CHURCH sTA1lSTICS.

Statistics OF the church membership
and afiliation of the people OF Coium-
bia and it's immediate environs reveal
some very interesting facts. From
the census recently taken by the sun
day schools of the city it appears that
there are 2,444 members or attendants
Of the churches within the territory
covered by the census. Not pad
showing. There are probably 10,OOO
people living within the boundaries
covered by the enumerators taxing the
census. OF this number it is con-
servatively estimated that less than
1000 are white. The figures revealed
by the census are of white people
only. OF course, the Jews are not
enumerated Their number Is not
known, but they must be deducted
from the white population 10 order 10
arrive at the proportion of the latter
who are church members or who have
church affiliations. Although DOUBT
less fairly accurate allowance must
also be made for some church mem
bers who were missed by the enumera-
tors. There were probably not less
than 100 of these.
Making therefore all due allowances
for the church members whom the
enumerators failed to list and for the
Jew population it is evident that
about two-fifths of the Christian peo-
ME are members of the church. This
is approximately the ratio that obtains
in the United States According TO
recent statistics compiled by the Uni
ted States census bureau there are
"a 900 900 church members In this
country. Reckoning the total popu-
lation of the nation at S5,OOo,OoO ana
two in five are found to belong to the
church This is very creditable
showing, particularly in view OF the
fact that more than two-hfths OF the
nopulation are under the age OF eigh-
teen years and very inconsiderable
proportion Of the church members are
below that age.
There are practically 1000 white
people in Columbia and its suburbs
who acknowledge church Affiliations
In other words practically two-thirds
Of the population are either directly
or indirectly connected with some
church. There are perhaps few COM
munities that can make better show
ing and it is highly creditable to this
people that so large a per cent OF
them are afiliated with the church

Let up, BRETHREN.

The newspaper controversy between
Editor DuBose, of the Epworth Ezra,
Chancellor kirkland, of Vanderbilt
University, and other prominent Meth
odist leaders is neither edifying nor
uplifting. 1t is not dignified nor VIII
it be helpful to the church or adyan-
tageous to the university under dis
cussion. No good whatever can come
of it. AS We understand and have al
WAYS understood the situation Wander
bilt is a Methodist institution. Its
relations to the church can be decided
only by the highest tribunal of the
church, the General Conference. That
meets at Asheville next May and will
be competent to dispose OF the ques-
ton, doubtless to the entire satisfac-
ton of the great masses of the church.
Let's leave the question for that con-
ference and not thresh it out through
the columns of the religious and secu-
lar press.
People even who are not members
of the church look to it and to Its
authorities for leadership in moral
and social matters. They recognize
that the church is the great leader in
all movements for moral and social
uplift. Their confidence in the church
is not likely to be increased in the
presence of such manifestations OF i'll
temper and such outbursts OF billins-
gate as they have recently witnessed
between divines and professors and
doctors of one of the greatest and
most powerful church organizations
upon the globe.
when preachers and lay leaders OF
the church cannot discuss its problems
without loss of temper and INDUCING
in the language of the gutter and
casting deep and dark aspersions up
on their brethren who may not agree
with them it is time to call halt. 1t
1e DdQ enough W nave Jul POAASAS~AA
campaigns beclouded and disgraced
by outbursts OF the character describ-
ed. 1t is infinitely worse where our
moral and religious leaders are the
offenders. Rejecting upon the honor
of an adversary; calling another harsh
names and indulging in passionate
outbursts of temper do not constitute
argument any more in the church
than it does in the political forum.
Denunciation is not logic and abuse
is not an appeal to reason. No cause
was ever promoted, truth was never
ascertained by methods which would
be discreditable to the ward heller
and the street corner orator. The
spirit displayed by the chief figures In
this Vanderbilt controversy is not
creditable to the church. Let us end
it all now. At least until our tenn
pers have cooled and our passions are
again normal.

LONG RElGNS.

The late Leopold, Of Belgium, was
on the throne for forty-four years. He
ruled longer than any monarch now
on the throne except Francis Joseph
OF Austria Hungary. who has been
emreror since 1918 or more than sixty
years. The record of the latter has
been exceeded by but one sovereign
during the past two hundred years
And that was the late Queen Victoria
who assembled the throne of England
in 1897 and died in 1901, her reign
covering a period of sixty-four years
No English monarch ever sat upon the
throne for so long time, the nearest
approach to her record being that OF
George III, who was King from 1850
To 1920, Just sixty years. Louis XIV
of France. lie grand monarch, has all
sovereigns Of modern times distanceo
in point of time upon the throne, mis-
reign. one of the most brilliant in the
history of the world, lasting for more
than SeYenty-JWO years
The world has moved apace since
Leopold became King. When he as
cended the throne there was no cable
communication between this country
and Europe. the telephone was not yet
in operation; the incandescent light
the, monograph, the typewriter. the
automobile, the typesetting machine
the modern battleship, the airsnip
the wireless telegraph and thousands
of other inventions were unknown.
Forty-four years ago the great war
between the States had Just ended,
Macmillan was upon the throne OF
Mexico, the German Empire existed
only in the gigantic brain OF the iron
Chancellor: Napoleon III slept In the
bed of the Bourbons, political liberty
was undreamed of in the Orient; Japan
was lust emerging from the mystery
and obscurity that had enveloped II
for centuries.
Since Leopold assembled the throne
ten Presidents have directed the al
fairs of the United States; Cuba has
Joined the family of nations; Brazii
has ceased to be ruled by an emperor;
France has for a third time estao'
lished a Republic and more than a
half dozen Presidents have followed
each other to the executive office; the
German Empire has been created
and three monarchs been upon It's
throne. Since Leopold became King
empires have crumbled; dynastles
have ceased to rule; the benign infiu'
ence of liberty has spread its bless
ings around the globe. What span
forty-four years be in these strenuous
DAYS; these days of advancement and
achievement; of progress and enllght-
eminent And yet there are those who
contend that the world is not advanc
ing. that there Is no progress. Let
them but cast the eye of retrospect
back over the past half a century.
