THE CHURCH's APPEAL

rs the ministry losing its APP
peal as a career for men?" The
New York Evening Post. which
asks this question, prints Stats
tics which seem to point TO an
affirmative answer. The statistics
show that in the Protestant
churches of America there has
been a marked decline in the mum
Der OF candidates for the ministry
and that there are today at least
5000 untitled pulpits which there
is no prospect of filling.
Government figures are not
yet available. but from the data
gathered by the New York news
paper there have been, it appears.
between 1000 and 10000 stu
dents in the theological seminar
les this year. over 1000 of whom
were in Roman Catholic institu-
tionS. This is on the Bureau of
Education basis OF making up
such tables. The failing off in
the nurhhsr Sf sehlihaty students
which took place in tbesHrotest-
ant seminaries following the. waEi
has been only partially made
good p.. ss....s
! In 1890, according to the
United States Bureau OF Educa4
ton. there were 1928 seminary
students., of whom l.fll were
Roman Catholic. Following the
same method of figuring, the New
York Evening Post estimates the
total number OF seminary stu
dents in 1920 at 1885, of whom
1901 were Roman Catholic.
The Evening Post quotes a
leading church OFFICIAL NSlreS llRS.
just completed 1 SVvsyNofstha
situation, in the Protestant Semi
nariess as saying that very few
people understand the gravity Of
the crisis which the Protestant
churches are facing. Another OF
fetal declares that "aS many men
are needed each year to fill the
vacancies in the churches as are
in the total SeminarieS of all
classes.
1t would be exceedingly inter
esting to know why this decline
in the number of candidates for
the ministry i'll the Protestant
churches has come about. These
churches are raising more money
than they ever raised before. are
building more beautiful edidces
of worship, are engaging in larger
activities. How does it happen
that more pulpitS are going va
cant than ever before? An au-
thoritative answer must be found
If the churches in which this con-
dition exists are to grow and
play their part in the develop
ment of the spiritual life of the
American people.

Something to
Think AbOut
IN YOUR HOUSE.
By r. II. WALKER

IF YOU are not a careful reader of
L the Bible you may have the idea
that all the miracles which 1t details
are in the New Testament. but If you
will turn 10 the fourth chapter of
II Kings you may read an enter
taining story Of one OF the remarkable
things performed by Elisha in the
multiplication Of the pot of oil.
Elisha performed many miracles,
but of them all this one is perhaps
the most interesting.
A widow, one of the wives of the
sons of the prophets, tells Elisha that
her creditors have come 10 take her
two sons as bondmen in settlement OF
what she owes
Elisha asks her what she has In
the house which might be available
to settle the debt. Her reply is that
her only possession is pot of oil.
At hts direction the woman sends
her sons 10 gather all the empty re-
ceptacles In the neighborhood and
when they have been brought she
obeys the command of Elisha that
she shall pour from the pot of oil into
the empty vessels and this she con
tinues 10 do until all are filed and
then she sells enough of the store of
oil To pay her debts and there is suffi-
cient left to supply her and her sons.
What have YOU In YOUR houseii
The trouble with most of us is that
we never value very highly the posi-
bilities OF what we have.
The apple on the high branch al
ways looks bigger and fairer to us
than the one in our hand.
The job that the other fellow has
always seems easier and more salts
factory than our employment
The other mans lot always seems
pleasanter than ours and his pros
poets and chances brighter and more
attractive.
The trouble is we do not properly
examine and truly estimate and wise
ly use what we have lin OUR house"
Success IS made UP entirely of what
we NUKE anu lluN We NSt H.
No man was ever born who did not
have the possibility of success.
