FARM PRODUCES LARGEST
NUMBER OF MINISTERS

The interesting fact that the farm
leads all other fields in producing men
for the Christian ministry is revealed
in the survey of the nations resources.
which is being taken by the American
Education Department of the Inter-
church World Movement.
The neXt largest number of clergy
men come from the homes of minis
ters. From all other occupations the
number of those entering the pulpit is
50 small as to be almost negligible.
The hope is not only to make the
ministry a field which will attract men
of the right character. but in every
way to broaden the field Of vision of
clergymen-tO draw into ii not only
the sons of farmers and of clergymen,
but the sons of bankers and merchants
and lawyers and physicians and me-
chanicS so that professional church.
men will be in every way representa-
tive of all the phases Of life to which
the church appeals.

Deputy Sheriff Joe H. Dennis
and City Marshal Roe Strong
arrested Fred Bender at Grove
Spring Sunday on a charge of
stealing a team and wagon and
nine cases of eggs at Bakersfield
and selling the eggs at Olden. He
was brought to Mansfield and
turned over to Bob Mullens, a
Howell comfy officer, who came
after him. The team had been
driven so hard that they were
left here in the Hoover barn to
recuperate. Bender had $121 in
money and a Winchester in his
possession. He admitted the
