THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1912; WANTED: SOME GOOD PREACHING WITHOUT AGRICULTURAL ATTACHMENT The Old “Blue-back Speller'’ con tained many wise observations, among others being this: "The preacher preaches the gospel.” Tn those days ho did, but now-a-days some wish to make him a man of all work. Preaching the gospel seems to be re garded by some as a doubtful and disappointing way by which to save men. There is a manifest loss of faith in the gospel as “the power of God unto salvation.” when it is proposed to substitute anything for it as the means of the world's redemption. All the schemes which are now current for reforming outward conditions, without cleansing the inward condi tions of the heart, proceed from the false notion that the world's trouble is in its circumstances, rather than in its want of moral and religious life Hence preachers are called upon to give exclusive attention to such work as “uplifting the alums,” establishing “social settlements,” promoting “civic righteousness,” etc. The latest and most laughable prop osition of this kind is that preachers shall take courses in agriculture In. order that they may know how to instiuct the farmers of the country churches. This proposal comes from a lot of urban theorlzers, who could not “tell a hawk from a handsaw.” But they have had under considera tion “the challenge of the country,” (having long since met the challenge of the city to their own satisfaction, and being overfond of “challenges and they now feel that is incumbent upon them to prescribe a remedy for the rural “problem.” As usual with them, they have prescribed nonsen sically. What the farmer wants in his preacher is what every man wants in his preacher; he wants a good preach er. It would be just as sensible to advise that preachers in the city should be taught book-keeping, bank ing. manufacturing, and all Arban arts in'order to qualify theip for their work, as to insist that preachers in the country should study agriculture. The fact is that the farmers study farming and the merchants study trade a good deal more closely than some preachers study preaching; and hence real first class preaching is rather too scarce in the land, have pseudo-science, sleazy attempts at/literature, second-hand sociology, politico-moral reforms, ethical plati tudes. pretentious efforts at biblical criticism, shallow discussions of cur rent events, and such like In too many pulpits, with a conspicuous ab sence of genuine gospel .preaching. Too many preachers have ceased to be preachers in their cain efforts to be something else. By consequence there is a dearth of great preaching Just now in the world. The English-speaking nations have been for some centuries past the peo ples among whom great preachers and great preaching were found in largest abundance; but just now there are in these nations fewer great preachers than they have known for above a hundred years. In London one finds no longer a Spurgeon, a Liddon. a Punshon. or a Joseph Par ker. In our country we have no suc cessors to Phillips Brooks, Dr. Storrs, Bishop Simpson, Dr. Braodus, Bishop Pierce, Dr. Palmer or Bishop Marvin. England and America need sorely some preachers. It is no time to send preachers off to the fields to study soils, fertilizers, silos, and the rotation of Crops. Our farmers will take care of ail that part of our national welfare. But we want some real preaching,—preaching that sug gests study of the Scriptures, fervent prayerfulness, deep consecration, and profound concern for the salvation of the souls of thff people. We have had quite enough of the know-all, “carbolic-acid renovator” of external conditions; we really need now a good deal of first class preaching. It is said that church attendance is not as good as it used to be in our country. Perhaps it is not With multitudes running hither and thither MERCER NAMES WARDEN ASKEDFOR BY SPORTS (Special Dispatch to Th* Journal.) SAVANNAH. Ga., Sept. 7.-Col. Jesae A. Mercer, the state game warden, left Savannah this morning for his home in Fitzgerald after having appointed a new game warden for Chatham county. He at tended a meeting of the sportsmen of the county last night and heard their views as to a county warden and named the man they desired. Colonal Mercer does not think the new state game law is as perfect as it should be. He says it was amended too hurried ly and for that reason was not as care fully prepared as it should have been. He hopes to get some advice from the state attorney general as to the enforcement of some of the conflicting portions of the law. CARROLL’S FIRST BALE BRINGS FIFTEEN CENTS BOWDON, Ga., Sept. B.