Official Paper of Oear<Greek ‘County Subscription* - 92.00 Per Year IM9BEK COUMDO EDITORIAL ASSOCMi I In this day and age if you want to attain to a rating, you naust be a breast smiter and a word pusher. The Chicago meat man budded better than he knew when tic ad vertised “Lots of tongue but no brains.” If you will take the trouble to analyse it as you listen to it, you will discover that all talk is ninety per cent hot air and the ten per cent something worth while. It looks as if there would have to be a treaty of peace between President Wilson’s democratic party and Col. Bryan’s democratic party; things do not seem to be \v&ry safe for the democracy. Take our vice-Presidents, for instance. Do you know why every body pokes fun at and belittles them? Why simply because they go along quietly and allow the other chaps to do all the contend ing. In2oooCounties This Month The Forces of the Church of Christ Will Gather To Face the Facts IN 2000 counties in the United States the pastors and laymen of 30 great denominations will meet in conference this month. It is the kind of conference that generals hold before a critical engagement; that business men hold before entering a new market. A conference of judgment, not emotion; a clear-eyed facing of the facts. A Survey that Business Men Must Admire For more than a year hundreds of workers have been quietly engaged in making a scientific survey of the mission fields, and of America county by county. The facts developed are startling. No such picture of America’s religious situation has ever before been drawn. On the basis of these surveys thirty Protestant de nominations are uniting in a Nation Wide Cooperative Campaign Each of the thirty denominations has its own “For ward Movement” organized and officered. The Interchurch World Movement is the clearing house for all of these. It is the agency which the churches have created to avoid duplication, to foster cooperation and make sure that every man and dollar render the utmost service possible. The month of April will be devoted to making the facts of the survey known to America; in the week of April 25th - May 2nd, will come a united simultaneous financial campaign. Whether You Are Inside the Church or Out To every man and every woman who loves his country, these 2000 county conferences are vitally important. For the facts developed by this great survey show vividly what forces are at work in America—and what kind of a country this country is to be. See that the pastor of your church appoints delegates. Any pastor can tell you the con ference place and date. Or write direct to the Interchurch WORLD MOVEMENT 45 WEST 18th STREET, NEW YORK CITY The publication of this advertisement is made possible through the cooperation of 30 denominations.

The garden has no rose bush, Nor hemlock tall and stern. But willows, pines and redwood; And violets, moss and fern. The little brook that winds its way Among the nooks and rocks, Smiles sweetly at the poor man’s child As along its banks he walks. The rustic bridge that spans the stream. is tiodden by little feet. Oh! would the son of the rich man Think this a rare treat? And would he enjoy the little birds That make music for the poor. Or would he simply frown and say “I think this a dreadful bore”? But could the son of the woodman No matter where he roamed, Forget the stream and rustic bridge And his dear old-fashioned home?
