Churches Waking Up.

days great problem in the realm of

Churches Waking Up.
After a generation Of semi-somno-
lence and acute beWilderment, the
church seems to be waking up. For
the church today is undoubtedly
stirred. prodded by conditions within
the world and within herself. AS a
whole, and as denominations, the
churches are fostering advance"
movements. At the bottom stratum
of society various emotional sects
are making amazing progress. Chris
tian education is dominant theme
in most church conferences. The
Sunday schools, which have suffered
a prolonged headache from the in
lection Of highbrowism in the off,
cial leadership. are forging ahead on
their own. As l have repeatedly
written, the most numerous and
potent forums in the land today
are the adult Bible classes, held in
churches.
Politicians and editors and public
men generally are showing a new
aWareness Of the potency and possi-
bllities of the church. She has the
motive and the might that can give
stability and a workable program
to our present social ferment. There
will be no great excesses among
a people who have accepted the will
of God as the guide of their lives
Communism stands no show
among seekers after Christian
brotherhood.
The Leaven of Life.
There used to be popular Jingle
in Sunday school conventions:
What kind of church would my
church be
If all of its members were Just
like me?"
For the proof of a church is less
in the sort of sermons the pastor
breaches than in the kind of lives
the members live. Alone among
organizations, the church insists
upon certain moral standards and
conduct on the part of its members
Its goal for every one is Christlike-
ness. Its members are called to
be saints" And, wonder of Won
ders, they have throughout the
ages, met this test.
OF course. there are hvpocrites
in the church, as in every other
walk of life. But the church is not
made up Of hypocrites AS every
honest observer, or student of sta
tisticS well knows, the very core
of the best in our common life is
made up of Christians. They are
the self-respecting and helpful
members of society. They give most
money to good causes. They are
the most formidable foe confront
ing forces of evil. They are the
makers of happy, wholesome homes.
They maintain societys highest
standards. They provide the leaven
for every community's life. They
humbly seek to represent Jesus
Christ among men.
In the present international emer-
genCy 1t is the Christians who
hold the world together" Churches
in Canada and the United States
are supporting the orphaned" mis-
sions in enemy countries. They are
maintaining the ties of official
Christian relations between all ma
tional groups. They are in closer
cooperation, as Protestants and as
Catholics, than ever before. They
are combating racial and religious
prejudice. They are responsible for
the absence of hatred in the war.
They are actively charting the out
lines Of new postwar world.
Wise is the patriot of the new
day who throws the best of his
energies into the service of the best
agencies for honoring God and
serving man-the Christian Church.

About Half
OF Tobacco
Is Cured

Taken as a whole, about half 81
the l94l tobacco crop in this section
has been cured, according to esn-
mates of growers. Some are further
along with their crop than others.
Most of the leaf is turning ont.
good good color but with less weigh,
and types that appear now to be
more abundant ne good quality
smoking grades. Adverse weather
conditions during the growing sea-
son reduced the yields.
Growers generally are greatly
pleased with the higher prices IF
inc leaf thai prevail in the Geor-
ga and Border Belts, where season
sales are we'll under way. 1t IS ey-
pcctCd mai these price levels Will
continue when the Eastern Carollu,
belt opens August &c, and when the
Middle Belt in this section begins Ii,
Scaso two weeks later, on Tuesday.
September 8.
Ii present prices continue, the re-
duccd yield viii be more than offset
to growers IN cash received by them
for their 1871 crop.
Some growers are being solicited
by spectators for sale of their crop
IN the barn, and some even before
curings have been completed. How
many growers are accepting these
offers there Is no way of knowing
exactly.
