Hot Weather Cooking
Cotton, Say Farmers

Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)
vALDosTA. Ca, Sept. 6.-The
farmers who came to town this
week report that the extremely
hot weather is having a bad effect
upon the cotton crop. They declare
it is cooking the bolls and causing
cotton to shed very rapidly.
The present year, has been a
very remarkable one on cotton.
There have been extreme seasons,
beautiful weather following very
bad weather and so on since the
cotton was planted. The result is
that the farmers have lived be-
tween high hope and deep despair
Crop conditions have changed a
number OF times. The farmers de-
clare that not more than two
thirds of crop will be made this
year.
A good deal of sea island cotton
is being brought to the city and
is bringing about % cents a pound,
though the demand for it is not
great yet. s4'7

In swift automobiles, with. sensa-
tional press to absorb attention. and
thousand other distractions, 1t is not
strange that church attendance should
be reduced. But nothing can call the
people back to Gods house like the
powerful preaching of the gospel,
gripping the conscience and bringing
to bear upon the life that NOVELS the
powers of the world to come.
Choir-loft products, of the semi
operate type, can not hold the peo-
pie. When the church undertakes to
compete with, or initiate, the opera
house. in order to attract the null
titude, It always fails; and 1t de-
serves to fail by such methods. If
men wish to hear opera singers, they
will go where the best are to be
found; and that is not in the churches.
Discussion of current topics and
other like themes can be had in mag
azines. newspapers, and lyceum
courses. When the pulpit addicates its
own functions, and undertakes to sup
ply discussions of this sort, II al
ways loses the attention of men; and
it deserves to lose attention in such
a. case. When men want discussions
to get the best, and they do not
go to church to find them.
There really is no sufficient reason
outside religious needs for going to
church at all; and it is the supreme
business of preachers TO meet that
profound, urgent, tragic need. When
the pulpit meets the religious wants
of mems hearts, it never lacks for
hearers. In parched era, John the
Baptist got an overwhelming hear
ing. St. Paul never lacked for atten-
ton. The multitudes flocked to hear
Luther, and all Scotland fell down
before Knox's proclamation OF the
gospel In a sceptical period of Eng
nsh history Wesley appeared, and
there was no want of hearers when
he sounded out the gospel In stately
cathedral or on Remington Common.
One of the reasons given by one
worldly clergyman for excluding Wes-
ley and his fellow-labourers form his
pulpit was that they drew to the
church too large a multitude.
In later times, Mr.. Moody was able
to get a hearing In both Great
Britain and the United States. OF Mr..
Moody's meetings in New York DR..
j. G.. Holland wrote in Scribner's
Monthly, ''They prove that man
wants religion, and that when he
finds what he wants, In its purity and
it's simplicity he viii get II. They
prove that christianity needs only TO
be preached in fits purity and SIM
plicity to win the triumphs for which
the church has looked and prayed so
long. The cure for the moral evils
OF the world is Just as demonstrabiy
in the christian religion as the ele-
mems OF vegetable life are in the
soiP,. This word is true, and ii should
be laid to heart by preachers every
where.

The physician, who makes his home
at Alameda, Cal, says that he is Civ
ing this warning in the hope that
Americans will heed His note of
alarm follows the recent report of the
New York Board of Health, which
shows, as interpreted by tho register
of vital statistics. that. the increased
death rate in certain diseases is due
to lack of proper care in tho taking
Of food and drink.
"While the average span Of life is

by improved sanitation for the entire

obesity, liver diseases, rheumatism,
diabetes. eczema and neurasthenia.
He also declares that cancer and in

alarming rate among the highly civil
