More Minister. Wanted.

ISt. Louis Globe Democrat.1
According 10 report made to the
Northern Presbyterian assembly at At
lanta. 1000 more ministers are needed
to man the churches CT that denomi-
nation alone in the United States.
Similar shortage exists in nearly eli
other OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES SO that
it is well within the limit to say that
there is needed in the ministerial field
at least 1000 more ministers than are
at present at work to Keep tbs
churches supplied, to say nothing OF
the increasing mission work ali the
denominations are taking up.
Census statistics show that the In
crease in population in the United
States exceeds 100000 a year, while
the increase in church membership is
far below this proportion, and the in
crease in the number OF ministers is
still less. there being an actual de-
crease in some denominations. There
must be some reason why the nom
church class in the country is growing
so rapidly, amounting now to mere
than SO per cent Of the entire popuia-
ton. There must be some reason why
the growth Of the churches is not keep
ing pace with immigration. u. indeed.
it keeps pace with the increase by
birth. There must be some reason
why a less and less proportion OF
young men OF the churches devote
themselves to the ministry. 1t may be
thar one great fundamental reason is
accountable for all this. 1t the reason
is that the church has not had suf-
icent evangelical zeal, has not suf-
ac:catIy tried &c keep stse!t IN tcuch
with the masses, that reason Is less
strong now that it was only two years
ago. Any person who has been in j
position 10 observe the spirit Of the
churches the past two years can not
but have observed wonderful revtva!
Of evangelism. There is more sys-
terlatic Organization, zealousiy sup
ported. for extending the influence OF
the gospel and reaching out in helpful-
ness TO the nom church element. There
has also been great stimulation OF
the mission spirit. both for home work
and abroad. This apparently already
had its effect on the churches. since
the one in question reports 5000 more
new members from confession Of faith
last pear than the year before.
Doubtless, in time, should this new
evangelical and mission spirit continue
to grow, there will be an increHse In
the number of young men who oner
themselves for mission and ministerial
work. The often repeated explanation
Of the present shortage, that young
men are lured from the religious held
by the greater rewards offered by .
commercial or professional life IL not
satisfactory one. II the right spirit
prevailed they could not be tempted
by such earthly rewards II they have
been 10 won away. the fault primarily
has been that OF the church itself In
letting the evangelical and mission
spirit reach 30 low IN ebb. It would
seem TO depend entirely upon the
church and its spirit whether II 70 able

All Sorts Of Opin;srs
Matthews Interviewed.

The moderator of the general as
sembiy. Is the Rev. Mark Allison
Matthews D. D.. OF Seattle. pastor OF
the largest Presbyterian church in
America, if not in the world.
We require no mere for admission
into the church" he tells the people
: OF Seattle, than is required for adj
! mission into heaven" SO he has in
creased the number of his commun :
.cants from 4G0 to 5000 in eleven years.
More than 1000 persons attend his
church. Fifty ushers are on the main
foor and in the galleries. Seventy-one
singers are in the choir. japanese.
Chinese and Coreans are on the rolls.
In 1902 the congregation owed $4,000
and $1,000 IN interest. The debt was
paid and new building was erected.
No church in the United States is more
complete.
DR.. Matthews thinks he knows what
is the matter with the christian church.
"I.ackadaisical preachers. is his an
swer. Incidentally to his church work
he exposed the municipal grafters OF
Seattle. helped TO recall the mayor and
to send the chief Of police to the PEN
.tentiary.
81 was six feet six inches tail as
boy" he said, when I asked for his
measurements. but after | got mar
ried and settled down I shruns to six
feet nye inches" TIE Lincolnian
spareness OF his body accentuates his
height. Moreover. he wears coat that
reaches to his knees. His face is long.
k.s eyes are gray. his hair is black and
his mouth is small. He is modest. mag
and niafn snnken
"a preacher with cigar between
his teeth" he said al scores OF
ministers meetings, will have nara
work to save many souls.
His first church had a membership
of sixteen. He multiplied 1t by four ana
then moved on to larger town. he
doubled two important churchs in the
south before he was called to Seattle.
The average increase Of his COMMUNE
can.s has now reached 100 year.
Aside from your power as an era
tor" asked him, how have YOU built
up the largest Presbyterian church in
the United States
Il should prefer to eliminate myself
from your question: Dr.. Matthews an
swered. u can say. however. that no
minister can succeed unless he works.
unless he keeps eyeriastingly interest
ed in his high office. There 10 nothing
wrong with our churches. The trouble
lies in the Incidence OF many Of our
pastors, and what say applies to al!
denominations.

