of the Commercial Club
building. The walks are being laid
six feet in width which is contrary
to the amendment as passed at the
last meeting of the council. The
committee in charge of the work
thought it would damage the shade
trees along the avenue to have the
walks built wider.
Those owning fruit trees should
not forget that it is to their own
interest and also others, TO spray
the trees as soon as possible if they
have not already done so. Disease
germs to the trees are as bad as con
tagious germs to persons and if one
case is neglected the surrounding
trees become infected and soon
spreads the germs very rapidly. 1t
is q matter that should not be neg
lected.
