came tns occasson Of good TO the cnurc
IN that IL led 10 a more thorough ur
derstanding Of its doctrines, cultus an,
mission, and at the same time 8
aroused IL from its slumbcrs an,
lethargy rs to prepare the way for tn
wonderful change that has since talSei
place In every department Of Christiai
work. In consequence Of this there |
reason TO believe that no denomination
has exhibited greater signs of growtl
and of intellectual and theologica
activity than we have. Our minister
and people have been led TO take
deeper interest In all the great ques
tions of the day and are now standing
shoulder TO shoulder with the sacra,
mental host Of Gods elect In Fastening
the conquest Of the world for Christ
And while there Is still some diversity
of views among us as to the greai
questions discussed, there is such har
mony and good feeling that no serious
fears are entertained for the future
As TO the use of the liturgy, the general
feeling Is opposed to q ritualistic serv
ice, while liturgy for special forms
and occasions is generally used.
There has been with US, as with the
other denominations Of the land, q great
revival of the missionary spirit as il re-
spects both foreign and domestic mis-
sions. The rapid increase of our popula-
tion both in the cities and rural districts
has been so great as 10 create the ne
cessity for the establishment OF mis-
sions both east and west, with the pre-
ponderance at first in the west, where
the demand seemed the greatest in con.
sequence of the rapid emigration IN
that direction in the settlement Of the
states and territories. Of late years,
however, the demand for missionary
work has been almost as great in the
east as in the west The growth OF
many Of our cities both east and west
which have become the great centers OF
our population, and also of corruption
and wickedness, have claimed special
attention, so that we have prosperous
missions in Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Cumberland, Pittsburgh,
Cleveland, Akron, Columbus, Chicago
Sioux City, st. Joseph, Wichita, Kansas
City and other places Of equal interest
Our church has for the last fifteen
years been specially interested in the
work of foreign missions, making
Japan, to which the Christian world is
looking with great interest in the hope
of it's speedy conversion to Christ, the
center of its operations. We have now

four male and three female missionaries,
with a number of helpers, raised up in
the schools established there and from
among the converts, numbering nearly
two thousand, a band Of workers from
who m we may expect blessed results In
the near future.
Looking, therefore, as we now do,
over the results of our efforts for one
hundred years in planting and extend
ing the church of Christ in THIS new
world of ours along by the side Of our
sister church, we feel that it is emf
nently fitting that we should pause and
think as we pass out of the first into
the second century of our independent

to Almighty God for the great success
that has attended our labors in the past
and for the bright prospect that opens

We can, as we have in what we have
here written, do nothing more than give
a mere outline of the wor k done in the
century that has passed, during which
three generations have come and gone,
including hundreds of ministers and
laymen, who have given up their lives
TO the cause of Christ and done, each in
his sphere, a noble work, for which they
will ever be held in grateful remern-
brance. 1t is, indeed, pleasant to call

Reformed church during the century

CONDITION OF r TRADE. l.

II. q. Dun q Co.'S Weekly Business Bulletin
No Visible Improvement and Little Hope
for Relief Until Congress Acts on the
Tariff Hiil.
NEW YoRK, Dec Or. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: Trade
of all kinds is waiting. There is no
visible Improvement and on the whole
the indications are a little less salts
factory than they were week ago.
The volume of business measured by
clearing house returns outside New
York show q decrease of only IL per
cent. compared with last year, which
is encouraging, but as the statement
covers the payments for the first of the
month, 1t may not correctly measure
the volume of new transactions. The
reports from the other cities show a
hesitating trade almost everywhere,
with disposition to wait until con-
gress has acted on the tariff question.
Hence the delay and uncertainty are
likely to last for some weeks.
The speculative markets have not
moved much, In railroad stocks there
has been slight decline Of so cents
per share, and in other stocks nearly
as much without much excitement in
either market.
Railroad earnings are fairly encour-
ing for they show decline OF only 4
per cent. compared with last year and
in freight earnings the decrease is only
per cent
Wheat has risen shade, the western
receipts were only 3,577,2Sl bushels,
against 1904, 1s0 for the same week last
year, while the exports from Atlantic
ports were only 497, 4s4 bushels, against
1921, 400 for the same week last year.
The receipts of corn were unusually
large, amounting to S,227771 bushels,
against Q, 766, ,760 for the same week last
year, and the exports were $50, ,0O6
bushels, against 627, 500 last year. The
movement Of cotton was not encourag-
ing to holders and appearances indicate
larger supply on plantations than had
been expected.
In the iron trade and steel manufac-
ture there are symptoms of'improve-
ment The eastern markets are wait
ing and while one company has gone
into the market as speculative buyer,
taking about $4,000 tons, it is said, and
there have been large purchases OF
pipe iron also, the general tone of the
market is not improved. There is a
feeling that the new steel rail combin-
alton will result in decided decrease
in the demand for rails and also for pig
iron. At Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
no improvement in price is seen.

liver any Of them registered letters or
money orders. He was also directed to
secure evidence against any Of the
companies operating here or anywhere
else IN the west and prosecute them
under the law and forbidding the use
of the mails for swindling purposes.
Inspector Stuart has been instructed
that any change in the plan Of opera
tion by these companies Is not to be
allowed to change their status before
