The News is not a religious journal, but the questions that effect our general moral standing are always legitimate matters of discussion and should find place in its columns, for it is fighting for the uplift of the community, One Sunday, a beautiful bright day, when there was no material reason for anyone offering the excuse of the weather for staying at home, the Sabbath Schools of the town had two hundred and twenty -five attendants and the church services one hundred and fiftj . We might suppose the preachers had not a message that attracted or that was not put in an attractive way, but all things considered only a fifth of the people were in Sabbath School and only a seventh in church service. Now that is appalling if it represents the religious standing of the community. - Where were the others that did not attend the services? Perhaps you might answer, It is none of our business! but that is not a ' legitimate answer; be cause if the church is for t'.;e moral elevation of the community then it should be better support ed. : " ' v : We do not want to appoint ourselves a moral censor of the community, nor would we if we could, but at the same time we cannot help but make the query.

The Utilitarian Against The Beautiful. We often believe that whkt gives us gain is to be preferred to the beautiful. That beauty has no usefulness whatever in this world and that we may de face nature and all around if it will only give us gain.

" 'v There are many things that : keep us from ceding to the nat- ' ural bent. -One reason for non attendance is that we think often . times that religion means sane timoniousness and for that reason we do not like it and say to our selves that we have a religion that we can practice but does not need that we go to divine service, Another says there is more re ligion in nature and so he goes away from. town. . Another en tertains himself with the great many-paged Sunday newspaper that prints a sermon (which we don't read) and many pages of other matter which we do read and finally we have passed the hour of service and the day is lost. ' : Having done these things, can . we say that we are religious? IKTVim t 1 ! 1 t n t hum reiiiua aayuuwr unu as we answer that question so will we decide whether we will show our religion In attending religious service.'

"Co South, Young Man." -.e I J one '.'y we are t' i there Last year the nine cotton states produced 561,104,000 bushels of corn, against 402,625,000 grown by the eight Northern states of Pennsylvania,; Michigan, Wis consm, Minnesota, Kansas, the Dakotasand Colorado, and ; the Territory of New Mexico, Dela ware, Maryland, the Virginias, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mis souri, the last three important grain stages, are not-computed among the cotton states in the foregoing calculation, ' i ms year tne cotton acreage at the South is less by 3.5 : per cent than last year,: but the land devoted to corn exceeds that of last year by-1,000,000 acres. This is a good sign. When the South grows its own grain and produces its own .meat, something it has not yet done, it will have become the most prosperous agricultural community on earth But there is another advantage. When the South devotes attention to gram growing it will neces sarily lead to better farming. There will follow . conservation1 .j soil through crop rotation and peas and alfalfa will enter largely into the farm econom.
