CHURCH PROGRESS SHOWN
BY CATHOLICS DURING YEAF

Catholic church affairs at the close
OF 1912, in America and in Europe, are
for the most part much improved over
their condition at the beginning of the
year In America. of course, there is
nothing but steady growth. The Gre
alton of two additional American car
dinals Just a year ago has much
strengthened Catholic affairs in Amer
lea while the growing influence Of
leaders like the archbishOps OF Chicago,
st. Louis and San Francisco help Cath
Ole interests beyond the provinces Of
the cardinals, whose official influence
is limited to the provinces of Boston,
New York and Baltimore.
In Catholic finances the two notable
things of the year in America were
the greatly improved affairs Of the
Catholic university at Washington, and
the large increase in missionary giving
by Catholics of the province of New
York The university opened one large
memorial building, and has others in
prospect America now furnishes in
New York the largest given to Catholic
world missions Of any province out
side of France.
The better relations of the Vatican
and France, and the prospect of early
diplomatic relations, are the hopeful
feature of the Catholic church in
Europe. The ending of the war be-
tween Turkey and Italy, and the larger
field in Lydia give the church new
visions. In Vienna and Paris the
building of new Catholic churches has
gone on with vigor. 1t is an odd fact
that Catholics in American cities have
been better provided with churches

MISSIONARY PROGRESS IN
AMERICA DURING YEAR

The cause Of Christian missions in
America at the close Of the year 1912,
for America and for the world seems
to be affected little by the special mis-
sionary movements of the past three or
four years. There is a moderate in
crease in missionary giving, but it is N
increase that has been going on for q
least a dozen years. The present year
shows no marked difference over al
most any. one Of the past y. The
American board, supported in largest
measure by gregationalists, the
Presbyterian home and foreign boards,
and the general Episcopal board showed
their largest years at their annual
meeting Methodist boards, suffering
from slumps of two and three years
ago, pulled up considerably at their
fall meetings just held. The Disciples
and Baptist boards show steady but not
unusual gains Foreign gifts, now
nearly 13,00O,00O a year, lead those
from all other countries, England in
cIuded, and home mission gifts have
just passed the S4O,0OO,o0o mark per
year
A newer form of missions, social ser
vice and social justice, has grown rap
idly during the year now closing. In
the larger cities neighbOrnOOd guilds
have formed, composed OF the best
residents who support one man whose
duty it is to look after neighbOrhOOd
welfare In few cities exhaustive
studies Of conditions have been made,
until surveys have come to be hack
neyed. The year has been prolific of
surveys of many things. Men and
women of wealth are giving time and
money to the uplift of society, the pre-
vention of disease, the immunity from
accident, and the roofing out of So
called graft.
The beginning of the year saw the
closing meetings of the men and re-
ligion movement. but apart from these
things the year now ending was freer
from special occasions than any for
long time. Special movements, so called,
seem to have lost some of their
popular favor. The christian effort of
the year has been devoted chiefly to
the strengthening Of churches as con-
gregations, the helping of pastors in
their individual plans, rather than in
the promotion Of mass meetings. Even
the general societies, like those to fur
Their temperance, have felt the pressure
of the new plan, and have suffered in
their efforts. The year 1912 shows as
a whole. a steady growth in missions
Of the old sort, a new emphasis on So
cial work, and a lack Of enthusiasm for
special efforts.

THIS GOOD ROADS
TALK NEEDED HERE
Government Expert in This Vicinity
Has Very Interesting Lecture
With Pictures.

