DOES THE CHURCH MAKE GOOD?
By Her. Dr. Cory
There may be a dilTeronce of opinion as to
the prime object of the church. Certain re
. suits that cannot be tabulated may well be con
sidered its most important work. To touch the
inner life; to quietly sow the seeds of prin
ciple and righteousness; to diffuse an ittmos
t phere of brotherhood, of lofty aspiration, and
eternal hope; and to make present in human life
the consciousness of God. The institution thai
does these tilings deserves the highest esteem
and should enlist the most earnest effort of
every one.
But, also, there is a demand for a show of
concrete results. The demand is just. There
ought to be concrete results to prove the vital
ity of this inner, quiet hidden work.
The fact is there are concrete results, plenty
of them, and the world ought to know about
them. '
The facts show that the church is the great
reservoir of power for all social work.
Out of one thousand and sixteen workers in
settlements, charities, and so on in America,
seven hundred and fiftv three, or seventv-four
per cent, were found to be church people, in a
recent canvass.
In the charity organizations of the country,
ninety-two per cent were found to bo church
Miiembers and in the social settlements eighty
eight per cent.
In the board of directors of many an institu
tion doing far-reaching social work for chil
dren, for outcasts and for our cities, every director-
pr6ves to be a member of some church.
As a result of a plan inaugurated by the
charity organization society of Buffalo, one
hundred and thirty-two of the churches of that
city are engaged in charity Avork.
The charity directory of New York city gives
the following list of social activities among the
Protestant churches of that city.
''Eleven social settlements directly connected
with some church. , '
Thirty churches engaged iii fresh air work.
Fifty church kindergartens.
Forty sewing classes.
Twenty-nine employment societies.
One wood yard.
1 Twenty gymnasiums.
Thirly industrial, trade and manual training
schools.
Four night schools.
Fleven kitchen gardens.
Eighteen penny provident funds.
' , Seven day nurseries.
Two lodging houses.
v, Besides various dispensaries, clinics, flower
' and fruit missions, coal clubs, libraries, read
ing rooms, baths, summer homes, laundry
-schools, burial societies, athletic clubs, medical
" and legal-aid societies, soup and coffee houses.
The "Department of Church and Labor" in
, connection with one Protestant denomination,
last year, directed campaigns in six cities, en
S tared four hundred shops, enlisted five-hundred
x; preachers, held one thousand meetings, distrib
y, uted fifty thousand special programs aud spoke
to two hundred thousand working men. Mass
"'meetings for workingmen were held in church
es, halls and theaters, with audiences of from
'ono thousand to ten thousand, and conferences
rwcro arranged for employers and employees
vfor the discussion of industrial problems.
These are just, sample facts. They could be
lulliplied ad infinitum. The church does this
,'ork quietly and as a matter of course.

