Not only has the year just past been
prosperous one in material way for
the churches of Salt Lake, but in a
spiritual way as we'll During 1898. ac-
cording to reports received, wherever
any fractional difference existed in a
congregation II was quickly settled and
in every case the entire membership
reunited in organized advancement of
a common cause. AS a result, the
churches as a whole have enjoyed an
era OF prosperity heretofore unknown.
al of them gaining in membership and
being strengthened in a financial way.
Such has been the prosperity of the
Catholics of st. Mary's parish, under
Rt. Rev. Bishop Scanlan's able guild
ance, that their present edi6ce of wor-
ship is inadequate to the wants of the
parish. and during the summer it was
decided to erect handsome new ca
thedral. The building Will be of stone
and will cost, UNFINISHED, not less than
100000. Work on the foundation has
already been commenced and the work
viii be pushed as rapidly as possible.
When completed the cathedral viii add
another to Salt Lakes handsome edi-
fees. AS an evidence of the prosperity
manifest in church circles during the
year is the fact that nearly the entire
amount needed to build the new ca
thedral has already been raised, five
individual members of the parish do
mating $4,000 each, while many others
subscribed sums ranging from s10o to
$500.
The Westminster Presbyterian con-
gregation is also planning to build a
new church, so that there is every
prospect of Salt Lake having two new
houses of worship before the end of the
present year.
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints.
Probably the most noticeable ad-
vancement made in church work during
the year is that of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. The year
has been especially prosperous for the
branch of the church known as the
Salt Lake stake. This stake embraces
not only the whole of this city, but the
rest of Salt Lake county as well. It
is subdivided into fifty wards. twenty
sew of which are within the limits
of salt Lake City. In the city nine
blocks usually constitute a ward, al
though a number, located in the sub
urbs. are larger. In addition TO the

Work was also started on the new
St. Mary's cathedral, but such diff
culties were encountered in eXcavating
as TO make progress very slow. 1t is
expected the building will be in shape
TO be covered in by the close of the
present year and will be completely
finished by the middle of 1901. When
completed the building alone will cost
100000, while it will take large addi-
tional sum to furnish the interior
When finished the present cathedral
will be used as a hall for society and

Hebrew.
For several years past the Jewish
residents of Salt Lake have been at a
great disadvantage in being without a
regular rabbi AS a result the Bnai
Israel congregation dragged along,
maintaining life only through the ef-
forts of a few faithful ones who i'm
pfcitly believed better days would
come, in a religious sense. They were
not disappointed. Some months ago
another effort toward spiritual progress
sion was made. Rabbi Gustav H Loew-
enstein was permanently engaged to
minister to the congregation. Since
that time great things have been ac-
complished under his able leadership.
The members have been brought to
work together as a compact body for
| the good of the church. A steady adj
vancement has resulted, the member
ship being increased TO eighty five, a
gain of about twenty-five, while an
increased spiritual interest is also
manifest. The synagogue has been i'm
proved and Sabbath school organized.

of fifty. The finances have been great
ly strengthened, the members being
quite liberal. in their subscriptions. All
of this has been accomplished within
a few months. and the congregation as
a whole believe that the year 1900 will
bring much more prolific results to
their church.

The work of the Episcopal church in

have met with much success during the
past seven months. Recently they COM
pleted a small infirmary where Indian
children who have beer taken ill will
be looked after and cared for. 1t is
thought that this work will touch the
sensibilities of the older Indians.
Congregational.
The able efforts Of the Rev. Clarence
T. Brown. during the past year have
increased the membership of the First
Congregational church until at the
present time the congregation is in
keeping with what that of large hand
Sonae church should be. The present
membership exceeds 400, a gain of about
20 per cent during the past year, while
the average attendance at the Sunday
school was 290. The regular church
work and benevolence was carried on
in a more extensive way than ever, the
increased financial support of the con-
gregation justifying such action.

ing feature of the services, is under the
direction of Mrs. Percy B. Cox. The

In the four hospitals at present es-
tablished in Salt Lake accommodation
has been provided for ga patients. The
cost of the buildings and appliances
exclusive of the grounds, reaches the
total of 1915. 900, and with the value of
the grounds reaches the grand total
of 1925, 600. This sum is divided as fol-
lows: St. Marks. building and appIi-
ances, $50, 600; Holy Cross. building and
appliances, $4,000; Keogh- Hosmer
$4,000; DR.. Lewis (private), $4,000.
The block occupied by the Holy Cross
hospital makes up most of the amount
placed to grounds. outside of buildings,
and $4,000 is a very conservative esti-
mate.

