FEW CIRCUIT RIDERS LEFT
Picturesque Figures Of the Religious
Life of the Rural Districts Are
Rapidly Passing.

Tie circuit rider, that most pic
turesque figure in the religious life of
the country In the rural districts, is
passing away almost as rapidly as is
the cowboy. In the earlier life of the
country, with his saddlebags, his
tracts and his Bible, travelling on
horseback through the wilderness, he
was vital factor In the life of the in
habitants along the frontiers and in
the sparsely settled districts. Without
him many community would have
heard no preaching from years end to
years end unless 1t were from the lips
of lay exhorter; many bride would
have felt herself but half married with
no minister to perform the ceremony.
and the dead would have been laid to
rest without religions comfort to the
survivors.
The circuit rider of the early days,
though his visits might be few and far
between, was nevertheless an integral
part in the religious and social life Of
the communities on his circuit. His
coming was eagerly expected and the
pioneers In the wilderness were loath
to see him go.
The rapidity with which he is disap-
pearing may be gained from study
of the circuit system in rural Method
ism as shown by the annual conference
minutes, using the number of churches
per charge as basis. Of the rural
charges $3.50, or 81 per cent. are sta
tons; 1924, or 26 per cent. are cir
cults having two churches; 1920 have
three churches to circuit; S15 have
four; 2S2 have five. while. but TT cir
cults, or ] per cent, have more than
five churches to q circuit. In other
words more than half of the rural
Methodist churches now have minis
tiers who do not have to devote part
of their time to other churches. The
figures show that 1000 or more
charges included in this study have
not more than two points to circuit.
The surviving circuit system is most
marked in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi-
ana, Tennessee, southern Missouri, Illi-
nois and West Virginia. The cente-
nary movement of the Methodist
Episcopal church will doubtless have
the effect of fastening the departure
into oblivion of the circuit rider in
some sections of the country, as part
of the money derived from the joint
centenary drive for $S0,000,000 for
world upbuilding, mission and church
extension will be devoted to the rural
church. In other sections, however,
it has been found that the efficiency
of the Methodist Episcopal church will
be materially increased by extending
the circuit system on the parish plan.
This applies, however, to the less
favored sections of the country; in
the more developed sections a pastor
with but two churches to care for has
more than he can look after if he con-
siders his task one of community up
building as well as of community serv-

Finally Daphne, claiming the ma

"Boudoirwear," and claimed the vic

the amendment that ''Miss Kip"
should be at one side, "Mrs. Chivvis"
at the other. She bribed the assem-

home at HenrS's Cross Roads Thurs
day evening, about eight o'clock, fol-
lowing an illness of over 4 year, al
though she had been confined to her
bed only about three weeks. The
cause of death was carcinoma. Ev-
cry effort was made to save her life,
but in vain. She was taken to the
Cambridge Hospital, but it was found
that nothing could be done for her
there; then DR.. Kelley's treatment
was tried, but she weakened so rap
idly after the first treatment that
she did not live until the time for
the second.
Mrs. Wiley was a merchant, and
she will be greatly missed by the
people. She was of bright and
cheerful disposition, always ready
for fun, and she naturally became
very popular with the young people.
She was about thirty-six years of
age Besides her husband she is
survived by three children, Delma,
aged IA; Eldridge, aged 8, and Vir-
ginia, aged years. She is also sur
