IT'S GETTING WARMER
.lust now, while all of Europe i- experiencing the cold
est Winter in 80 years, it i- cheerful new- which scien
tists bring us that the world is actually getting warmer.
Many of us have suspected that for ;i long time. Who
lias not heard his grandfather or sonn' other elderly per
son remark that "Winters ain't like they used to be
when I was a boy."
It was the fashion for a long time in dr-mis- -uch
rcminiscenses with the philosophical comment.
But now that research into changes in the climate ha
become more scientific, the men who Mudy Mich thing
are beginning to agree that in the northern hcmisWierc.
at leaM, the climate is getting wanner.
Tlie records of the I'nited States Weather Bureau run
back only to 1 S 7 1 , but local records have been kept for
more than a hundred years in numerous cities. Ifeccnt
studies of such records show that Bo-ton now In- i-ke
kind of winters that Baltimore bad a century ago.
The Winter of IS.'lT-.'tS used to be spoken of by old New
Englamlers as "eighteen hundred and fro/.e-to-i leat h. "
Temperatures got so low that the moisture remaining on i
the trees froze and burst the tree-trunk.- with a noi-e like
musket tire all over the woodlands.
It is not likely that there will ever be anoiher \\ inter t
so severe ;i - that. And it i- not likely that anyone now
living will pick -t raw berries in .January on t h- -i:on.-|
of Hudson's Bay.
But there is evidence that Indole the I a - 1 ! \ge. ? ut
of w'liich the earth i- -till -low ly emerging, ttopical
vegetation grew in (ireeuland. and we nu.y be coming
back to t hiit . Kx.

It it be true t*hat a town's j
churches are its richest assets, we
feel that every true citizen should
in some way support- them. This
does not mean that every one
should be a member of one: nor .
does it mean that every one should
give financial support to one or
all But. it- does mean that every,
one should be in hearty sympathy
with and stand ready to speak
somp word of commendation of.
the churches as they struggle to'
!make religion a vital part of the
life of the town. We need to be
| come church-minded. The- greater'
t'he influence of our churches, the
more prosperous our town be
comes. the more elevated our so
cial life will be. and the eftlptiei
our jails.
So. are we not right in calling
upon every citizen of our town ,
and county to support in every
way he possibly can the churches
in our town and county*'
