MEXICAN

Postponement Of the elections in
Mexico, the withdrawal of Huerta alb
solutely as a candidate for the presi-
dency. and submission to the terms
proposed by President Wilson by the
provisional government of Mexico are
prophecies made by Felix Martinez, Of
Las Vegas, New Mexico, who is thor
oughly familiar with conditions in the
troubled republic. Mr.. Martinez is a
Mexican born In New Mexico, and is
the leader of the democracy in the
new state. He was a passive candidate
for United States senator when New
Mexico was admitted to the union, and
might have been elected, 1t is said, by
a republican legislature had he per-
mitted his name to go before that
body. Mr.. Martinez went to Washing
ton to receive his commission from
the state department as the head of a
commission to represent this govern
.ment and the Panama-Pacifc EXPOSE
ton on a visit to South American
countries. MFR. Martinez and his az.
sociates will sail shortly on the United
States battleship Des Moines.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 81, 1911;
THE CHURCH AND SOCIETY.

With the coming of autumn the
churches, like other institutions, re-
sumo their activity. pastors return
from their vacations. pews are again
filled, classes of various kinds connect
ed with the church are revived. and
there is renewed activity all along
the line. 1t is proper to inquire into
the utility of any activity, and an in
auiry into the usefulness of the church
is legitimate.
When We speak of the church we
may mean one of two things. We may
mean what is sometimes known as
the church universal, that great force
in which lives the everlasting truth.
and through which the truth is made
manifest to men. We may inquire into
the nature Of this force. and the man.
'ner in which it manifests itself, just
as we may inquire into the nature of
a physical force, hut to discuss wheth-
er or not this force is useful would be
about like discussing whether or not
the force of gravitation is useful. The
force which exists to elevate II re-
, fine. to bring closer to the great veri-
ties. is superior to the will of men,
and operates without mans conscious
guidance. 1t is n of the great in
f%uences Of humanity. and it is not re-
stricted by creed or dogma, nor cir
cumscribed by UNCONVENTIONAL bar
riers.
But the church as an organization.
as a society of men and women formed
for a particular purpose. and directed
by human agencies is a very differ
ent thing. We may discuss its char
And we will find. when we do consider
it, that the human organization which
we call a church is. like all other Or
CARNATIONS, more or less defective in
It's operations. and falls far short of
perfection in many directions.
We may discover all this and be
thoroughly convinced Of it. and vet
the fact remains that the church or
ganization is a very potent influence
for good in the community. and one
which society mo afford to neglect
or ignore. The church is the only
organization formed for the sole pur-
pose of developing the spiritual side
of humanity. 1t is the one institution
which is expected at all time and I'M
der all circumstances for the things
that are best. Sometimes its methods
r crude. Sometimes its outlook is
pitifully small. Some Of its members
! may be unworthy. Sometimes its
management may be lax and its ma
chinery so Anticipated that it creaks at
every joint. Yet, with all its possible
defects, we have in the church organ
1zation an fundamentally for good
which has many achievements to its
credit, and out Of which we may hope
for much in the future.
The church as a human organiza-
ton has the failings which are COM
mon to humanity. It's wiser members
recognize these failings and endeavor
to guide the institutions away from
them. But because Of them we can
not sacrifice the Institution itself. and
II we were obliged to look forward to
q churchless world the outlook would
be poor indeed.

pertinent stage when they inquire
what Bryan does with his money after

and to defeat their own object. Most
