deals with the Roman Catholic
as the largest and next after the
Methodist Episcopal Church. The
Boston Tiru! script says: "The
year has not been especially not
able for controversies over doc
trine, or mai-ked by gains in ad
herents. History has been made
notable in t he domains of eclesi
asfcieal activity, in the alterations
' of relations of church and state,
and in adjustment of policy or
internal administration to new
social conditions." There is a
drawing together of all Chris
tians of all names toward frank
mutual recognition of the legiti
macy of all the great types of
eburch government, Episcopal,
Presbyterian and Independent or
Congregational. The year has
been notable for more movements
for christian union between the
sharply differentiated christian
eommunions and between the
. seets of each group."
