This question may startle some of the people in this community who thru the years have felt the security o f the Gospel o f the Son o f Man, But it is a question that is more than per­ tinent and it is certain it is Very vital question to every thinking man or woman. In a very recent meeting of the Field Men o f one o f the largest denominations in this country this was the theme o f the whole con­ ference. America must be Christian or it will he pagan. A ll the force* o f sin and destruction and paganism are rampant in the land. Night or day e fullest mag- this they are organized to th i posaible degree. Day by day the azinea and dailies tell us. in , that are not miatakable that Christ and His teachings are facing the real crisis o f all the centuries. Further ar­ gument to prove this would be pre­ suming on the mind of -the thinking men and women about us. But what shall we do? Certainly not fold our hands and quit. This is the answer that every man who calls himself a Christian must give. "This will not be.” I as a Christian am going to do my full Bhare to place the teachings Of the Christ in the forfront and if need be not simply die but live day by day fo r religion. Jesus must become a topic o f conversation in America as we talk about the farm and the office and the weather. Not a commonplace topic hut a familiar one. His teach­ ings must live in the lives o f men and women. And the man who is hot a Christian must cease being a poten­ tial force fo r righteousness and be­ come a dynamic power fo r this same ■Saviour o f men. .T o this and evsey Man needs to become an evangel o f o f right and a veritable foe o f evil. It is thru the church that men give ex­ pression to their religious desires and emotions. Besides this the church ereatos the greatest values in the World.

((Reprinted from Atlantic Monthly) HI .Now that the farmers are stirring, thinking, and uniting as. never before to eradicate these Inequalities, they are subjected to stern economic lec­ tures, and are met with the accusation that they art demanding, and ar* the recipients of, special privilege*.“ Let us. see what privileges the government has' conferred on the- farmers. Much has been made o f Section 8 of the Clayton Anti-Trust Act, wliich^ pur­ ported to permit them to combine with immunity, under certain conditions. Admitting that, nominally, this ex­ emption was In the nature of a special prlvilege.—tbough I think It was so Ip appearance rather than in fact,—we find that the courts have .ulllfted It by Judicial Interpretation, Why Bhould not the farmers -be permitted to ac­ complish by co-operative methods what other businesses are already doing by co-operation la the form' of Incdrpora-' tlon? I f It be proper for inen to form, by fusion o f existing corporations or otherwise, a corporation that controls the entire production of a commodity, or a large part o f It, why Is It not proper for a group o f farmers to unite for the marketing of their common products, either In one or In several selling agencies? Why.should it he right for a hundred thousand corporate shareholders to direct 25 or SO or 40 per cent of an Industry, and wrong for a hundred thousand^ co-operative farmers to control # nolarger propor­ tion of the wheat crop, or cotton, or any other product? The Department o f Agriculture is often spoken o f as a special concession to the farmers, but In its commercial results, It Is o f as much benefit to the buyers and consumers i- agricultural products as to the producers, or even more. I do not suppose that anyone opposes the benefits that the farmers derive from the educational and re­ search work o f the department, or the help that, It gives them In working out Improved cultural methods and prac­ tices, In developing better yielding va­ rieties through Weeding and selection. In introducing new* varieties from re­ mote part# o f the world And. adapting: them to our climate and economic .con­ dition, and in devising practical meas- nrek for the elimination or control of dangerous and destructive animal and plant diseases, Insect pests, and the like. All these G**»*s manifestly tend to Stimulate snub enlarge production, fend their general beneficial effects are Obvious, It. Is complained that, whereas the, law restflcts Federal Reserve banks to three months* time for commercial paper, the farmer IS allowed alx months -on his note# This Is not a special privilege, but merely such a recognition of business conditions as makes it» possible for Country banks to dp business with country people. The Chop farmer hes only one turn­ over a year, while the merchant and manufacturer have many. Incidental­ ly, I note that the Federal Reserve- Board has Just authorized the Fed­ eral Reserve banks to discount export paper for a period p f six months, to conform to the nature o f the ^busi­ ness. The Farm Loan banks are pointed to as an Instance of special govern­ ment favor for fanners. Are they not «•<-)>** the outcome o f laudable efforts to equalize '-rural and urban conctt: tlon*? And about all the government does there Is to help set up an ad­ ministrative organization and lend a Uttle credit at the start. Eventually the farmers will- provide all the capi­ tal and carry all the liabilities them­ selves. It Is true that Farm Loan bonds ar« tax exempt; bnt so are bonds o f municipal light and traction plant#, and new housing la to be ex­ empt .from taxation, In New York, for ten years. ■ On the other hand, the fanner reads of plans'for municipal hbuSIng proj­ ects that run into the billions, o f hun­ dreds of millions annually spent on the merchant marine; he reads that the railways are being favored with Increased rate* and vlrtuat guaranties of earnings by the government, with the result to him o f an increased toll oa alt that be sells and all that he buys. He hears of many manifesta­ tion* of governmental concern for par­ ticular Industries and.interests, -Res­ cuing the railways front insolvency Is undoubtedly tor the benefit .of the country as ar.whole, but what can be o f more general benefit than .encour­ agement o f ample production o f t i t principal necessaries o f life and their even flow from contented producers to satisfied, consumers? While it may be conceded that special ■governmental aid may be nec­ essary is the general Interest, we must .all agree tbit It la dtiflcnlt to see wby agriculture and the production and dis­ tribution o f farm products are not ac­ corded the same opportunities tbat are provided for other businesses;' espe­ cially as the. enjoyment by the fanner o f such opportunities would appear to be even more contributor# to the sen-' eral good than la the case « f other Industries. The spirit fit , Americas democracy la unalterably opposed^ alike to enacted special privilege am) to the special privilege e f unequal ej* pertunlty that arises automatically from ■the failure to correct glaring •coNomio Inequalities. I ' am opposed to the Injection o f government into business, but X do believe that It Is ah wssenttal function o f democratic jprk erument to equalize opportunity .■» far as It is within Its power to do so, whether by the repeal of archaic Statutes or the enactment o f modem ones. If the anti-frost laws keep the farmers fifom endeavoring scientifically to Integrate their Industry while other Industries find a way to meet modem conditions without violating such stat­ utes, then It would seem reasonable to find a way for the farmers to meet them under the seme conditions. The law should operate equally In fact. Re­ pairing the economic structure on ode aid* Is no Injustice to the other side, which Is in good repair. We have traveled a long wgy from the old conception of government fts merely a defensive and policing agency; and regulative, corrective, or equalis­ ing legislation, which apparently Is fit a special nature, Is often of the most general beneficial consequences. Even the First Congress passed a tariff act tbat was avowedly for the protection o f manufacturers; but a protective tariff always has been defended as a means o f promoting the general good through a particular approach; and the statute books are filled with acta for the benefit o f shipping, commerce, sad labor.

