WHILE at Deerfield last Sunday at the township Sunday school conven- tion we learned, What we did not know before, that the place had four churches. 7" We saw three meeting houses. The population of West Deerfield in 1890 was 783. There is a Presbyterian and a Lutheran and two of Evangelical churches, as we have here. Now we have noquarrel with those churches, but frankly say they are ”too numerous. " ' To sup port four ministers and run four churches is too heavy a tax on that community. Then lots offolks prob‘ ably pay little or nothing toward the support of these churches. And what is more two good, strong. well efl'ected. _.

We are glad our northern siilmrl) begins to see how valiantly we put our shoulder to the wheel of its prosperity to give it a “boost." Some republics are ungrateful, but Waukegan is not; she is as thankful as an old maid who has waited $‘ears for an offer that finally came. Waukegau has a population of 8500. It was over 10,000 a few monthsago, but §o many have gme to war that the above temporary reduction was effected. â€"a Highland Park News. Good excuse: never thought of that. WE note with pleasure that the Lake Blufl' municipality has put its foot down on dancing. That is right: the morals of those innocent bishops, presiding elders and class leaders should be protected. But it is rather rough to compel ordinary Christians to come back to the Forest or the Park, or go to Waukegan to spend the night and have a bit of healthful and innocent recreation. Still, the righteous have always suffered per- secution in this world ,and always will.

Extra copies of the News can be had each Week by calling at the of fice at three cents per copy What we want in Phort is that the managers of our schools, city. library and every other institution shall keep themselves in frank. free and full touch with the people and no. even seemingly, star chamber methods. So our city council would often gain in public confidence if many of its measures were introduced at one meeting. and then laid over as a special order to a subsequent meet ing, full notice of which being given in the papers the people interested would be present to hear and he heard if they wished. l We are in 11 “state of mind" over 11 High school building.

The board complied with the letter of the law. but not fully with its hpirit. or what its spirit should be. Hence, as we believe all this trouble and litigation. And so they had an election out in West‘ Deerfield Saturday last, July 9th. toi see if the people in that end of the old town and district wanted to take an appeal to the state Supreme court; and they voted as wewere told. “four 1 to one" to do it. l A GROWING EVIL At the recent Amherst collegi- mmmencement,om )f the prominent 'speakers emphasized the need of V more Open frank conference between boards of managers of educational and similar institutions and their pa- trons or supporters. He urged more frequent and more full explicit and detailed reportii of workdone, money expended. changes contemplated. in fact lull reports of all their doings. The bu‘ainess of such institutions. as of corporations and muncipalities, is of necessity managed hya small body of men, as board of trustees. school board, or board of aldermen; but‘ ‘ that fact,this speaker contended.doea not make this small board the only i party interested. or the only party to l be consulted. In case of colleges ; and other institutions which depend on the free gifts or offerings of the people for their support. the motive of self interest prouiptsto full reports ‘ but in those under the laws of the state or municipality the tendency is toward secrecy. and sometimes to~ i ward an attitude of undue independ- l ence if not at times of despotism. . We are in a “state of mind" ou-r. supported churches would do more for the community tbad all these four can do. ; Now webelieve in doctrinalpreach ling. good, strong. vigorous sermons. 'all saturatfll with the doctrines of Christianity. It is the only basis of great and powerful revivals of re» ligion, and the only basis of vigor- lous, healthful church growth. It is ;nlso the only positive way for toning ‘ up the public conscience and puhlk morals. Honesty is one of the great lcardinal yirtuos of private and pub- lic life and the pulpit must proclaim it. ;l i What is the remedy. The press and the pulpit. Everybody readu the newspapers.
