Tho suildlns Of the Church,"

We agree with Charles Z. Jefferson
IN his book, THE Building OF the
Church" that the church needs prop
ping up IN some manner other tnan
the spectacular, vaudevillian one
which II is AT present receiving. In
other words. that IL is losing its spir-
itual significance and Is falling into
materislistic decay. But DIR. jenef-
son seems not TO see the causes nor
the remedies for this condition. Ills
advice TO young ministers Is well and
good. but his interpretations OF the
teachings or Jesus are limited by
small horizon where the SKY line
closes down most abruptly on all sorts
OF beautiful things, leaving them In
the the chill or nowhere.
Jesus said: Love one another,
but Mr.. Jefferson goes one better Cd
and says, Love your fellow Chris
tians" This picking and choosing
and pigeonholing OF the divine out
pouring is likely to CONCEAL 1t into an
iciness which is already with Us In
abundance. Mr.. Jefferson's religion
Is q church; apparently II must run

LETTERS TO EDITOR
When Hobson Refused Challenge

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 On last Tuesday the people of Cordova were entertained by Capt R. P. Hobson, who delivered his first speech of tsis campaign at this place.
 The people turned out in goodly num- bers to hear the gallant captain. and gave him respectful hearing: in fact he had a very large crowd. considering the fact that this is an industrial town and people cannot quit their work at 9;3o o'clock, no matter how much they might desire to do so
 The part of Captain Hobson's speech which amused some of us most was hisi very bitter arraignment of Mir. Under- wood for not quitting his work in Con- gross and joining him in joint debate over the state. Captain Hobson seems to think that for one man to refuse to meet another in joint debate when he has been challenged 1e shining against the Holy Ghost. Now, I happen to know that some years ago when the captain, vas running for Congress the republican party of the Sixth Congressional district nominated H. T. Nations of Cordova, as his opponent. Mir. Nations is just as honorable and respectable as Captain Hobson, and MT. Nations, through his campaign committee. challenged Captain Hobson for a joint discussion over the Sixth district and the gallant captain refused to meet MT. Nations in joint de- bate.
 Captain Hobson cannot give a single reason for refusing to meet MT. Nations in joint debate, which would not hold good in Mir Underwood's s refusal to meet him in joint debate.
 If he contends that he was busy with congressional duties so it is with Mir Underwood. If he says he knew Mir Nations stood no chance to be elected, therefore, did not want to waste his time in the debate, Mr. Underwood could urge the same with equal force

Eight Hours Only

 The new school teacher in rural town gave a boy a question in compound pro- portion for home work one evening. It included the circumstance of linen work ing 10 hours a day to complete certain task"
 The next morning the teacher, in look ing over the little pack of exercises. found this boys sum wholly unattempted. Calling him to her she asked why he had not tried to do the sum.
 The boy, after considerable fumbling around in his pockets. brought forth a note from his father and handed it to her. Unfolding it the teacher read:
 Miss, -. refuse to let my boy do his sum you give him, as it looks to me to be slur at eight-hour system enny sum not more than eight hours he is welcum to do but not more.'
