Redhot Cannon Balls.

There is no doubt whatever about
the Confederates firing redhot shot
into Fort Sumter for the purpose of
setting any inflammable material there
on fire. The Confederates so state
themselves. and the officers in Fort
Sumter would not have made the state
ment had it been other than true. The
fire In the barracks gradually swept
around toward the magazine. barrels
filed with powder were rolled out I'M
der fire. and the already hot door was
closed. All the blankets of the soldiers
and everything else that could serve
the purpose had already been wet and
laid over the loaded shells, which were
placed near the guns. 1t was decided
to throw the uncovered powder over
board This was done, but the tide
was low. so the powder barrels rested
on the riprapping in front of the en-
brasure where they were cast out. The
Confederates promptly turned their
guns upon this pile of powder. causing
an explosion which blew the gun at
the e1nbrasure out of position. There
was still possibility that enough pow
der had sifted through the cartridge
bags which had been carried about the
day before to lead the fire into the
powder chamber. Realizing this dan
ger, Anderson called his men about
him on the parade and directed that q
shot be fired from the fort at the enc
my every FIVE minutes, adding Incl
dentally that there was some danger
of the magazine exploding Some of
the men dug a trench in front of the
Il
with water during the rest of the bat
tie. OF course this thrilling moment

times that of the men. This reliev-
es the situation somewhat, and
keeps the church from partial, if not
total, eclipse in this New England
town"
1t will be observed that this writer
lays the blame for the prevalence of
the stay-at-home habit almost en-
tirely on causes outside of the
churches themselves. If the nom
churchgoers themselves were asked
to testify, they would doubtless re-
taliate by accusing the churches of
various sins of omission and COM
mission. Poor preaching is undoubt-
eddy one potent cause Of declining
church attendance. The church has
lost it's old monopoly as an agency
of enlightenment and inspiration in
the community. 1t is called upon
nowadays to meet varied compe-
tition.
1t is up to the minister to make
it worth while for men to go to
church. In order to hold it's own,
the church needs in the pulpit real
men of personality, and resource
fulness. How it can get them is a
hopeless connundrum so long as the
average country preachers salary is
hardly sufficient to command the
services of first class hod-carTier.

The investigator ventures to dag
nose the causes of this "deplorable
exhibit, and enumerates them as:
81. Lack of parental authority rs
years ago, requiring children to at
tend the public worship of God; that
is, the preaching service. 2. Making
the Sunday school a substitute for
the service in which the sermon is
the chief feature. This is an enor-
nous and far-reaching mistake to-
day. 8. The Sunday newspaper,
which has become the non-church-
goer's gospel. 4. The automobile
rage, which takes thousands of
pleasure seekers whizzing through
streets and country roads on the
first day of the week. 5. Sunday Wis
iting, which not only keeps the Wis

often prevents those visited from
