Why do po many people not attend church? 1 will give some of the reasons that werelaUly pi ven to me by different parties: One man said: "We'I, I us'-d to 1 20 to c'uurcii regularly, but i now liave to work no h a r d througlithe week, that when Sun uu; tuiir oj juow tit j u i tiT, Another said. "I like to go to church, but the last time I wei;t the prvaclur was asking for a lot of money to widow some col lege and his appeal was sost: n that it made me feel like 1 was a poor church member if 1 did not respond, and I old n't have fifty rente. So I divided not to po a gaiu until I got a little money on hand to respond to the next cull, that was pure to come. The next man was merchant, and he said: "The last time I went to church there was a man sitting on the fronteeat who had j beat me nut of ten dollars, so I got disgusted, and just thought that it religion did not make a man pay his just, debts it was a mighty poor thing." The next was a non-professor of religion whom I asked to go to church and after he wpnt he said: ''The preacher sure did go after them, but that hypocrite in the choir that sang the solo did not bat his eyes. When you peo ple get such stuff as that out of your choirs and front seats I will attend church." Next I asked a woman why she diil not attend church and take her children, and she said: Noth ing would give me more pleasure than to go to church, but my husband works on a small nala ry and it takes nil he can make to buy food and sutiHent cloth ing even sufficient clothing even sufficient to stay at home and I will not take them for other chil dren to lauh at." The next man nai l: '! did not like the last preacher. He paid more at tention to tho man who paid the most money." 1 told him M" excuse wouldn't apply to the present pastor and he admitted that his only reason now for not goiDg wa9 general cussedne&s. These are tho excuses given by actual persons. So you see that the church of Christmust be either a drawing or a driving force. The Master said: 'And if I be lifted up I will draw all men to me." Are we liftiug Ilim up sufficiently? Jesus Christ is the embodiment of all that is right. If the church will lift up that principle in all her dealings, and require it to be lifted up among her members, one with another, the question of wby so few peo ple attend church will not be so often asked. Hut so many church members lift up the other lorce. I will illustrate. The other day a professor of relig'ou went into a store and joined a crowd w h o were driuking. They saiJ: "Come on in, old friend, and take a drink." He did so, and in a few minutes he was leading ttie con versation in the most vulgar lau gar language I ever heard. He was casting his professed pearls before swine and they were tram pling them uuder foot. Jesus Christ left the power with men aud said ''Occupy till 1 come." Chrirtt said he would draw all men it He were lifted up. The church is far from drawing all men. Is it not, therefore, possi ble that the church is not lilting bim up sufficiently?

Tin people are determined t have their own way. Tliisinvin t ible rotiolypof the people to work out their own r-ahatioti by moth ixls chosen by themselves i the fact which Includes all othcrcivic fact of the tune. It is the uni versal key which unlocks the door ot evi ry situation. It is tho plum met which every political pilot must use, who honestly wishes to fathom the minJi of his fellow men, and guide the phip of party aright. It is the magnetic needle which must oe pivoted beneath the compassglass of every politi cal organization that wants to know which way is North. It n a truth whose forms of ex prcssion are many because its scope is wide as a nation of nin ety million people. Direct pri mal ics, direct election of Sena tors, the safe-guarding of elec tions by publicity, limitation of campaign expenses, with its eli mination of unfair advantages of the wealthy candidate, or the candidate backed by rich and powerful interests, oyer the poor candidate, are all conspicuous ex am pies of the determination of the people to assert the soverei gnty reposed in them by the con stitution. The central principle underly ing all these phases of a univer sal movement, is trausler of gov ernment, and of the party or ganization which is the material out of which government is made, from the hands of the few to the hands of the many. It is a tpc lamation, a reaffirmation, a rec overy and a putting in practice, ot the Democracy on which all American institutions are foun ded. Its object is to enable the peop! ; :.ct actfor themselves in all matters wherein immediate ac tion by them is possible, and where it is not, to secure genuine representation ol the people in stead of the oligarchy of ma chines. The favorite plea of those who are Hostile to thepeople reserving foi themselves the right s inherent in them, is that such popular control means disruption of par ty organization. On the con trary, it means a strouser party organization because, being com posed of the people denial of the organization would be repudia tion of its members by themsel vesa thinir impossible. Take for example, the direct primary It is no more a novelty it has long been an established institut Ion in many States. In all . the history of the direct primary, never has party cohesion of dis cipline been disrupted by it Whatever discomfiture it has caused, was discomfiture of per sonal ambit inn of the greed of individuals for power. Party regularity, and party consis tnev, have been maintained and strengthened, i'wity effective ness has been uniformly increased by transference of the means ol p.irty didectiou to the people. So long as parties exist, there must be leadership and discipline. Rule of the party by the people is tho only source from which genuine leadership can be evol ved. Self-discipline is the only discipline to which a self-respecting party will submit. The people's control of party tactics, is the coruer-stone of public confidence in party meth ods, men and measuree. We are rapidly getting past the stage, when, if a party committee meets, if a party convention assembles, it will be assumed in the popular mind that such committee or convention is going to Jo what any man, or anv gvniri of men I te!!.-i H t'nio. Ti," ;i i -iiwv; Gocd Roads Wait They Vein. Wilkeloro Chronicle. One huii'lred million dollars for pood mad! One hundred million times at much money as the gov ernment ever speut to make the country roads a Mtle easier for tratfk-l That is what a prominent I'uited iStutes Benator recently advocated. Think of it. Just to ill! up the ruts and the holes to maku pulling a trifle easier for a few tiied farmers' horses! Whj? because the people of the United states has at last come to ee that there is but little else in this country so fundamentally necessary to the welfare of each citizen as are good roads. That is the answer. It appears, on the face of it, a perfectly simple an swer, and . one that at first thought does not proyoke much interest and arouse no astonish ment, and yet the gospel otgood roads has come to mean salva tion for the dying towns and the sick communities as well as for that greater evil the high cost of living. Never before in the history of this country has there been such an awakening as that which has resulttd recently from the scien tific study of the economic con ditions now in existence. The citizens' physicians who made the diagnosis haye stated that bad roads are at the bottom of the existing high prices of necess ities. Why? There are several answers. One of them is best ill ustrated by the story of the wo man in a small town who recen tly went iuto a grocery store and asked the price of eggs. The storekeeper quoted his price. "Why!'' she exclaimed, "That is more than they ought to beat this time of the year 6 cents more than I ever paid before." "I know that," replied the Mer chant, "but it cant be helped. The roads have been so bad lat ely that the farmers wou't bring in their products." That is tho whole story in a nutshell. There aro many oth ers like it, come more important than others. That same woman probably placed her order with a mail order grocery house, lea ving the express company to de liver the goods irrespective of the condition of the roads. The mer chant in the story lost a custo mer, the farmer lost a chance to market his products, and the wo man finally found that she had paid a big price for her goods af ter all and all of this because the roads were baL Your Neighbor's Experience How you may profit by it. Take Foley"s Kidney Pills. Mrs,: E. E. Whiting, 36", Wi'.low St.. Akron, Ohio, says: For some time I had a very serious case of kidney trouble and I suffered with backaches and dizzy headac'ies. I had specks flja ting hefore my eye and I felt all tired out and miserable. I saw Fo ley Kidney llls advertised and got a bottle and took them accord ing to directions and results showed almost at once. The pain and dizzy headache left me, my eyesight be came cleai and today I can say lam a well woman, thanks to Foley Kid ney Pills. M B Blackburn. "Are you fond of motor cars?" "No." "Why?" "It costs so much to keep one that Bertie can't afford to mar ry." ponsible because it is responsive, and representative because it re flects the will of the people them selves or not at all, is at hand.

