In all the plenitude of his greatnessand with a halo of sanctity encirclinghis head Bro Barker last week showedthe smallness of his nature by criticis-ing

¬

us for receiving a rocking horsefrom Chicago which was sent to ourlittle son by his grandmother Notcontent with casting an ugly slur at ushe seeks further to prejudice the busi-

ness¬

men of Valentine against us be-

cause

¬

we entered into the spirit of theholiday season and carried the giftdown Main street where all might see

it Barkers article was about themost contemptibly little thing we haveever seen in a newspaper and exhibitsto a mar ked degree the fraternal spiritwhich fills his breast

There is to be a great denomination-al

¬

conference in New York the objectand purpose of which is to evangelizethis natiun This is a great movementand should receive the encouragementandsupport of every American Ac-

cording

¬

to the last census there areover 50000000 peo le in this countrywho do not profess Christianity As anation we are making war upon aChristian people whose only offense isthat they love liberty and are willingto die for it Millions of dollars aresent every year to foreign missions andthis has been going on for half a cent-

ury¬

and the results are most discour¬

aging It is to be hoped that at thisgreat conference something will bedone toward directing the millions thathave b een spent abroad to convert theheathen m missionary work at homeEven the ministry itself is sufferingfrom sheer neglect A better educatedministry is one of the crying needs ofthe Christian church in America Establish with some of the millions thathave been sent to foreign missions agreat university at home that will notonly educate the minds of our youngmen but one that will educate theirfiouls as well If we had a great nation-al

¬

university of this character for fiftyyears past and had required every manthat would presume to preach the gos-

pel¬

of Christianity to be a graduatethen we would not have had the shock-

ing¬

example of a Christian ministergoing on the stump in a-- national campaign and declaring that he thankedGod for the opportunity of making waron a Christian people This is onlyone but therewere many others whoparaded the littleness of their soulsand the shallowness of their professedChristianity The American peopleare not irreligious and the fact that 50

000000 of them refuse to alffiiate withsome Christian body can be very easilyaccounted for The fault is with theministry and not with the people Ifthis conference in New York will dosomething which will give us a betterministry the Christian minister willthen have sometlnug to thank God forand we will no more have our leligiousfeelings shocked by a follower of Christ j

glorifying God for an opportunity toshoot Christianity into a Christianbrother Quill

Whatever may be said of the scien-

tific¬

causes upop which the Kev Irl RHicks bases his yearly forecasts ofstorm and weather it is a remarkrblefact that specific warnings of everygreat storm flood cold wave anddrouth have been plainly printed inhis now famous Almanac for manyyears The latest startling proof ofthis fact was the destruction of Galveston Texas on the very day named byProf Hicks in his 1900 Almanac asone of disaster by storm along the gulfcoasts The 1901 Almanac by far thefinest most complete and beautiful yetpublished is now ready This remarkable book of near two hundred pagessplendidly illustrated with charts andhalf tone engravings goes as a prem ¬