Leaf Spot on Ch.rry Trees.
!Mu8cattna Jc;,rusi

party in Muscatine has Just
brought 10 this office some twigs OF
cherry trees. the leaves Of which are
affected with the leaf spc, or so-ealled
mole fungus. This is n very common
disease of the cherry and causes the
leaves tc a-c: before TIC trs1 e5su-
pletes its growth. This causes the trees
to 30 into the winter in weakened
condition and winter injury often re-
suits. The fungus is easily distin-
guished By the round E-eenisi, or
brownfsh spots upon the leaves These
may be edged with red later on in the
season. The center often drops out lat
er and for this reason 1t is known as
the shot-hole fungus. The disease is
spread by means of spores produced
in the affected spots. The fungus prob
ably lives over the winter in, the fall
en- leaves and in the spring. spores are
carried to the new foliage by the wind.
This disease can be largely con-
trolled by spraying. The u. s. depart
ment Of agriculture has conducted
some experiments and 1t has been
found that self boiled lime sulphur
mixture at the rate OF ten pounds OF
lime. ten pounds OF sulphur and fifty
gallons OF water Is a very effective
spray. Commercial lime-sulp,iur mix
ture at the rate Of one gallon to forty
gallons Of water Is also effective. Weak
bordeaux mixture made at the rate Of
two pounds Of copper suiphate. four
pounds Of good stone lime at Atty gall
Ions Of water has been found to be a
good spray for controlling the trouble.
1t is recommended that the spray
be applied three times. The first treat
ment should be given when the cher
ries are one third grown. the SECOND
treatment just after picking. the fruit.
and the third treatment one month
later. In the case OF late ripening va
rieties like English NoFello and
wragg. the trees may become de-
foliated before the fruit - ripe. any
OF these sprays which have been men
toned will stain the fruit and render
It unmarketable II they are used too

THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK.


There is not day but what records
some auto accident on q railroad eros
sing. or in . ditch. In which from one
to six people are killed. yesterdays
papers giving accounts of no less than
three such accidents. And how often
we see that old familiar excuse that
the brakes failed to work" Let us
analyZe the excuse a moment.
An auto loaded with four to six peo-
pie weighs close to 1000 pounds and
has an engine with power enough to
travel close 10 sixty miles an hour and
many a driver is inclined to 'let her
out" as the saying goes, on good roads.
This 4ooe-pound force travelling at a
high rate Of speed develops an enor-
nous energy. as anyone who has
studied the law Of motion readily
knows. and all the driver has for stop
ping the car and its tremendous en-
ergy is foot and hand levers which
will apply some friction to two drums,
one on each rear wheel. which are per-
haps IA inches in diameter and 2n
inches wide. There you have the stage
setting for a horrible grade crossing

They approach a crossing or a bad
place in the road where 1t is necessary
to stop suddenly and the driver Jams
the brake pedal down but the car goes
right on into the accident which leaves
Its passengers dead and injured. Then
the world is furnished with another
tale about the brake which refused to
work when needed. In all common
sense every man OF woman who drives
car should stop and ask himself or
herself why q brake should work under
conditions for which it was not made
and under a strain which experience
has shown time and time again is too
much. Nature never makes exceptions
and those who disregard the known re-
suits OF her laws must take the conse-
q,lences, which IN the case Of the auto
