Annie hesitated a moment and
glanced at Mr. Jeffries. Then she
said hesitatingly:

Capt. Clinton's massive bulldog jaw
closed with an ominous click.

She remained silent.

America, but we notice that on

in that great continent is marked

South America is a land of mats

Some parts of it enjoy extraordi-

to be getting over the revolution

good sign.
1t may be long time before
the world has serious need of

FARMING FOR MINISTER'S.
Learning LIES Practicalities Makes
Preachers More Successful,
Says Rev. Breeze.

Most every one has heard of the
the Rev Moses Breeze, who gave up
an influential pastorate to get into
home mission work, in which he has
won a national reputation through
his sensational activities. Rev.
Breeze is out with a new idea al
most every day, and each seems a
little better than its predecessor,
Here's his latest, as set forth by d
writer in Munsey's Magazine:
In the first place, Breeze believes
that the training of ministers is de-
ficient The machinery for making
ministers seems to have no relation
ship to the purpose of its product.
Foreign missionaries. city pastors,
theological professors, and country
parsons all pass through the same
hopper
why shouldn't the theological
seminaries prepare men for the par
ticular work they have to do, Just
as a university oives vocational
training according to the special
bent of the student? They will do
so, in time But Breeze is taking
ridicule with Christian complacency
Just now for advocating a chair of
agriculture side by side with the
dignified chairs of theology and
philosophy.
"Of course, he isn't backing water
on the proposition Largely as the
result of his efforts, hundreds of
ministers in the Middle West have
attended the agricultural summer

schools of the universities These
men go back to their parishes full of
intelligent sympathy for the farmer,
and become apostles of scientific
agriculture. They make their chur-
ches what the country church should
be everyw here--the real center OF
rural life, the clearing house of ad-
vanced methods and experiments The
sacred doors are thrown open for
Institutes and condolences on every
subject pertaining to farm life, and
pews which We're solemnly dedicat-
ed to the spread of predestination
much more interested in lecture on
poultry raising"
