RURAL CHURCHES
in Ohio SAID TO
BE ON DECREASE

Recently there was held at the Ohio
State University, Canton, o country
life conference under the joint aus
pieces Of the commission on the church
and country life OF the Federal Coun-
ell of the Churches Of Christ in
America and the Ohio Rural Life As
sociation. About ESQ men and women
were in attendance, one-third being
ministers. The report Of the Ohio
survey was received with great inter.
est. In many respects It was surprfs-
ing and sensational.
The survey shows that majority
of the rural churches in Ohio. serving
population of 1,750. 900, are barely
holding their own or are slowly dying.
There are 5000 of these churches, OF
one to every unit OF 2s6 people. Meigs-
vile township is typical Of many town.
ships. 1t has nine churches for SAC
people. None Of these churches has q
resident pastor. Nearly twothirds Of
the 6000 churches have no resident
pastors. More than 5000 are without
the undivided services OF q minister.
More than $500 have ,one-third or less
Of a minister's service Seven hum
dred have no minister at all.
No wonder the Ohio survey PRO-
voked lengthy and, at times, heated
discussion. The question Of fedora
ton was Immediately injected and the
demand insistently made that. as one
lady put it, the people higher up"
get out OF the way and stop blocking
the efforts of the rural communitiel
who want to get together for the good
of the Kingdom.
Many requests for aid in federating
churches are ON file at the Columbus
office Of the Commission on Church
and Country Life
Hon. Clifford Pinchot is chairman Of
the commission

SEOUL, Korea.--American mission
aries In Korea and japan are deeply
interested in the announcement that
the missionaries OF the American
Southern Methodist mission In Korea
have decided to recommend TO their
home board that the schools under
their direction be reorganized so as
TO conform to the new Japanese edu-
cational requirements. The essential
provision of the new ordinance is the
discontinuance of religious teaching
or ceremonies as q part of the school
curriculum. The ordinance stipulated
that the private schools should con-
form within 10 years.
The step taken by the mission
marks the beginning of new epoch
for Christian education IN Korea. II

How are we placing spiritual things

PLANS FOR ROUSlNG CONVENTION
AT MILLS SCHOOL NOW COMPLETE

, The conference Of members Of the
Quiet Hour will be conducted by Miss
Annetta Dieckmann, the educational
secretary OF the Young Women,s
Christian Association. The comrades
OF the Quiet Hour probably need the
yitalizing influence OF this conference
more than the workers OF some of
the moro active and apparently more
important committees OF the young
peoples societies.
The citizenship committees will
meet with Lloyd r. Killam. Killam
has been the prime mover in the ex-
cellent citizenship work undertaken
by the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion during the last few years, and
can speak from experience as TO the
best means Of accomplishing practical
results under the peculiar conditions
imposed By the mixed population OF
Hawaii
George Bettin will direct the con-
ference Of members of the Press COM
mittee. Bettin came TO Mills school
last fall from the Santa Clara Valley
where he has organized several.
Christian Endeayor conventions. He
is chairman of the Publicity committee
for the present convention.
Members Of the Music committees
will meet with George Andrus, who
has perhaps had more experience in.
work of this sort than any other per-
son in Honolulu, an experience in
Guiding among others the Kameha-
meha schools, Central Union Bible
school, Central Union choir, and the
Apollo Club Of the Young Mems
Christian Association. Andrus will
have charge of the music Of the con-
vention.
Although designed primarily for the
committee workers in the young peo-
pies societies of the city, these con-
ferences are open to all who care to
attend. The committee conferences
which will be held at 4 o'clock will be
preceded by officers conferences and
viii be followed by two mass meet
ings OF the whole convention. one at
5 O'Clock and the other after supper
at o'clock. The details of the pro-
gram for these mass meetings are not
yet complete.

THE HusKS AND
NOT THE GRAIN


"If thou hadst known, even thou,
the day of tbs visitation"
The words of the text are associated
with the great triumph In the life OF
the Christ, the time when men sought
by force to take Him and make Him
king. Yet these words OF solemn
warning come to us at the time Of His
triumph, they tell of the fall of His
beloved city and nation because they
had neglected to read the will Of
God in the various manifestations
which He had made to the Chosen
People from the time of their earliest
history. God had visited the people,
and so intent were they on their buy
in gand selling, on the commercial
side of life, on the obedience to the
outward when the inner man needed
cleansing, that they failed to hear the
voice of God, and the warnings of his
tory.
For history is the voice Of God.
And for men who have ears to hear
and eyes to see Divine Figure 10
once more standing in the Market
Place, and in legislative hall, and
walking in silence through our be-
loved land. Never was there an hour
for Jerusalem or Athens, Carthage,
Venice or Florence, that held more
solemn issues for decision than this
hour for the republic. What are the
signs of the times? Jerusalem fell
the leaders had lost the great con-
victions. Athens fell-she became
friv0lnus aud lost the sorious nnfp
Rome declined because her manhood
decayed. Florence fell because she
lost her love of liberty, and the heroic
spirit passed away The fall of a
city or nation on the outside begins
with the waning of seriousness on the
inside. -. ~
That which alarms the lover of his
country today is the decline in the
