It was extinguished without damage. The fact that some 235,000 Indiana voters at the November election registered their desire for the creation of a constitutional Convention to rewrite the state charter is ample justification for the calling of the state conference on the question of a new constitution for Indiana, which will be held at Indianapolis on Tuesday, January 26. While the proposition did not carry when it was originally submitted to the people, the votes in its favor represent so imposing a total of Indiana citizenship as to leave no doubt that, with wider opportunity for consideration and discussion, the people will emphatically register their approval of constitutional revision.

It is not likely that any English speaking people understand so keen and punctilious a devotion to the niceties of language as that which characterizes the French gramma rians. We may help ourselves tc understand it perhaps by reading a story told of M. Lamany. One night he awoke and sprang out of bkl with a wild cry. His wife came running. He was in alarm and despair. “Why, what is the matter?” she gasped. “I dreamed,” said the professor. “Oh, 1 had a horrible, a heartrending dream!” “What was it?” “1 dreamed I was talking, and 1 distinctly heard myself utter a sentence which had a grammatical error in it!” ■ J■ — Warwick tne Kingmaker. The Earl of Warwick, commonly called the “kingmaker,” from the faculty with which he created and deposed monarchs during the contest between the houses of York and Lancaster, lived in a style of magnificence and hospitality of which no other period furnishes an example. No less than 30,000 persons are said to have lived at his board in the different manors and castles which he possessed, and the military, allured by his hospitality as well as his bravery, were strongly attached to his interests. This distinguished warrior fell at the battle of Barnet in 1471, when, owing to the mistake of one part of his army falling upon the other-dttrnfg ?t fog, he was defeated by Edward IV.

ENDS KIDNEY AND BLADDER TROUBLES Few Doses Stops Backache, Relieves Rheumatic Pains and Bladder Disorders It is no longer necessary for any one to suffer wi*h backaching, kidney trouble, have disagreeable bladder and urinarydisorders to contend with, or be tortured with rheumatism, stiff joints and its heart-wrenching pains, for the new discovery, Croxone, quickly and surely ends all such miseries. Croxone is the most wonderful remedy yet devised for the cure of such troubles because it removes the cause. It is entirely different from all other remedies. It soaks right into the kidneys, through the walls and finings; cleans out the clogged up pores; neutralizes and dissolves the poisonous uric acid, and makes the kidneys filter and sift from the blood all the poisonous waste matter that clog the system and cause such troubles. It matters not how long you have suffered, how old you are, or what you have used,, the very principle of Croxone is such, that it is practically impossible to take it into the human system without results. There is nothing else on earth like .it. . If you suffer with pains tn your back, and sides, or have any signs of kidney, bladder trouble, or rheumatism, such as puffy swellings under the eyes or m the feet and ankles, if you are nervous, tired, and run down, or bothered with sleep disturbing urinary disorders, Croxone jvill quickly relieve your misery.

THEM! CHURCH THE FARMERS THE CUSTODIANS OF THE NATION'S MORAuITY Co-operation of Church, School and Press Essentai to Community Building By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers’. Union. The church, the press and the school form a triple alliance oi piogrtss that guides the destiny of every commun ity, state and nation Without them civilization would wither and die and through them life may attain its great est blessing, power and Knowledge. The farmers of this nation are greatly indebted to this social triumvirate for their uplifting influence, and on behalf of the American plowmen I want to thank those engaged in these high callings for their able and efficient service, and 1 shall offer to the press a series of articles on cooperation between these important influences and the farmers in the hope of increasing the efficiency of all by mutual understanding and organized effort. We will tak< up, first, the rural church The Farmers Are Great Church Builders. The American farmer is the greatest church builder the world has ever known He is the custodian of the nation’s morality; upon his shoulders rests the “ark of the covenant’’ and he is more responsive to religious in fluences than any other class of citizenship The farmers of this nation have built 120,000 churches at a, cost of $750,000,000 and the annual contribution of the nation toward all church per annunr The farmers of the Uni ted States build 22 churches per day. ‘ There are 20,000,000 rural church com municants on the farm and 54 per cent of the tptal membership of all churches reside in the country. The farm is the power house of all progress and the birthplace of all that is noble The Garden of Eden was in the country and the man who would get close to God must first get close to nature The Functions Os a Rural. Church. If the rural Churches today are going to render a service which this age demands, there must be co-operation between the religious, social and eco ; ncmic life of the community The church to attain its fullest measure of success must enrich the lives of the people in the community it serves; it must build character, develop thought and increase the efficiency of human life. It must serve the social, business and intellectual as well as the spiritual and moral .side of life If religion does not make a man more capable, more useful and more just, what good is it? We want a practical religion, one we can live by and farm by, as well as die by. Fewer and Better Churches. Blessed is that rural community which has but one place <4 worship. While coihpetiticn is the life of trade, it is death to the rural church and moral starvation to .the community Petty sectarianism is a scourge that blights the life, ana the church preju dice saps the vitality, of many cc-m munities. An over churched commun ity is a crime against religion a serious handicap to society and a useless tax upon agriculture While denominations are essential and church pride, commendable, the high teaching of universal Christ ianity must prevail if the rural churph is to fulfill its mission to agriculture We frequently have three or four churches in a community which is not able to adequately support one Small congregations attend services once a month and al) tail to perform the re ligious functions of the community. The division of religious forces asd the breaking into fragments ofmoral efforts is ofttimes little tess than a calamity and defeats the very purpose they seek to promote. The evils of too many churches can be minimized by co-operation The social and economic life of a rural community are respective units and cannot be successfully divided by denominational lines, and the churches can only occupy this important field by co-operation and co-ordination The efficient country church will definitely serve its community by lead ing in all worthy efforts at community building, in uniting the people in al! co-operative endeavors for the gen eral welfare of the community and in arousing a real love for country life and loyalty to the country home and these results can only be successfully accomplished by the united effort of the press, the school, the church and organized farmers SAFE FROM THEM. -WUXO Visitor—-Wouldn’t you like to get outt Convict—Nix I’m here for having four wivex- —

