AMERICANS AND THE CHURCHES

In announcing a gain in church
membership during the last year of
but one and seven-tenths per cent,
DR.. H. X. Carroll former Director of
the Religious Census of the United
States, deplores the fact that but
32,000,000 out of 100000 inhabi-
tants OF this country are taking any
interest in religion.
Summarizing the achievements of
the twelve months, he thinks the
half million new members-an aver
age addition of but two and a half
communicates to each of the 100000
churches-a very unsatisfactory re-
turn on the S1,757, 7,575,S67 invested
in the religious property owned by
the 1S6 different denominations of
the country. In extenusation, church
supports point out that the average
annual salary of the 1866, 900 minis
ters is but S663-little more than an
Office boys wage-and that many of
them are prevented from doing JUS
tice to their work by being obliged
to devote part of their time to other
Vocations to support their families.
To this is undoubtedly due the fact
that with approximately 60,000,000
sittings in the 100000 churches of
the United States we find a paltry
35,O00,OO0 members to fill them
Disappointing as this may seem to
the spiritual minded it would OBJ
yiously be unfair to interpret it as an
indictment of the 60,000,00O Amer
leans who for one reason or another
have no church affiliations. OF this
vast number of non-church going cit
liens of the republic, large percent
age, it is reasonable to assume, are
religously disposed, even though they
do not practice it openly. The fact
that they have recourse to the admin
istrations OF the clergy only in sick
ness, marriage and death or when
the youngsters are to be christened,
is not to be held against them or to
be accepted as proof that they are
hostile to the church and its instru-
mentalities for good. In a country,
where religion is as free as air and
the church and state, have nothing in
common, 1t indeed is surprising to
many that the denominations have
enlisted as many active partisans as
they have or are as aggressive as
they are. No business institution
employs more varied agencies to ex-
tend its influence and stimulate in
terest in It's work and service.
Finance, literature, oratory, music
all the arts that appeal to the
Imagination and awaken these i'm
pulses which control the actions OF

HALF A MILLION SOUGHT IN SUIT
Knapps VS.. Binghamton Trust Co..
Trustee Gregory Sues State Bank
Superintendent For Sum of
Si35 ,633.31,

Papers have been served by Z. d.
Cumming, of Deposit, and his coun-
sci, Hinman, Howard a. Kattell, of
Binghamton, on behalf of William NJ .
Gregory as trustee of the bankrupt
estate of Knapp Brothers, in a new
suit brought by Mr.. Gregory to COM
pei the State Superintendent of Bank
ing, George c. Van Tuyl, of Albany,
and the old Binghamton Trust Com
pany to refund a total of $437,633.-
81 in notes held by the Trust Com
pany and claimed by the Knapp es-
tate, and an additional sum of $780,
600 for damages alleged to have been
sustained.
The principals at issue in this case
are almost Identical with those at is
sue in the case of the old Bingham
ton Trust Company VS.. the Knapp
Brothers estate, brought to secure
possession of notes aggregating over
100000 in face value, an detained
by the Trust Company to be the con-
Germs property. This last case was
won by the plaintiff in the trial in the
Supreme Court but new trial was
secured on appeal to the Appellate
Division.
The complaint alleges that the
NAhNPPS uiiONSu uSpOSIlS amounting
to about S1,500,000 to be received at
the Callicoon branch at a time when
the amount owing depositors was
greater than their total assets, and
that with the knowledge of the direc-
tors of the Binghamton Trust Com
pany. Charles ]. Knapp was allowed
to withdraw large amounts from that
institution and charge them against
the firm of Knapp Brothers to give
the appearance of solvency. 1t is
further charged that transfers of
commercial paper covering practical
ly all of the assets of Knapp Broth
ers were made to the Binghamton
Trust Company.
These notes were those turned over
10 the care of Superintendent Van
Tuyl. The plaintiff has formerly de-
manded the return of these notes and
failure to do so has resulted in the
suit being continued.
