THE RURAL PASTOR
Intelligent and Consecrated Leader
ship the Need of the Hour
BY Peter Radforc
Lecturer National Farmers Union

The rural pastor has greater posi-
bilities than any other factor In our
national life. The rural civilization
Of the Twentieth Century has opened
up a new world of activities for him.
There lie before him uneXplored con-
tinents of usefulness, unemployed
forces of civilization and tremendous
responsibilities such as have never
before confronted the pastorate
The need of the rural communities
today is intelligent and consecrated
leadership. There must be marshal
ling of forces that build life, strength
en- character and broaden vision. The
pastor should deal with living prob
lens. In addition to the service he
now renders he should help us lift
the market basket, hold out help
ing hand to the farmer and develop
the potential energies of the commun
ity he seeks to serve.
A More Useful Ministry.
The farmer needs the personal
touch of the pastor He seldom
lowing influence, except when he is
baptized, married and buried. We
need to further extend Christian in
fuence in the homes, as well as to
spread the gospel in China; to in
struct our children in the art of liv-
ing. as well as to convert the barbar-
ian and the Hottentot, and we should
devote our energy and talent to the
solution of problems of our own 10.
cality. rather than consume our en-
ergles in fighting vice and ignorance
beyond our borders 1t is as import
ant that we discuss from the pulpit
the building of macadam highways
from the church to our homes, a.
that we preach of the golden streets
Of the New Jerusalem 1t is as much
a part of the duty of the pastor to
eXhort us to own a home while on
earth as to Inspire us to build man
sion in the skies and that we should
construct Christian character in our
own community, rather than that we
fight foreign sins in other lands We
want religion we can farm by as
well as die by.
Christian influence Needed
There is an emptiness in the life
of r>iral communities and we want
preachers who can weave into the
social fibre, educational pastimes,
profitable pleasures and instructive
amusements. Too often we find the
games of our young people a search
for a suggestion in immortality and
a stepping-stone to sin. The pastor
should supervise the growing lives of
young people, approve their amuse-
ments, create expressions of Joy and
pleasure that make of Christian
character and bless their lives with
Christian modesty
The farm is the nursery of civili-
zation, and the parsonage of all re-
ligious denominations. Too long has
tie farm furnished the cities with
their great preachers, until today the
rural church is the gangway to city
pulpits. The current should be re-
versed. The power of the pulpit is
most needed in the country where
the fundamental forces of human life
originate. The farm is the power
house OF all progress and the birth
place of all that is noble. The Gar
den of Eden was in the country and

MAY STOP TALKING
AMONG THE WOMEN

Albany, ~ Y, Feb. 20,-Inmates of
the state prison for women here prob
ably will lose their recently granted
liberty of conversation. The rule per-
hitting general conversation at meals
and in the shop was adopted at the
suggestion Of two young women in
vestigators who voluntarily entered
the prison several months ago to study
conditions there.
The chief matrons report today
shows that the rule has not worked
well, because the opportunity has been
used by some to engage in vile Ian
guage and degraded discussions"
Prison Commissioner Wade today
recommended that the conversational
period be limited to half an hour each
period and again at the close of the
day.

To EXTRACT RADIUM
FROM 100 TONS ORE

Denver, Col, Feb. 2O.-The treat
ment of $50 tons of pitch blended o.1
product of a Colorado mine, was be-
gun here today for the purpose of eX-
tracing its radium contents. Hospit-
ais and other humanitarian institu-
lions are to receive the refined pro-
duct. None of the product is to be
sold, according to instructions received
here from l. A Dupont of New Jersey,
owner of the ore.
The value of the radium contents
cannot be estimated, except on the
speculative basis that two tons Of
Uranium metal are the equivalent Of
Los grams of radium bromide of
which there are only two or three in
use in the United States. On this basis
the ore would have a value of about

WAYCROSS GIRL

Just how the clothes of little Inez

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 20.-The po-
sition of wireless apparatus upon the
steamship Monroe, sunk by the Nan
tucket off the Virginia coast with a
loss of life of forty-one, made it i'm
possible to send out IS. o. S" calls eX-
cept for few seconds after the
crash. Testimony to this effect was
given by Robert L. Etheridge, a wire
less operator aboard the Monroe, who
today was the principal witness at the
trial of Capt Osmyn Berry of the
Nantucket charged with negligence.
Ethridge said the wireless outfits
were misplaced on nearly all coast
wise vessels and declared that botn
the auxiliary, or extra switches, and
the telephone to the pilot house should
be placed at points convenient to ths
wireless operator.
IF the auxiliary switch had been
placed so / could have reached it. he
testified, Il would have turned on a
storage battery We kept in reserve,
and stuck until we got an answer to
our s. O.. s. calls"
The witness said that he left the
wireless room twenty-seven seconds
after the crash and that the other
wireless operator preceded him by
seventeen seconds.
Ethridge admitted under cross ex-
animation that if he or the other ope-
rator had remained in the room a
trife longer the distress signal could
have been sent out again by reason of
the auxiliary dynamo being placed in
commission.
Andrew Sjedin, the bow lookout of
the Monroe, also was a witness. He
corroborated virtually all that Captain
johnson had said about the collision
and declared all the cargo ports and
passenger gangway had been closed
before leaving Norfolk.