facts do not get into the daily papers. Only
those who read the.ehurch papers get glimpses
of what is being done.
The church trains the good Samaritan of to
day. The church breathes life into the mass of
social and eleemosynary work that is going on.
The church is Christianizing' the world and
Christianity lies at the base of our civilization.
AH of these things would be done if the
church did nothing about them directly, because
of that which lies at the heart of the church
the spirit of Jesus Christ. The closer the
church keeps to the simple message of the gos
pel as its prime object, the deeper, the wider
and the more far-reaching will be its influence
and its uplifting power among men.
YOUNG MR. ROCKEFELLER
Cut to the quick, evidently, and thoroughly
outraged at continued newspaper nagging of
Mr. John 1). Rockefeller, Jr., thai young man's
former pastor, Dr. Dowling, of Brooklyn, has
entered a spirited defense of his erstwhile as
sociate and declares that the young man in the
case is entirely worthy of any citizen's unqual
ified respect, good will and friendship.
And when one comes to think of it, it is a sin
gular phase of American journalism that this
man should have been so constantly and con
tinuously the target for unkind common I, sneer
ing allusion and sarcastic reference. His Sun
day school endeavors, for one thing, have been
ridiculed unmercifully; he has been scoffed at
as a smug hypocrite, and laughed at as a
"fake" enthusiast. And yet, he seems to have
obtained and held fast the high regard of one
of Brooklyn's most scholarly and consecrated
clergymen; a gentleman no longer jointly inter
ested with him in church work, to be sure, but
one who must have had fair and ample oppor
tunity to study young Mr. Rockefeller exhaus
tively, nevertheless.
Mr. Rockefeller appears to seek a rather
quiet and unostentatious sort of life. He fig
ures in no midnight automobile smash-ups; he
does not frequent the Great "White Way, in
New York, flis name has never been connected
with an Evelyn Thaw; he does not hang around
the stage doors. Ho owns, nor patronizes, no
race tracks; he figures in no questionable court
proceedings. He does not give vulgar and dis
gusting dinners to disreputable friends; and
he is not known tobe the "angel" behind any
aspiring "star" in musical comedy circles. Jn
short, Mr. Rockefeller appears to be an emi
nently clean and upright young man neither
startlingly brilliant nor asininely dull; neither
immaculately white nor noticeably spotted,
"Why, indeed, should such a young man be the
persistent butt of a lot of cheap gibes and
doubtful humor? The fact that he possesses
millions, and will possess many millions more,
argues nothing to his discredit, per so, surely.
His methods of living are in somewhat marked
contrast with those of some other rich mens'
sous, lie might have gone the way of Harry
Thaw and degenerates of that ilk, and never
have lacked for assistance along the road to
perdition; but he did not choose to. On the con
trary, he takes himself seriously; and if now
and then he says a foolish thing, he does not
seem to make a habit of doing dirty ones.
It is not surprising that gentlemen informed
of young Mr. Rockefeller's real character some
times lose patience with his too energetic critics.
POLITICS AND POLITICIANS
Representative and Mrs. Richmond Pearson

Charles J. Curry, secretary of state of Cali

,to contemplate calling a special session, of the
legislature to consider a primary law and a
liquor reform measure.
James R. Garfield, son of the late President
Garfield may bo nominated by the republicans
of Ohio to make the race against Governor Har

nate for a second term.
Caleb Powers, whose several trials on the
charge of complicity in the assassination of
Governor GoebeLof Kentucky occupied public
attention for nearly five years, has announced
his candidacy for congress.
The city of Toledo, Ohio, expects to have a
hot fight on for mayor and other city ollicials
this fall. The street railway problem is- the
leading issue and it will be fought out along the
lines of Tom Johnson's three-cent fare cam
paign. The new senatorial primary law in Mar land
is not received with favor. The republican
leaders regard the measure as unconstitutional
and they have practically decided to ignore the
law in their selection of a candidate to be voted
for next January, when the general assembly

Tammany Hall is on the anxious seat these
days in view of the near approach of the New

and other city officials. The famous political
organization not only has a hard fight on its
hands, in the municipal election but' also has to
contend with several threatening revolts in its
own ranks. At the primaries to be held next
month a number of the best known leaders in
Tammany will have hard fights to retain their
leadership against the democratic anti-Tammany
organizations.
A country-wide, movement to organize the

in Cleveland, Ohio. According to the origina

every important railway center in the country
for the purpose of electing men to the various
state legislatures and to congress who will fur

railroad men and work to repeal any that is ad
verso to their interests. Although the plans
for extension are still in a preliminary stage,
it is said that some of the leading railroad com
panies are behind the movement.

OF .PASSING . INTEREST
Bread and Cakes
llousewhes in both Uoston and Xriv
York complain that not only has the
baker's loaf of broad slirunkou In M70,
but that tlu former luxury of o:ik' lias
lost its savor. Economy in ogs, but
ter and miliar lias -wrought dire results.
The new cake has outwardly the charm
of cheaper malket, but within it is
flat, stale and unprofitable. It may bo
dij;ettble. but not nourishing and cei
tainly it docs not appeal to the taste.
Still, it, is leiojjmed that the baker
alko tiuiht live and that higher pi ices
for his raw m.iterial must mean higher
prices for his product or else economy
in its making. The ultimate consumer
must pay either in fewer .sweets or in
higher prices. The kitchen cannot af
ford the remedy nor the kitchcu an in
cut ion. The only relief must como
either in lower prices for supplies or
higher incomes for the wage earners.
Otherwise there will hae to bo a new
school in cookery which shall unite at
tractiveness to the palate, nourishment
to the body, and economy of the puie.
An Inland Voyage
If is an interesting inland 03 age
that has been made by two steamboats
from tliu Great- Lakes to the" Mississ
ippi. Their route from Michigan to
the Gulf was used by the Indians lefore
whitu men came t America and was
known to the Trench in Canada before
the colonies along the Atlantic coast
had reached the Appalachian range.
These Itoats went from Grand Rapids
to Lake .Michigan, thiough Green bay
and up Fox rner, through Lake Winne
bago to the Portage canal, to the Wis
consin river and then to the Mississ
ippi. The Portage canal has nine locks
ami to pass them it was necessary to