The first case tried' Was that o f a book agent vs. Fanner, Hiram Hoe- cake, The farmer’s deg had lacerated the bookagent’s trousers, The fArihhr took the stand and pleaded for him­ self. The verdict returned Was “ Not guilty” , owing to the fact that the farmer had never owned a dog. The next case before the court was a breach o f promise suit which had torn the country fo r miles around. Wid­ ow Smythe sued widower Smythe, the latter being at the green age o f 62 years. Lawyer F on t in his eloquent arguments brought the jury to tears and Lawyer Con Oainstit was .fined $60 for contempt o f court. The charge was fooling the Judge with an empty flask. The case was finally decided out o f court by the fore-lady, who joined the couple in th# holy bonds o f “ pad­ lock.” « The program was necessarily sonis what short, because the number o f ap preaching exam* are becoming more naticabl* and gigantic everyday.

A few years back it was not safe fo r a member o f either o f the bran­ ches o f the Presbyterian church to display a secret order button or let it be known that he was a member, knowing that the roles o f the church forbid. But times have changed the order o f things and people have be­ come educated to the fact that most o f the secret orders are not what they were credited with being, The lodge has its place in the extension of the brotherhood o f men and in recent years has had a wonderful growth, this being particularly true o f the Masonic orders.

HIGHSCHOOLNOTES *Ns * ,—— —r ’ ■' The game Friday night gave ex- cited entertainment to quite a large crowd. There was never over 4 points difference in the scores and when baskets were being thrown alterna­ tely by each side? it Was that only the' time-keepers whistle could decide the game. The first half ended with the score 12-15 in favor of Beaver. The local boys came up the second half and the period ended a tie 24-24, In the five minutes overtime Cedarville failed to score, while Beaver annexed a basket and'a foul, making the final ,, total 24-27* The contest was a lively scrap from start to finish’ and . the' eaver lads may well be proud of their victory. • - * m The girls game balanced the even­ ing’s entertainment With a victory for Cedarville o f 25-8, Although the game was interesting from start to finish, the score was never in doubt, and the local girls ended the game -,vith a good total. Next Friday night the two teams will journey to Ross to give them some lively struggles. Although the boys team hqs not shown up very strong they have given several other county teams a hard struggle and the' Cedarville hoys look forward to ah in­ teresting game. The girls team is, however one of the strongest in the county, and the contest is at present in doubt, although we hope fo r the best. m a ■.* ‘NEVERYTHING.
