SKETCH FOR JOASH.
At the early age Of seven, Joash
began reign of forty years. He in
herited the easy disposition of his
grandfather, Jehoshaphat, rather than
/ the iron will of his grandmother,
Athaliah. While Jehoida the priest,
lived he was induced to pay outward
regard to the laws of the Lord, but on
the death Of the pontiff he lapsed into
the ways of the house of Ahab. zecha-
riah, the son of Jehoiada. was killed
by his orders. for having faithfully re-
proved his transgressions. During his
reign. HaZael made an attack on
Gath, and would have besieged Jeru-
salem had he not been bought off by
a bride, furnished from the treasures
of the temple. Later a small body of
Syrians defeated an immense host OF
his people, who were abandoned by
God for their faithlesSneSs to his COW
enant. His good for Judah was not
much nor lasting,' and friends and foes
conspired against him, for he was
killed by his own servants.

PRESBYTERIAN MERGER VALID.
Court UphoIds Combination of O. S. A.
Church With Cumberland.

In decision handed down by the
state supreme court at Little Rock,
Ark, the other day it was held that
the union between the Presbyterian
Church of the United States of Amer
lea and the Cumberland Presbyterian
church in 1906 was valid and that the
presbyterian Church of the United
States or America succeeds to the right
and title of all the property held nv
the Cumberland Presbyterian body.
The court declares that when the
general assembly of the Cumberland
churches voted to unite with the
Northern Presbyterian as to faith this
action transferred the right of prop
erty as well. This decision differs
from that of the courts of Tennessee
and Missouri, which held that the
churches united on a common faith,
but retained their Identity as to prop
erty rights.

The faint of Money.
There is one other character in the
story who remains to be mentioned.
Judas, one of the Twelve, forever an
example of how man can descend to
lowest depths, even while amid the
highest influences, gave rein to his
love for money. Now money, with all
its beautiful possibilities of ministry
and love and culture, has the faculty
of dwarfing the finer capacity of all
who love it. The person who thinks
over much of money is bound to suf-
fer in soul. There is no escaping that
law. Whoever pursues money as {.
primary purpose, imperils his soul Cor
this world as we'll as for the next
There is not a crime ever committed
that has not at some time or other
been done from lust for gold. Love of
money made Judas the disciple over
into Judas the betrayer.
When Jesus brushed aside his re
monstrances against the waste involv-
ed in Mary's act-although much that
seems like waste to petty minds is often
the highest use-he apparently resolved
to abandon this impractical Leader,
to feather his own nest at the same
time. So he bartered with the
ecclesi. site for the betrayal of the
Lord: only to learn too late that even
the most sordid soul may win financial
success at too great cost. Judas got
money, money got Judas; and that is
why he stands pilloried highest in the
worlds hall of infamy.
