What About the M an Around
the Corner?

On certain Sunday last Fall l at
tended the morning service OF a
village church in an Eastern State.
At the close OF the sermon-a helpful
sermon-the pastor reminded his con-
gr egation of the barrel OF clothing
regularly sent at this time TO the poor
OF a city some fifty miles away.
| was inst a bit startled, because
have been accustomed to hear city
pastors remind their congregations of
barrels TO be sept 10 the poor Of viii
lagos. 1t had not occurred to me
that villages might be concerned
about the poor IN cities. | knew. OF
course, that cities whose churches are
sending barrels to villages have their
own desperately poor always with
them, aud | was in position to know
that this village whose church was
preparing barrel also had its proper
tion of sadly reduced families.
The situation struck me somehow
as incongruous, illogical, out Of gear
Why should good people ia the cities
distress themselves about suffering in
the villages. and good people In the
villages distress themselves about
suffering in the cities. and both feel
apparently little distress about the
suffering right at their very dOors?-
both apparently be more concerned
about the distress Of a stranger whom
they have not seen than they are
about the suffering of a neighbor
whom they know?
Are hearted helpfully inclin-
ed people more distressed by suffering
a thousand miles, tiIJy miles, away
than they are by sutfaring around the
corner? | could not seem TO get an
answer to this query until | turned it
on myself. Is il true Of me? Am
more distressed, am i more strongly
appealed to, by remote suffering?
Well, it's unseliish and good for us
to think Of others. Yes, but that
poor devil right around the corner.
Oh, he might not like it. He may be
proud, and besides, he does not seem
so badly off. At any rate, he got
himself where he is, and he will be
stronger and have more self respect
To dig his own way out.
True enough! And that other poor
devil fifty miles away?
Oh, that's ditferent-terribiy path
etic case.
What makes it so diiferent?-Er-

Is, will distribute to every farm own
er aud tenant ia this state blank or

tions relative to farm operations and

been unable TO MI it up by that time,
he should do it as soon afterwards as
he can.
People who do not speak English or
who do not understand the schedule

The President has issued proclaim
alton, calling on all citizens to coop
crate with the Census and assuring
them that 1t has nothing to do with
ta5atlon, army or jury service, COM
pull Itory school attendance, regulation
of Immigration, or enforcement OF
auy law, and that no one can be in
jured by answering the inquiries.
1t is Of the utmost Importance that

Therefore every farm owner and
tenant should promptly, fully, and ac-
curately fill up the advance Farm

East Jordan, Mich,

EdSU JOTuau, VI lCn.,

half a dozen farmers were present at
the meeting held in Boyne City on
Tuesday, April 5, and same was post
poned until this Saturday, April I6.
