Many Of the country churches, losing
their young people to the cities, and
seeing tenant farming supplant farm
ing by farm owners, are going to the
wall. Behind the Decatur and similar
conferences are efforts to consolidate
and unity whore such course is wise
and then to make the church that re-
mains a social and community center
such as it has never yet been. Better
support for ministers will be urged
and especially will the church set
about the task of improving the public
schools, not directly invading the pub
lie control of it, but indirectly influence
ing and helping its instruction. The
Decatur conference will, it is expected,
recommend that country churches en-
ter upon problems of health, of better
farming, of recreation of young people,
and English for foreign speaking SCI
tiers, while not at all sacrificing the
essentially spiritual character of rs
work

Georgian Not Afraid Of q Jap
Invasion


Representative Adamson, Of Georgia
Feb. q: The gentleman from Ala
bama (lIr. Hobson) has kept me So
perrlrbed and nervous with his annual
direful representations Of invasion
and destruction by Japan that l have
been unable to compose my mind and
feelings sufficiently to prepare
speech on this bill 1t is my opinion.
however, entertained constantly dur
ing the eleven months each year when
he does not try to keep us scared to
death, that Japan can not whip the
United States, that she knows she can
not. and that she will never try, 1t
that island empire should ever be mis-
led by The hysterical statements of the
gentleman from Alabama into making
war upon us under the delusion that
she stood any chance of success, it
would be hard on the gentleman from
Alabama, after We had thrashed her 10
a finish Her frazzled and disembered
remains would reproach the gentleman
from Alabama all his days for deceiv-
ing and deluding her into the belief
that she could stand any show in a
war against us. 1t is generally recog-
nized by everybody except the gentle
man from Alabama that when the
Southern Confederacy, after having put
up the most stubborn war the word
ever saw, with more actual fighting
than the world had seen in a thousand
years or will see in the next thousand
years, had failed to yanquish the Unit
ed States, there was no use for any
other nation to try conclusions with
her. That contest, uneXampled in
history, leaving the United States the
victor, also established her as pre-
eminent and inyincible among all the
nations, and all the nations know it."

Only Temporary Defeat.

Through the single objection of Senator
Bailey, legislation proposed in the post
Office appropriation bill authorizing the
Postoffice Department to receive for de-
livery on rural delivery routes packages
weighing not more than II pounds was
defeated.
Let it be understood that this PROPOSE
ten had been carefully drafted by the
Postmaster General. who had given it his
hearty approval 1t could not have in
terfered with the business of the express
companies, Tor the simple reason that
there are no express offices along rural
routes. 1t was only to benefit the rural
storekeeper, who thus more easily could
have delivered his wares to his customers
But, small as was the beginning, it was
the nucleus OF a coming parcels post, and
the interests who were adverse to this re-
form encompassed its defeat
Nothing daunted, we hope, the advo-
Gates of the parcels post system will try
again. This is not the first time that a
just and popular measure has been kept
from the statute books by technical OBJ
stacles. Eventually this country will en-
JOY the benefit of parcels post, and the
temporary delay will only result in a
more determined effort to secure its
adoption. Washington Herald.