—The first bale of cotton for Carroll county this year which was grown and sold by S. W. Traylor, weighed 477 pounds, and was bought for 15- cents per pound by Bur son & Fowler. J Bfc 1 IW&hH H in swift auto-mobiles, with, a sensa tional press to absorb attention, and a thousand other distractions, it is not strange that ciiuroh attendance should be reduced. But nothing can call the people back to God's house like the powerful preaching of the gospel, gripping the conscience and bringing to bear upon the life that now-ls the powers of the world to come. Choir-loft ‘products, of the semt operatic type, can not hold the peo ple. When the church undertakes to compete with, or imitate, the opera house, in order to attract the rtru'* titude, it always fails; and it da serves to fail by such methods. If men wish to hear opera singers, they will go where the best are to be found; and that is not in the churches. Discussion of current topics and other like themes can be had in mag azines, newspapers, and lyceum courses. When the pulpit addicates its own functions, and undertakes to sup ply discussions of this sort, it al ways loses the attention of men; and it deserves to - lose attention in such a case. When ihen want discussions of that kind, they know where to go to get the best, and they do not go to church to find them. There really is no sufficient reason outside religious needs for going to church at all; and it is the supreme business of preachers to meet that profound, urgent tragic need. When the pulpit meets the religious wants of men's hearts, It never lacks for hearers. In a parched era, John the Baptist got an over-whelming hear ing. St. Paul never lacked for atten tion. The multitudes flocked to hear Luther, and all Scotland fell down before Knox's proclamation of the gospel. In a sceptical period of Eng lish history Wesley appeared, and there was no want of hearers when he sounded out the gospel in stately cathedral or on Kennington Common. One of the reasons given by one worldly clergyman for excluding Wes ley and his fellow-labourers form his pulpit was that they drew to the church too large a multitude. In later times, Mr. Moody was able to get a hearing in both Great Britain and the United States.,Of Mr. Moody’s meetings in New York Dr. J. G. Holland wrote in Scribner’s Monthly, “They prove that man wants religion, and that when he finds what he wants, in Its purity and its simplicity he will get it They prove that Christianity nqeds only to be preached in its purity and sim plicity to win the triumphs for which the church has looked and prayed so long. The cure for the moral evils of the world is just as demonstrably in the Christian religion as the ele ments of vegetable life are in the soil’.. This word is true, and ft should be laid to heart by preachers every where. Georgia Bachelor, Age 64 Weds Miss of 34 Years (Special Dispatch to The Journal.' SAVANNAH, Ga., Sept. 6.—News has been received in Savannah of the mar riage of Mr. J. C. Humphries, of Way cross, aged 64 years, and Miss Marga.- ret Hathaway of the same little Geor gia city, aged 34 yeara The marriage did not take place in Waycross, but in Philadelphia, where Miss Hathaway and Mr. Humphries have been visiting. The couple have thought of matri mony for some time, but Mr. Hum phries’ niece always opposed the match. The bridegroom secured a license to wed tn Georgia several months ago but never used it. It is expected Mr. and Mrs. Humphries will be in Waycross in a few days to receive the congratula tions of their friends. , BIGGEST WATERMELON FROM TEXAS WEIGHS 112 FARMINGDALE, N. Y., Sept. 7.-A wa termelon weighing 112 pounds, said to be the largest ever grown in Texas, is to be shipped on a special flat car over the Long Island railroad to Farmingdale. The melon comes as a present to B. F. Yoak um, head of the ’Frisco lines and was grown by Judge Nbrman G. Tittrell, of Houston. Hot Weather Cooking Cotton, Say Farmers (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) VALDOSTA, Ga., Sept. 6.-The farmers who came to town this week report that the extremely hot weather is having a bad effect upon the cotton crop. They declare it is cooking the bolls and causing cotton to shed very rapidly. The presest year, has been a very remarkable one on cotton. There have been extreme seasons, beautiful weather following very bad weather and so on since the cotton was planted. The result is that the farmers have lived be tween high hope and deep despair. Crcfi’ conditions have changed a number of times. Tha farmers de ciare that not moA than two thirds of a crop will be made this year. ' i A good deal of sea island' cotton is being brought to the city and is bringing about 23 cents a pound, though the demand for it is not great yet. WAYCROSS NOW HAS A WOMAN NOTARY (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) WAYCROSS, Ga., Sept. ".