they rent furnished house, have

THOUSAND.
SPLENDID SPEAKERS PRESENT
Machinery That Assists Farmers Does
Little to Aid Wives, so They Move
to Cities, Said DR.. McNutt.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Lima, O.-With almost 5000 dele
gates in attendance and fully 500 men,
bers of the Boys Congress here, the
54th annual convention of the Ohio
State Sunday-school association was
opened here. The feature of the morn.
ing session, which packed Memorial
ball, was an address by DR.. M. B. Nc
Mutt, on "vitalizing the Country
Church" Dr. McNutt said:
"The country is full of weak rural
churches which seem to have very
little life. The membership has fallen
off, the attendance dwindled to nearly
nothing. and there is scant financial
support. The old settlers in these COM
munities, what is left of them, will tell
you that these churches were well sup.
ported at one time and we attended.
But that the old standbys have died
or moved away, a new people have
come who are not interested in re.
ligion. And so the church has gone
down.
Country people have left the farms
in great number. In large percent
age of cases it is the farmers wife
that takes the family to town or city.
While the farmer has all kinds of ma
chinery to tighten his work, his wife
has very few devices in the house for
making her labor easier or for saving
her strength. Her life is often a
drudge.
MANY farmers wives are still pump.
ing water by hand and Juggling it
around in buckets. Christianity has
not done ali for farmers wife that
it can do when it gives peace to her
soul and then sends her to bed with
the backache from pumping water by
hand and Juggling it about in buckets

Experts rarely rely on signatures
alone to determine the authenticity Of
an old painting, but trust rather to
their knowledge of the painters tech

is found in a conspicuous place, as,
