There was no church Church an- - cathedrals of the world or the mighty structures, dedicated to religion, which are rising in some of the great population centers of this country. Mine be the theme of the little churches which are scattered the throughout United States, little frame churches that you find standing on a small plot of ground along some country road; little red brick churches, tucked away on some village side street ; quaint little old churches which date from the earliest days of. the communities in which they stand; little churches wherever they may be in which there is no architectural magnificence to divert the mind of the worshiper when he comes into them from the busy world outside to commune with the Great Unseen. Tourists may gape in wonder at the splendor of metropolitan skyscraper churches, but it is doubtful if any of these great buildings will have the e place in the hearts of so many as does a little church out in Iowa. And that is because for more than 60 years a song familiar to thousands invites one to Come to the church by the wlldwood. Oh, come to the church in he vale. The Little Brown Church of song and story is located in northeastern Iowa, in the beautiful valley of the Red Cedar. It stands today among the same giant pines that were there when It was built back In. Civil war days, in the wlldwood which made the setting and provided the Inspiration for the caroL As a matter of fact the song, variously known as The Church in the Wildwood and "The Little Brown Church in the Vale, was not written about any' church specifically. Its author, Dr. W. S. Pitts, a native of Wisconsin, received the inspiration for the song while on a visit in Iowa. He wrote the song at his home in Rock county, Wisconsin, but it was sung for the first time publicly in the Little Brown Church in the Vale, in Bradford, Iowa, two miles northeast of Nashua. How he came to write the sohg and how it came to be applied to this particular church and to make it famous is told in Doctor Pitts own words, in a historical booklet, published by the Little Brown Church, as follows: "One bright afternoon of a day in June, 1857, I first set foot In Bradford, Iowa, coming by stage from McGregor. My home was then in Wisconsin. The spot where The Little Brown Lcient white-painte- d man-mad- e peo-pi- now-famo- there then but the spot was there waiting for it. When hack in my home wrote the song, The Little Brown Church in he Vale. I put the manuscript away. In the spring of 1862 1 returned to Iowa and settled at Fredericksburg, inasmuch as my wifes people were there. In the winter of 1863-- I taught a singing class in Bradford. We held our school in the brick building known as the Academy. In the years 1859 and 1860 the good people of Bradford were determined to build a church. I will not take time to tell of the trials, the disappointments and the successes that followed ; suffice it to say, by the early winter of 1864 the building was ready for dedication. While I was holding the singing school, near its close in the spring, the class went one evening to the church. It was not then seated, but rude seats were improvised. My manuscript of the song I had brought with me from Wisconsin. It had never been sung before by anyone but myself. I sang it there. Soou afterwards I took the manuscript to Chicago, where it was published by H. M. Hig;ins. It won a speedy recognition locally and with the years won its way into the hearts of the people of the world. Soon after its publication the church at Bradford (which had been painted brown for want of money to buy better paint, some say) became known as The Little Brown. Church in the Vale. Under the circumstances what is more natural than the little church at Bradford, painted brown, and the song should be wedded and known as one and the sante. Some people may try to rob the little church of its fame but as long as it stands it will be known as The Little Brown Church in the Vale. " At the time the Little Brown Church was built' Bradford was a thriving town and the largest settlement in that part of the state except Dubuque and McGregor. In 1868 the railroad came and passed Bradford by, touching at Nashua two miles away and across the river. Bradford, the largest town for many miles, gradually became a town of the past, while Nashua grew to the dignity of a population of 1,000. Where Bradford once stood, the land was turned into farms. The Little Brown church survived, however. This was on account of Doctor Pitts song, mainly, for after it was taken to Chicago and published, jubilee singers took it up, concert companies carried It all over America and into other parts of the world. A little church which sprang into fame within recent years is a quaint 1 4 old Quaker meeting house in Sandy Spring, Mdn 20 miles from Washington, and it came into prominence when President Herbert Hoover attended services there. There was a particular reason for his going to that church. The Presidents biographers tell how. Herbert Hoover is a descendant of Andrew Hoover, a stalwart colonial pioneer, who held farms in the uplands of Maryland," meaning the vicinity of Sandy Spring. It was in this meeting house, built in 1817, that earlier generations of the Hoovers worshiped. Off the coast of New Hampshire is a little church which is unique. It stands alone on Star island. Isles of Shoals, ten miles from the mainland, which is said to be the only island in America dedicated entirely to religious services. Built in. 1800, after the wooden meeting house was destroyed during the Revolution for fuel, this stone structure for 130 years has been the scene of worship by mothers, sisters and sweethearts, praying for the safe return of their loved ones, fishermen at sea. At ten oclock each night when all is hushed, the pilgrims place themselves in column formation. Lighted candles, encased in glass shades and swung from handles like lanterns, are passed out to them. Then the column silently winds Its way up the path to the top of the hill where the little gray stone church with its pine pews, its cracked bell and the metal codfish on the belfry, stands. There by the dim light of the candles, the pilgrims inside the church and outside for It is not large enough for all bow their heads in prayer. Then voices are raised in the words of some appropriate hymn and after this brief service the column moves slowly down the hill again. In naming the little churches there is one which should not be passed by without mention. On the top of Mount Casino, some two miles south of Covington,- Ky on the Highland pike, is what is said to be the smallest church in the world,, since it is capable of accommodating a congregation, of not more than three persons I This small brick structure was built in 1890 by some brothers of the Benedictine order, who used it as a shrine during the years they were engaged there in the making of sacramental wine. During the years of its use it contained an altar, the usual church candles, a crucifix and pews for the accommodation of three persons. But It is no longer used as a church, though still owned by St. Josephs parish of Covington. It Is now merely an out bouse of the estate on which it Is situated.

Caldwells SYRUP PEPSIN With prospects of high prices tor butterfat, the saving qualities of a good separator will be worth more during the winter months. Close skimming is always profitable but becomes unusually important with a close margin in many sections between cost of fee and the price of fat One of the important services rendered by testers of herd improvement associations is the monthly test on cream separators owned by members. Those who do not belong to testing associations are reminded that most creameries in making such will gladly a test for their patrons. Unfortunately on many farms least attention is given to the care of the separator during the winter months when butterfat is at the highest price. It has been found that the loss in skimming may be three times greater where the separator is not washed between each milking, yet during cold weather many make a practice of washing only every other day. Minimum ' losses and more regular tests are assured where the milk is separated before it becomes cold.

The vice is not common. One method of stopping the practice is to put a bull ring in the cows nose and two or three links of chain on the ring. When the cow attempts to suck herself, the chain Interferes with catching the teat. Another method is to put a bit in the mouth and attach it with a strap over the head. An improvement suggested on this is to mdke a bit of quarter-inc- h pipe and drill small holes in it When the cow attempts to suck she will draw air through the bit and soon quit The bit does not Interfere with eating or drinking.