August, September, and Octo ber and the typhoid months. September is the month of great eat susceptibility to the disease. If you wwh to escape the fall epidemic, take the following pre cautions: 1. Keep your premises rid of all decaying organic m a 1 1 er, weeds, watermelon rinds, slops, fruits, chips, eti. Give your pre mises throught drainage and keep them dry. 2. Clean out your privies, sta bles, and hog pens once a week. Keep the surface privy ground covered with lime. 3. Screen your windows and doors. Kill flies with tanglefoot, fly powder, etc. Chase every fly that comes in; kill him as you would a rattlesnake. If any of your neighbors have typhoid, don t let a fly come in at ail. 4. Be sure that your drinking water is pure aud the source not contaminated. 5. If you are helping with a typhoid patient, disenfect all se cretions promptly with lime, car bolic acid, or bichloride of mer cury. Always wash your hands after handling a patient. Be sure your food and water are neither fly nor hand infected Don't fail to help your typhoid neighbor in time. of need, but do these things intelligently and in a safe, sanitary way. Is fre quently happens that those who steer dearest ot typhoid get it first. 6. If you begin to have that characteristic tired leeling with headache, general aching, chill uess, loss ol appetite, coated ton gue, call your doctar at once, don't wait. The earlier you be gin the fUht, the better and more quickly you win. Kill More Than W'ld Ke.n.s.

In the ancient days, when Christ in person taught the chil dren of men, he said, "Blessed are the merciful tor they shall ob tain mercy." 'Not so," says the scorner, sit ting in high scorn. ''It's a mis take, a misprint, and should be corrected at once. Strike it out and write, "Cursed is he who showeth mercy, for verily he shal catch hell and we will help ad minister it." So the scorner sits in his scorn ery and deals damnation round the land," but a double share he gives to the one found guilty of mercy. Ex.

When a ieop;gel lax in the little things, it is not a lung step to laxity in the big things. We Americans an nlre-idy criminal ly lnx in smaller things, and are gf't ting more ho every day. One hears on every eid tin; com plaint 61 th failure of tho small courtesies. Nits are h-ft unae- knowledged; iigajfcniiiits are not kept nor the reason explain ed; courtesies extended receive no recognition. It has even got to the point where presents fail of proper and just thanks. Too much is being taken for grated. Our conditions ure so prosper ous: our puce is so fast; relative values are getting muddled up, and the little courtesies that sweeten life either are lost sight of or lack proper aud courteous recognition. It is not that we. do not know our manners. We do. But our lives are too rush ed, end rush always means care lessness. Our thoughts, too, are are keyed to the superlative; to the big; to the imposing; to the thing that is sizable. And the whole trend is not only unfortu nate but disastrous as well; for life is not made ot the big things; it is a labric woven of the little things, of the bttie courtesies, of the little thoughts; and the mo ment we lose our true relation that these hold to the sehsme of living, we lose the essence that makes for sweet, happy, and sat isfied living. We cannot afford to make our lives so busy as to ren der ourselves iusensible tojthe lit tle thoughts that tome to from another, from the seeming ly small courtesy, from the appa rently insignificant pr.'Seut. With these aud in these are sometimes fouud the deepest thoughts, the truest friendship, and the only true thing that, after all is said and doue, is worth holding on to in life.
