A Nation Wide "Church Day."

Why do our churches have but hand
full of worshipers? Ministers are devot-
ing their study hour from Sunday to sun
day preparing to speak to dozens where
they ought to reach hundreds From a
business point of view this seems like a
waste of time. Aside from it's discourage
ing effect on the ministry, the church
isn't getting results commensurate with
its investment This being the condition,
ought not something be done to change
it? If the present church programme
does not appeal to the people, or gather
the crowd. ought not judicial departures
to be made in order to reach them? If
people won't come to the church. ought
not the church go. to the people?
Why not have a Church day.. at
which time the ministers and well in
formed and consecrated men of the
churches throughout the land shall go
out upon the streets and address the
people? The church, or rather organi-
cations affiliated with 1t, Is doing some
work of this kind. but 1t is mainly along
the lines Of evangelism. says the Rev
Charles Bates Strayer In Leslie's.
Evangelism Is not the only note that
needs to be struck. The suggestion would
include the whole range of topics-civic,
social and economic-about which men
are inquiring today. Not only so, but 1t
would make every church a center from
which speakers would go out. Inaugu-
rated on certain Sunday, to be known
as church day. the plan could be con-
tinueI as often and at whatever inter-
walls experience would seem to justify.
The church already has Labor Sum-
day, Peace Sunday, a Prison Sunday.
tuberculosis Sunday, Purity Sunday.
and so on. But these touch only lin
tied range of topics and In discussing
them, the church at present reaches only
those who choose to attend its service.
With all government, human and divine,
being attacked on every street corner.
the church cannot afford to keep silent
What 1t needs is '.church day"
The church must set itself to the task
of stemming the tide before society Is
overwhelmed. Let 1t get out upon tho
streets meet the people face to face
and. reasoning man-fashion with them,
convince them that the Bible has mes
sage for the hour, and that the civic,
social and economic problems of our
modern life will never be solved Alright
except In harmony with the principles of
the Kingdom Of God laid down In tho
Scriptures.

Roswell, N. NJ. Aug. 2S.-StocKhOId-
ers of the Northern canal have de-
cided to rebuild the siphon which was
taken out during the heavy rains last
June, and which has only been re-
paired temporarily.
This siphOn will cost something like
$4,000. Deputy county surveyor H.
W. Vauchelet has drawn the plans and
specifications. Work will begin after
the irrigation season closes.
Instead of a flume under the Felix
the directors decided to put in an in
verted siphOn which will cost more and
be more permanent
Mr.. Vauchelet with his corps Of as
sistants has finished the topograph-

erman district. About one-haIf of the
Dexter-G Greenfield district has been
completed by him, and he is now start

DrOuth Causes Farmers to Inquire
About Methods for Securing Water
For Use When Needed.
Washington, D. C., Aug 2s.-The
drouth which has prevailed in many
parts Of the east this season has
caused a large demand for informa-
ton as to the cost and possibilities Of
irrigation.
Most Of the water used for irriga-
ton in the east is pumped from
streams or wells by individual users,
gasoline engines being used most
commonly for power.
In the vicinity of Sanford, Fla,
water is applied in underground pipes.
The soil IS underlaid by an impervioUs
stratum and is Of such a character
that the water spreads rapidly later
ally and reaches the plant roots
Where similar conditions do not exist
this system is not recommended
For truck crops which are planted
SO close that horse cultivation is not
practicable the overhead spray IS
recommended. A system Of perforated
pipes, fitted with nOzzles, placed high
enough to allow Of cultivation under
meath. is installed. The pressure nee
essary for spraying the water is OBJ
tanned by pumping the water into a
tank elevated sufficiently to give the
necessary pressure, or by pumping d.
rect into the mains
According to the figures of the crop
reporting board of the L. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, there is consider
able increase over 1912 in the acreag
of winter wheat, rice, and wheat in
general Of this, winter wheat shows
a total acreage of 3O,93S,0OO acres, or
16.4 per cent more than was reported
for 1912. Rice shows an increase of
IA per cent in acreage, and all wheat
shows an increase Of SO per cent. Corn,
oats, rye, buckWheat and white pO-
tatoes show substantially the same
acheaige as for 1912, with an increase
Of II per cent recorded for oats.
Spring wheat, barley and tame hay
show decreases ranging from 81 to
rs per cent. Flax shows a falling off
of 149 per cent. The condition of the
apple crop is 52.2 per cent, which is
about % per cent less than the ten
year average.
