Miami, Sept. ga movement is
on foot in Dade county to ask the
Citrus Seminar to be held at Gaines
Vile the first week in October to
adopt resolutions asking the Federal
government to take full charge OF
the fight against citrus canker in
the citrus growing States Just as II
does, for instance, of the fight
against the foot and mouth disease
in cattle.
The sum of 100000 is suggest
ed as a proper one to insure the
stamping out of the disease in the
citrus States, Florida, Louisiana and
Texas from which the disease was
brought into Florida, being men
toned in the activities Of the Dade
county growers who wish the matter
taken up by the government.
The agricultural department took
up the fight against the foot and
mouth disease which broke out in
the North last summer, carrying on
fights AGAINST it in Michigan, llli-
nois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
New York and several other States.
It is contended that there is just as
much reason why it should take M
the fight against citrus canker.
Conservative fruit men are against
making much of the resolution at
Gainesville, believing it best to work
quietly with the representatives OF
the citrus growing States to induce
them to take the matter up. Since
the State appropriated $4,000 al
the last session of the Legislature
the work has been carried on in

PASTOR AND EVANGELIST

1t is a universal truth that the
worm will turn" 1t is patient,
timid and long suffering, but give
it time and the turning will como.
There was an example of this last
week, when DR.. J. C. Arbuckle, one
/ of the superintendent of the Ohio
Methodist Conference, spoke out
openly and boldly against the pull
pit gypsies who go about setting up
tents and berating the pastors of
the churches"
There were in his audience about
. 100 of his colleagues, and they
listened to him with attention and
appreciation. These men were SELF
ordained to their work, regarding
it as the hidghest calling man could
follow. They had made preparation
| for it through years of study, and
had given it the best of their philan-
thropic and mental efforts. To see
themselves set aside by an itinerant
evangelist with a Gift of appeal and
spectacular vocabulary was GER
| tainly a hardship. Many of these
men, earnest, conscientious workers.
seeing the tumult raised by these
evangelists, felt themselves to be but
failures in their chosen fields; and
the disbursement was bitter.
| 1t is not to be denied that the
evangelist often accomplishes much
good He is, as arule, man of
more or less mesmerism of manner.
for no other kind succeeds in stir
ring up the multitudes. Pastors
sometimes drop into rut of relig-
ious services, led on to it often by
the Indifference of their congrega-
tions. The itinerant evangelist may
lift him and his flock out of his rut
and thereby do good work
But the inflammable preacher
goes on his way. and thepastor re-
mains He is the friend of his pee

is he who does for them the
things of daily life-he blesses theil
marriage VOWS, baptizes their child
rem, prays for their sick, heals thei'
unneighborly differences, com.
mends their departing ones to the
mercy of God and buries their deaJ

sunshine is paid with a niggard
hand.
There is the acme of ingratitud"
and injustice. And there too. many
perhaps lie, in part, an explanation
Of why SO many become pulpit
gypsies." Some of course, are tenn
peramentally that way, but they all
see in this nomadic life the larger
mark.
Necessarily this salary discrimina-
tion against him Is bitterness to
the faithful pastor, whose children
must be clothed and educated as are
other children.
There is no class of workers more
parsimoniously paid than the
preachers of the world-of all de-
nominations. They come early to
discover that saving the souls of
others is a poor way to make living
for ones self; and it is not surpris-
ing to see them begin to protest
against the inequality of the treat
ment extended to them, compared
to the adulation and generosity
heaped upon the transient evangel-
list.
One well-known man who joins in
this general protest is DR.. Aked
known on two continents as an ex-
FOUNDER of religious truths. He ao-
hors the spectacular feature of these
"revivals," and revolts against the
pulpit slang" in which the dis
courses are couched. His verbal tilt
with a well known evangelist recent
lyl caused much comment. To him
religion is matter of heart and in
tellect, not of an overheated imagi-
nation, and he does not scruple to
say so.
Every thinking person will agree
with him; but at the same timf
every observant person knows thai
if there are to be no more pulpit
gypsies'' there must be an awaken
ing of zeal through the pastors
themselves. Apathy in religion
means stagnation all along the line
of the higher things of life.-tMem-

NEW YORK-In order to save It's
big collection of promising young play
ers who will have to be released when
the major league season begins, 1t Is
not unlikely that the New York Giants
will buy minor league club before
next season, where the young players
can be farmed out 1t is stated that
one of the clubs in the international
league might be purchased for this
purpose.
Several of the major league clubs
have this idea in mind and that was
the reason that Manager Higgins Of
St Louis and Manager Herzog of Gin
cinnati both put in bids for the Buff
falo club of the International league.
. The major leaguers say that the
new. rule restricting their clubs to q
men means that they will have to re-
lease several players who are really
good enough to be taken up by the
class A clubs, which includes the In
ternational league, the American As
soeiation and the Pacific Coast league.