treated at these four hospitals 2,150 pa

Baptist.
Much activity has been manifest at
the First Baptist church. the Rev. H
B. Steelman, pastor, during the past
year and the work has been carried for
ward with a will. Some fifty new men,
bers have been gained, bringing the
total up TO 135 at the present time. The
Sunday school has an enrolment of 200
with an average attendance nearly as
great. The two missions of the church,
the Rio Grande and the Burlington.
have also taken on new life. the Sun
day schools especially proving fruitful
in results. Besides carrying on the
usual benevolent work the church paid
off lebt of $500 on the Burlington
chapel.
Under the guidance or the REV. L. L.
Crandall the membership of the East
Side Baptist church has passed the 100
mark. while the Sunday school has an
enrolment even larger. The young
people are doing aggressive work and
are ably assisting their pastor in ad-
vancing their cause.

made and liberal benevolent contribu-
lions given.
The Tiff NJ. z. church enters the pres
ent year strengthened in every depart
ment. all branches having made great
strides during the year 1899. Especial
ly is this true of that part of the year
since the Rev. Joel A. Smith accepted
the pastorate. The new pastor came
here from Evanston, Wyo.. and at once
took hold of the church work with an
earnestness and vigor that was at once
refreshing and enervating to the con-
gregation- The membership aggregates

nearly 800, the Sunday school has an
enrolment of about $780, while the Ep-
worth league has fully kept apace with
the other branches, and is doing much
effective work
At the Second NJ E. church, the Rev.
Joseph Wicks and his band of earnest
workers are winning victories all along
the line at their Waterloo church, and
are steadily increasing the membership
and the enrolment of the Sunday
school, They have also met with con-
siderable success at the Denitentlary
during the past year, where they nave
been assisting in the religious services.
The idea of the Rev. E. c. Hunt OF
the Heath NJ f. church, TO interest
the child mind in Christian work, IS
bearing fruit. The Sunday school has
been increased in numbers and in Quite
a few instances the influence of the
child has led the parents TO join in the
church work.
Unitarian.
There is a great probability that the
Salt Lake branch of the Unitarian so
ciety will soon be a thing of the past
Every indication seems to point to
ward dissolution. Last September the
pastor Of the society, the Rev. r. A
MAYNARD, severed his connection with
the local branch and shortly afterwaru
moved away from the city Since tnaI
time the society has been without
leader. and no meeting whatsoever
have been held. Some of the members
have affiliated with other churches OF
the city, but a number still remain
faithful to the society, and entertain
the hope that the Unitarian general
board in the east will send them new
pastor who will straighten out the ex-
listing difficulties and AGAIN pldTe ers
society among the leading religious
bodies of the city. However, the gen
eral board has not shown any sign Oh
action as yet. and probably viii not

various official bodies, who look after
the general welfare of the different
branches of the stake interests and
who are under the direction of Stake
President Angus VI. Cannon, each ward
is provided with a meeting house,
where the members of the ward, each
Sunday, hold Sunday school in the
morning and attend preaching in the
evening. In the county wards these two
services usually constitute the Sabbath
devotion. In this city an additional
service IS held at the Tabernacle. This
building, the only one of its kind in
the world. having a seating capacity
for 15,600 persons and not single col
umn to support the roof, is situated in
Temple square, just west of the Tenn
pie. These afternoon services are usu-
ally presided over by the very highest
dignitaries of the church, and the men,
berS come from all over the city and
from quite a number of the country
wards to listen TO the discourses, there
being always from 5000 to $4,000 per-
sons in attendance.
AT the present time the membership
of the church in the Salt Lake stake
aggregates 10000. This is a net gain
of several hundred over the member
ship of 1898 and q gross gain of much
more, as a good many members died.
The greatest increases in membership
were made IN the Sandy ana South
Cottonwood wards. nearly all being
new accessiOnS TO the church.
Two new wards were organized dur
ing 1899, one at Bingham and the other
the Twenty-fOurth ward of this city.

about $50, 600.

are prospecting. During the past year
he established a new church at Mann
moth, where chapel and parsonage
were built and the Rev. FeStuS Foster
installed as pastor.
Handicapped by the loss of some of
the best workers of the Phillips Congre-
gational church prior to his assuming
the pastorate. the Rev. George Lindsay
has accomplished much during the
past year. New life has been infused
into the old members and many new
members added, while the Sunday
school has grown so much that the
pastor is hopeful of even better results
in 1900.
The confidence displayed by the little
band of jealous workers in the Ply
mouth church in calling the Rev. j.
Newton Brown to assume the pastorate
was not misplaced. Good results were
accomplished during the year such as
to cause the workers to hope for much
during the twelve months to come.

erected by the congregation of the
Church of Christ Scientists was ampli-
fled during the past year. The interest
