THE NEEDS OF THE CHURCH.
The church today Deeds preach
ers more than anything else. One
of the charges against our theo
logical seminaries, made with
painful Iteration. Is that they are
making Biblical scholars and phi
losophers and ecclesiastical or
ganizers nod sociological diagnos
ticians. but that only now and
then do they deliver to tho
churches preachers and that they
aro not therefore supplying the
church's greatest need. Tho
church of today must hare men
of varied gifts. The work of
the modern minister Is many
sided. Ho must be pastor, teach
er. administrator, social engineer,
leader (let this not be forgotten),
but the church's supromest need
is for effective preachers, and be
cause of this need churct.es are
asking for preachers. When com
mittees of vacant churches go
on a search for a minister they
Invariably try to get on the trail
of a man who can preach. "No
man who knows how to preach
with grace and power ne<"3 stand
Idle In the market place a sin
gle hour."? Rev. Dr. Ezra Senior
Tipple.

Many modest cltlzons who have
heretofore refrained from public
utterances are now anxious to be
heaid upon the fisheries question,
especially that part relating to fish
tr.iiis. N'aiurally those who own
them arc the most insistent in (heir
defense, and If wo are to bellevo
seme of their tales we are led to
the conclusion that the fish Industry
In Alaska vlll not survive the abol
ishment of the traps. To preserve
the Industry wholesale slaughter
If necessary. ' However, many Al
uhkans, some of whom 'have an In
(imate ami far-reaching knowledge
or tho subject In hand, are not back
ward in saying that the fish are
being dostroyed and that In this, as
In all other material, the adago 1b
true that "waste brings want." ?
