BUSINESS AND THE MINISTRY

The trustees of Plymouth Church in
Brooklyn did a magnanimous thing
the other day when they voted to re-
tain as their pastor the Rev. Newell
Dwight Hills. The comment aroused
by the financial reverses through
which Doctor Hills has just passed
has revived a pressing church prob
lem. Should the minister be allowed
to engage in enterprises other than his
own profession?
The answer of the church to this
question has always been decided
negative. Some churches demand that
their pastor shall engage in no kind
of physical labor To meet the re-
Quirement of the modern church, our
ministers must be something different
and apart from other men.
Doctor Hills, aside from his profes-
sional work, spends several months IN
each year upon the chautauqua plat
form He not only broadens the scope
of his own influence but widens the in
fiuence of the church and brings to
thousands of men the message which
could never reach them from his
Brooklyn pulpit.
The duty of the minister is to serve
as leader and an inspiration to 9TH
er men, and he can be of the greatest
service only when he meets the great
est possible number of men under the
best possible conditions. Too many
ministers are deficient in their knowl-
edge of business matters. No minister
can properly understand men until he
is able to project himself into their
lives and see things from their indi-
vidual viewpoints. And how can he do

FEVER WEATHER NOW

The football bug will get you if you
don't watch out It's catching. Like
many other diseases, it can be taken
free, or you can get larger inocu-
lation by paying a small fee to the
athletic doctor Severe cases are
healthy.
Sure it's chilly. But football fever
fiourishes in crisp weather.
Indian Schultz is eliminating the
buck fever from some men who are
inclined to be yellow, and is substt-
tuting for that failing a real aggres-
siveness which produces a rosy red.
The symptoms of such a malady
sometimes are evident in nocturnal
sounds, unknown to other animals.
Some say that our freshmen are "rah
material, so are sophomores. juniors,
seniors, alumni and citizens of Colum-
bia. The more organized noise We can
make at football games, the better
we'll feel and the better the Tigers
will play.
Get your activity ticket and attend
the games.
Learn the NJ. U. songs.
Practice the Varsity yells.
Yes, get the football fever and pass
it on vigorously.

The Open Column
A Farmers Land Bank.

Editor the Missourian: There is
more money invested in, and made on,
land every year in Missouri. The land
bank schemes are a political recogni-
ton of this.
The land bank might do much good
for the agricultural interests of the
state. but it is not essential. The
Gardner Land Bank Bills provision to
lend one-half the value of the land can
be exceeded in private finance. In al
most any section, much greater per
centage of the land value can be bor-
rowed by any man of ability and hon
esty from private banks and money
lenders. These banks, eager to lend,
will supply as much as is safe, con-
sidering the character behind the
loan.
The thing that is needed is not so
much a state bank, but a better man
agement of much of the land. If a
store were managed as the average
small Missouri farm, it would last lit
tie longer than it takes the sheriff to
advertise the sale. A business man
must know his stock. The farmer who
is a business man is the one who is
financial success.
There is no imperative need of
law regulating farm loans There is
coming, instead, a recognition of the
economic fact that the farmer must
be a farm manager and that he must
be as carefully trained for success
on the land as for success in pro-
fession. III.

Since the municipal authorities are
