After a man acquires a home and a

about wanting to take things away

It remained for Senator Owen, a
Democratic supporter of the una­
mended covenaut, to explain why tl._-
president has to stand pat against
I reservations. Mr. Owens says that the
president is under obligations to Eu­
ropean statesmen so that he cannot.
Perhaps mat is right. But may we
not suggest, that the president is al­
so under some slight obligation to
America to see that its sovereignty
is not transferred to a foreign coun­
cil?—Gazette Times.

crease, and illiteracy is far above the
average for the country as a whole.
The writer declares that the statis­
tics “do not overstate the urgency
of the appeal from the unfortunate
over-churched and under-ministered
communities of this section.” The
need obviously is for men, rather
than for a surplus of buildings. More
than 4500, or 66 per cent of the
churches in the entire state have a
membership of 100 or less, and 37
per cent have fewer than fifty mem­
bers each. “Over considerable areas
many of the ministers are uneducat­
ed; often they are entirely illiterate
and entirely unfitted to render ser­
vice acceptable to the more intelli­
gent of their people.”
There is waste not only in the sur­
plus investment involved in unueed-
ed buildings, but also in the cost of
their upkeep. The "great Protestant
order of mendicant pastors and sis­
ters .unincoruporated,” to which Dr
Peach alludes, has been another re­
sult of the kind of bad business man­
agement that lias permitted duplica­
tion of churches to go on. The call
for a greater degree of organic
church union seems to have the sup­
port of material as well as spiritual
considerations.—Oregonian.
