When war broke out between the

That the churches in any COM

except the most rabid or blatant in
fidel whose egotism and self -conceit
blind his mind to the inestimable
value of Christianity. But to what

are the salt of the earth" Hence,
if all of His disciples are the light
Of the world and the salt of the
earth, the logical as well as the
scriptural conclusion lis that they
are the light of the community in
which they live. These declara-
TOMS, however, do not preclude the
possibility of the light going out

salt losing its sadness. But GER

EDUCATE MORE FARMERS

1t is coming to be recognized as
most obvious fact that if we as
a people are to again put our coun-
try on an equitable living basis we
must educate more farmers. Not
educate more farmer boys for pro-
fessions, but educate more BOYS
for FARMERS.
From the incipiency of the public
school up to within the last decade
the entire trend Of education has
been away from the farm and to-
ward the professions. Even the
manual training schools have tend
ed to swell the ranks Of the mechan-
zeal trades at the expense of the
farms.
No nation can achieve permanent
prosperity without a great and
prosperous farming class. When
the farm decays the national deter
iorates. Our farms are the very
life and heart of our Country.
Some, though, may ask how We
are to educate more farmers.
Very simple. Make every free
school in the land primarily an
agricultural school, and a literary
school as a secondary matter.
Bellies letters is not the browning
necessity of existence. Bread and
meat are. Educate the youth Of
the land first toward that which is
most vitality necessary to our ma
tional Life, and when this is accom-
plished, if there be leisure and
means for adding the frills, let
them be added.
Nine out of every ten high school
pupils on emerging from that school
enter the ranks of the toilers, in
some department or other. II in
their education the farm has not
only been made attractive to them,
but they have been given a thor
ough and practical knowledge Of its
workings, then large per cent. Of

necessity for cultivating every
foot Of ground this season. One Of
the first resources to be husbanded
in time of war is food for the army
and for the civilian population.
Without it any nation will be
brought to its knees, and that is
condition which is unthinkable for
the American people. And not only
should the farmers produce to the
utmost. Vacant lots and back
yards in every town should yield
their quota for the common good.
Every citizen should consider it in
cumbent upon him to do his share,
and he should do it. When this
spirit animates a nation of a hun
dred million patriotic people it will
require something more than words
and plots to conquer it.

persons would accuse the churches
of being wholly composed of united
bands of hypocrites for it matters
not to what extent sin, in its many
forms, may pervade the ranks of
any church, you will find within its
membership, consecrated men and
women. And it should be borne in
mind that it only requires a few of
the above mentioned class to be-
come the light of the community.
