sILLsoARDs FOR RELIGION.
Churches OF Colorado Are Adver-
Using EIaborately.

Churches OF COlOradO Are A0Vefs
Using Elaborately.
The use of the bill board, the poster
and the placard to advertise religious SER
vices is coming into favor in Denver. 1t
was begun by Rev. Christian f. Reisner,
pastor of Grace Methodist Episcopal
church, and if the present rivalry among
congregations in the matter of the con-
spiruous display of their advertisements
is not soon abated theater managers, who
in the past enjoyed a practical monopoly
of the bill board privileges, may be called
on to pay an advance in the price of
space on the boards. Not only are the
churches doing more advertising than ever
before, but there is keen rivalry in the
wording of the advertisements.
This activity dates from last spring,
when Rev. Billy Sunday, the ex-ball play
er evangelist, held meetings in the Colo
RADIO gold camps. He caused all the coun-
ty seat towns in the neighborhood Of the
places where he conducted revivals to be
placarded, and families drove for miles
and Travelled across the mountains to hear
his sermons.
Sunday introduced what to Colorado
was an innovation, in the form of stick
ers," bearing the legend, Get Right With
God" These were pasted on sidewalks.
on lamp posts, on the winoows of street
cars-in every place where they would
attract attention. One religious cam
paigner slipped into fashionable hotel
at Colorado Springs one night and pasted
a ''sticker" on the bands of all the hats
he could find while the owners were at
dinner.
The Denver Young Mems Christian
Association has adopted modern methods
in raising money for a new building. 1t
has set out to collect 100000 in one

large storeroom on a prominent down
town corner and there has established
headquarters, much after the manner of
a political campaign headquarters.
chairman receives reports hourly from his
lieutenants, who have certain districts in
charge, like precinct captains. New sub
scriptions are indicated on a large clock
dial placed high outside the building in
plain view from two streets.
The spirit of rivalry has spread to the
Sunday schools, and school cries have
been adopted by the children. When par
ties of pupils from different Sunday
schools meet they give voice to their
cheers with all the enthusiasm of students
of rival colleges.

BANKS OF CANADA GAIN; PEG.
PIES SAVINGS BIG.

Record of Financial Institutions for
the Year 1908 Shows Remarkable
Prosperity All Over the Dominion.
Ottawa, Ontario, March 1.-The year
which has just closed has been one
most satisfactory and progressive with
the financial institutions of Canada,
and the business Of the chartered banks
reflects the unprecedented prosperity
enjoyed throughout the country during
the year 1905.
The increased demands made upon
the banks Of the Dominion by the COM
mercial and agricultural expansion of
the year were provided for without the
monetary disturbances sometimes noted
in the United States. Whatever opin-
ions may be held as to the composition
of the Canadian banking system, it is
claimed that its flexible currency has
many commendable features, and with
out which the last few months of the
year must have produced money
stringency with probably disastrous re-
credit in the Dominion is needed, and
consequently the capital Of many exist
ing banking institutions has been in
creased and several new banks are in
process Of organization.
The chartered banks of Canada to-
day enjoy the confidence Of the general
public to a greater extent than ever be-
fore. The total deposits Of the people
In these institutions last year were
$522,317, 900, which shows an increase
of over $5e,OOO,O0O for the year. In
actual money in bank probably no otn-
er country in the world, comparatively
speaking, can make a better showing
than Canada
The total deposits of the Canadian
people in the government savings
banks, in special savings institutions,
and in the chartered banks alone
amounted last year to the enormous
sum of 5000 $4,000. This represents
an average credit balance Of over 500
per head of the population of the Do
minion, and it is stated that the only
other country in the world that ap-
proaches this record is Denmark, where
the average credit balance is about
5000 per capita. The above figures,
however, do not comprehend moneys
deposited with private bankers, loan
companies, mortgage corporations and
trust companies, or what is boarded up
In secret hiding places.
The annual report of the Dominion
finance department, just issued to the
public, shows a surplus in the Domin-
ion treasury for the fiscal year of ST.
$4,000, and refers to the remarkable
increase in the public revenues during
the year.

father is a carpenter and the boy had

Marriage as an Institution.

