A Bad Mans Brief Record.

"Rut Omri wrought evil in the eyes of
the Lord, and did worse than all that
were before him. For he walked in all
the way of Jeroboam. the son of Nebat.
and in his sin wherewith he made Israel
to sin. to provoke the Lord God OF Israel
to anger with their vanitles. Now the
rest of the acts of Umri which he dld.
and his might that he showed. are they
not written in the book of the Chronicles
of the Kings of Israel? SO Omri slept
with his fathers, and was buried in Sa-
mari. and Ahab his son reigned in his
stead
The twenty-five years record OF Ahao
is not so colorless. Page after page or
the Bible is taken up with the accounts
of his misdeeds. The preface to the mar
rative is ominous:
And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in
the sight of the Lord above all that were
before him. And it came to pass. as if it
had been light thing for him to walk
in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
that he took to wife Jezebel. the daugh-
ter of Ethbaal. king of the Zidonians.
and went and served Baal, and worshiped
him And he reared up an altar 70,
Raal in the house of Baal, which he had
built in Samaria. And Ahab did more
to provoke the Lord God of Israel to
anger than all the kings OF Israel that
were before him.
Yet God had patience with him all
through the twenty-five years of his sin
full REIN, giving him every chance to re-
pent. This is Gods gracious way, today
as then.

THE VANISHING
COUNTRY CHURCH
Removal of More Substantial
FAMILIES to the Cities Cited
as One of the Causes.

the country church to disappear
is the question put by missionary
of the American Sunday School
II Union. J. w. Mexican. Mr..
Mexican is merely emphasizing con-
ditions which already have been recog-
nized.
A journalist travelling through Mis-
souri, last October wrote on the passing
of the country church. In Boone
county he found ten country churches
that had been abandoned in the
last ten years. Dean Mumford
of the Missouri State University, and G.
B. Ellis, for ten years secretary of the
state board of agriculture, agreed that
conditions in Boone county were typical
of those throughout the state.
One reason. they believed, was the re-
moval of many of the more substantial
families to the towns. which left too
heavy a pecuniary burden for those that
were left to carry. Mr.. Mexican sug-
the part of the parishioners to realize
that ministers cannot live on pumpkins
and beans. and now and then a few dol
lars thrown in.
But If people neglect an established
institution and fail to support 1t, the
natural inference is that in some way it
is getting out of touch with its con-
stituents. and failing to meet their
needs. In this case is the trouble with
is it due to unavoidable natural causes?
Whatever the cause the phenomenon is
important. The church has been a great
idealistic influence in the country. Is
this to flicker out, and if so, what is
to take it's place?

PATHWAY LEADS
TOWARD Church UNION
Narrowed Laity and Jealous
Ministers Once Opposed the
Idea as "BIasting at the
Rock of Ages" But That
Time Is Past.
Special Correspondence OF The Star.

Spec1dl correspondence VI
NEW YORK. January II, 1911.
1T is not so very long ago that various
church organizations manifested al
most as pronounced adherence to-
ward church union as they did to-
ward a pestilence. This. of course,
has never applied to certain eccle-
siastical leaders of few denominations.
but memorys firing line is still crowded
with those who recall the period when
narrowed laity and a jealous ministerial
alliance regarded church union as little
less than asting at the Rock of Ages.
Time was when church division came
about through different interpretations OF
church doctrines, creeds or the Scripture:
but time has greatly reduced these diff
ferences.
Seventeen years ago at the Chicago
worlds fair q religious congress was held
and adherents of 300 different sects were
present All were agreed as 10 the belief
in two fundamental truisms; the existence
of one God and that the soul is immortal.
But even then a church merger was only
regarded as a future possibility BY few.
and by many as an iridescent dream.
A conference has been held in the city
Of Baltimore, attended by representatives
branches
Church, and the matter of church union
was under consideration. Perhaps this
particular conference will not be fruitful
of effective results. but there is every
reason to believe that within the next few
years the several millions OF Methodists
will be organized as one united body. Al
a Presbyterian synod in Pittsburg a mo-
ton was presented asking for the re
moyal of restrictions on certain scriptural
ordinances The author OF the move
ypenf announced that he was actuated
in his motion because IL was one step
nearer church union. Its defeat is not
in any sense signal victory against ulti-
mate UNCONVENTIONAL consolidation.
IT is safe to assert that there never was
so much genuine sentiment toward join
ing in one body certain churches ar
present People are beginning to behold
with less of superstitious awe ten
denotes toward merging the interests that
have such variety of ways of working
for a common end.

COMPILING SERVICE
AND HYMNAL BOOKS
Lutherans Have Committee at
Work Getting a Common
Book Together for Use
Within a Year.

ira ~ UGH interest is being mani
kNH Tested by Lutherans of Wash
ington in the worl. of a spe
cial committee OF their de-
nomination which is compiling for the
3.22-0uUb Lutherans of this country a COM
mon service bool. and common hymnal.
Meetings Of the committee have been held
during the past few days in New York,
and sufficient progress has been made to
warrant the promise OF the completed
Iecls within a year, or two years at
most.
There are now four different service
books, all coming from the same liturgi-
cal service. first prepared by Martin Lu-
Their and published in 152s. In this adj
vance of one book and one hymnal for
use in the ECO Lutheran churches in
this country the General Synod. of which
the Rev. DIR. Remensnyder of New York
is leading member. the General Council
and the United Synod South are taking
the lead. MI of these bodies are repre-
scented among the a..cNo Lutherans in
New York. Said u prominent Lutheran
yesterday:
Liturgies tor public worship. according
TO Protestant beliefs. including the Eng
lsh Book of Common Prayer, had u COM
mon origin at the hands of Martin Luther.
Several famous leaders OF the English
reformation Went TO Germany some OF
them remaining as long as eighteen
months. After the publication of the
service in German. perhaps a generation,
the English service book made it's ap-
pearance. 1t has now extended In Ger
man and English TO every part of the
world"
Within the last ten years Lutherans in
New York have built more new churches
IN point of numbers than any other re-
ligious body. Their membership has grown
apace. in part. because l.utheranS long
members have been hunted up and at
fached to some organized work. Wealthy
men have assisted in land buying and
church building. and permanent stands
have been taken among Weather classes,
like St James on Madison avenue, and
Holy Trinity. in Central Park west. New
York Within the last year Lutheran
growth in membership In this country
has been marked 80 that they now rank
above PreSbyterians and are third in
Protestant bodies 1t is held that a
common service book and :, common
hsmnal will do much toward bringing
about Lutheran unity and still greater
growth in numbers OF all of them.

it for him. Having no pure-minded Wl1e'
he loses one Of the greatest encourage
ments to right living.
Ahab was such man. He might nave
chosen an earnest girl Of his own people
to be his bride. On the contrary, he
went to the wicked court of heatnen
country and married the wicked daughter
of wicked king. When he led Jezebei
to his palace he linked his life with one
whose awful iniduities helped to drag his
name down to everlasting oblOquy. Io
this DAY the names of Ahab and Jezebel
are synonyms of all that Is evil. ana
when one would say about the worst
thing possible of q wicked woman he is
very apt to say, .'She is regular Jeze-
bel. $500 - .
It is unfair to lay all the blame for a
mans sins on an evil wife. even II she IS
a Jezebel Ahab was responsible Tor ms
own sins. He had a magnificent oppor-
tunity to undo the evil done by his IS
father, Omri of whom the best that can
he said is that he led Israel into still
greater sin than 1t had been guilty , Of
before his time. The twelve years OF ms
reign are tersely summed up by the his
torian:
