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.
