Men and the Church.


Spartanburg Journal.
Some time back The Journal re-
printed from The Baptist Courier
and commented upon a letter from
Joseph Norwood of Columbia, on
why So Few Men Attend Church."
In this letter Mr.. Norwood claimed
that the ministry had lost it's infiu-
ence.
r. B. Norris OF Greenwood writes
20 The Courier this week on Mr..
Norwood's letter. He says:
"In The Courier of July goth,
Brother Joseph Norwood writes of
the reason why so few men attend
church and makes the statement
that the ministry or our state has
woefully lost it's influence, If indeed
it ever possessed it. Theidea places
the ministry in the position Of that
OF the Catholic priest, that is the
priest gives to the people spiritual or
more knowledge, or withholds it
from them as it may please himself,
and our brother overlooks or fails to
express or imply the doctrine of the
responsibility OF every individual
deciple of our Lord Jesus Christ.
81 am not willing that all, if any
OF the blame for the 'woefup condi-
tions in the churches, and in our pol
itics be placed on the ministry. The
greater part OF the trouble is that we,
the laymen, fail to apply, and con-
serve the truths Of the gospel as de-
livered to us, and allow it to go by
unheeded to a fearful waste / be-
lieve the cause OF this condition is
that we fail to think about Christ
and His code OF righteousness. Men
do not go to church on Sunday morn
ing, or evenings or to the Sunday
schools or prayer meetings be ,ause
they are not thinking about the
Master, and IL they go to these places
where they should worship God.
there is so little thought OF Him that
they fail to catch the spirit and
truths OF the Gospel.
"Our ministry is delivering to us
Southeland of ours, every week a
Niagara flow Of Gospel truths, and we
the laymen, allow 1t to fIow on to an
awful waste by our failure to con-
meet our Christ-thoughts up to it. and
transmit 1t to the world through our
business, professional, political. and
social lives.
"The great need OF the hour Is
that men and women every where
could be made to read, think, and
realize the terrible things that
come to people, and nations who
heareth, and heedeth not the voice
of the prophets, and forget, thinking
not &C God"
Mr.. Norris views are practically
the same as ours.

The press of the country will be

The farmers who have been in the
habit of making either cotton or to-
bacco, or both, practically their only
crop, or crops, need no one to tell
them now that such practice is not
wise. The eXigencies OF war will
apprise them of that fact. The farm
journals have for years been trying
to persuade the tillers of the soil to
plant diversified crops, urging them
to cultivate, so far as 1t is Mt all
practicable, all they and their stock
would consume. Some have taken
the advice. while many others have
not. A number OF our North Caro-
lima farmers who have land that Will
or would produce almost anything.
instead Of cultivating n variety Of
crops, devote practically all their
energy to cotton or tobacco. Others
attempt to lessen the hazard by grow
ing both OF these crops. But that
is never safe, for no one can foresee
the future and no one knows at
planting time that by harvest time
the bottom may drop out % the
markets and leave this kiad Of farm
er stranded. He may find himself
with little to eat. less to feed his
stock on and no savings ahead. Then
he Is either forced to sell at a sacrl-
fee price, or TO borrow money at a

The better and safer way is TO
cultivate a variety OF crops, raising

Among the objects of the organi-

ers; members to put pressure" on

that putting pressure" meant threat

AS GREEK UNDERSTANDS II

Phrase Somewhat Literal, But
he Had the Idea.

A young Greek merchant of Wash
ington, who has been taking lessons in
English from private tutor. has so
far advanced that his teacher recently
introduced him to the beauties-and
perpleXities-of Shakespeare. He was
instructed TO read a passage several
times until he had the ideas firmly
fixed in his mind and then, closing the
book, TO put these ideas into his own
English, following as closely as his
memory permitted the authors text.
He had read over a soliloquy of
Othelio's several times and was re-
producing the Moor's somber thoughts
with pretty fair approximation to the
poets words, but when he reached the
last line; Farewell. Othello's occupa-
tons gone!" he stopped short, utterly
at a loss. The original phrasing had
quite escaped him. However, he had
grasped the idea, for after a few sec
onds of frowning perplexity his brow

With a finger of the left hand keep
your place in the book or manuscript
as you write, and you will find gener-
ally that you can copy quite fast in
this way.
For a paper weight a heavy oblong
rectangular piece of brass or glass is
most effective The connecting of
words by long pen strokes has very
little bad effect on the legibility of the
copy and certainly saves time. Of
course the stroke should be long
enough to mark clearly the break be-
tween words.
