CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
GAINS.

From the Vermont Missionary, the
official organ of Congregationalism in
Vermont, is CLEANED the cheerful in
formation that the past year has
proved an exception to the rule OF the
preceding few years, and in nearly every
department of the work statistics show
that a forward movement lis under
way for the present at least. The
tide of membership which began to
ebb four years ago has turned again
and this year showed gain of l03
church members, making present
total of 2l, 775. The additions during
the year were 651 by confession and
425 by letter, and the removals, $40 by
death, 434 by letter and l05 by disci-
pline and roll revision. There is a
discrepancy in these figures and this
is explained by recount in one of the
larger churches by which it was found
that its membership was not so large
by sixty-two as was reported at first,
which goes to show that Iecounts arr
sometimes of value in the church al
well as the political world.
An increase in Sunday school mem
bership is again reported after year,
of continued losses. The presen
number recorded in this department
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1903-04-09

is 10, al, an increase of 619 over the
preceding year. This gain is more
apparent than real, however, and is &C
counted for by the fact that the home
department. is included in the statist-
les for the first time in this report.
The success that has attended other
branches of church work ..,does not
reach to the young peoples societies
however, and here it is necessary to
record decrease in membership from
6, 1893 to 6, III, and this not withstand
ing the fact that four new societies
were formed.
In the matter of expenditures the
church has gained 50, 282 in home ex-
penditures making a total of $217, GAG
for the year, but the missionary spirit
seems to be on the wane for the col
lections in this department fell off
81, 267, leaving a total of SAG, 624.
There are now thirtyfour churches
on record as vacant. The denomiona-
ton is to be congratulated on this
turning of the tide, after several years
in which there was little in the situa-
ton calculated to give encouragement.
The cause for this upward trend in
the church's activity is not stated but
it is significant that with increased
expenditures in the work at home
there follows an awakening, so far as
figures go, in the den nomination in the
State at large.

IT'S but a year since you went from
us-a short twelve-month-but yet
how long it seems. The birds have
sung their carols to the spring, and
winters winds are chanting summers
requiem. The roses have bloomed
and withered and the leaves are scar
and yellow. But in the heart of her
who loves you. the seasons have
wrought no changes. In memory's
vineyard there are tender thoughts
that have affections fondest care; nor
life nor death can e'er uproot them
from their clinging soil. My heart
is such a vineyard and the dearest
memories nurtured there are thoughts
of you.
A love that lives beyond the grave;
Beyond this fieeting life,
Abides always with her who gave
Herself to be your wife.
