Life in the country. says Polly. does not
favor self-cultivation: what 1t enforces Is
a practical self-education in prosaic, ma
terial things She proves this by pointing
to the contents Of the many periodicals de-
voted TO country life TO which We sub
scribe. OF course. few OF them lack the
obligatory article in the poetic John Bur
roughs style. but the editors know their
business Their publications furnish In
tcrnal evidence that they are all suburban
ties themselves. Therefore the bulk OF the
pabuum which they provide consists OF
what? OF the spirit OF contentment and
freedom and rest and simplicity? Not a
bit OF IT, These country life publications
are nerye-rachng in their strenuous advice
regarding means and ways for the further

STORY OF CHURCH IN
 COUNTRY VILLAGE
Of 262 Residents, 68 Are Professed Christians, 20
 Church Members

Chicago. December i've should close Ellis Island for about five years ana make some of the southern cities ports or entry" Rev. Charles Sickle, secretary or the bureau of social service of New fork' said today at the Federal council or the Churches of Christ.
 Rev Steizle suggested that labor aues- tions were pre-eminently religious ques- tions, and that the church could solve many of the differences between labor and capital organization.
 The story of an Indiana village of 2e2 inhabitants with 6S professed Christians and only 20 church members attempting to support three churches, was related at the council this afternoon.
 Of the 6s Christians in the village, the 40 that were not members of the three local churches were distributed among nine denominations. It was said that no young man under 21 years of ago was a member of any of the three churches
 This case was selected as being typical of church conditions in many of the small towns in the country.

Hawthorne, written in the autumn of 1908 in which the witness said he had shown one of the Hawthorne let ters to a mining engineer who remarked ]:
 Tt would seem to me that they have a likely looking prospect within a few miles of some paying mines. There are dozens and millions of prospects in the world, but only few paying claims
 In reply Hawthorne wrote:
 We are actually taking out silver ore today.'
 He urged the colonel to employ his expeht friend to investigate, saying that it would serve the purpose better than any statement he could advance.
