THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER, FRIDAY JANUARY 16, 1903.
CHURCH RECORD FOR 1902.
p| l0 v ,, ar 1902 seems to have been a
on,l vear for tho churches. Thccon-
rilmtions, donations, benefactions ami
olleetion* for church purposes were
unusually lnr«o aml ‘here has been a
,n- ral enlargement ami strengthen
in''of church work both at home and
.ihroml. Those figures are from the
,'liicago Inter Ocean: “The mainte-
im . e of the thousands of churches in
,1,, fnited States cost last year $200,-
,» M iooo. Of this amount the Baptists
j,l si 1.1:18,000, tho Episcopal chtirch-
.. i'.:,, 181,000, the Congregationalists
«i,i op; 000. Tho Presbyterians of the
y.rth expended in the maintenance of
,'lurches and for church activities $17,-
asO.o'Mi, the Methodists, Xorth and
Suiitli. $24,502,000. All this was in ad
dition to the completion of the twen-
tj.tli century funds, aggregating in
\m, rica and England $10,(MS),000. The
\Meriean Methodists secured $21,000,-
„,,.i,,f (his amount, of which $0,000,1,00
|„ pay church debts, $7,000,000 to
,1 ui-eh colleges and seminaries, and
il, balance to aged ministers and phil
anthropies. The Presbyterians of the
N. rth raised $7,500,000, tho Canadian
M'thodists $1,250,100, the Canadian
pri-livterians SI,500,OOP, tho British
Wcslevans $1,500,000, the British Con-
cre.-ationalists $3,550,000, and tho Brit-
j.h llaj,lists $1,250,000. There was a
stead v but not romarkablo growth in
church membership during tho year.
Thor, is no change in tho estimate of
Member-hip of the Catholic Church in
l'ittv dmceses. Tho Presbyterians of
all bran, lies report an increase in mein-
b. r.ship of 52,000, Methodists 01,000,
Dapii-is ;|I1,000, Episcopalians 14,000,
Congregationali»ts 12,000, and Disei-
|,|, a of Christ 50,500. lteports from the
-ereral churches indicate that the year
Hu,-.* was not only an activo one in
church work, but in the extension of
religions influence. . Tho year saw no
weakening of denominational pride or
spirit, but there was more co-operation
between the sects in philanthropic and
educational work.”
This record is commended to thceon-
sideration of those who imagine that
church work and religious activity and
influence are on the wane.
A STORY FOR BOYS.
AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.
If agnculluro wero taught in our
common schools much of the false im
pression now in the minds of the far
mer boys would bo cleared away, and
a higher vnluo placed upon the farm
and the farmer, and he would quickly
see the opportunities offered by the
life of a farmer when conducted on
business principles, nud ho would not
be in such a hurry to rush to town or
city to seek other employment. When
we consider thnt agriculture is tho
foundation stono upon which rests the
happiness, prosperity and greatness of
onr country, nnd without which all
ether enterprises would fail, it seems
strange thnt this great scienco, dealing
"ith nature, to understand which
brings into play all tho faculties of tho
mind, would bo so little considered as
a part of our educational system. Tho
time has como for action along these
lines, and tho day is not far distant
"hen more of tho science of ngricul-
tnre will tic taught in nil tho schools
nnd less of foreign exchange nnd Greek.
In this end every farm pnpcrnnd every
newspaper should work until we place
He pi-oft s-ion of the farmernt itsrigiif-
fnl place at the head of nil the profes-
s'" 11 - requiring a know ledge of plant
-rewth ami requirements, and, above
;1 ‘h business ability. Is there any
' ther profession that requires n broad-
rt "-'l more comprehensive education
than this?
1 1 " t wo potent factors in a country’s
l' r "- re-s are roads nnd schools. And
' are inseparable. Where one is
good tho other will not long re-
1111 had, and whero ono is neglected
t: "tlo r is not found much in advance.
1 I inics-Rccordor has no apology to
1 for its persistent effort to have bot-
•" r country roads.
Often one of the best things that can
happen to a young man with the right
sort of material m him is to bo thrown
upon his ow n resources. 14o not com
plain because you have no one to lean
upon. A well known judge once gave
his son $1,01.0 and told him to gotocol-
lege and graduate.
The son returned at tho end of the
first year, his money nil gone nnd with
several extravagant habits. At the
close of tho vacation the judge said to
him:
“Well, William, are you going to
college this year?"
“I have no money, father.”
“But I gave you a thousand dollars
to gradunto on."
“It is all gone, father.”
“Very well, my son; it is all I could
give you. You can’t stay hero. You
must now pay your own way in tho
world.”
A now light broko in upon the vision
of the young man. Ho accomodated
himself to tho situation, again left
home, mado his way through college,
graduated at the head of Ins class,
studied law, became governor of the
state of New York, entered the cabinet
of tho president of the United States
and made a record that will not soon
die, for he was none other than Wil
liam 11. Soward.

ORCHARD LAND OF LONG AGO
The orchard lands of Long Aro!
O. drowsy win Is, awake and blow
The snowy blossom* back-to me,
And all the buds that used to b»!
Hlow back along the grassy ways
Of truant f eet, and lift the ha/s:
Of happy summer from the trees
That trail their tresses In the seas
Of grain that float and overflow
The orchard lands ot Long Ago!
Hlow back the melody that slips
In lazy laughter from the lips
That nurvet much 11 any kiss
Is sweeter than the app’e’s is.
Hlow back the twitter of the blrd«-
Tbe lisp, the titter, and the wrrds
Ol m-rrlment that foimlthe shluc
Of summertime a glorious wlnr
That drenched the leaves that loved It«
In or .-hard lands of Long Ago:
O, memory' alight and slug
Where rosy bellied pit..lose Ing,
And golden russets glint and gleam
As In the old Arabian ream
The frultsof that eochanted tree
The glad Aladdin robb d lor m :
And. drowsy winds, awake anil fan
Mr blood as when It overran
A heart ripe as the apples grow
In orchard -lands of I^»ng Ago!
