Five Years Of Baptist
Growth In Idaho

ldaho's rapid development, may bo
mentioned scenic beauty, climate, tim
Der, water and mining; but the chief
wealth-contributing and home-build-
Ing factor will be agriculture. Forty
Carey Act projects and three largo
Government projects are beginning tho
stupendous undertaking of turning our
abundant water supply onto our mil
lions of acres of fertile desert soil,
Up to 1912, 1880 miles of bitches
nave been built, and 100000 Of
dollars have been expended on these
projects, and by the time they arc
completed, $SS,OOO,OOO will have been
expended During the last five years
our population has probably increased
at the same rate as given by the
last official census, which was 1O1
per cent, then the third largest per-
centage in the United States. The
increase in educational work is indi-
Gated by the fact that our public
school property has increased in
value 95 per cent and school expendi-
lures " per cent. The development
OF Public Utilities is very significant.
During the past five years, the as
sessed valuation of railroads has
increased 343 per cent Our electric
per cent, and the mileage of tale-
phone and telegraph lines has in
creased 131 per cent. Our live stock
has increased 81 per cent, and large
increases have been made in tho
grain, potato, and fruit products.
We have often urged Idaho Bap-
lists to be sufficiently aggressive to
insure our denominational growth
Keeping pace with the marvellous ma
tcrial development. A comparison re-
garding this matter reveals the en-
couraging fact that although the state
has been growing SO rapidly, yet we
nave not only kept pace with
this growth in our denominational
work, but have considerably surpassed
1t. In presenting our five years Of
Baptist growth, we desire to be abb
solutely fair and SO we have tabulated
the facts regarding a wide scope of
work, and a large variety of activi-
ties. In any section of the country,
and at almost any time, two or three
lines of work could be picked out
which would show large increases, but
we propose to show that we have been
making sufficient gains in Idaho
along practically all lines. The per-
centagc of increase in our work in
IA aspects will be given. We will
not expect you to remember such an
array Of statistics, but If you read
them over you cannot help being inn.

attracted people from all parts of
the country to come and settle upon
our fertile lands. Tho progress of

course of development, therefore, won-
derful opportunities for religious
growth are afforded. We plead
guilty Of being a booster for Idaho.

BY Rev. w. n. Bowler

In order to give an intelligent under.
standing of the religious progress be-
ing made in Idaho, it will be necessary
to say something about the material
development and resources. Manifest
ly, it is absolutely impossible to OBJ
tain an adequate conception of the
religious situation in any community
without taking into account the ma
terial development. The magnificent
growth of our denomination during
the last five years was made possible
