LOSSES IH RURAL CHURCHES

May Sale ol Embroideries

leadership, no progressive idealism. “In Marshal, representing the north, Boone the center, and Daviess county the southern part of the state of Indiana, 232 churches were studied for growth or decay. It was found that 38 per cent, were growing, 61.4 per cent, were standing still or decaying. During this time the rural population was decreasing only 5 per cent.

Dr. Lumley, in Address, Says Rural Church Decrease is Due to Colleges.

“In Doviess county, out of 70 churches, 17 were prospering, 14 were standing, 31 losing and eight were dead. It was clear that over three- fourths were failing to serve their communities.

Colleges and seminaries were made to share the blame for the decayed condition of country

churches in an address on “The Country Church,” by F. E. Lumley, of the College of Missions, at the Central Christian church, Indianapolis, last week before the state convention of the Indiana Christin Missionary Association. Dr. Lumley dealt with the situation in strong terms, saying the responsibility for the tremendous failure of the country churches rested with the leadership. His argument was backed by statistics proving his charge ns to conditions in Indiana. He also cited statis. tics showing the underpaid nature of the ministry ns n profession, directly tracing the failure of the minister to lack of proper training for his field. “Two-thirds of the church membership is in the country,” said Dr. Lumley in his morning address.

“In Jefferson township, Boone county, one was standing, four losing and two dead. Not one was a ministering church. The population in this section decreased 14 per cent. The membersliip decrease was 35 per cent.

A Denver & Rio Grande railroad man, out of Mintnrn, visited a moving picture show at Grand Junction the other evening. The star picture was a representation of a girl diving. The scene opened on the banks of a sonny stream. The girl, carrying a suit case, appears, bows to the audience —or to the camera—and takes from the suit case a perfectly regulation bathing suit, which she holds up for everybody to see, and then lays it down on the suit case. She removes her hat. She kicks off her shoes, peels off her hose, unbuttons her waist, and then, just as the situation is awakening breathless interest or causing embarrassment, along comes a freight train. When the last car vanishes there stands the girl inside the perfectly regnlation bathing suit. She bows once more and then dives into the water.

“Here is one of the church's greatest resources, from a money standpoint, lying nntapped. It has been proved that from these sections comes the majority of the leaders. Spiritually the possibility of the country for soul culture and God-likeness are not unknown. From the standpoint of opportunity no field known is more rewarding, none more determinative of fundamental forces in American life. There is no place where we get on the bedrock of social processes so well, where the raw material of society is given so vital an impress.

"Few country problems hinge on the city, but doxeus of city problems will find their solution in the economic, political and spiritual regeneration of rural society. Only 10 to 15 per cent, go to the city, but they include the physical and intellectual backbone of the urban civilization. If this per cent, was as strong mentally and spiritually it would not only withstand the strains on moral and intellectual life, but purify and cleanse them.

The railroad man, who had viewed the pretty scene with a vigilant eye, hastened to the bos office.

Money Saved by Fire Marshal Law.

became convinced that fires can be prevented. They co-opernted with the State Fire Marshal’s office, and fires were prevented ns has been shown.

“How long's that diving girl picture going to be on?” he inquired. “All week,’’ replied the man in the box office. “Why?” “This is Monday,” soliloquized the railroad man. Then to the ticket clerk: “Gimme six tickets.” As he passed out the tickets the clerk inquired what there was about the picture that interested him. “We always like to know,” he continued, “what pleases our patrons.” “Well,” replied the patron, stowing the tickets carefully in a pocketbook. "It’s just this way. I’m a railroad man. I know the game from A to Z and it’s a cinch that train’s going to be late one night out of the six.” —Marble Booster.

What may be accomplished in Indiana under I he now Fire Marshal Law is well illustrated by the record made in Ohio, where a State Fire Marshal has been at work since 1900.

If fires had continued in Ohio at the rate shown for 1901, the loss for the last eleven years would have been $123,158,079. As a matter of record, under the Fire Marshal Law, the actual losses for the eleven years totaled $79,914,480.

During 1901 there were 7,011 tires in Ohio, causing a loss of $11,196,189. During 1911 there were 4,930 fires and a total loss < f $5,718,120. Ohio’s State Fire Marshal has lowered the annual number of fires by 2,000 and he lias cut the losses in half- And it is a noteworthy fact that while the average fire loss for 1901 was $1,600, the figure had been reduced to about $1,150 during 1911. This indicates the elimination of conditions tending toward fire, and the consequent prevention of rapid spreading of flames. Fire.s are now extinguished before they do the damage that was common in 1901. It should be borne in mind, also, that Ohio has increased materially in population since 1900. and that the reduction in the number of fir-s and in the afigregate losses has been accomplished notwithstanding. Indiana has approximately onelialf the population of Ohio, and it is fair to presume that Indiana's present tire losses are about onehalf those of Ohio in 1901. This ! would be about $5,500,000. It is j shown that during 1911 in Ohio there was 60 cents in insurance for every dollar of value in burned property. Taking this as a basis for Indiana, $2,200,0J0 vanishes in smoke in one year in Indiana—with nothing left behind it but total loss. The remaining $3,300,000 wonld be covered by insurance, but it must be remembered that the people pay this great sum with their insurance premiums. Those who do not suffer fire losses pay the losses of those who do,

"Practically no institution is so far behind the procession as the country church. There is remarkable progress in every other phase of rural society, but the country church shows a well developed case of sleeping sickness. It has been outdistanced, overshadowed, repudiated by life about it. Instead of going in to win, it has overslept and given up the race. It is least and last in the thoughts of the country people. This sounds like a grave charge, and it is.

The Fire Marshal Law, efficiently administered, has saved the people of Ohio in eleven years $43, 243,593. In proportion to its size, Indiana can do as well.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CUBE*

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portions of the e«r. There is only one way to cnre deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Enstaohain Tube. When this tube gets Inflamed you have a rambling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal conditio-. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are oansed by catarrh, which is nothing bat su inflamed cardition of the mucous surfaces.

“The problem now is not how to get more acres, bat to get more per acre. There is not a community today that has not its agricultural experiment station making experiments with soils climate, grains, fruits. New grains are being discovered to grow where what was tried would not grow. It is no longer a question of what to study with the agriculturist. The flood of literature of practical value is so great that be must either choose to digest some of it for his own use, or be buried alive. It used to be that the farmer saw nothing in life but work, and the result was work drained children, but today they gave place to the play spirit. “The church has had very little part in this progress.

A fool, a barber and a bald headed man were traveling together. Losing their way, thej were obliged to sleep in the open air, and to avert danger it was agreed to watch by turns. The first lot fell on the barber, who for amusement shaved the poor fool’s head while he was sleeping. He then woke him, and the fool, raising his band to scratch his head, exclaimed: “Yon have awakened the bald headed man instead of me.”—Boonville Enquirer.
