Action of Lebanon Presbytery Tues
day on Question of Union.

Lavergne, September 10.-What-
ever Lebanon Presbytery, the lead
ing Presbyterlal body of Cumber-
land Presbyterianism, will do when
formal proposals for union with the
Northern Presbyterian Church are
made, it made it altogether evident
yesterday that it does not regard
the present as the proper tune for it
to move in the direction of such me-
gotiations. This sentiment which
finally prevailed with practical
uuanimity was that the subject of
union overtures by the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church has been pre-
maturely raised, and that hasty
action might not only delay union,
if union should ultimately seem de-
sirable-and a majority will, in the
end, probably favor union-but
would possibly hinder the present
activities of the Cumberland Pres
byterian denomination. 1t was ar
gued that at least no action should

IDEAL LClTIZENSHlP.
REV OTIS w. BARKER IN CONNECTICUT
CITIZEN. -

I was recently told the following
story: Some years ago the sum of
$1,000 was offered to certain church
on several conditions. Some of the
conditions applied to the minister. If
the church received the money! the
minister was to bind himself not to
vote, not to speak on public questions,
in short, not to be man. To the
honor of this church be it said that
the generous offer was not accepted,
and the minister votes and speaks his
mind plainly on all matters to which
the Golden Rule applies.
1t is high time that once for all we
laid aside the notion that theory is to
be divorced from life and the righteous
ness of Sunday from the practice of
Monday. The ideal will be reached
when every man, no matter how hum
bly, bis station, no matter how respect
able his calling, believes that he is in
this world for good just so far as he
can make his influence 60. Every man
is citizen, first of all, Of the little
home may be, to make it's politics
clean, its roads good, it's schools of high
grade, it's churches progressive and
strong; then citizen of bis state to
keep IAN eye on what the legislators
at the capital are doing; then a citi-
zen of his country to make it select
among the nations of the earth for
leadership in things that are honest
and Of good report, and, finally, citi-
zen of the whole earth to make it the
fitting footstool of the King. The
citizenship that goes no further than
ones front dooryard is no citizenship
at all. We have put too much stress
upon being not of the world; now let
us turn around and bear down strong
on being in the world to make the
world better.
The ideal citizenship is that of the |
man who faithfully stands at his post,
who is good father,a loving husband,
generous neighbor, a noble friend |
Put Jesus Christ in the hearts of men,
and you stop much of the deviltry of |
to day. Czolgosz surrounded by a |
Presidents body guard is still an an
archist; Czolgosz converted to Christ |
is no longer an anarchist, but one who |
loves his country and loves his fellow
men.
There is nothing ideal that leaves
out Christ; there is nothing Christian
that leaves out duties to ones neigh |
Dor: there is no citizenship that doe
not say with Paul, "Our citizenship is |
in heaVen,'
