THE MISSION OF THE
CHURCH..

1t is frequently asserted by superficial
observers that Christianity is dying out,
and that the Church is losing its hold
on the masses of the people. Statistics,
however, prove the contrary to be true.
Whenever and wherever the Christian
Church fulfills it's true mission it gains
the affections of the people and becomes
the greatest power for good. It grows
in spite Of those who would take it
for a mantle to cover their wrongdoings,
and in spite of those who misinterpret
it's mission and use it for their social
advancement. The various branches
of the Christian Church expand as they
teach and practice the great truths Of
the gospel and breath the true spirit of
democracy. Ministers who rise to their
opportunities are not confronted with
the question, Why do not people attend
church, People do attend church and
and engage actively in church work
when the work is carried forward
in the spirit of the Master. AS an
illustration of this point we quote the
following, which recently appeared in
the editorial columns of the Milwaukee
Journal under the heading, " A Loss to
the City"
"Just as an exceedingly large num-
Der of citizens. regardless of religious
ties, are rejoicing over the fact that the
Rev. Frederick Edwards will shortly
return to Milwaukee and resume his
work as rector of st. James Episcopal
church, there has come the news that
the Rev. William Austin Smith, rector
of st. Pauls Episcopal church, has
been compelled by ill health to resign
and for the time to cease active work in
the ministry.
These two men are among those who
have been the very forefront of the
movement to establish better order of
things in Milwaukee. Both are excep-
tionally able men and they are fearless
The influence of both of them has ex-
tended far beyond the limits of their
church work. Hence it is that while
there is rejoicing over the return of Mr..
Edwards, the city's loss of Mr.. Smith
causes sadness and disappointment.
1T most significant fact in this
connection that the ministry of the
Episcopal church, an institution that by
many has long been regarded as con-
ventional and aristocratic, is giving
remarkable indications of vitality. Not
only in Milwaukee, but in other sections
of this country, and in England as well,
its clergymen are taking deep and
broad interest in the work of solving
social problems and of remedying con-
ditions that are inimical to good govern
ment.
1.-The Episcopal church, in other
words is beginning to breathe the true
spirit of democracy. This is true of
churches in general. These develop
ments point clearly to one great result

DISCOUNTED PROTEC-
TIONTSTS

The logic Of events continues to
play havoc with the contentious of the
high takers. They told us that protec-
ton would reduce prices; and now the
price of nearly everything of absolute
necessity to the ultimate consumer is
out of sight. The tariff has been re-
vised upward; but the standard of
living is being surely revised downward.
The consumers's burden is great.
Nor are the apostles of protection
always fortunate in promising pro-
ducers resulting benefits from their
policy of commercial restriction. Soon
after the passage of the Payne Aldrich
tariff bill there was rise in zinc ore
prices; and local producers attributed it
all to the zinc duty, and turned their
faces to Uncle Joe Cannon as their
friend and benefactor. Now, under the
same tariff, there is great slump in
the zinc market. Let the high takers
tell the reason why.

The Revision of Congress.

4nO A0bAoAOn VI AOnfSA OSos
Chicago Daily Journal: The repub-
lican majority in the congress now in
session had full year to digest the
republican national platform, with it's
clear cut promise to lower the cost to
consumers of the necessaries of life.
Last year this congress went into session
with clear tariff reduction mandate
from the people, and concurrent
pledge from the ruling party.
The result was the Aldrich Taft law
which, measured by the standard of the
1908 republican platform, is no tariff
revision at all. The chief benefciaries
are still the trusts-not the people who
buy and produce.
Therefore, the supporters of real
tariff revision must revise congress.
The fires of indignation are burning
briskly under standpatters. The west
is afame with real tariff reform senti-
ment.
Revision of congress means getting
a majority that will execute the peoples
will. 1t means forgetting hide bound
party alignments long enough to elect a
congressional majority directly pledged
to downward tariff revision.
The west is not frightened by ."sena-
torial dignity" or the sacred rules of a
"stand pat house. 1t has found con-
gress out. 1t knows now who are it's
real masters-Aldrich, Payne, ct al.
That is why, from coast to coast to
coast, the coming congressional cam
paign will be fought without much
regard to party lines.

Learn From Political Parties.

In the United States there are over
one hundred and fifty distinct church
bodies, ranging in membership from
eight souls to eleven million, asserts
William Ell. Allen, Director of Bureau
of Municipal Research in The Delinea-
tor for March. Only thirteen have a
membership of over five hundred thous-
and, and only thirty two membership
of over one hundred thousand. No one
church speaks for more than one third
of the total membership of all churches
while all church bodies combined claim
only three Fights of our population.
The only unifying force among all
churches, each church, get from society
from human need.
The church, then can not take action
as a unified whole. We must learn to
consider the church as made up of large
number of churches. Each church, in
turn, is made up of edifce, services,
minister, communicates, attendants,
not yet communicate, nor-yet- atten.
dants and surrounding community. In
executing any remedy for social unrest
the church must work through churches
and these again through the above
mentioned component elements in each
community.
At the Presidential election Of 1908
fifteen million adults were able, AMIGA
bly,, to express their differences through
only five national parties. Yet the
church requires one hundred and fifty
odd parties to compass the religious
differences of a much smaller number
of male adults. Within any religious
denomination there is probably more
dissatisfaction and less agreement than
within any political party. Until the
church sees the beam in it's own eye,
how can it hope to locate the mote in
society's?
