ALL WILL BENEFIT FROM
"BACK TO FARM" MOVEMENT
Small Merchant In Conjunction With
Country Editor Could Make
Things Progress.

There are many country merchants
who see their trade gradually slipping
away from them, leaving the country
town and going to the great cities by
the channel of the mail order trade,
says Maxwells Talisman.
There are many country editors who
see the prosperity of their towns de-
pleted and circulation and advertising
income reduced for the same reason
There are very few, however, who
realize that their problem is a national
one and that it is wrapped up in and
part of the great fundamental question
whether this nation shall be perpetu-
ated or shall be destroyed by the phys
ical degeneration of humanity, the so
cial unrest, industrial discomfort, moral
and political corruption and class ha-
tired bred in the city slums and tene-
ments and certain to eliminate in an
archistic crimes, rtotous mobs and all
destroying social upheavals as the re-
suit of some long continued period of
industrial and commercial depression
The fact is that the upbuilding of
the country town and suburban village
as an antidote and safeguard against
the poisonous social, moral, physical
and political consequences of herding
m1lllonS OF our working people together
in the unnatural congested life of the
tenements is the one great question
that rises above all others in impor
lance as a problem that this nation
must solve. Unless it does solve 1t, 1t
will suffer death from human degener-
acy-the fate of so many nations and
civilizations that have risen in the past
only to be destroyed. Ours will be like
wise destroyed unless we take heed in
time.
Then comes the question of the
growth of towns and villages. There
is where the country editors and mer-
chants can help themselves. Once get
it into the minds of the whole Ameri-
can people that the salvation of the ma
ton depends on the upbuilding of the
| country towns and suburban villages
| get the idea planted and deeply rooted
| so it will grow itself-and q thousand
| Influences will enter the field and enlist
| for this great campaign for rural and
| country town and village development
| to check the overgrowuh of cities. with
| all its resultant evils.
Every country editor and country
merchant should be a leader in the
movement in his locality.

Jas. iii, L, 2.-The perils of speech.
James has no sympathy with an
empty life. which is of no use to any
one. He regards as worthless all pro-
fessions of religion that are not in
dorsed by corresponding practices of
religion The people to whom he
wrote this epistle were fond of talk
ing, and it often happened that they
were reckless in speech BE
not many masters Several of them
were ambitious to be heard, as it was
considered an honor to appear in
public. 1t was customary to allow
those who could address an audience
10 do so. This is how Jesus was
heard so frequently in the synagogues,
even though he was not an authorized
teacher.
Jas. iii. 3-12-The power of the
tongue.
..Tha tongue of a man is quite
small. but it can utter loud and
boastful words and produce results
that are out of all proportion to
it's size. 1t is like "a little fire. that
can spread destruction over a wide
area. "A world of iniauity.''
The punctuation in the revised YER

among our members is the tongue"

nature" The whole circle of our pas
sions is stirred in evil directions by
the tongue when it ways nlaIiciousIy.
Set on fire of hell" Gehenna was
regarded as symbol of the place
where the wicked suffered in the next
world The evil deeds of the tongue
have clearly been inspired by the evil
one 1t is a moral Inconsistency
to bless and praise God and then to
curse man, for this virtually means to
curse God. These things ought not
so to be-" Such contradictions are in

Nothing but the grace of God will
enable any. one to press the tongue into
the service of goodness
