AMERICANS AND THE CHURCHES.
' In announcing a gain in church
membership during the last year of
but one and seven-tenths per cent, Dr.
H. K. Carroll, former Director of the
Religious Census of the United States,
deplores the fact that but 32,000,000
out of the 92,000,000 inhabitants of
this country are taking any interest
in religion.
Summarizing the achievements of
the twelve months, he thinks are half
million new members an average ad
dition of but two and a half communi
cants to each of the 200,00 churches
a very unsatisfactory return on tha
$1,757,575,867 invested in the religious
property owned by the 186 different
denominations of the country. In ex
tenuation, church supporters point out
that the average annual salary of the
165,000 ministers is but $663 little
more than an office boy's wage and
that many of them are prevented from
doing justice to their work by being
obliged lb devote part of their time
to other vocations to support their
families. . o this is undoubtedly due

SOCIETY today and especially the social body of America
imagines itself to be the pitiable victim of a miserable dis
ease, GENERAL NERVOUSNESS. It is a dogma of our
generation that our whole nervous makeup has become worse,
that nervous troubles are on the increase, that our ENTIRE SO
CIAL LIFE HAS BECOME NEURASTHENIC and that we
must do our utmost to protect our nerve energies against the tired
ness and exhaustion which have become the habitual fate.
Nevertheless I do not hesitate to claim that this story is IMAGI
NATIVE FROM BEGINNING TO END.
We need vacations and excursions, the rest of country life and fre
quent changes more than any previous generation. Our nerve en
ergy is so run down that we can get refreshment only by tickling
amusements. Two-thirds of our acquaintances have neurasthenia,
and NERVOUS PROSTRATION IS THE FASHION FOR MEN
AND . WOMEN ALIKE.
IT IS AN ILLUSION THAT OUR TIME IS MORE NERVOUS THAN
EARLIER PERIODS; IT IS AN ILLUSION THAT THE MATERIAL AND
SOCIAL CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH WE LIVE ARE FAVORABLE TO
NERVOUS DISEASES; IT IS AN ILLUSION THAT THE HIGHLY
PRAISED REMEDIES WOULD REALLY SERVE THEIR PURPOSE IF
THE DISEASE EXISTED.
, the fact that with approximately 60,
000,000 sittings in the 200,000 churches
of the United States we' find a paltry
35,000,000 members to fill them.
Disappointing as this may seem to
the spiritual minded it would obvious
ly be unfair to interpret it as an in
dictment of the 60,000,00p Americans
who for one reason or another "have
no church affiliations. Of., this vast
number of non-church going citizens
of the republic, a large percentage, it
is reasonable to assume, are religious
ly disposed, even though they do not
practice it openly, he fact that they
have recourse to the ministrations of
the clergy only in sickness, marriage
and death, or when the youngsters are
to be christened, is not to be held
against them or to . be accepted as
proof that they are hostile to the
church and its instrumentalities for
good. In a country, where religion is
as free as air and the church and state
have nothing in common, it indeed is
surpris'ng to many that the denomina
tions have enlisted as many active
partisans as they have or are as ag
gressive as they' are. No business in
stitution employs more varied agen
cies to extend its influence and stimu
late interest in- its work and service.
Finance, literature, oratory, music
all the arts that appeal to the imagina
tion and awaken those impulses which
control the actions of so many of us
are suppliant to its needs and
whether we will or not serve to ever
lastingly keep its message before us.
As if it were the veriest trifle, a single
group of zealous Protestants in New
York raise a million dollars for a nation-wide
campaign of evangelizing
and express their willingness to add
.another million to it if necessary.
Exulting in its new world freedom
Judaism gathers increasing impetus
and unfurls its banners where there
were none before. Catholicism is
thriled by its great historical work,
"The Catholic Church in the United
States,"' the six million word mosaic
of the Catholic Editing Company of
New York showing the striking
growth, vitality and potentiality of
that denomination- in . the republic.
Whatever else these prove, they show
that the religious spirit which re
sponds to these calls, still waxes
strong within the average man.
A body of people that will volun
tarily give almost two million dollars
for the establishment and endowment
of institutions and contribute another
hundred and fifty millions a year for
their support, assuredly represents a
force whose influence no man can
gainsay.
Religion as an element in our na
tional life is bigger and more powerful
than any party or business and must
be reckoned with, even if it does only
enlist the active interest of but one
third of the American people.

