Problem.
(By The Religious Rambler.)

One great denomination used to
boast that it built one new church a
day. Now federation lof denomina-
tions could make a still greater hit
by closing one church a day for a
generation.
The country is so seriously over
churched that out in Seattle a few
days ago the Home Missions Council
of Western Washington, representing
all the leading denominations, unani-
mously agreed upon a plan for elm
mating the overlapping churches with
which the state is burdened. This
means that the federated denomina.
tions are going to make a business OF
closing up whole lot of unnecessary
churches, which mistaken denomina
tional zeal has saddled upon these new
communities.

means that the federated denomina-
tions are going to make a business of
closing up whole lot of unnecessary
churches, which mistaken denomina-
tional zeal has saddled upon these new
communities.
Reforming Conditions.
The Washington plan is in conson-
ance with the principles adopted by
the Home Missions Council of the
United States, body officially repre-
senting all the important Protestant
communions, which in the past five
years has done radical work in un-
doing the mistakes caused by the COM
petitive spirit of the preceding fifty
years. The general public does not
yet know it, but this allpowerful
body, in obedience to the new spirit
of the times, is gradually reforming
the deplorable conditions of over
churching throughout the land
A decade ago the big denominations
were competing like mad with one
another to plant churches of their own
order in every new community. The
result is a familiar story. Towns Of
thousand residents frequently have
half dozen churches of different
denominations. Rivalry, ill-feeling and
inefficiency are the common result.
Probably no single factor In American
religious life initiates more definitely
against the progress Of Christianity
than this multiplication of weak con-
gregations. According to the porverb,
he that makes two blades of grass
grow where only one grew before is a
benefactor of humanity; but he that
makes two--or ten-churches grow
where only one is needed is not q
friend of either man or God. t..,f.+
.-., The 17s Varieties. -.1
According to the last census there
are 17S religious denominations. in
this country. The number is really
considerably greater than this. OF
this assortment, thirty-seyen bodies
contain over ninety-fve per cent of
the entire church membership of the
land, which is thirty-seven and one
quarter million persons. Somebody
lfacetiously calls this multiplicity OF
denominations "sects and Insects"
Even the larger groups are amazing
ly broken up into sections. There are
twenty brands of Lutherans, sixteen
brands of Methodists, fifteen brands OF
Baptists, ten brands of Catholics
twelve brands of Presbyterians, eleven
brands of Brethren-all according tc
the figures Of Uncle Sam.
That the same census told of 192,79E
church edifices in the United States
which experts say are about twice Of
lmany as are needed. The property
value is given as a billion and hal
dollars.
i Going Backward.
Confronted by the startling fact tina
church attendance is declining through
out the land. that churches are goint
backward, and that the ministry II
both underpaid and losing its formeI
prestige and leadership, the religious
leaders of the land have turned Il
such strong measures as are reporte

The New FRANCE

I Il is surely eloquent of the rejuvenated ma
l tional spirit of France that General Joffre
mas been able to drop twenty-nne general of
hcerS since the outbreak of hostilties twenty
-FOUR or them appearing in the headquarters
list Just published, without an audible voice
OF protest being raised and without any dan
ger TO his own supreme command Of the
armies. While dismissal of officers in such
large numbers has, perhaps, touch of comic
opera, to which the Germans will doubtless
direct attention. it is, above all, an indication
OF the fact that, for the time being at any
rate, France is united in way that it has
ably never been in all its brilliant history
Up to last August the general public
thought of the French army in terms of the
revelations at the Dreyfus trial. The belief
was common that there had been no material
change from the shocking conditions which
the "affaire" had disclosed. But 1t is clear
that change almost approaching a miracle
has taken place, else Joffre, a soldier and not
a politician, could not be in supreme command
III fact as we'll as in name. Politics in its
widest and basest sense had brought the
French army to so low plane as to make It
a byword and a laughingstock. 1t Is now
proven that the work Of regeneration must
have been begun about soon as the Dreyfus
mess had been made clean. The same won
derful power of rejuvenescence which France
displayed after the crushing and humilating
defeats of 1870 has again been shown, be-
cause Frenchmen have been welded in the
fire.
We hear great deal Of the absolute ma
ional unity of the German empire. In what
way is it superior to that Of the French re-
public?
