ACCOUNTING FOR LOSSES.


According to the statistics OF the
churches of the United States for 1902,
gathered by Or II. X. Carol. the
Catholics number about ten millions
with 1000 churches aud nearly $4,000
clergymen. This Is the largest relig'
ious body in the country. The Method
lists come next with a little over six
million communicates, so that the
Catholics are far ahead Of the largest
Protestant sect. In fact, they consu-
tute more than onc-thlrd OF all the
church people Of the land. And the
number is constantly growing, through
immigration and other means.
1t Is therefore little unexpected to
hear that Catholics are not entirely
satisfied with the result of their pro-
paganda In this country A writer In
the Germania, quoted In the Literary
Digest, turns in dismay from the hgures
given and exclaims that they ought
to be double what they are. Within
the last century, he says, eight million
Roman Catholics have emigrated to
America, and their descendants must
number twenty-four millions. Accord
ing to his idea. then, the Catholic
church instead of holding its own, has
actually lost say fourteen million people
who ought to have belonged 20 II by
this time, That is startling view no
wonder II has attracted much attention,
since II appeared in an influential
Catholic journal
The author Of the article in the Ger
mania accounts for this loss. partly
on the ground that the Catholics are not
accorded their rights IN this country,
equal with Protestants. This win, no
doubt, be news to many American
readers. The author says

SAYINGS OF JESUS.

Some time ago arch@ooglsts discoy-
cred In Egypt some papyri, thought to
contain sayings OF Jesus" The ac-
count said that, accompanied by Dr.
Hunt, DR.. Grenfcl found a rich Ptol-
emalc metropolis dit I'll Ribah, The bulk
OF the documents from the one mound
consisted OF q collection of sayings OF
Jesus. They are all introduced with
the words Jesus saith and for the
most part are new. The ends Of the
lines, unfortunately, are often oblter-
ated Apparently all the sayings were
addressed to st. Thomas.
The discovery is causing some stir
In the theological world, which is quite
natural. For discoveries Of that kind
have an obvious bearing on the ques-
ton of the sacred canon. If any rec
ords are discovered, containing the say
ings of Jesus, and this can be proved,
they must be added TO the Scriptures.
For what the Lord has sid is certainly
Scripture. But what does then become
Of the old contention that the Scriptures
are completed. and thar nothing can
be added to the sacred volumeP Here
is dilemma Either the so-called
Christian world must agree to add
something to the Scriptures, or 1t must
reject the Sayings OF Jesus" Either
alternative Is fatal to the position of
Pedestrians on the question of the
Scriptures. There Is, in fact, no other
logical position than this, that It is
our duty to accept not only what has
been divlnely revealed in the past, but
also that which may be revealed in the
future

The Living Church.

In the meantime, the present tram
elton stage OF the Christian world
gives us many indications Of the GER
tainty Of future disturbance of forces.
Not the least of these indications Is the
rise OF Christian Science. This cult has
ayowedly abandoned the foundation OF
negation upon which the Protestant
sects are reared 1t does not profess to
be Protestant II bears no different
relation to Roman Catholicism than
that II bears to Presbyterianism or
Jnitarianism or Mohammedanlsm. 1t
is wholly positive. II wastes no time
or breath I'm denouncing other religious
systems. Consider the result OF this
new force infused into the Protestant
world--for IN the Protestant world Il
lives IN spite of its abandonment OF
Protestant principles. Christian Sci

The Journal gays OF a certain News
editorial, that 1T should he read with
the knowledge that the United States
guaranteed the unity Of Colombia by
treaty and that we have divided Co
lombia by setting UP the Republic Of
Panama"
This is a strange misstatement from
one no well versed IN things political, az
is the editor Of the Journal We are
surprised at hls reference 20 treaty
by which the United states is said TO
have guaranteed the unity of Colombia
This refers In all probability to the
treaty OF 1916, with New Granada.
And It has been pretty definitely proved
that the stlpulations OF that trea-
~ were always considered n force
with the de facto government of
the lsthmus Thus, when Panama IN
1857 seeded from New Granada, the
treaty was IN force with Panama, ana
when Panama in 1851 joined The United
states OF Colombia, the treaty went
with her.
But this is not the point. our Ogden
critic says of tho United states gov
eminent; I'VE have divided Colombo
by setting up the Republic Of Pana-
ma" There is not scintilla OF evil
dence to prove that our government
had anything to do with fomenting
the bloodless revolution that resulted
In the secession of Panama. Even
government critics have admitted this.
The complaint is, that we did not com
pei the Panamans to remain IN ery!tude,
or permit Colombia to engage IN hos
tllities on the isthnius; also, that we
were in too great hurry to recog-
nize the new republic, These
are the real charges. The state
ment that we divided Colombia
by setting up the Republic Of Panama"
Is, as far as known, absolutely un-
founded The argument based upon It
needs no consideration,
The News Is where'it always has
been on ethics II endeavors to defend
truth and justice, and right, and free
dom against an manner Of error wrong
and oppression. 1t would be the last to
side with any power on earth In II

believe in the partisan fault-hnding

down.

II we are to continue TO maintain tho
doctrine and practice Of the separation
