; Why It Declines
t . It.-wtNthl eem that not only 4n tlte
4tiea, but even In the rural dlntrtcU,
where heretofore there woa nothing
4-lse to . do but ge to church, the
Attendance at religious acrvlcee is
falling oft a.t a moat aatoundlnir rate.
JV'arled, and almott counties reaaoni
Jwve beet) anlrned (or what ta termed
Jhe "decline of the church," and
Jimont; these are claMMtd the never
r.dlnv monotony of the service; the
PTPiwnc n the pulpit of poorly-paid
'and, therefore, Incompetent preach
Jsra, and last, but not least, the tow
4ns; srplrlt of tolerance which believe
hat no ehuroh or religion, per se,
a a mortgage on eternal ealvntlon.
J It la thl broader apirlt, the happy
J-Todoct of a later day, which rcuenU
Jin any church the effort of one re
Jlttion to profit at the expense of an
other. The minister who only a fer
eara ao could find no other topic
tor discussion In hit pulpit than the
ins and shortcomings ef some faith
other than hi own, did morifc to
empty Ws oluirch, and to drive men
from the way of religion, than any
other modem agency. The narrow
tihrotry which deolea to the Individual
the rhrht lb worship a Supreme Ue
Inr when, where and. how he pleases
has sent men out of the church in
dlsgvst, and ha robbed the ecclesias
tical Institution of a great part of Its
Influence.
Mew know that there 1 a God,
ml they know, too, in the ordinary
ooeptance of the tenet and doo
ti"lnes of Christianity, that they witl
be Judged In the meajwr of their
wn merit, according to the manner
wherein they hare emayed to love
nd serve Him. There is nothing
found in all the writing of the great
theolocrtana to warrant tho bumptious
aascrtion of any pulpit orator to the
ffoct that men who follow this or
that creed, embrace thl or that
"tatth, out fide of that which he Is
teaching, are damned for all eternity.
The average reader, who Is still ac
qunlnted with ministers of the In
tolerant type referred to, does not
wonder that men and women have
frown (tloU. of their narrow carptntrs
and have sought, If they have enught
any at all, institutions where the
spirit of tolerance and broad-mindedness
Is not quite extinct.
The 'latter day demand for full
IHicfty of conscience Is one of the
XiMMrt powertul factors In emptying
the churches of cily and country, and
It will continue to do an until a more
.enlightened generation f thn minis
try ehuU cease to discern the ro;id to
Heaven through one rUsb.

The article In your Sunday Issue by
Mr. II. 1). Turker struck 'the writer';
us being an Interesting one, on nc-!
count of the originality of his mig-'
Kintlons if iuillilng else, I
It Is also ' refreshing to hoc the j
much-vexed liquor question discussed i
In u temncrate manniT, which Is!
rather unusual. The extremists,!
whether on the one side or the other, '
ciinnot approach this much-mooted'
question without losing their wolf
ci.ntnd, and cmmoqwuinlly tliulr,
Lf;''a:;iuus are of llulo vuluc. ,
There must be a better solution of
the liandlltig of liquor than that nf-'
fired by either the rank liquor men
or the
fanatk-ul prohibitionists, and
Mr. larker is on the right;
Perhaps
-Knsule h:ir-riunn or dive
.should not be tolerated in any com
munity and It seems to be passing
uway everywhere.

SlHiGIXllON IXHt 1IOSPITAK
(CimtrltMiti'd).
A uggitiiin has been made in re
gard to the Mission hospital campaign
that seems to ilesi-rvo public atten
tion. .
The children of a neurhlwirhood have
become enthused with the spirit of
the 1,-casion and wIkIi to contribute
their small offerings in a street or
neighborhood purse.
This desire on the part of a few
ha called forth the suggestion, that
the children of the town be allowed
to contribute toward some definite
end, that Is the purchase of a lot In
the (ililliirtm't tiiuii i if md ffinu.nl
fund are raised by them to apply It
in a broa"tasl,uit to ome i'a,tlHWi4
distinctly appealing to the children,
and aid other children In less fortun
ate fiirr-uniHUiO'cii than themselves.
There nmy be somo one In each
neighborhood who 1 willing to under
take organizing tho children Into
teams f t r a week or more of collect

The children are a wonderful force
when started In the right direction.
In rillty tho whole hospital move
ment, and Indeed, all , community

tha children.

