HISTORY AND 4 PICTURE.
CORVALLIS and HE Sword After the
Fall Of Yorktown.

Fall Of Yorktown.
Art is mot always true to history.
Echoolboys Of several generations are
familiar with the picture Of CORVALLIS
surrendering bis sword to Washington
after the fall Of Yorktown. Lord Corn
wallis is revealed In the act Of passing
over his beautiful sword to the hand
OF his conqueror. The inference Is that
Washington took the sword and kept
it as trophy of victory. The facts are
quite otherwise.
CORVALLIS, proud even in defeat, de-
clined to put In a personal appearance
on the occasion of his surrender. The
allied forces. American and French,
who had besieged him for thirteen
days, were drawn up in two columns
along the road leading to Hampton.
Rochambeau, on a fine bay horse, was
at the head OF the French column. On
bis white charger sat Washington at
the head Of the American troops. The
surrendered British and Hessians
marched out Of their intrenchments
and passed down between the two col
-umns.
Many thousands of Virginia citizens
were gathered to watch the scene, all
eager to get glimpse Of Lord Corn
wallis. But they were disappointed in
that. CORVALLIS pleaded indisposition
and stayed in his quarters. He sent
his sword by one of his officers, Gen
eral O'Hara, to be delivered up tc
Washington. General O'Hara offered
the sword to Washington, who directed
him to General Lincoln, the Officer
whom Washington had appointed to
conduct the surrender. Lincoln tool
the sword from O'Hara's hand and
then politely handed It back, to be re
turned to CORVALLIS.

ed in advance of the program for the
Country Life Conference, which is to be
held at the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege, August q. and 6, that ways and
means Of checking the rush oi country
boys to the cities will be one of the chief
matters considered. The conference
promises TO be greet success. and much
advance interest is being shown In it.
Besides being the occasion fore many
instructive addresses on the various
phases of country and rural life, the con-
ference Is expected TO furnish the minis
tiers who attend with much valuable in.
formation concerning rural pastorates
and their duties in connection with this
feature Of the country. church work. The
speakers will include some of the most
noted educators of the country, and who
are known to be loyal opponents of the
idea of conservation for the life of the
country lad in his original element. The
lcountry preachers have been compelled
to call attention to the wild rush of young
men from the farms to the city as soon
as they become of age, thereby greatly
reducing the country church member.
ships and placing them at constant
disadvantage SO far as the church work
is copcerned.
The speakers who will take part in the
convention are all closely identified with
the problems of the country church, and
it Is expected that some lively discussions
will be heard and some interesting facts
in this connection will be divulged. One
of the speakers, In whose address much
interest centers because OF his vast ex.
perience along this line is DR.. Thomas N.
Carver, of Harvard University and pres.
ideht of the New England Country
Church Association.
The question of the conservation of the
country life and its church interest il
believed by many to be the most impor.

have to deal during the next decade, and
the start might as well be made now. II

THE MINISTER'S PROBLEM.

But we should not harshly criticize
the country minister for this condition.
There are hundreds d f6urishins
churches In Maryland that stand as
proof of this good work. His efforts
have been of inestimable value and he
is still giving more literally of his
labor, his love, and of sacrificed ambis
tons than should be necessary. He ID

One Of the purposes of the confer

practical ideals Of country life; to show
the possibilities Of cooperation: to
show how some ministers take adj
vantage Of opportunities that Others
neglect to their sorrow.

We have faith in the minister. We
have faith in the farmer. That the
farmer does not appreciate the Of
forts Of the minister as he should, ID
shown by the fact that he fails to sup
port the Church, and allows 1t to strug.
gle on as though unworthy of his as.

the Church does not answer q real
need. that it is OF little use to them.
that its message is one which they
can do without. The minister replies
that the farmer is ungodly, irreligious.
or perverted. Are not both to blame
for such condition? Should not the
farmer support the minister. and show
him how to be Of service? And should
not the minister study the social and
economic life OF the farmer, that he
