MINISTERIAL LAZINESS
NEW ANSWER to the question,

NEW ANSWER to the question,
~ What is wrong with our
churches?" is contributed by
the Rev. Mark Allison Matthews, of
Seattle, pastor of the largest Presby
terrain church in America, if not in the
world, and ex-Moderator of the Gener-
Matthews, lies in the Incidence of
many of our pastors, and what l say
DR.. Matthews, who is described as a
gray-eyed. blackhaired, clean-shaven
man, six feet five inches tall, and "of
Lincolnian spareness." does not belong
among the drones in the churchly hive
may be inferred from the fact that, be-
ginning his ministry with a church of
sixteen members, he now breaches to
congregations of $500 and 5000. of
whom from 55 to so per cent. are men.
In the case of his own denomination
he extends the charge of laZiness to
include the elders as we'll as the min
listers. His views on this subject are
recorded by Mr.. James B. Morrow in
the New York Sun. Says DR.. Mat
thews:
"A preacher has no boss right on
the spot to make him diligent about
his business. He gets up in the morn
ing when he pleases and goes to bed
at night when he feels like it. No whis-
tie reminds him of his coming tasks.
Customers are not waiting to enter his
store. He goes out into the street,
meets a man and talks for half an
hour Bankruptcy would overtake the
merchant who wasted his time in that
way

minutes. | called the assistant in and
told him he would be a failure unless
he made profitable use of every min
ute during days work

Some preachers thought when | was

big mob in Seattle instead of a church,
that people swarmed in and then out,
just as they did with DR.. Talmage. AT

HOME-TURNING

Long through the yearning of twilight wandered
and lone,
Homeless seeking shelter of love where the wild
quaver and moan
Stumbled my feet the precipce edge, and casped
at the tearing thorn
Till felt the pity that bitterness hides and the comfort
that lies in that scorn;
When through the inistnct shadows that sed down
through the goam,
The ivory taper love aglow high in the night
like star;
Full through the soft hush of evening the longing
DER for home;
with the wonder of love in my eyes from the
bleak mountain SUBMITS affair."

An Important Measure

There is a bill now pending in the national
legislature which should receive the support of
not only every American farmer, but all classes
of citizens interested in the promotion of the
national welfare.
This measure is known as the Lever agricul-
tural bill. 1t passed the house of representa-
tives last August by unanimous VOTE but last
January it failed of passage in the senate by the
close vote of 81 to 30. At the opening of the
special session the bill was reintroduced It's
passage in the house is assured and it will I'M
doubtedly go through the senate if public Opin-
Jon is vigorous enough in its support.
The following is an abstract of the principal
features of this important measure:
Section l. Provides for the establishment and main
tenance of extension department all colleges of
agriculture.
Sec 2. Outlines the duties, viz, to give instruction
and demonstrations in agriculture and home economics
to not attending the agricultural college, by
field demonstrations and otherwise in the various
munities 1t does not interfere with the demonstrations
now being carried by the Department of Agriculture.
Sec. g. Provides for the free use of the mails,
Sec. 4.-Provides for fixed appropriation from the
federal treasury of $4,000 per Internationally
every 1t further provides conditional appropra
lions, beginning with 100000 year. to be rated
among the states the basis of rural population This
appropriation increases year by the of 100000
until maximum of $3,0O0000 is reached. No state will
equal amount for the same purpose, The money goes
to and is expended by the state college of agriculture in
each state At least IS cent of the money must be
used for actual field demonstrations and of the remain
ing, 20 cent be used for either household
Monies o further field demonstrations.
Lined up solidly behind the bill is the Nation
al Soil Fertility League, of the most influen-
tia organizations of its kind in the country. This
league is so enthusiastic in it's advocacy of the
Lever bill that it is according this measure the
ranking position in it's excellent program for the
improvement of agricultural conditions in the
United States, though this program calls
for such reforms as:
Modern road laws.
The consolidation of rural schools, properly
graded, with strong we-paid teaching force
and a recast course of study emphasizing agricul-
ture and home economics.
The establishment of national bureau of
marketing, to aid in equalizing distribution, as
outlined in u S. Senate bill No. AT.
A simplified system of farm loans that will
enable the farmer to borrow at the lowest posi-
BILE rate of interest.
Encouragement of cooperation in production
and in buying and selling and thus eliminate
necessary expense.
Encouragement of an increase in the raising
of t-producing animals.
Recasting the relation between landlord and
tenant, to encourage cooperation, longer tenure
and proper of the soil.
Vocational education, in the trades and indus
tries, and in agriculture and home economics.