Hoping that the children will "irct

friends will enoouriiKB them In their
effort.
ONE OF THE WOP.K.ER8.
Personal Anecdotes.
A Democrat.
Col. William V. Stone was talking In
Chicago, apropos of Independence
day, about George Washington.
"Washington," he said, "was state
ly an aristocrat He liked pomp,
show. Abe Lincoln, the next beat ro.in
to WftHhlngton, was, on the other
hand, a democrat of democrats.
"An amtmswidor onoo called on
Lincoln and found him blocking hla
boots.
" 'My dear Mr. Lincoln,' the ambas
sador said, horrified at this sight, 'my
master. King Bo-and-Bo, never thinks
of blocking his own boots, I assure
you!'
"Lincoln spat on the end of the
brush, and then looked up with his
(jneer smile,
" 'That so?' he said. 'Whose boot
doe he black V "
ITnrtwcar Pc Iuxe.
Jack Irfindnn, the novelist, has "ho
boed" It for the fun of the thing, and
many are tha yarn he tell of that
wild, free life.
"On an evening of early summer,"
Mr. London said, at a dinner in Los
Angeles, "I sat With a group of ho
boes on. a quiet 'dump' cooking a to-mato-enn
of coffee. As we chewed our
punk punk Is bread, you knowin
the twilight, a hobo on my left said:
" 'Hey, Nosey, left off yer under
wear yet?'
"Nosey, who was cutting op stumps
for his pipe, answered:
'"Well, 1 shed a door-mat last
week, hut I'm still wearln' a couple
o' yards o' carpet' "
The Hard Part.
Senator Penrose, at a luncheon at
the auditorium In Chicago, told tho
following story about an office seeker:
"I hear you've got a government
Job now," ono man said to another.
Tho other answered gaily:
"That's , what"
The first man gave an envious lgh
and asked:
"Is It hard work T"
"Not after yon get It," was the re
ply. lncalug On Hay Fever.
"My - hay feveH'te kld, "strikes
me on July 2, every year, rain or
shine. On July 1, I go to bed, a well
man, and the next morning I rise with
watery eyes, a red and swollen nose
cloggy d up tight, and a dry, wide
open mouth through which I breathe
with noisy wheexes. My head foels
distended. It feels as though It were
being stretched on a form Ilk you
stretch a shoe or a glove, you know."
"Put today " we said.
'Today," he exufted. "I'm cured. To
day, for the first July In seventeen
years, I'm my own man. Cold storage
that maligned Cold storage Is what
has put mo on my feet.
"Tho cure Is wimple. Every day or
two I spend an heur In a cold storage
warehouse, wandering, In a tempera
ture of 30 degrees, among chicken
end bogs and beeves all white with
frost.
"Thin treatment seonis to frcexo the
hay fever out of the system, tho same
as It freezes moths out of fur. It has
cured mo and dnxens of others. I must
write to the liny Fever association
about it."
Filled All Outdoors.
A farmer once told Lincoln a whop
ping big fib about his hay crop.
Lincoln, smiling his melancholy smile,
drawled :
"I've been cutting hay, too."
"Good crop?" tho farmer asked.
''Fine, very fine," said Lincoln.
"How many tons?"
"Well, I don't know Just how many
tons." said Lincoln carelessly; "hut
my men stnrked all Ihey could out
doors, and then stored tho rest In the
burn."
Why Thry Strike.
Ty Cobb, the famous licscha.ll strik
er. w;i dim 'tissinu the waiters' strike
with a Philadelphia reporter.
"Tlie motive of It?" he said. "Well,
there was a dialogue th other dav
belween a Walter and .his' boss that I
explains, the uiotlvo pretty clearly, j
"Tho boss had Just returned from j
I'lirnpe, and he was astonished at thei
way provisions had increased in price1
ilnring his brief absence. Butter, beef, j
milk, potatoes It was the same atory i

Ignorance of the Monroe Doctrine.
(Indianapolis News.)
We have already noted that Great
Tlrltaln contemplate establishing a
great naval base at Bermuda. Offi
cials, we are further told, "Teallie
that the problem ruined Is a tremen
dous one, Involving the Monroe doc
trine and marking perhaps a complete
revolution In the foreign naval policy
of the western hemisphere." It u
a great pity that officials, or at least
reports that assume to speak for
them, do not know what the Monroe
doctrine la That they do not is ap
parent from this Intense foar of Us
life being Involved because Great
Tlrltaln my make a naval base of the
Bermuda It is a pity because thing
of this kind - teletgmiphed over the j
world ax emanating from the capital
of tho country must have their effect. j
And in this case the effect Is to "write
i.s down an ass," as one mai uoes
not know what ono Is talking about.
Great Britain has as much right to
establish a naval base at the Ber
mudas im at Halifax or Vancouver or
anywhere else In the world where she
holds her many possessions. And the1
ranes havo a similar right to foTtlfy ,
St. Thomna, the French to forty.
French Gulaila and the r Tench islands.
In this hemlphere. It i greatly i
desired that one of two things
should happen; .either that our own,
people that have tho cbt of the world
should learn what tho Monroe doc
trine Is or that the y should cease to!
tnlk about It. The "doctrine" Is madei
ridiculous when applied to fortify-j
leg the Bermudas. This 1s a case
especially excepted in the doctrine by:
the declaration; lhat "with exbstlngj
colonies w have not Interfered and
shall not Interfere." Tt was only the
"free and Independent nations of this
hemisphere" that were "not to be
considered as subjects for future j
Kuroncan colonisation."

"See here, Peters," she said, 1
"there's no lock on my bathhouse, as
you know, and I must Insist on your
