The Starkville Advocate.

The Starkyille Advocate, a local
church publication edited by
Rev. WE. M. Brogal., pastor of
the Starkville Methodist Church.
made its appearance this week. 1t
is sprightly and well edited paper
devoted entirely to church matters
and should be in the home of every
church member in this section.
The editor has the following to say
in his salutatory.
A wide-awake and vigorous
press is essential to the prosperity
and growth of a religious denomi-
nation" is recent editorial utter
ance the truth of which none can
deny. Indeed, more powerful than
the DEGREES of kings and councils
is the influence of the press in
moulding the thought of men and
in shaping the policy of nations.
In every field of human endeavor,
of sharp competition, and of strife
for the survival of the best, no
Church or organization will dare
make it's appeal to the intelligence
of men without "a journal to voice
its sentiments and plead its cause. "
Nothing so powerfully affects the
interests of the Church, and no
voice so nightly pleads her cause
at the bar OF human reason and
interprets her mission to the world
of sinful men as the utterances of
the periodicals that bear her stamp
and which are in no improper sense
the measure of her strength.
What is true in the larger field
of the Church's activity is also true
in the narrower sphere of the pas
torate. The free use of printers
ink" has solved many of the per-
picking problems with which the
pastor long has wrestled. If the
PASTORS work is not worth the time,
trouble and expense of talking and
writing about it, the world quickly
concludes that it is of little value
after all. Information concerning
the work Of the Church, her claims
to prominence, and the authority
with which she backs these claims,
will make a convert where we least
expect such results The opposi-
ton to world wide evangelism dis
appears like mist before the rising
of the sun when the marvellous ar
ray of facts with which our mission
'ary history is replete is given to the
people. a.
The purpose of this LITTLE period
ical is to accomplish just such re-
suits. 1t is a medium of communi-
cation through which the pastor
hopes to bring before his people the
full meaning of all that is involved
in intelligent church membership.
There are countless calls of Divine
Providence that come to us as an
evangelical Churcb-calls upon the
obedience of which the perpetuity
of our life depends. No pastor.
whatever his method may be, can
communicate these calls to the
Church at large without tie aid of
some such medium as this paper
purports to be. Will it be asking,
then, too much of the splendid men

We believe that what this coun-

its material growth and prosperity,
is good, earnest, intelligent farm
ers. Certainly there are not
enough people engaged in this

who seem too we'll satisfied to buy
from the merchant, things that
ought to be raised on the farm.
The farmer who makes farming
his principal business, tends his
crops rain or shine, takes care of
his farming implements as things
of value and for which he has paid
his hard earned money, always has
full barn, fat smoke houses, rich

unusual independence.
