WITH THOSE WHO LABOR

BY D. v. FRANCIS

| ton. Fanatics may see In this function
q dire portent, but the vast mass Of
English people behold 1t unmoved. and
the majority can even bring themselves
to extend kindly sympathy to the
great efforts and sacrifices by which
their Romanist fellow-subjects have
brought this great work to Its con-
cluslon. The "no-popery'' spirit by which
England was dominated-not without
reason--for 200 years after the reforna-
ton, has died out with the causes from
which 1t sprang. The sectarian passions
jealouses and fears of the nth century
have happily passed away-not from
England alone, but from all the world.
They have some queer ideas Of Amer
lea on the other side. For instance, an
English paper recently spoke of DR.
Aked of Mr.. Rockefellers chapel, New
York"
The Fifth Avenue Baptist church of
which DR.. Aked Is pastor Is one Of the
largest churches in the United States.
Referring to its recent observations
with regard to long pastorates and the
qualifications on the part of the minis
ter which contributes to make such pas
torates possible the Examiner (Baptist)
points out that "the church has share,
and a very important share, In the mat
ter. Some churches seem to be constitu-
tionally restless. They are never salts
fed with things az they are.
They worry one pastor out of the field,
and before his successor Is fairly set
tied in his place they begin in unhal-
lowed process of unsettlement again. SO
that the unfortunate incumbents resem-

their will Doubtless the fault Is some
times theirs that their stay Is so BRIEF
they haven't staying power; but this
cannot be true in every case. Some OF
the same pastors do really become set
tied with some less unstable church. Or
It may not be so much the fault of the
church itself as of a few-perhaps only
one even-of its members. Some little,
picayune popularity In the pastor-the
cut of his hair. an unfortunate gesture,
his manner of dress, 1t may be-disturbs
their equanimity. and forthwith they be-
gin an intrigue. usually entirely con-
temptible. to get rid of him. Many a
good man has been shouldered out of a
passionate by a handful OF dissatisfied
members, who, had he been able to re-
main, would have proved a treasure to
| the church and a blessing to the COM
munity. Very often 1t Is the pastor who
should remain and the intriguers who
should be shouldered out, or. at least,
elbowed into a corner and LEFT there to
sulk over defeated Vaccinations.
Now, we are not at all disposed to
put all the blame upon the churches for
short pastorates. Round pegs get Into
square holes, and there can be no real
comfort or success till the mistake Is
rectinsd. But that goodly share OF

"Going StaIe-
the Washington Herald.

From the Washington Herald.
The human machine has wonderful
capacity for work. Unhappily. neither
work nor the capacity for it are equally
distributed. Some of the human ma
chimes run at very high power; others
are sluggish, and some run down COM
pletly
But whatever the capacity of the ma
chine care must be taken of 1t, repairs
must be made, the proper fuel must be
furnished, and above all, the proper
amount of rest. Mans capacity is never
unlimited. and no matter how much re-
served energy may be stored up, oh how
tremendous may be the will power that
runs the machine. sooner or later a
breakdown will occur, when the whole
business has to be laid up for repairs or
rebuilding, with a corresponding loss of
time. money and accomplishment.
Summer vacations. for instance, were
invented for the purpose of taking that
ounce of prevention which is worth many
pounds of cure. At certain periods of tho
year every man feels like stretching his
limbs. He wants TO brush the cobwebs
out of his brain. and the only way to do
1t is to break away from business and
all mental and physical drudgery and
HE himself TO place of recuperatlon.
Going stale is one of the symptoms
of the human machines need of rest
and change How often one hears the
phrase! Work that we found so easy to
do last week seems an awful grind to-
day. The preacher, for instance doesn't
seem to be able to get down to his
weekly sermon; his power to interest his
congregation seems slipping from him.

upon this as an evidence of waning
powers. He is simply going stale" tenn

In far too many cases is a fact too well
known for gainsaying.
Then, too, many churches are at

A statewide movement to prevent the
exhibition of moving pictures Of ''im-

Christian Endeavor union Of Missouri
The crusade embraces all films which
depict what are called demoralizing

robberies and prixefghts. 1t is proposed
to put the ban on 'spooning' scenes
and any that depict kissing by any but
relatives or the married.
The Congress of st. Louis Societies of
Christian Endeavor provided for the ap
pointment of committee of five to carry
on the fight here. The committee waited
upon the mayor, members Of the police
board, and asked that an ordinance be
passed prohibiting the exhibition of pic

New York, July 30-(Special. mo phase
OF the religious movement of the world
is Of more lively interest just now than
the missionary work being done all over
the world, more especially in the far
east.
Since the Protestant churches took up
tho work of the evanSelization OF the
world there has never perhaps been
time when foreign missions have en-
gagged SO large share of the attention
Of the churches.
Among the delegates to the recent
worlds missionary conference at Edin-
burgh was Bishop Herbert Roots of the
missionary diocese Of Hankow, China.
Bishop Roots, who has been stationed
in China for IA years. is now here and
will remain in this country for several
months to attend the general convention
Of Protestant Episcopal missions to be
held in Cincinnati In the latter part Of
October.
In speaking Of the present conditions
in China Bishop Roots said that In his
opinion the evidences of resentment In
China against the foreign invasion are
due to the growth of national and pa
triotic spirit.
"rhe Chinese realize their. weaknesses
when 1t comes to negotiating with for
eign nations" said he, and for this
reason they view the foreign invasion
with suspicion.
The recent trouble in Changsha, the
capital of Human province. was not
caused by resentment against foreign
ers. Famine conditions formed the pri-
mary reason and a second cause was in
dustrial trouble among native builders.
Some outside builders came to construct
houses at Changsha and the local men
didn't like the idea

1t was reported from Glendale farms,
eleven miles northwest of the city, this
morning that twenty sheep had been

second flock that has been attacked by
dogs in the last two weeks. and It is
believed that the dogs were the same
in both instances.

people in the neighborhood would bet

offered a reward of $25 for proof as
to whose dogs are guilty.

were kept and killed quite a number.