The historical facts concerning mar
riageas an institution are probably only
vaguely known to the majority Of peo-
pie, most Of whom would doubtless be
surprised to learn that the institution,
as we know it to-day, is less than 500
wears old. Histories OF the marriage
ceremony show that it was not solem-
nized in church as a religious rite until
the time of Pope Innocent Ill, A. u.
1893. and was not considered q sacra-
ment until 1443.

LOCK CANAL NOW CERTAIN.
This Is the Definite Conclusion of
the Government.

That the Panama canal, when complet-
ed, will have summit level of 50 feet
above the sea, to be reached by locks, a
work estimated to cost $139, 100 200, and
to be completed in eight and one-halt
years, is the definite conclusion of the
executive branch of the government, as
shown in President Roosevelt's letter,
transmitting to Congress, Monday, the re-
port of the canal commission, and a let
ter from Chief Engineer Stevens. AL
though the lock canal is favored by only
minority of the board of consulting en-
gineers, whose report is also transmitted,
the canal commission, with the exception
of Admiral Endicott, indorses the mi
nority's plan, and this is approved by
Chief Engineer Stevens, who says it will
take twenty years to dig a sea-level canal,
and that it will cost $25,O00,00O more
than the majority estimates. The Presi-
dent concurs in Secretary Taft's recon-
mendation for the lock canal. He calls
attention to the fact that the American
engineers on the consulting board, by
more than two to one, favor this plan,
whereas, the foreign engineers are a unit
against it. He thinks this is partly ex-
planned by the fact that the Suez canal
is a sea-level canal. He mentions that,
although the Sault Ste. Marie canal, a
lock canal, is closed during the winter
months, it carries annually three times
the traffic of the Suez. The majority of
the consulting engineers found that a
sea-level canal would cost $247 ,021 900.
approximately, but held that the cost of
operating and maintaining it would be
very much less than the lock canal. 1t
is admitted that it would require more
dredging, and that one lock would have
to be maintained. The question is now
up to Congress.

Court of Missouri it was held that Off
GERS of foreign corporations doing bust

ord. Inasmuch as Judge Gildersleeve of

as to the refusal of II. II. Rogers and

Rogers and his allies will have to an

decision goes even further by declaring
that officers of foreign corporation must

court in any prosecution that may arise.

GREAT
THRONGS
A Salem Christian Scientist
Returns From Boston
Gathering

Mrs. J. Q. Wilson was the first OF
the Salem party of Christian Scientist:
who attended the dedication of their
new church at Boston to return, and
relates to reporter some very inter
esting points concerning the event.
Over 10000 Christian Scientists from
all parts of the world were in Boston
to attend this dedication, and it was
probably the greatest religious gath
ering since the time of the c-usades.
The new building cost in the neighbor-
hood of two million dollars, and this
sum was raised by voluntary contri-
buttons among their own members, as
is the rule with this denomination, and
the bills were all paid before the struc-
ture was dedicated. 1t has a seating
capacity of over 5000, and was filed
to overfowing at the six separate SER
vices on the day of dedication. Many
formed in line before daylight, to at.
tend the O'Clock morning service, and
thousands were standing in the sun all
day, from morning until night, await
ing their turn to attend some one of
the successive services.
The church itself is pronounced to
be the finest in the world, notwith-
standing it is not the most expensive.
Many of the old artists from Europe.
who were brought to Boston to do the
decorative work, proclaim it as such,
and they declared this gathering to be
the greatest event of it's kind in his
tory.
The city of Boston provided 40 spe-
cial policemen for the occasion, to
handle the crowds, but all except two
Of these were discharged, and the po-
lice commissioners declared it to have
been the most orderly throng that ever
entered their city. Over 600 clerks
were employed az, the building taking
care Of the guests, as facilities of all
kinds were provided in the building
fo7 their comfort. Telegraph Offices
railroad offices, large postofice and
bureau, and all other man
ner of conveniences were provided in
the place, and every visitor was sup
piled with information concerning all
matters connected with the service,
and with the city generally.
On the Wednesday following, the
customary experience meeting' was
held at the mammoth new cathedral,
but it was certain that this could not
accommodate more than a small por-
tion of the assembled visitors, and
overflow meetings were provided in
twelve other large public buildings, in
cluding Mechanics Pavilion, fremont
Temple, Old South church. All of these
were more than filed, and people
turned away.
Mrs. Wilson says the whole affair
was continuous inspiration, and that
no one who made the trip would have
missed it under any circumstances