The passage, of thes.0 little steameis was
by a route for which there is little com

Mississippi by way of tho Illinois river.

Graft and Taxes
There is a revelation of urban graft
by Allan Itobin&on, president of the Al
lied Real Kstato Interests, in New York
city. He tolls this story:
"A friend of mine was approached
by a tax inspector.
" 'I understand, Mr. II ,' said the
inspector, that you are trying to have
your real estate assessments reduced.'
" 'Well, not exactly that,' answered
Mr. 11 . 'It seemed to mo that the
property was being assessed for more
than it was worth, and I was consider
ing an application for a lower apprais
al.' " Must leavo that to me,' replied the
inspector. 'I'll fix it up for you all
right!'
" 'None of that fixing business for
me,' said the leal estate man.
'It
costs too much. I Ml apply to the prop
en authorities and see that the thing
is done in the regular way.'
" 'All right. You'll be sorry if you
do,' and the inspector walked away.
"Sure enough, instead of reducing
his assessment, the city added $80,000
to the taxable value of Mr. 11 's
realty, and he is paying taxes on that
every year. There are thousands of
similar cases."
Street "Nomenclature
Pittsburg is puzzled about names for
its streets. Tho need ot new names
comes from the absorption of new bor
oughs, where street appellations were
duplicated. A special tommission has
made a report. It considered -100 pro
posed names, among them Jeffries
place, Sandow place, and tho names of
baseball favorites. Four prominent
stieets were favored with the iiames
Fortitude, Temperanco, Prudence, and
Justice. All four htrecis are business
thoroughfares and merchants say they
will move rather than accept tho new
names. Tho most strenuous objections
wen- made to (hanging tho name ot
fifth aenue, with he miles of business
houses and tine residences, to Washlung
tan avenue. Pittsburg certainly ought
to give local honor to the young Vir
ginia surveyor, whose knowledge of

school in Xew York troiu which seven
tv-two students "were jeceiitly gradu

exeiy leligious movement that achieves
success by merit. It may begin with
an untrained ministry but that is not
the tea son for its victoiies. The six
months' course in tho Salvation Army's
school includes sociology, mathematics,
physiology, hygiene, music, elocution,

observations. It isjfiiot a new
idea, but the practice might be more
general. Now aud then one henrs of
an American about to go abroad for
the first time, making a pilgrimage to
Niagara Falls and to Washington. It
is proverbial that foreigners always'ask
an American visitor if they live seen
that natural wonder and their ntional
capital. Englishmen who make the
grand tour have not the same cmbar
hassment, for it is comparatiely easy
for them to sec every corner of their
little island. Hut Americans will have
to extend their travels at home, for
they may be asked nowadays about
their country beyond the Mississippi.
Telephoning In Germany
Telephoning in Berlin has peculiar
difficulties. There is an extra charge
for night service, when girl operators
are replaced by men. Tho longdistance
wires in tho daytime are monopolized
by the, hours. Ono official informed
an impatient caller: "The trouble is
tho public telephones too much." This
state ot mind is like that nf n mini.
ter of railways who expressed his ojiin
ion that the "publie travels too much."
One who complained at headquarters
was ioiu mat on a certain date theio
would be a second line. The date camo
and passed but no second lino material
ized. Inquiry at the office brought this
answer. "The official who told 3011
that office secret went beyond his priv

known, until it is actually opened."
Home and Foreign Travels
If it be tme that the value of foreign
travel, consists largely in the compari

father has adopted a wise plan in the
education of his son. This father has
promised tht'boy a year in Europe, pro

a trip through tho west. This does not
