Fourteen Denominations Increase One-Fourth Within the Decade Definite evidence that the churches in America are making a steady and strong growth has been gathered by the laymen's missionary movement for pre sentation to its meetings. An elaborate table of figures shows that the member ship of 14 denominations increased more than 25 per cent within a decade and that the gifts of the chinches grew twice as fast. The year to year figures of church iiroL'ress. especially when presented in v -v ""'J ""u'- "1' "estimates'' that they arc frequently challenged, and certainly cannot be accepted as a basis for absolute de ductions. The gathering of statistics is slow and the movement or church life also is gradual, and it is too general to be accurately summarized for any brief period. So the careful compilation put out by the laymen's movement, showing the actual progress of 14 leading denominations in the decade from 11104 to 1H14, is more useful than partial later returns could be. The progress made since 1104 has apparently been even greater than in tho preceding years. So that tin church really has reason for optim ism, if the statistical tables may be accepted as a safe index. The de nominations included in the survey are as follows: Baptist, northern convention: Bap tist, southern convention; Congrega tional; Disciples of Christ; Lutheran 7.' Synods; Methodist Episcopal; Methodist Kpiscopnl, south; Presby terian in the V. S. A. (northern); I'nited Presbyterian; Protestant Kpis copnl; lieformed in America; Reformed in I'nited States and United Breth ren. These represent a total communicant membership of 10,402,102, and 12.H,244 separate cngregutions. A 25 Per Cent Growth. In any study of church progress, the natural first question concerns the growth of membership. If the church is not increasing in members, no other figures enn be accepted as of any great importance. The 14 denominations named in creased in this given decade is : 333.M1I4 new members or a fraction over 25 per cent. The proportion of progress in the creation of new con gregations was not so great, showing that there has been n let mi in the ; era of church building and pioneer home mission work, owing to the more -settled conditions of America. The increase in the numbers of con l grejrations is given as lil.3 per cent, i Because the laymen's movement ! s' i sscs the financial aspect of churcli work, it has figured out the proportionate increase in gifts. Thus, in 1H14 these 14 denominations gave the 'local church expenses, including i salaries and building operations, re j pairs, etc.. ifl37.OMI.X4n, or an in crease of 30.7 per cenr. For nil forms of benevolent, eiluciit ionnl and mis sionary work in the I'nited States tin' in-responding ;,giftsj were .f2L,lo:i,-. : , High School Notes i i An instructive lecture was delivered in the assembly hall Wednesday morn ing by the Rev. William Day Sinionds Wednesday morning, speaking on " Booker T. Wjiliinton and His Rise Prom Slavery.'' Hi' also gave some general instructions of wh.it is neces sary for ooe to become a writer, or speaker, emphasizing simplicity. " I'se your hand and head and heart in doing those things which are nearest to you and do them exceedingly well and by do doing, success will be us sure, I,'' he said. The senior gills lire now disturbed since the senior boys iuve become so democratic in drcsB as to wear limine! shirts and corduroy trousers and nre discussing the question of dress and what would be appropriate for them to wear, corresponding to the everyday attire of the boys. To decide upon a proper garment, a committee his been appointed, consisting of Mareelln llyn oii, Ethel McCilchrist and Evelyn 'lie Long. The rules as drnwr. up by the Boys' and Girls' ' lean l'p committee und as accepted bp the student body council nre as follows: "All offenses are divided into two classes, tcmporny and permanent de facements. All students are to take part in preventing and in correefng temporary offenses. Temporary of-fen-.es are those, which re,tiire little time or effort to correct, such as throw ing paper on the floor and general un cleanliness. ' ' Peniiiineiit offenses are those that re ipiire consider ible time or effort or ex pense to correct, such us marking of wood work, or the destnn'tion of prop erty. If a student's attention is called to the fa.