Decadence of Rural Churches "One out of every nine country churches have been abandoned in recent years. Only one-third . are increasing in membership and two-thirds have either ceased growing or are dying Eightythree 'per cent have less than 100 merabere ; 21
,per cent have less than 25; 27 per cent have be
tween 25 and 50; and 34 per cent, have between
50 and 100. Only six per cent have individual
; preachers, while 26 per cent share ministers with another church ; 23 per cent have one-third the time of a minister; 27 per cent have one-fpurth f time; 14 per cent have one-fif tH time ; 5 per cent
have one-sixth time. A larsre - proportion '
preachers receive about the same pay as a day laborer. Less than 40 per cent of the rural population are church members." :
These are some of the facts in the survey of rural religious life in Ohio which will be dis
cussed at the national convention of the Commission on Church and Country Life, in Columbus, Ohio, next month. ' Preliminary announcements of the Commission say the Ohio survey is the most comprehensive and detailed ever under
taken in the United States. Indiana ,has .wrestled with thersarnV problem; Church life in the rural sections of the state was discussed at a conference held at Purdue not so long ago. Results identical with those revealed in the Ohio survey were found in Indiana, and methods of combatting the evil received the same painstaking attention the national convention intends to give the problem. f it: seems to be the opinion that country ministers are but of touch with rural conditions, and that as a result farmers have gradually drifted .away from the churches, leaving the church buildings as -silent exponents of a religious life that once thrived, but now has become dormant, and in many instances paralyzed. The rehabilitation of country churches has called forth scores of solutions. Denominational leaders differ as to the proper course. Concrete meanV of : promoting community church work in rural, districts are summarized thus in the report ' : --J-'j''-:'-"First, . rural ministers and church leaders during the next year will receive publications
issued by; the Commission on Church and Country Life devoted id the problems of rural church federations and combinations." This will prepare the way for discussion of church co-operation. .Then in. each township or natural cxiramanity; churches will be' urged to fbrtfi a federation; with "delegates and ministers from each church forming a supenrisory committee to co-ordmi connhunity activities: timately 4his federation might employ a common minister and pay. him a salary aidequate' to allow him to undertake . wider social work. : In many cases-Mthesechurches could merge. Denominational connen ;with a certain church organisation ; could be maintained, but withhvthe community sectarian differences would be largely ignored ,
v -:: Bald Headed Men Cheer Up" A bald headed man is held up to ridicule by his friends; whether rightly so "or not. His shining dome is compared with an ivory ball, with an onion, with a skating rink. Even' those men whose hair is falling put do not escape the gibes of their associates, for the vision of a head devoid of natural covering is constantly held before them. '.r ! " ". Here is aiword of comfort f or those who belong in' this afflicted class. . They have consolation, and a. big one that there's no chance that they- ever win go insane. This, is .the finding of Dr. Robert Br Clark, a lifelong student of insanity and mental diseases.' Here is his opinion: "I have examined several . hundred patients regarding their sanity. - I have had the opportunity of studying many hundreds of others in the asylums of the country, and in all of my experience I have yet, with a single exception, to see an insane man who was bald headed."
. , Enterprising Cambridge City Canibrrdge City was the first-city in Wayne county to adopt the cluster light system in its business district. Therein it was a pioneer in the community. Now the editor of the newspaper printed there is offering a prize to the boy and girl who clears the largest number of stones off the National road in Wayne county between Nov. 25
and Dec. 26. The movement is a good one. Why
not keep the main highway of Wayne county in
fine condition? Why not encourage children in
the advantages of good roads and in their up keep?
Enterprise is shown in another direction in
that community. The banks and trust compan
ies of Cambridge City have deposits amounting
to $534,855.09. This is a good showing for a
small community. A half million dollars en
trusted to the banks and trust companies shows that residents of western Wayne county are
thrifty and believe in laying aside money for
future investments and to provide a competence
for old age.

