Church PrOspers

Instead of the dire fate of the Catholic church when separated from the govern ment. predicted by the pope. that church fin France has gone forward since separa- ton as 1t never did when part of the state. Formerly, in order to effect changes of almost any kind, permission of the state had to be first obtained. As they could not always be had there were many abuses. Freed from state alliance, a revival of religion and of church build ing has come so that greater progress has been made in Paris alone during the last two years Of separation than during hundred years previously of dependence on the state.
 Exactly as in Protestant bodies. church extension societies have been formed in the Catholic church In the principal cities of France. These have both built churches, new neighborhoods. and have divided old parishes and provided new churches in sufficient numbers that all who wish may attend public worship. In Paris proper nine more parishes have been formed, In the archdiocese b more. and in the district 2i new chapels have been erected. To comply with the French sep aration law per cent of amounts ex- pended in churches is paid to the govern uent, but the latter returns the entire sum to the church in the form of gifts. The Parish Church Building society has just held it's second annual meeting. The new archbishop of Paris. Cardinal Annette persided and praised the work accom- plished. He rejoiced in the separation in 80 far as 1t secured liberty for the Cath olics such as they enjoy in America. but added that In and around Paris are still 1,Soo.000 persons almost completely de- prived of Christian privileges owing tc distance of their homes from the churches. To provide for these masses Cardinal Annette described as the imme. diate work before the new society.

Methodist Dispute

Alcoholism is getting ready to celebrate the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of it's founding in America, but curiously 1t is uncertain as 10 the date, and at odds north and south over the honor of priority. Commissions are to be named at once representing the Methodists north. south and Protestants. the three great bodies that are heirs to the honor of a century and a half ago. These commis- sions will study dates and decide upon the date for the celebration. owing to un- usual circumstances, it is reckoned fairly certain that Methodists south will win out.
 Two Irishmen planted Methodsm fin America. Both were local preachers, and both were filled with Wesley zeal. One worked in the city. the other in the coun- try. One kept records of hls work the other did not. Philip Embury was Pal estine Irishman. That Is, his stock came from that part of Germany once known as the Palatinate. He began work in New York. He was helped by Barbara lick and others. and the Methodist church that he built, called in that day Wesley chapel, was on the site of the present John street Methodist church. out of 1t grew that church indeed.
 The other Irihsman was Robert Straw bridge. He came from Ireland to Mary land. Whether he began to preach inn mediately upon his arrival, or waited a while before so doing, is not definitely known. If it was known the exact date for the forthcoming Methodist celebration would be more easily fixed. He kept no records that have come down to the pres ent, or few at any rate. and buildings with which he had to do have long since disappeared. His first building was a log house. Perhaps Strawbridge built 1t him self for he was by trade a carpenter.
 For 40 years debate of dates has been going on among Methodists as to which of these Irish Methodist local preachers first began work. The commissions now to be named by the three Methodist bodies will have to make some decisions, first as to dates and second as to cele- bration.

Shall China Have Bibles2

In it's eagerness for western intellgence, especially since the departure of the Manchu rulership, the people of China are demanding Bibles in excess of num- bers which the American Bible society finds itself financially able to supply Dr. Hylses, the society's agent In China, re- ports that prejudice has disappeared with the Manchus and that China really wishes at last to find out what Christianity real ly is. The Chinese and others buy Bibles, but they do not always pay all of the cost. The society appropriates S52.509 this year for Bible work for the Chinese btu 1t will not. it is now stated. meet the demands of these wide awake revolu- tioned peoples.
 Owing to the disturbed conditions ob- taining last year the sales of some col porters fell off coco to 120O0 copies. As never before there are dialect Bibles to meet these new demands of this year. The question is solely the cost of manu- facture and distribution beyond amounts paid by the purchasers The Bible society Is now asking whether the churches will see to it that no one in China who desires a Bible shall be compelled to go without one

TAFI'S TRIBUTE
TO AVIATOR
President Called Wright the
Father of the Science of
Aeronautics
WAS FAvOR|TE WITH THE ARMY
Built and Sold the War Depart.
ment Its First Military Flying
Machine.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Washington, d. c., May 30.-In gov
ernment circles, especially in the sig
nal corps of the army, profound sor-
row was expressed at the news of the
death of Wilbur Wright. His connec-
ton with the government in the early
days of aeroplane development was
particularly close.
Relations With War Department.
Wilbur Wright negotiated the first
contract with the war department for
an aeroplane, in February, 1908. Prior
to the issuance of specifications for
this first heavier-than-a flying ma
| chine, he was a frequent visitor to
the army signal corps headquarters
During these visits, Brigadier General
James Allen. chief signal officer of
the army said today there never was
g time when Wilbur Wright showed
any doubt of his ability to do exactly
what he had undertaken, or made eX.
travagant claims for his machine.
Built First Military Aeropiane.
The first military aeroplane in the
world, which the Wright brothers
built for the United States, was
! brought to Fort Meyer, in 1908. In it,

maintained continuous fight of one
hour and the same day carried a pass
enger on a short flight. Soon after
! Wilbur Wright went to France where
| he made better records in a duplicate
machine.
General Allen Pays Tribute.
General Allen today paid high
tribute to Wilbur and Orville Wright.
ITO them" he said, lis due the great
credit of first publicly demonstrating
to the world the practicability of dy-
manic flight The success of the
| Wright brothers was not due to chance
or to any accident or discovery, but
to their persistence, daring and intelli-
gence in scientifically working out the
different parts which go to make up
their machine and practically testing
the same in flight"
Was Highly Honored.
The Wright brothers received a
medal and thanks from Congress and
also medal from the Smithsonian In
stitution for their achievements
Taft Expresses Regret.
