How much truth there is in the story
I know not. but it is told that when
Capt. Boyd told Lady Lillian that he
had bought a yearling she replied:

''Senseless, Good" reiterated the cap

name. 1t was appropriate. for this good
looking gray horse. which now belongs
to Mai. Mclaughlin. is by Grey Leg
and out of a mare called Senses.
There are some owners who have con-
siderable difficulty in naming their race
horses, and 1t is said of the late Earl
Of Glasgow that his friends had quite
a task to get him to christes them. The
testy earl used to say that a horse
should prove itself worth a name before
one was given to il. One evening he was
induced to Christen three. and the fol-
lowing were the names under which
they ran: Giv2-him-a name, He-hasn't-
got-a-hOme, and observation-disclosures
There are not a few horses which have
run in recent years with equally foolish
and much more meaningless nOmenCla-
ture. For instance. hn-Willie-COme-o
and WOuld-yOI-beleve-it. There ought
to be a censor of racing nomenclature.
for some of the titles chosen for horses
detract from the dignity of the sport.

Baptists Set Goal.

The Rev. W. T. Stackhouse, who rep
resents the Northern Baptist convention
in laymens work for missions. states
that Baptists entertain the belief that If
the progress of the past two years, under
the Baptist Laymens Missionary Move
ment can be maintained for a genera
ton, say thirty-five years, the stint Of
evangelizng the world IN this generation
can be accomplished. Baptists feel, so
Mr.. Stackhousc says, that they can do
their share.
There has just been completed I'm New
England a campaign in which 5000 Bap-
fist men had part. During January a
campaign is to be carried on among Bap-
fists Of the Pacific Coast, and in Febru-
airy one among those OF Pennsylvania
and Delaware, with Philadelphia as the
headquarters. A recent canvass, or sur
vey, made in Middle West city. showed

halls during. church hour. Something
must be done to check such tendency
and practice" observes Mr.. Stackhouse,
and he believes that the cry of world
evangelization will check IL II anything

that has been a witness of this decline

Frequently the church is made a center
for a village improvement society. One
such is operation now in Vermont. A
year ago last June the women voted SO
to start a playground. A young COL
Iege girl took hold. A vacant lot was
donated, and the village carpenter built
swings. Folk dancing has ben taught
once a week within the year, and there
has been a story telling afternoon.
Younger workingpeople are given two
evenings. Almost the whole town has
had benefit from this playground
In a Central Pennsylvania village,
brotherhood building has been erected,
any everything from a ladies' aid society
to a miners conference is held in it.
Farmers. miners, and foreigners share
it. Between the extremes of a village
playground and a big community build
ing there are vast fields of unexplored
endeavor. The rural church is coming
into its own" says Miss Taft although
it is OTTER hindered by traditions. We
find that where the farmer is the most
progressive the church is most alert.

Church Attendance

December attendance at public religious
worship in principal New York Protes-
taut churches, practically all Protestant
bodies, has broken the record of recent
years. Figures up to and including De-
Cember l. show in some instances rec
ords exceeding all preceding years.
Along with the attendance there has been
increased money gifts, both for local sup
port and for foreign missions. There
have been no sensational amounts an

While 1t is the case that some churches

the public press. others have not, and
those that have old preachers are among
the most crowded. One church recently
received it's quota of benevolent gifts be-
fore the Sunday for taking that gift ar

New York Protestant churches have seen
their financial incomes doubled in amount,
until now they are the largest in the
world. The incomes of at least seven
single congregations this year will ex-
coed the S4OOOO figure.

raj communities, to be a blessing in

We do not find 1t so. In former times
there was a social life, kept up by all

rural churches vary from $500 to 81 900.
Efforts are making to increase such
salaries, both through the churches them
selves and through payment to the min
listers for extra time at serving public
causes, chiefly educational. Only 15 per
cent of rural ministers are college grad
yates, and but per cent are grad
yates of theological seminaries. While
this is true, however, many among these
ministers are clever at other work, espe-
cially educational, possibly research, and
may be teaching children to play and
get real fun. Some men are capital at
leading the social life, and to these new
encouragement Is given by these Y. NJ.
c. A. and Presbyterian agencies. In
short ministers are taught to do more
than preach theology. They are making
great strides at all around social serv-
ices.
The Farmers Wife.
Special attention is given the women of
the rural town; the wives of the farm
ers. The new plans develop her reading,
her care of children, her social life, even
her pay. In the latter line 1t is held not
to be enough that women work hard
seven days eacn week, fifty-two weeks
each year, without vacation, simply
for board and clothes. They are. under
the new plan, encouraged to have bank
accounts of their own. and to stand on
somewhat the same level as the city
woman. Ministers conferences and wom-
ems auXiliaries are being formed. In this
work the Y. NJ. c. A. county secretaries
are leading. Largest development in all
this work is coming in New England, in
New York, and Pennsylvania, and in the
Middle West States. In some degree it
is entering the South. The plans are TO
go into the South more and more within
the next year or two.
