The Curse OF Meroz

When the great song of triumph
is sung. in the Book of Judges. the
heroic deeds of those who saved
Israel are celebrated. Among those
mentioned. enc city gets. not praise.
but curse.
Curses We Meroz." saith the an
gel of the Lord. Curse We bitterly
her inhabitants because they came
not TO the help of the Lord against
the mighty
1t does not say that the, people of
Meroz betrayed their cause. They
did not take sides with the enemy.
Neither We're they Indifferent. for
they knew well thai their fate was
bound up with that of those who
were fighting Israe's battle. They
simply refrain rom doing anything.
They were comfortable in their
own homes and refused 10 leave
them. II was the curse of inaetion.
Meroz has long crumbled into
dust, but her citizens are still with
us They are the prosperous. com
Portable people, who believe in the
right, but who will not put them
selves to any Inconvenience in its
support They are always more than
willing that good causes should
prosper. but they do nothing to
make them prosper.
The churches are full of these
INDECENT well-wishers. They shake
the preachers hand and tell him
they enjoyed his sermon. They
select the Sunday school that has
the best gymnasium and the most
lavish Christmas entertainment and
send their children there, except
when it is a fine day for a drive.
They drop dime in the collection
plate, but are always out when the
committee calls about their sub
scription. They are lockwood; they
are spiritual deadheads; they are
religious deadbeats.
The 1sraelites won their battle,
and the church will win its battle
but no thanks to the "Merozians. >"
II We have cause for giving thanks.
1t is no credit to the multitude of
amiable loafers who nurse their
comfort while others give their
time and money for the common
good.
