COUNTY PHOKE SERVICE
The HendersonVille Democrat
reproduced our pounty phone
"free service editorial of recent
date. Polk County is behind the
times in this instance. Every
progressive County has a univer
sal county service We should
have it here. Saluda offers to
join in the movemnt and has pro
vided a way to pay) the addition
al expense by adding a small
monthly charge tojphone rentals.
The News hopes the patrons of
all phone companie in Polk Coun
ty would get interested and push
this matter. Therp is not much
inducement to rent a phone now
and their use will be restricted
until a county service is establish
ed.
Efficiency
This word efficient, now being
worked overtime, is one deserv
ing the prominence; it is getting.
To be efficient at what one under
takes is a great thing. The Ger
mans have taught the world what
efficiency means. We, as a na
tion, are not efficient. Harum
scarum, most any way to get by.
We are proficient but not effi
cient. Why not try to bring up
our efficiency?
Elbert Huhharrl rlnaWprl nfT a
little article for a booklet he call
ed "A Message to Garcta," about
tne time ot the Spanish-American
war. That book struck the pop
ular fancy for it told a marvelous
narative. The man Gowan, se
lected to carry the message to
Garcia in the jungles of Cuba by
President McKinley was the pres
ent day German. He was called
by the president, you will remem
ber, and the simple statement
was made to him that an impor
tant message must be delivered to
General Garcia at once. Gowan
saluted and beat it. IHe deliver

IOOl Questions FiiH hlHanl
J ust delivered the I goods. If
tnese tnings can be trained into
our coming generations it will be
well, otherwise we are going to
lose out to the nations that do.

COLUMBUS.
gT By Rev. Jno. A. Rlce, D. D.
f Pastor St. John M. E. Church. South.
St Louis. Mo.
Some years ago, the question was
asked: What is a college? The at
tempt to answer it shook the educa
tional world in America from center
to circumference. Another question Is
now beginning to be asked: What Is
a church? Without undertaking to
give a definition of it, let me ask, in
this initial paper, what the church
is for? The New Testament reveals
three distinct tasks to which it is
committed.
Virst, that of evangelization. The
church is divinely commissioned to
reach for the lowest and the least
man in the least land and offer him
sonship to the Eternal God; offer him
a divine power, which litta Mm out
of the bog and places him upon the
highest levels of human life, where
God and the soul are in fellowship.
This alone were an immense priv
ilege. J
Teaching the Art of Living.
The church is commissioned also
to teach and train those who are
rich with its evangelistic message.
The term, Religious Education, has
come to mean a. specific thing in our
country, namely, the training of the
people in the local church in those
deep matters which pertain to the
art of living. I am not . now speaking
of the work of education in schools,
colleges and universities, but the work
of education at our doors, in the con
gregation. Every agency in reach
should be employed to the utmost in
this important mission. Indeed, the
local church could be made a sort of
university for all the people, in which
the simple, practical arts and virtues
of everyday life should be taught and
enforced. Only recently has this
special phase of the church's work re
ceived anything like adequate atten
tion. The New Testament word for
it Is Edification.
, School of Religion Needed.
Of course, the Sunday School is the
center for all this work, although the
activities of the church .should extend
through the entire week and the Sun
day School should cease to be so
named. It should be called the School
of Religion or the Church School or
something else that indicates it to be
an all-the-week activity. During this
time various and sundry clubs, classes,
musical organizations, culture courses,
as well as distinctly religious meetings,
should be held. Thickly settled neigh
borhoods, as we shall see, offer fine
opportunities for the development of
things spiritual.
The third task to which the church
Is committed is that of Christianizing
the social order; that of infusing the
spirit, of Jesus into every nook and
corner of our life. Nothing is foreign
to the interest of the church.
Neighborly Love Essential.
If religion pervades and-colors the
whole life then ours is serious busi
ness, for it will let no corner of the
world escape its influence. The sooner
we learn that Christianity is not a
thing to be practiced in a corner the
better for the world. The question of
the eighteenth century, touching Chris
tianity, was, Can it be made to square
with the human reason? Of the nine
teenth, Can it be made to square with
the results of scientific research? Of
the twentieth, What can it do? ' We
must learn to enforce not only love of
God, whom we cannot see, but love to
our neighbors, with whom we are living
in constant contact. Neither without
the other is Christianity whatever else
it may be. Everything that interests
his neighbors must interest him, if he
is a genuine follower of the Christ.
It is the mission of the church the
rural as well as the city to evange
lize the whole world, to train to the
highest degree of efficiency those
whom it evangelizes and to seek to
make the spirit of Jesus the absolute
rule in all human relations.