.WHISTLING JOHNSON. ' . t - In the forties a familiar figure on
the streets of Richmond was Whist
ling Johnson. He owned a cart and a
quiet old horse. Early-in the morning he mounted to his seat In the cart
and passed up and down the streets
looking for' a job.. He whistled from
morning to night. His whistle was as
good as a bell to signal his approach.
It could be heard a square away.. This outfit was' the merchants delivery of
that day. For a leven penny Dit 12V& cents he would transfer almost
anything that could be placed in bis cart. '
One' morning when a gentleman was leaving bis house after breakfast, his wife aaked him to send a bag of flour as she wanted to bake the next morn
ing. ' She had prepared her ' sponge
(sometimes called sots) and waited
for the flour, but none came. The following morning she spoke to her husband again about the flour, and he said he told Johnson to bring it the day before. Then as he walked toward the village he met Johnson with
his cart, and said to him, "You'd bet
ter hurry up, my wife is waiting for that flour." Johnson asked, "Will your wife scold?" The man relied, "Not loud, but deep." . Johnson owned a neat cottage in which he lived with his daughter, who was no longer a young girl. In the course of time Johnson was gathered to his Father's, and Rebecca was left alone in the cottage. She was a member of the Methodist church, as was also a tailor In the village named John L John was a good tailor and a good Methodist, but he had an unfortunate personality. He had long legs and a short body. His shoulders had been injured in infancy, causing a permanent deformity' John had no home and Rebecca was lonely, so they decided to; be . married in order to assist each other. They lived happily In the cottage for Several years and then sold the property and bought a small piece of land In the country in order to raise vegetables for the village market and to allow Rebecca to continue making the good" soft soap, for which she was noted. One day when they were preparing to go to town in the spring wagon, Rebecca told John she wanted to take a barrel of soft soap to one of her customers, but John objected. He reminded her of the long hill which they must pass. He said the mare was skittish and he was afraid the soap might be spilled; but Rebecca having a mind of her own, insisted on taking the soap. John loaded the barrel into the tail end of the wagon and started to town. All went well until they were half way down' the foresaid hill, when the mare beame skittish and jerked the wagon from side to side, sometimes into a rut and then over a boulder, finally the seat of the wagon jostled from its place and John and Rebecca were landed on; their back's' far the bottom of the wagoa. At this auspicious moment the. soap barrel tilted for
ward and poured, its .contents into the wagon bed. John scrambled out quickly and caught, the horse, but Rebecca was unable to extricate herself; John returned to her assistance, and when he -had got her onto the side of the road the soap was dripping from the crown .of her. head to the soles of her feet She looked first at herself and then at John, reproachfully, as if. to say, "This is all yooir fault." But John defended himself by saying, "I told you so; I did not want to bring that barrel of soap." How they got rid of the soap or how they returned home I can not tell, not being on the ground at the time. These people have ..all ."passed on" more than twenty years ago, and I am left to tell the tale as 'twas told to me. MRS.. S. A. V RIG LEY.

BEGAN LIFE AS A COAL MINER
iim.HMH mi at linn im in i tit i 1
A story of American pluck, perseverance and ambition is that of Rev. N. W.Matthews formerly "of Plymouth-, Pa., now pastor of the First Primitive Methodist church of Lowell, Mass., who began life as the son of a miner, and winning his way up in the world until he is today a member of the faculty of the Primitive Methodist Theological School and pastor of a prosperous church. Nathan W. Matthews, when a mere lad. worked in the coal mines near Hazelton, Pa. Rev. Mr. Matthews says that among other evils suffered by miners, none is more dangerous and harder to overcome notwithstanding the improved conditions under the inspector system, than the injury to health. The miners,
Today Is Successful Clergyman. spending so much of their time under ground, in dampness and dust, causes many to become broken in health long before their time. These conditions cause wasting away of the body, miners' asthma, sore throat, bronchitis, and serious throat and lung troubles. To overcome this condition nourishment for the blood and food for the tissues of the body is needed, and Rev. Mr. Matthews says: "I have no hisitation in recommending Father John's Medicine as the best remedy prescribed for the ailments referred to above. Its purity and wholesomeness and nourishing qualities are exactly suited for building up and restoring to health those exposed to the conditions existing in Pennsylvania, and for all suffering from miners' asthma, throat and' lung troubles, colds,' grip and debilitated systems. I have used it in my family with wonderful sucess." - This old remedy soothes and heals the throat and lungs, and its' food elements nourish the body, by enabling the stomach to assimilate food and forcing nutrition into the blood, by which each organ of the body 'is strengthened and made to do its proper work. Its ingredients contain the same material, and it gives vital force to the system by which disease is overcome and prevented. It is not a patent medicine. Contains no alcohol or dangerous drugs. Adv.

I tried plasters -and medicine, but nothing I did seemed , to help ne until I took Peruna.
