The Need of Men.

The decadence of the country church and
its sorely needed redivivus is a subject that lies
heavily on the heart OF religious economists as
we'll as others interested in this vital element of
our national life. Many plans and proposals
for accomplishing the improvement have been
advanced or tried out, all with Indifferent sue
cess. The problem exists today as acutely as II
no solution had been attempted. What is the
real need? The question is answered by
Kenyon l.. Butterfield, Michigan college presi-
dent. rural sociologist author OF Chapters IN
Rural Progress" and "The Country Church and
Rural Problems" and last but not least, former
president Of the Roosevelt Country Life commits
sion. And this is what President Butterfield
says:

Omaha's Permanent Attractions.

Ak-Sar-Ben visitors should have their atten-
ton drawn to some OF Omaha's permanent at
fractions, as we'll as to the temporary exhibits
OF the festival period. AS long as the guests
are here, let them be sure to see some OF the
substantial beauties and blessings which we
enjoy the year round. with the automobile to
facilitate matters, trips may easily be made
through tho handsome residential portions of
the city, the parks, numerous and beautiful,
and, by no means least, our impressive public
buildings, schools and churches. Sabbath days
as we'll as other days must be spent by many Of
our visitors in the imperial city Of Quivera, and
where can time be better spent these days
than in the churches which dot every section of
Omaha? What we specially want everyone who
comes here to do is to get better acquainted with
all features OF our life that we believe should
appeal to him.

THE MEDIATOR.

Blessed arc the peacemakers for tn,
hail inherit the kingdom OF heaven"
Iolv Writ.
Mlnna Irving in Leslie's.
When warning kings and emperors
From battle seek surcease,
They turn to kindly Uncle Sam
Whose middle name is Peace.
He puts aside the apple crop
And let's the harvest wait,
To listen TO their grievances,
And try to mediate.
No scepter giitters in his hand,
No Jewels on his brow,
No royal ermine trims his coat,
Yet monarchs TO him bow,
For in the councils of the world
To every creed and clan
He stands for peace, and represents
The brotherhood of man.
A good old-fashloned brother, he
About his business goes,
And never NEEDLES with the feuds
OF either friends or foes,
But when they seek his aid to check
A carnival OF gore,
He Is the first to help them sheathe
Their crimson swords once more.
When future ages weigh the worth
or deeds immortal 10!
To Uncle Sam the palm Of peace
And need of praise will go;
For IL is not the hand of war
From fields of battle CORY,
But peace that to nation gives
The brightest crown of glory.
