WHY throughout the ages and
in our own time, has there been
such persistent and intense in
terest in the life Of a people,
never numerous in comparison
with vast other populations, and
occupying very small portion
of territory among the great en-
pireS Of the ancient world? Why
should these records of things
that happened many centuries
ago, among a people who long
before the Christian era had
ceased to exist as a nation, be
of such vital moment, not only
for Jews of today who are seek
ing to regain that homeland and
again attain national life, but
also for the entire Christian
world?
I think that it is because the
records so strikingly set forth,
and illustrate by example, the
principles upon which true ma
tional life and welfare are
founded; and also, that the rec
ords emphasize the warnings of
danger when the principles of
the good life, for individuals
and nation, are disregarded or
spurned.
Away back in the history of
Israel was sounded the solemn
warning in a day of national
crisis: BE sure your sin will
find you out" Despite the ap-
peals and warnings of the
prophets, and in spite of the
glorious development of the ma
ton, attaining its climax in the
reign Of Solomon, the people
turned again and again to idol
airy, both rulers and people do
ing what was wrong in the sight
of God. Strife and division soon
succeeded to the unity estab-
lished under David, and the
glory that the kingdom attained
under Solomon.
INCIDENTALLY that glory
was attained through much APP
preston and the placing of
heavy burdens upon the people,
for Solomon was no more than
dead when the people complain
cd of these burdens, and appeal
ed 10 Rehoboam, his successor,
to tighten their burdens. The
result is we'll known. Rehoboam
was one of the many fools of
history who have managed to
sit on thrones. He would show
them-and 10 tribes revolted,
under Jeroboam, himself ras-
cal, to set up their own king
dom.
Tragedy followed division;
but it took about four centuries
for the mills of God to grind out
the tragedy of the nation that
couldn't stay united, and
couldn't stay devoted to right
eousness, and justice, and the
common good.
Four centuries for downfall!
And our American life, four GEN.
turtles old, displaying already so
many of the symptoms of the
evil and social weaknesses that
brought about the downfall of
Israel as a nation. We, on this
American continent, in nations
that are young have every rea-
son to study, and study careful
ly, the history of Israel-for in
struction and guidance, and for
,.,o rv,;,,o

fnlLhDELf>Il A-A SHdtteT-
ing of financial and member
ship records during the past
year in the Presbyterian Church
in the United States Of America
was announced today by the Of
flee of the General Assembly.
The largest total church men,
bership ever recorded in Pres
byterian history and the largest
net gain in twenty-four years
were reported; the greatest
amount of money contributed
during one year in the past fiji
teen years; the largest totals of
additions to Church membership
on confession of faith. and also
Of additions by certificate of
transfer, in the past five years;
the largest per capita giving by
the Church members in fourteen
years; and the largest number of
candidates for the ministry in
ten years.
The figures for the year ended
March 81, 1945. They were
compiled by the Rev. DR.. Will
liam Barrow Pugh, the Stated
Clerk of the Church's General
Assembly. DR.. Pugh is now on
a visit to the nations chaplains
in the Pacific as a representative
Of the General Commission on
Army and Navy Chaplains.
DR.. Pugh's office said today
that the communicate member
ship of the Presbyterian Church
is now 2,161,872. Last years
total was 2,098,091. This total
membership is the largest re-
corded during the 239 years of
organized Presbyterian m in
America.
The years net gain in MEM
bership, which is 63,78l, repre-
sents a greater gain than had
been reported in any year since
1921.
CONTRIBUTIONS GAIN
"A record of fifteen years,
standing in Presbyterian giving
was broken this year also. The
1904 local churches contributed
$50, 669,0l5, figure unequaled
since 1880. 1t is 1854 $3.50 great
er than the $53,014,026 contri-
buted last year.
Per capita the Presbyterians
gave $28.32 during the year, the
largest per capita since 1881.
Last years figure was $3.50.
The per capita is that of the
entire Church except six presby-
teries that are in foreign mis-
sionary countries.
An increase from 93,560 to
104,170 was recorded in the
number of Church members re-
ceived during the year on con-
fession of their Christian faith.
This 104,170 figure is greater
than any other years since 1910.
A second five-year record was
broken in the number Of mem
bers received by the churches on
certificates of transfer from 9TH
er churches. The figure for the
year is 81 ,244, total not before
reached since 1910. Last years
receptions by certificates of
transfer numbered Sc, 1859.
Young men who are under the
official care of the Church as
candidates for the ordained min
istry now number 1904. This
total has not been equaled since
1885.
EXPLAIN MEMBERSHIP

Presbyterian Church, according