-t that h" has committed a tem porary offense, he sluill at once correct the mine and it is the duty of any stu dent to tell another that one ills been committed. A repriiunnd from the com mittee follows if the student docs not 'oni, ly with instructions and remedy it. If n permanent offense has been com mitted, the student must remedy the same under the observance of the com ittee. Demerits will figure in deciding the inter-class contest. Should any stu dent refuse to abide by the decision of the committee, he shall be sent be I'oie tiie school hnnnl. All punishments, except reprimands, shall be in secret. Notices nie to be sent offenders ill seiled envelopes. At the junior cliis debate try-out the following men, he is were chosen to rep resent the class of '17: Ifufus Boat which Hirold Aspinwnll, Paul Pence an. I llarliiml H. Hoffman. No longer are junior high school "let tcis" being worn by class members who came to the high school in Feb ruary, as it is no unwritten school 1 iw that no letter uiill be worn except the ot'licial "letter'' given us :,u award of merit by that school. The following members have been chosen by Victor R. Taylor, editor in chief of the senior annual: Assistant editor, Beatrice Wilton; assistant edit or, Vivian Beck; manager, Roy Tod hunter; nssituut loannge,-, Harry Hampton, "SO, which represents an in reaso i 02.H per cent. Noteworthy as this advance in b -nevolent giving, it is lesi. icniarkab' than the fact that in the same year 1 1.035,."i 17 were given for all brancln i of foreign missionary work, or an in crease of S7.5 per cent With its famous zest fur figurir ; things out to decimals, the laymen '-i missionary movement has worked theso tables out into the proportion of giving by the nveinge member every weeh, which shows that Pi cents is the nvei nge contribution per member to local church expenses, and this is an increase of 11 per cent during the decade. IV all kinds of missionary nud benevol ent work. .Mr. Average "Church Membe gives 3.7 per cent. Only those who have occasion to keep tab upon church affairs know how ui ficult it is to gather reliable statist' and they best understand tho value i f tho compilation made by the laymen h movement. Some Growing Coininuntons. The most surprising advances in church membership ilnring the de cade were achieved by the Souther, i Baptists mid Northern Methodists., In 1004 there were 1.s;l2,ti3S members of the Southern Baptist convention reported. Ten years later this hud in creased to 2,5(jS.ti3S. In the sanni time the Northern Baptist convention had in mlo substantial progress from 1,121,474 to 1,330,051. The .Methodist Episcopal church, which is the largest in the count r, grew from 2,S.-)3,3U5 to 3,510,102. Th Methodist Episcopal church, south, which is somewhat smaller, grew Iv nearly u half million members; to rv exact from 1,5!I3,N3(S by 2,045,047. In the half million class is I ho Northern Presbyterian church, which increased its membership from 1, 070,!3i) to 1,478,003. The Souther-, Presbyterian church added almost a, hundred thousand members in the decade, or from 240,709 to 332,339. Moro than one hundred thousand new members were taken in during the decade by the Lutheran C.eneini Council, which jumped' from 3X0,13.. to 504,423. In the snine period tl, Lutheran Uenernl S and added 20.000 to its membership in 1!il4 or 2IX. 51 Mi. The Congregationnlists lacked to, thousiiiid of increasing by one hun dred thousand, their membership io HI 14 being 703. 1S2. The Protestant Episcopal churcli climbed up from XO4.30S members I" n point just n little this side of th" million mark and which lias sine: been passed. The figuies in 1014 wei 0S0.(iii7. The pocket book nerve has often been called the most sensitive in im organization, and by this token tliel a general increase in the bcnevolen' expenses at home and abroad by n fraction of about "0 per cent, and th" membership increasing by one-fourth, it w ould seem that the elinvi lies li :i iifl reason to feel pessimistic. ' THOUSAND MOLES ON FARM OF ONE ACRE Fairinount, W. Vn., Feb. 20. Cultivating the fur bearing mole is highly profitable accord ing to George Pry or, who has established a mole farm near White Rock, upon which he now has nearly l.lloO of the little diggers. Each pe.lt is worth ten cents and as it costs noth ing to raise tho animals, Pryor is making a good margin of profit. His farm consists of ulioiit one in re of ground.
