CHURCH RECORD FOR 1902.


The year 1909 seems to have been q |
good year for the churches. The con-
donations, benefactions and
collections for church purposes were
unusually large and there has been a
general enlargement and strengthen
ing of church work both at home and
abroad. These figures are from the
Chicago Inter Ocean: THE mainte-
nance of the thousands of churches in
the United States cost last year $3.50,
900, 600 OF this amount the Baptists
paid $14, 1873, 600, the Episcopal church
es $15, 1874, 900, the Congregationalists
$40, 276, 600. The Presbyterians Of the
North expended in the maintenance of
churches and for church activities ST.
080, 900, the Methodists, North and
South, 1924, 552, 900. All this was in adj
dition to the completion of the TWEEN
tieth century funds, aggregating in
America and England $40, 900, 600. The
American Methodists secured S21, 900, :
600 of this amount, of which SO, 600, 600
goes to pay church debts, 81, 600, 900 to
church colleges and seminaries, and
the balance to aged ministers and phil
anthropies. The Presbyterians of the
North raised $500, 600, the Canadian
Methodists 81, $50, coo, the Canadian
Presbyterians 81, 100000, the British
Wesleyans $4, 500, 900, the British Con
gregationalists So, $50, 600, and the Brit
ish Baptists 81, $780, 900. There was a
steady but not remarkable growth in
church membership during the year.
There is no change in the estimate OF
membership of the Catholic Church in
fifty dioceses. The Presbyterians of
all branches report an increase in mem
bership of $4,000, Methodists $1,000,
Baptists $4,000, Episcopalians $4,000,
Congregationalists 10000, and Disci-
pies of Christ 30. 500. Reports from the
several churches indicate that the year
1909 was not only an active one in
church work, but in the extension OF
religious influence. The year saw nc
weakening of UNCONVENTIONAL pride OF
spirit, but there was more cooperation
between the sects in philanthropic and
educational work"
This record is commended to the con
sideration of those who imagine that
church work and religious activity and
influence are on the wane.

ELEVENTH YEAR OF SUCCESS.
Americus Grocery Co. Makes an Eek
ceIIent Showing.

OF the several corporations in Ameri-
Gus few have been so successful as the
Amsrieus Grocery Company as evil
denced by the splendid financial show
ing made at the close of each OF the
eleven years of it's existence, and the
very high standard it has attained
And more evidence of this was mani
tested at The annual meeting of stock
holders yesterday.
Upon hearing the annual report OF
President Frank Lanier, the directors
declared cash dividend of ten per-
cent upon the capital stock of $50, 000
besides added to the surplus.
During the year just ended the COM
pany did a most excellent business, ex-
tending it's trade in this and adjacent
territory. Since it's organization eleven
years ago the success of this company
has been great, of which fact the stock.
holders have abundant proof.
Within the first ten years it PAID
back to the stockholders in dividends
$3.50 for each 500 investested, or one
and half times the entire amount o.
the capital stock of 100000 The divi
denl yesterday increased this profit tt
q considerable extent.
A year ago the capital stock was re
duced from 500, 600 to 500. 600, but the
business was increased rather than di
minished. With ample means at its
command the company buys in large
quantities, discounts every bill and
thus extends its large trade.
In the election of officers yesterday
Mr.. Frank Lanier was once agar
made president, Mr., Henry LAME
vice president and manager of thu
compapy's houseat Albany, and Mr.
r. L. McMath secretary and treasurer

A STORY FOR BOYS.

Often one of the best things that car
happen to young man with the right
sort of material In him is to be thrown
upon his own resources. Do noe com
plain because you have no one to lean
upon. A well known judge once gave
his son 81, 900 and told him to goto col
lege and graduate.
The son returned at the end OF the
first year, his money all gone and with
several extrayagant habits. At the
close of the vacation the judge said to
him:
well, William, are you going tc
college this year?"
ssI have no money, father"
.But I gave you thousand dollars
to graduate on. y
ssIt is all gone, father. "
very well, my son; it is all could
give you. You can't stay here. You
must now pay your own way IN the
world.
A new light broke in upon the vision
of the young man. He Accommodated
himself to the situation, again left
home, made his way through college,
graduated at the head of his class,
studied law, became governor of the
state of New York, entered the cabinet
of the president of the United States
and made record that viii not soon
die, for he was none other than vii
liam Fl. Seward.

In spite of all efforts to prevent it,
the filthy secretions and mucous mat
ter find their way into the Stomach
and are distributed by the blood to
every nook and corner of the system;
the Stomach and Kidneys, in fact
every organ and part of the body, be-
come infected with the catarrhal
poison. This disease is rarely, if ever,
even in its earliest stages, a purely local
disease or simple inflammation of the
nose and throat, and this iswhy sprays,
washes, powders and the various In
haling mixtures fail to cure. Heredity
is sometimes back of it-parents have
it and SO do their children.