The economic distribution of farm products is today the world’s greatest problem and the war, while it has brought its hardships, has clearly emphasized the importance of distribution as a factor in American agriculture and promises to give the farmers the co-operation of the government and the business men the solution of their marketing problem. This result will, in a measure, compensate us for our war losses, for the business interests and government have been in the main assisting almost exclusively on the production side of agriculture. While the depart ment of agriculture’ has been dumping tons of literature on the farmer telling him how to produce, the farmer has been dumping tons of products in the nation’s garbage can for want of a market. The World Will Never Starve. At no time since Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden have the inhabitants of this world suffered fronj lack of production, but some people have gone hungry from the day of creation to this good hour for the la-U< of proper distribution Slight variations in production have forced a change in diet and one locality has felt the pinch of want, while another surfeited, but the world as a whole has ever been''a land of plenty We now have less than one-tenth of the tillable land of the earth s surface under cultivation, and we not only have this surplus area to draw on but it is safe to estimate that in case of dire necessity one-half the earth’s population could at the present time knock their living out of the trees of the forest, gather it from wild vines and draw it from streams. No one should become alarmed; the world will never starve. The consumer has always feared that the producer would not supply him and his fright has found expres sion on the statute books of our states and nations and the farmer has been urged to produce recklessly and without reference to a market, and regardless of the demands of the consumer. Back to the Soil. The city people have been urging each other to move back to the farm, but very few of them have moved. We welcome our city cousins back to the soil and this earth’s surface con tains 16,092,160,000 idle acres Os till able land where they can make "a living by tickling the earth with a forked stick, but we do not need them so far as increasing production is con cerned; w r e now have all the producers we can use. The city man has very erroneous ideas of agricultural condi tions. The commonly accepted theory that w r e are short on production is all wrong. Our annual increase in duction far exceeds that of our in crease in population. The World as a Farm. Taking the world as one big farm, we find two billion acres of land in cultivation. Os this amount there is approximately 750,000,000 acres on the western and 1,260.000-000 acres pn the eastern hemisphere, in cultivation. This estimate, of course, does not in elude grazing lands, forests, etc., where large quantities of meat are produced The world’s annual crop approximates fifteen billion bushels of ce reals, thirteen billion pounds of fibre and sixty-five million ton? of meat. The average annual world crop so» the past five years, compared with the previous five years, is as follows: Past Half Previous Half Crops— Decade. Decade Corn (Bu.) 3,934,174.000 3.403.655.000 Wheatlßu.) 3,522,769.000 3.257,526.00a Oats (Bu) 4,120,017.000 3,508.315 000 Cotton(Bales) 19,863,800 17,541,200 The world shows an average in crease in cereal production of 13 per cent during the past decade, compared with the previous five years, while the world’s population shows an increase of only three per cent. The gain in production far exceeds that of oyr increase in population, and it is safe to estimate that the farmer can easily increase production 25 per cent if a remunerative market can be found for the products. In textile fibres the world shows an increase during the past half deeade in production of 15 per cent against a population increase of three per cent. The people of this nation should address themselves to the subject of improved facilities for distribution.

SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson V.—First Quarter. For Jan. 31, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. / — Text of the Lesson, Judg. xiii, 8- 16, 24, 25— Memory Verses, 12-14—Golden Text, Judg. xHi, 4—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This is another record of the Lori delivering His people by a strange instrument, strong physically, but very weak spiritually; one who might - have been a very great man for God if he bad kept himself wholly for God, yet honorable mention is made of him in Heb. xi, 32. The story of Samson cov? ers four chapters, xlii to xvi, of which our lesson chapter tells of the anuounceiMent of his coming, his birth and growth to manhood. The other three chapters tell of his doings, and whatever was worth while was by the Spirit of the Lord, who is mentioned four times (xiil, 23; xiv, 6, Iff; xv, 14). i It was during the longest period of Israel’s oppression that Samson was born and when he came to manhood began to deliver Israel. They did evil again in the sight of the Lord and were oppressed by the Philistines forty years (verse 1). The messenger from heaven, who apjjeared first to Manoah’s wife and later to Manoah, is mentioned fourteen times and is called the angel of the Lord teu times, the angel of God twice and the man of God twice. When asked his name by Manoah he replied It is “Wonderful” (verse 18, margin and R, V., text), which is the same name as in Isa. lx, 6, so that we recognize the Son of God. whose goings forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity (Mic. v, 2), who appeared to Gideon, to Moses, to Joshua and others. As here He appeared first to Manoah’s wife, It Is at least most interesting to note that He is first called “the angel of the Lord” in His appearing to Hagar, and it is written that “she called the name of the Lord, who spake unto her, Thou God seest me” (Gen. xvi. 7-13). This was also in connection with a child to be born, who was the first named before his birth, and there were just six others so named. It is worthy of note that as Manoah and his wife had no child, so It was also with Zacharias and Elizabeth, and in some respects the< boys were similar (compare lesson verses 4, 5 and Luke 1, 15-17). There is more in these Bible records than any of us have yet seen, and some day in the kingdom we wifMje surprised at their significance. We may not be able to tell why this man and his wife of the tribe of Dan were chosen to be. thus honored, but possibly they were devout, like the father and mother of John the Baptist. We may judge from lesson verse 8 that Manoah knew the Lord and knew how to pray and obtain an answer. The lesson is called A temperance lesson because his wife was forbidden to drink wine or strong drink (verses 4, 14) or to eat anything that cometh of the vine or anything unelean. The child was to be a Nazarite unto God all his life (verses 5,7). 5,7). The essential thought of such consecration was separation unto the Lord, and the full requirement is given in Num. vi, where it is seen that either man or woman might take such a vow’, but If they became defiled the days of their defilement were lost (verse 12). It was a vow only for a time, and when fulfilled the Nazarite might drink wine (verses 13, 20). In the case of Samson he was to be a Nazarite from birth to death, but he became defiled through his fellowship with Delilah (chapter xvi, 17-20). There were few Nazarites, and our Lord Jesus was the only perfect one in the sense of beiug w holly and always separated unto God. Because it is so costly to be a disciple (Luke xiv. 26, 27, 33) there are few disciples. It seems so much easier to be tn some measure conformed to this present evil age than to be wholly separated from it. Yet the Lord is ever looking for any willing ones that He may show Himself strong in their behalf (II Chron. xvi, 9). The Holy Spirit, the same who came upon Samson from time to time and who dwells in every true believer, has a greater desire’ to fill us than any bf us can desire to be tilled, for it >fe written, “The Spirit whom He made to dwell in us yearneth for us even unto jealous envy (Jas. iv, 5, R. V., margin), but the previous verse shows us that the great hindrance is -the friendship of this world. It is the valley of Sorek or‘the lap of Delilah or some such phase of worldliness that hinders us from beiug what He would like us to be. Samson was not in appearance a strong man, for had he been such the Philistines would not have wondered at his strength nor inquired the secret of it (chapter xvi, 5). As his birth was a special gift from God to his parents, as in the case of Isaac and John the Baptist, so was his great physical strength. We must first be born of God. born from above, and then if we are willing to be wholly separated unto Him He will work in us mightily both to will and to do it Is the privilege of every true believer to be strengthened with all might by Ills Spirit In the inner man: to be strong In the Lord and in the power of His might. But this can only be when we know our own weakness and cease to have any confidence in ourselves and yield fully to Him. —Should this dreadful war continue the Emperor of Germany may lose his job.
