AN ADDRESS
Delivered the Rev. Lundy Sykes Of the Church Of the
Nativity, Macon, Sunday, November 14th 1914.

ICJOiCo UeCduSe we nave Deen
faithful, for we are hidden by Him,
(who judges our work in proper
tion to its faithfulness and not in
proportion to its success) to be
faithful rather than to be success.
full. After all, we are not ade-
quate judges of success.
And so it is that at times we
come under the influence of a per-
nicious heresy that is not cata
lOgued and classified in the theolo-
gical books as other heresies are.
But this heresy Of which I speak
the heresy of numbers-is none
the less real and seductive. 1t
sometimes drives from his post a
missionary priest, weary and dis
cOuraged, because the already
small congregations to which he
ministers are decreasing in order
that the communicate list of the
large parishes may be increased.
And so he is tempted to account
his work a failure because he has
measured it by the standard of
numbers, forgetting that no mans
work is a failure so long as that
work is faithful. Numbers are in
spring but they are not always
conclusive.
Just q few words of thankful ap-
probation. I am but rendering
the members Of the Woman's
Guild their need of praise when !
say that they have been the rec
tors chief fellow. burden bearers,
his loyal allies, and his perennial
fountain Of inspiration. God bless
the Woman's Guild
/ would also make grateful ac-
acknowledgement Of the aid received
from other members of this c0ngre.
cation and from friends in Macon
and elsewhere not of this commu-
nion. And to our Bishop we are
indebted for substantial contribu
tions from his official purse.
To the elders of the Presbyte-
rian church we extend our thanks
for the rse cf-their h,,;,J'rr fcr -,
considerable space of time, and to
the Methodists and Baptists for a
similar courtesy on infrequent oc-
casiOns, and to the N0xubee coun-
ty officials for the use of the court
room when ourPresbyterian friends
had need of their own building.
We thank you one and all for
your kindness to a homeless con-
gregation.
SIN conclusion, a word of com
memoration and sympathy. There
is a commingling of sun 'hine and
shadow this morning, of joy and
pain. Almost on the very eve of
the service to which she had look
ed with eager expectancy, a de-
voted laborer in this corner of the
Lords vineyard, whom we claim
ed our own by adoption, in a dis
tant city closed her eyes in the
sleep that knows no earthly wax
ing, and on yesterday tnat frail
tenement of clay, whence her gen
tie spirit had fled, was entombed
in the soil of her native Maryland.
To know her was to love her. We
shall miss her sweet and gracious
presence the more as the days 90
by. We pluck an immortelle from
memory's garden and lay it on her
bier, praying that God may grant
her a place of refreshment, light
and peace. And for him, her life
partner, lonely and desolate, we
invoke Gods abiding comfort and
sustaining grace. May our Hea-
venly Father, of His infinite com
passion, bind up his lacerated
| heart-strings with healing balm
and give him peace, the peace OF
God that passeth all understand
ing.

In the past ten years the num-
ber of students taking the full
four years. course in American
colleges has increased from about
300 to ~, 800, and the number
taking short or special courses has
doubled. Ten years ago very few
secondary schools gave instruction
in agriculture; now more than two
thousand give it. Agricultural
extension work outside that car
ried on In farmers Institutes has
also increased greatly. Evident
ly the business of farming is look
ing up.

The bankers in their special
meeting at Jackson last week very
properly rejected the motion for a
bank pledge to refuse loans on 1915
cotton growers, who will not sign
a pledge to reduce acreage at least
SO per cent. Notwithstanding
Georgia and Alabama have adopt
ed such a policy, The Herald com
mends those OF Mississippi in re
fusing to be carried so far away
from economic rule and precedents
by a misguided zeal. Such an i'm
position of dictation by many less
than a majority of the Bankers
Association upon its members, de-
priving each of the right to place
his loans according to his knowl-
edge and judgment, would be an
intolerablo violation of banking
principle. With the attempt to
coerce the cotton growers in the
control of their affairs, it would
prove unpopular surely, and prob
ably vain. The assertion or the
assumption, that as all "argu-
ments do not seem to convince the
Mississippi farmers that til ey
should reduce acreage there
should be a resort to coercion,
would be wholly unjustified if ii
were true, which it is at least pre-.
mature to assert. However Sc
rious the condition confronting the
cotton states, relief is not to be
effected by placing business in
leading strings-strings that would
not hold if tied on.-Vicksbure

sensational holiday than Real Estate

celebrate.
The question would arise whether
it wouldn't be more Illuminating if
men who prostitute their talents do
not properly belong in the parade
with women who prostitute their
bodies and that would make a very
large part Of the parade.
Some nice distinctions would have
to be made to place men in the pro-
fessions or in industry. l don't know
just where l would place the thieves

But I do think there are tremen-
dous educational possibilities in such
a holiday and such an exhibition of
OUR work-we, the peopIe-in de-
veloping humanity to it's highest and

Anyhow, 1 suggest that while we
are considering the advisability of
celebrating Chicago land, or real es-
tate, we consider also the advisa-
bility of properly celebrating Chi

A Little Nj ore Social Justice.

In these days Of frantic struggle for social JUS
tee when the constant cry Of the wase-earners Is
that they being squeezed dry by speedngup proc
esses and flung aside, it is refreshing TO find occa-
sional instances Of quite the opposite bearing There
is for instance, the announcement just made by
Altman's, John Wsnamakers and Lord & Taylor
that the stores of these firms will be closed all day
Saturday during July and August.
The advantages Of this to the employees need no
comment It's advantages TO the employers, in in
creased efficiency and loyalty Of the workers, are
almost as obvious. 1t is policy like the adoption
of the Saturday halfholiday, excellent thing
all around that ii is bound to be adopted by other
big establishments. 1t should be.

THE COMMON INTEREST IN REALTY
How the Entire Public Is Concerned in
Its Welfare.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your columns are manifestins IN
terest in the promoting of and diffusins
OF knowledge Of realty.
Perchance the readers of the metropoli-
tan press do not realize 10 what extent
tLey are really indirectly interested in
this security, although not holding deed
to any. e., not a landlord.
Therefore, it may be we'll TO consider
that attacks upon that security are at
tacks upon savings bank books, life in
surance policies, etc, etc, as these insti-
tutions rely very largely upon the invest
ment made on mortgage in real estate in
order to pay the interest or dividend and
TO conserve the principal Of their depos-
itors or policyholders.
Therefore, when any agitation affecting
adversely real estate conditions-in the
minds OF those who are conversant with
that security, and so regarded-it may be
well for those, although but tenants, TO
know that they are directly interested. h

One of the City'S Historic Spots.

Our skyscrapers and other modern inventions are
so engrossing that it is little hard for New Workers

There General Washington was welcomed in lIS9;