Win B1cuuEess
FL Paso might induce B. Z. Burrell,
the national government good roads
expert. who is now at Mesilla Park
lecture, if the proper invitation were
to be extended through official
sources. Mr.. Burreu, whose headquar-
tiers is in Washington, has had nearly
20 years experience in road engineer
4 great part of that time has been
spent in building roads in the Phil
ippine islands, part of the time in Sal
vadOr, South America, and a number
of years he has been actively engaged
in the work in the United states. He
came from the office of public roads
at Washington expressly to deliver a
series of lectures in New Mexico and
Ell Paso would be fortunate indeed if
his schedule can be so arranged as to
include a lecture here.
His lectures are illustrated with 100
of the finest stereOpticOn views from
the government collection, beautifully
cOlored, showing every phase of road
building and road necessities.
Helping DOna Ana County.
The series of lectures in DOna Ana
county by Mr.. Burreu started with the
lecture at RincOn on last Monday
night which was attended by large
audience, many of whom rode or drove
Is to IS miles through the cold and
snow. McCHntOcks opera house was
filled to the doors. In the afternoon
good roads meeting was held in the
same hall, of which Lee Elliott was
chairman, and at which addresses were
made by Mr.. Burreu on the great need
of roads and the advisability of bond
issues for building roads, and by Fran
els L. Lester, president of the DOna
Ana County Good Roads association,
who spoke upon the local needs of each
community, the necessity for cOOpera-
ton, and made a strong plea for af-
firmattve action at the road bond cleo
ton.
On Tuesday night last the biggest
crowd of westside citizens ever brought
together met in the La Mesa school
house to listen to Mr.. Burrells good
roads lecture: 225 people from La
Mesa, ChamberinO and san Miguel
packed the hall The lecture was lis
tened to with the greatest enthusiasm
and interest, and the 100 beautiful ste
reopticon views were a wonderful rev.
elatiOn.
Mr.. BurreH Iectured in Las Cruces
on Thursday night; on Friday night
in the schOOlhOuse at Mesilla: tonight
he lectures at the State college: Tues
day night, December 81, at BerinO: and
Wednesday night, January 1, at La
Union He then goes to Deming and
Silver City for a night meeting at each
place After that he can perhaps be
induced to come to FL PasO.

SCRIPTURE.
Proverbs 1a-I5.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning
of knowledge. but fools despise wisdom
and instruction.
Ny son, hear the instruction of thy
father. and forsake not the law of thy
mother:
For they shall be an ornament of
grace unto thy head, and chains about
they neck.
Ny son, if sinners entice thee, con-
sent thou not.
If they say, come with us, let US lay
wait for blood let US Turk privily for
the innocent without cause:
Let US swallow them up alive as the
grave; and whole, as those that go
down into the pit.
We shall find all precious substance,
we shall fill our houses with spoil:~
Cast in thy lot among US; let US all
have one purse
Ny son, walk not thou in the way
with them; refrain thy foot from their
path:

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PUT ON
BASIS WITH MISSION WORN


Teaching the christian religion, not
ages, made a distinct advance during the
year 1912 in that the business of it was
organized, in several religious bodies,
upon the same basis as that long OBJ
tanning for missions. General boards,
with secretaries, were formed. In
few. notably in Congregational and
Methodist, such organized effort had
long obtained. The year 1912 saw their
plans copied in half a dozen other prin-
cipal bodies.
In Bible study for young men, there
have been several changes in method.
Perhaps the most notable of the year
now ending, is the DrexaI Biddle, of
Philadelphia, where a young society
that has extended to other cities and
become national in aim. Oddly enough,
this inexperienced promoter hit upon
plans that worked when older heads
failed. In spite of some criticism, ath-
letics were made prominent among
those who attend the classes. Whatever
be said of it, the DreXel Biddle Bible
classes are growing in numbers, and
men stay in classes when once in them.
1t is as notable Bible class movement
as any in recent years.
Two other forms of Christian educa-
ton. developed, if not started, during
sionary world fairs, and the Christian
universities. These fairs are termed
THE World in Baltimore" or whatever
city held in. Volunteers act as demon
stratOrs, things are shown from mis-
sionary lands and people in the doing
and in the making and crowds attend
them.

CHRISTIANS ARE GETTING

Probably the most noteworthy fea-

spirit, shown forth in several ways.
There is planned a world conference
on faith and order, but that was pro-
ectjed in 1912, and during 1912 nothing
beyond educational work was accom-
plished toward it Nobody pretends to
say as yet when or where such con-
ference will be held. The ida prevails,
fostered by a suggestion made during
the year by christian leaders in En-
land, that it viii be held in New York
city, some time.

sionary and men and religion move
ment was this same Christian unity.