-Miss Carrie Strickland is the first Way cross woman to become a notary public under the Georgia law. She is the fourth in Georgia, accord ing to information received here. SV BISHOP W. A. CANDLER We have had enough quackery In the pulpit, and while it has been yielding a vast crop of political, social, and moral freaks, it has done much also to empty the churches of wor shipers. We need a reaction in the di rection of bringing sure-enough preaching back into those pulpits from which it has been disappearing. The people will be found in the pews when this sort of preaching re-appears in these pulpits. There ,is probably more good preaching in the rural churches than there is In the urban churches; but if the preachers who are sent to the country are to go as ama teur farmers, there will soon be a dearth of the gospel there too. Let these seff-censtttuted committees of urban “problem-solvers” keep their hands off the country churches, if they have nothing better to propose than that |he pastors of country churches ehall be given courses tn agriculture. When a farmer sends for a doctor he sends for him to get medical treatment, not for ad vice about sowing peas, draining land, and raising pigs; and when he desires a preacher he wants spirit ual help, not agricultural counsel. There is just as much sense in re quiring preachers for country churches to know agriculture as there would be in requiring such knowledge of the doctors and law yers .who serve clients engaged in farming. Some days ago the papers report ed the case of a mother in New Jer sey who engaged her pastor to spank her naughty boy for her; and it is said the parson did a good and ef fective job on the obstreperous lad. Shall we now have spanking courses Introduced into our theological semi naries? Surely the farmer's wife needs as much help in rearing boys as the farmer needs in raising pigs; for is not a boy off more value than many pigs? By all means let our “Executive Committee of the Uni verse-Managing Movement” arrange, without delay, for spanking courses for candidates for ths ministry. Perhaps Mr. Carnegie might be in duced to furnish the money for an experimental beginning of such work In connection with some of his libraries, or in a room of the Peace Palace at the Hague; for some time ago he expressed the de sire to spank Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft for falling out with each other. Or, Mr. Rockefeller’s hook-worm commission might be induced to in clude spanking courses in their pro gramme of redemption for the land. But whether any or all of these be nign individuals or corporations, will undertake the work, it is per fectly clear that the spanking courses must te provided to run parallel with the agricultural courses for preachers. The agricul tural courses are designed for preachers who are to spend their lives as pastors of country church es; and that may make such courses somewhat unpopular. But the spanking courses will be required of all preachers: the city man need ing them, perhaps, even more than his rural brother. Once he spanking courses are ac quired, the tailors, perhaps, will de vise a pocket in clerical cut coats for a paddle to be carried by the urban pastors in their daily rounds, ( so that they may discharge their spanking functions on short notice, without having to return home for a suitable instrument or having to use a soiled shinffle brought from the back-alley. Meanwhile, tt is to be hoped that there will be left somewhere an old fashioned preacher of the gospel, who will not undertake to farm for the farmer, bank for the banker, doctor for the doctor, nor litigate for the lawyer, but who will preacn to the sorrow-stricken the solaces of the Saviour’s tender love and who will proclaim to conecience-smitten sinners ihe salvation that atoning Grace offers for the redemption of the lost. And he will not want ffor a hearing. Mark that! DENNIS REID HEADS LUMPKIN SCHOOLS BATONTON. Ga., Sept «.—Prof. W.

Between Plow Handles At Farmers Convention One of the most interested and inter esting visitors attending the Farmers' union convention is Hon. J. H. Patten, of Belton. S. C. Mr. Patten is general counsel for the organization at Wash ington, where he has an office, and is during sessions of congress. He is the son-in-law of the late Senator A. C. Lat imer, of South Carolina, and has much the senator’s interest in and sympathy for the welfare and advancement of the Farmers' union and welfare of the farfn ers. As general counsel for the union ana practically in charge of its legislative department and work at V ashington Mr. Patten has been kept busy by the delegates gding over the legislative situation and answering questions about congressmen and senators. He is one of the conspicuous figures in the Read house lobby, where he