Her Advice
By SARAH J. TUCKER
Two farms lay side by side, the one
belonging to old Charnley, the other to
young Peterson. Peterson had inher
ited bis farm with a debt; on it and had
fao money with which to stock or work
it. The season for planting was com
ing on, and Charnley was. looking out
for hands. Peterson told him that if
he would hire him for the whole sea
son he would work for him. To this
Charnley agreed.
One morning in April Albert Peterson
was plowing in Charnley's field. The
trees were just taking on that delicate
shade of pale green which is so beauti
ful while the air was balmy with the
first warm breeze coming up from the
south. Albert rested his horses, tied
the reins to the plow handle and, lean
ing against a fence, looked out upon
the pleasant prospect. At intervals
came a few notes from a bird or a pair
of birds building a nest in a treetop.
It was music-to Albert, who loved the
country and hated the city. He was
thinking about the latter and how he
should miss the former, for farming
had not paid his father nor did be see
how it could pay him. So he expected
in the fall to go to town and try for a
position in some store or manufactory.
Suddenly he felt a pair of hands clasp
ed over his eyes. They were not ha'rd
and coarse, but soft and fine. They
must be a woman's. ,
"Guess who I am?"
"No guessing is required. Your
voice gives you away. You are Ethel
Charnley."
The clasp was loosened. He turned
and on the other side of the fence saw
a girl of nineteen. -
"You look as if you had lost your
best friend." she said. "What's the
matter?"
"Oh, I was thinking how lovely the
country is, and I've got to leave it in
the fall for the city. 1 have no money
to work my farm, and I don't propose
to work for other people. Besides,
farming doesn't pay."
"Do you know why It doesn't pay?"
"No; do you?"
"I've been reading in a farmer's
Journal that it could be made to pay
if practiced scientifically. They say a
few acres worked on scientific princi
ples Is far better than a great many
worked In the old fashioned, blunder
ing way. Why don't you go to some
of those colleges where tbey teach new
methods and learn how they do it?"
"I never thought of that." said Al
bert meditatively. But presently he
added: v
"To obtain money to pay my ex
penses while studying I'd have to sell
my farm, and when I got it all learn
ed I wouldn't have a farm to work." -
There was a short silence, which the
girl broke:
"Suppose you get the education and
leave the rest to well, to your own
endeavors afterward. You'll be sup
plied with a capital better than a
farm, for a farm Is no use if you don't
know how to make it pay."
"Well, Miss Longhead, what else do
you recommend?"
"After I'd got the education It seems
to me I would take a position for
awhile In the service of some of those
men in the city who handle farm prod
uce. I don't see much use of learn
ing how to get good crops if you don't
know how to get paying prices for
them." ,
Albert looked at her in surprise.
"Where did you pick up'ajl that?" he
asked. -
"I read a great deal. There's a lot
in our country papers now we used not
to get Then I think about what I
read. It has shown me that our old
fashioned ways of farming are passing
out.
"Farming is going to be like man
ufacturing. It is manufacturing in a
sense. We mix chemicals 'with the
ground and manufacture crops. Tbe
manufacturers of goods know as much
about the business of selling as of mak
ing them. Why shouldn't it be the
same with the farmer?"
Albert gaped at this slender girl and
said:
"Whoever would think that a young
woman, who couldn't guide this plow
once across the field, would stand there
telling me. a stroug man, what to do?
I'll not only go to college in the fall,
but I'll write at'once for bulletins an
nouncing their courses of study and
all that and nights when I'm not at
work I'll be making my preparations."
Five years from that time Albert Pe
terson returned from his college and
his business training. He stopped at
the Charnley farm and. seeing a young
woman directing some field hands pre
Varing the soil for planting, said:
"I'll give you some points on that."
And he proceeded to lecture them for
half an hour while they listened ea
;erly. "Is that you. Bert?" asked the wo
tian. "Yes. I've finished what you advised
one spring morning five years ago."
"Well. I'm glad to see you. Come
into the house."
While Peterson had been preparing
himself for a life work time had been
preparing a field of labor for him. Old
Charnley had died nnd left bis proper
ty to his daughter. She had the farm.
Peterson the knowledge. So they made
a match, and today a small part of the
Charnley farm is paying far more than
Che whole paid under tbe old system of
farming. The owners look forward to
the day when they will work ail their
(and and make a small fortune every
year.
