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

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.

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.

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!

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!
In the use of cotton bags.