is being con tinually buttoned by those in attend ance and where he Said among other things in reply to some questions put by a group of Georgia farmers: TRIBUTE TO HOKE SMITH. Senator Hoke Smith is one of the big gest men in the United States senate. There is ab-o!utely no question about his haying already gained an enviable standing and taken rank as an effective fighter and one to be reckoned with up on all occasions. He can always be counted upon to look after the interests of the people, particularly the farmers and working classes, as well as the com mercial and industrial needs of fihe south. Not within the memory of any of the oldest senators has any senator taken the commanding position that he has during the first year of his service there His fight against the terrific pensions increases, his efforts for the creation of a aivision of markets, his Interest in more liberal appropriations for agrculturai purposes, and his good work for a practical and cheaper trans portation of parcels packages, and par ticularly agricultural commodities are matters of record, and materialized in legislation- But ' more Important, strange as it may seem, is the need to day of genuine fighting southern men who stand for southern recognition and who are opposed to the mistaken notion that the south can be ignored and prac tically sold out because of its political partisan solidarity. Unfortunately these are too many southern congressmen who are willing to see the south and its people overlooked in the juggling of the cards for an advantage in the po litical game. Just because the south is solidly Democrat is no reason why sev enty-five millions more should be voted in pensions in order to try to keep in congress a few northern Democrats. Such is too high a price to pay. and U now being used in many northern con gressional districts as tn argument why Republicans should be elected. As a matter of fact the argument ought to be reversed and the fact that the south has been the backbone of the party in times of defeat and disappointment ought to have in duced the fulfillment of the faith and hope of the faithful and loysl. At least that is what Senator Hoke Smith has stood for and fought for most effectively and not only the state of Georgia but the whole country, and particularly the south and the farmers of the southland have every reason to be justly proud. At the last sessibn of the National Farmers' union convention held at Shaw nee. Okla., there was appointed a stand ing committee on education, consisting of C. C. Wright, North Carolina; Miss E. SmitJu Mississippi; J. F. Hughes. Arkansas; John McKinney, California, and Lawson E. Brown. Georgia- This committee since its appointment one year ago has done some very effective work as evidenced by its report made to the convention Wednesday afternoon, in the matter of shaping legislation look ing to the advancement of educational interests off the organization and create ing a greater Interest in the cause of education. It has appointed local com mittees to co-operate with the county authorities where the union is organized, has been the means in numbers of in stances of securing rural libraries, haa assisted in th'e establishment of Boys’ Corn clubs and Girls' Domeetlc Science clubs. The committee recommended the es tablishment of a department of market* ing and rural economics tn the univer sities of all the states, and goes on record as favoring compulsory education. The report was very gratifying to the delegates of the convention and was adopted by unanimous vote. Only a short session of the conven tion was held Wednesday afternoon, and the delegates about 3 o’clock were taken out in automobies to Chickamauga Park and Missionary Ridge, where after the delightful ride and from viewing the 1 many points of interest, each one came In refreshed and ready for the evening session. The evening session was consumed in discussion of the reports of the commit tee on greater consumption of cotton. The committee recommended that inas-i much as jute is a foreign-raised product! and cotton a home product, all manufac-' turers who use sacks in packing their supplies as wejl as all persons who use rope, twine, bags, etc., be urged to use cotton bags. It pointed out that if all bags, ropes and other articles now used in America from }ute was made from cotton, it would require a crop of sev eral million bales of cotton in excess of what is now raised. In connection with the recommendations of this committee, a committee of the wholesale people of| Chattanooga will meet with a like cp-| mtttee from the unioq for a further dis-1 cussion of the subject and with a viewj to ottering their assistance in the move-1 ment to interest the manufacturers and’ wholesale people over the entire country!
