CRITICISM OF LAYMEN'S MISSION.

One of the foremost missionary leaders OF 'hs
country the Rev. DIR. Henry l.. Morehouse OF 'he
American Baptist Home Mission Society, mas Just
given public expression to sentiment Whlch otiei
home mission officials have professed 20 one an
other. but which they have feared publicly to as
sert The subject of DR.. Warehouses; statement is
the "I.aymen's Missionary Movement. and his critl-
cisTn of movement is especially directed toward
what he terms its narrow and mistaken policy OF
excluding all but foreign missions from its propa-
ganda. The movement was started year ago
TO aid foreign missions. but until recently leaders
in the churches believed that its scope would be
broadened so TO include all missions 4 recent
meeting OF the executive board of the movement
discussed the matter and definitely decided that
nothing but foreign missions must be included in
its work.
Mr.. Morehouse says that the action of the board
that this great land, with missionary prob
lens such as no heather Land presents to-day.
shall be absolutely kept out of sight and thought,
far this movement goes He adds that: 1t
is almost inconceivable blunder for good men
make in this day of unparalleled missionary
opportunity and need at nome. 1t sets up anew
barriers that have been breaking down-the arti
fetal barriers between home and foreign missions.
Missions and indivisible is the only mis-
s!onaIy platform that will appeal to the thoughtful
in churches"

HARD TIMES IN THE FAR NORTH.
Hungry Wolves Are Growing Bolder-Poo,
Fur Season Predicted by Trappers

Edmonton Alberta Dec. 13 (SpeciaD.-Wolves are
becoming ferocious than ever, according
recent reports from the north country. Along the
banks of the Athabasca River the animals are said
to be especially dangerous, and traders there
port many narrow escapes. scarcity of small
game during the summer has made the animals
particularly ravenous, and already they have done
untold damage by destroying colts, calves and
sheep. Further north. in the Lesser Slave country
settlers have lost a considerable amount of stock
in this way during the sumner. The carcasses of
many bears have been found along the trails show
ing that the wolves in desperate straits.
During the last year there has been scarcity of
fur bearing animals. To add to the troubles of the
inhabitants of the Far North the grain crops were
not up to the average. owing to the lateness of
spring and the shorter in the northern lati-
tudes. According to advces, the northern trading
posts are well stocked with provisions of all kinds.
but this will not help the Indians and trappers If
they have neither money nor furs and the posts
persist in their refusal to give credit
Every seventh year is regarded as a bad one for
trappers owing to disease killing off the rab
bits and other small animals. and the year just
drawing q close is the seventh since the last
bad year, when there was so much suffering in
the remote districts All told. the coming winter
does not present a very bright outlook to those
living in the Far North.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH YEAR
annals Shoe EUen Grozcth IN Men,
bership and Finance.

Episcopal annals show this year. as in most
years. remarkably even growth in membership
and in finances AS on previous years the weak
point lies with the children. COMMUNICATE growth
was last year the rate OF 8 per cent, which is
considerably larger than population growth, imrni-
grafton. from which the Episcopal Church can
expect little thrown in. Diocese: in which phe-
nomenal Episcopal Church increases beidg nnaGe
include Alabama. Arkansas, Colorado. Florida
Kentucky, California Massachusetts, the Caro-
linas. Ohio Texas and Tennessee Hardly any dis
trict shows losses
In contributions there is not only a steady in
crease in the amounts going to parishes for their
support, but the sums sent TO missions in distant
parts of the world increase about 20 per cent
year. Last year each Episcopal COM Gnicant gave
s2oS2. or almost 50 more than the average OF any
other religious body in America The next high
est is the Presbyterian. whose average contribu-
ton last year SIS 20 per member Heretofore
the showing made by EpiscOpalians for general mis-
sions has been bad when compared with some
other bodies. but this largely because some
offerings were not included in the official reports
Episcopalians have Just ordered that hereafter
contributions to missions in the United states sali
be included and when they appear in the reports
in future years the relative showing Will oe
changed.
Sunday schools in the Episcopal churches have
fewer children in them than they had a year ago
This condition obtains also in some principal cites'
New York among them. The figures for last year
437. .266 scholars while for the previous year
they were Al a3a showing a loss of more than
four thousand. The number Of teachers oecreased
by nearly thousand. in spite OF the fact tha'
teacher training is more active now than ever
before
Reasons given for this decline several one
is the lack OF children among the well-to-do, VINO
fc~m large proportion of Episcopal cohllhuhl-
cants. and another is the growth OF rglo sSS-
tenn of counting attendance instead Of enrolment
The cause which Episcopalians find for greatest
alarm is baptism. Parents are not taxing
their children to the clergy, they once did There
were four thousand fewer children baptized last
year than the previous year and all baptlsnls zen
off five thousand The growth of the Episcopal
Church is therefore great part from other bodies
whose baptisms are accepted by the Episcopai
Cnurch, but whose numbers do not appear In tle
records until confirmed The chronic lack or cam
didatea for ministry still obtains aIthouSh
there were nearly two hundred more parishes last
year in want of clergy than the year before Inc
number of candidates shows no increase whatever
