Why men do not attend oburcb, Is religion on the decline and ones of kindred nature. The preacher in diets Sunday papers, amusements and various other things as guilty by attrsotlng men from the places where they hold forth. Occasional ly one ia bold enough to turn the light back on his profession to see if any fault lies there. The man who should be In the pew, perhaps feels as though he would like to be, but Is not, givos various reasons. The sermons are not to him fresh and attractive, they an not delivered as if the speaker was impressed with the ch a motor of hia nwmnge, too of ten they are made np of platitudes which fail to inspire. The preacher avers that religions institutions are being attacked on all sides and even challenged to give reasons for their existence, and that these plausible aud specious arguments captivate the publio mind and reuder it unre sponsive to bis pleadings. Theie is probably fault both tn the pew and pulpit?" Does the preacher give time and thought to his topic, doea he present his matter with force and vigor, does he preach as though desirous of impelling assent, is bis sermon alive with the present life, and is his manner such as to impress bis hearers that his message is im portant to their souls salvation. . Those in the pew, if they are there are hnman, they have onrae fresh from the world and its hurry and bustle, with its many attractions both mental and social, and they must have stimulus both in the mat ter and manner of the message bear er or they flag in tpirit. If they are not there, why notf Perhaps be- cause they fool aforetime that the exercises will not appeal to their up lifting, that they will not come away satisfied either with themselves or the. aervioe, and they think it less sin to remain away. .

Dixon before the second conference of County Medical inspect ors beld recently in Philadelphia he took occasion to point out that in the literature of a oentury age three flgnres stood out prominently from the general back ground in all efforts to depict American life. They wrjre'gjg the minister, the Judge and the doc tor, and tbey stood on an eminent pedestal of respentibtlity and influ ence. He thinks the two lormer nay In a measure retain the reveren tial respect of the community and yet have a large control in shaping publio. opinion and ib the dissemina tion of knowledge tint he holds that the physician should he a larger factor In spreading av knowledge of familiar subject than either of the others.

Dr. Dixon paints twj pictures of a doctors rounds. In one the medical man travels in an auto, he rapidly diagnoses, as quickly prescribes and is off to hia next patient. He makes no effort to impress his personality on the family he makes s purely scientific call, and while bis medicine may be efficaci ous in arresting the disease the moral or social impress of his visit a tit!

He says a word as to questions of person al hygiene. He familiarises himself with the habitations of his patients, their modes of life, ventilation of their rooms, drainage, the water they drink, the food they eat and the clothes tbey wear.

Preaching Is A Lost Art Critic Lays Decline of Churches to ina Fact that Faatora Do Dot Heat the Baal Issue , of Life. The ' narrow-minded, out-of-date preacher Is the real and direct and Immediate cause, of nore "freetbink ing," skepticism agnosticism than any other factor In today's life, writes a correspondent in The De ijneator for December. Preaching seems to have become a lost art. Droning has taken its place. I sup pose I've been to church thirty times ia the pant year, and the only sermon I've had the patience to hear out from beginning to end was a "Talk'' given by Miss Jane Addams on settle ment work. That was realized Christianity, not idealized slnsb. Now I am not more critical than the fellow beings with w hom I assco ciate, nine tenths of whom would probably bear witness to this truth that the reason why church-going is dying out Is because the ministers do not make the right effort lo hold and Interest their congregations. . We want the vital, living, every day truth from the pulpit We want to know how to meet the tempta tions that faoe as during the week. We want to know how to live; NOW: and bow to die when our time comes. We want preachers who will help us work out our own salvation, and not wooden Images who have had no experience of life and who are satisfied to shout out a few galvanized commonplaces at our heads every Sunday and ait down aatisfled in their'sludies all the rest a f the week.
