CHURCH PROGRESS SLOW.

Methodist churches in Iowa, out
side of OskalOOSa must be inactive
if what DR.. l.. o. Hartman, of Chica.
go, told the pastors and superintend-
ents assembled at Des MOines, is
true. that their church is making
practically no progress in member
ship or in efficiency. A church that
can muster an attendance 500 at
Sunday school. as Central NJ. E.
church did last Sunday is surely not
going backwards or standing still
But the figures for the state are not
encouraging to those who admire pro,
gress in numbers and development.
Df. Hartman said that when he
commenced study of conditions in
Iowa he first investigated the raising
of corn in this state He found that
of 100000 acres the state raised 334,-
100000 bushels of corn in 1910, bring
ing a revenue of $120,00O000 and that
for the past fifteen years the income
of the state from corn alone was over
800 100000 a year.
Expecting to find similar advance
ment in the states ideals and in its
provision of opportunities for the
right training of children in morals
and religion, he discovered that the
state during the most of that period
had been actually marking time. The
Methodist church, as an example,
showed in the Upper Iowa confer
ence a gain of only twO-thirds of a
member per church building in the
ten years preceding 1911. Northwest.
ern Iowa showed an advance of one
member. The Des Moines conference
had advanced only three-fOurths of a
member per building. The advance
for the state as whole was but
three-fifths of l per cent
In 1911 every conference Of the
church showed a net loss of ministers
according to Dr. Hartman. and at the
end Of the year there were twenty
eight less than there had been twelve
months before.
Less than one person per church
building is the annual gain in many
OF the church conferences, according
to DIR. Hartman. During 1911 it cost
the church 81 900 for each person add.
ed to its constituency.

JEWS ARE PROvIDENT.

Dependency among the Jews OF
New York City, according TO the an
nual report of the United Hebrew
Charities, is decreasing appreciably.
The associations statistics show that
in the fiscal year just ended there
were 700 fewer applicants for relief
than last year, and that 500 fewer
persons were found by its investigat-
ors to need charitable support. The
report goes on:
THE continuing decrease in the
number of families demanding and re-
iquiring assistance is a growing indi-
cation that the Jewish immigrant is
taking full advantage of the oppOr-
tunities afforded here for a livelihood.
and, more than this, is exercising
thrift and prudence in providing
against emergencies of illness. unem-
ployment, and accident, through the
various mutual help agencies, such
as fraternal organizations and insur-
auce companies. From this it must
not be inferred. however, that the f.
nancial burden upon the society is
diminished The problem of depend
ency has become much more difficult
and intricate. Into it are injected
larger and more complicated consid-
erations, involving woman and child
labor, housing. education, health, and
recreation. Where in former. years
the grant of small sum to tide one
over the emergency disposed OF the
case, today the continuous relief
granted must be coupled with intelli-
gent, solicitous and painstaking eff.
forts to rehabilitate the family. Fam
lily rehabilitation has become the
watchword of our relief committees
and thinkers. We realize that con-
structive and reconstructive philan-
thropy involves generous relief"

Penn College Record.

While the Penn College football
season was not very successful one,
either from the comparative score or
rom the games won, the team did eX-
cedingly well considering the amount
of experience that the players had.
With only five Uid players left and
a noticeable lack of material, Coach
Hinshaw developed a team which
showed up well with the other teams
with which it came in contract. On
account of the greenness of the men
the first two games which We're play
ed were lost by wide margin. If
Penn had met either of these teams
at the close OF the season a very diff
feTent score would have been the re-
suit. The team developed an offense
this year which surpasses anything
that Penn has had for some years.
Gillett at fullback was one of the sur
prises of the year. Penn did not run
up against defense that Gillett
could not make substantial gains
through. Pierrel, at half, was also a
great factor in the good showing. He
was equally strong in both bucks and
end runs. G. Ruby, at the other half,
was not far behind him. Dodds, who
played at quarter during the whole
season is one of the best field gener.
ais that Penn has ever had. Coupled
with this was his ability to carry the
ball and his clever lodging The
summary of the games played and
their scores is given below:
