in episcopal Cburrb

Episcopal Church growth for the
year 1914 is shown to be far above the
average in years. according to the Liv-
ing Church Annual and Churchman'S
Almanac for 1915, just published. The
number Of the communicates is now
past the one million mark, or 1,015,0o0,
an increase of .02S per cent during the
past year. Contributors for all work
amount to $19.736,060. of which $780,
600 went for the board of missions. Or
this sum the parishes gave $666,SOO.
The gross increase for the year was
$4,000.
1t Is interesting to note that the Do
cese of New York gave $2,961.o00 for
all work; Massachusetts. s1.120.o0o;
Pennsylvania, s1.493.00o. and Long
Island gave nearly a million. ss04.ooo
The financial statement of the five-mil-
lion-dollar commission of the general
clergy relief shows that during the
past year 100000 was paid out to aged
and disabled clergy and to widows and
orphans In amounts up to $500. and in
cluded the payment Of pension-interest
checks to 1913 men over sixty-four
years of age. Seventy-five thousand
dollars was left to the fund
in wills and $15o,O0o was received
from other sources. The net gain in
number of clergy was ninety-three. far
above the average in recent years The
total number is 5,546.
Dioceses showing largest growth in
number Of communicates for the year
were New York, Washington, western
Massachusetts,. southern Ohio. Los
angeles, Newark. Connecticut. Micht-
gan City and western New York. Fig
ures showing numbers in Sunday
schools give the total of 455,251. a, gain
over the report by the general con-
vention of 1918. The general conven-
tion Of 1913 reported the Sunday
schools in the church to be the weak
point, with only 446.000 pupils. The
gain during the past two years since
the general conventions report Is
per cent, considered by officials to be
good.

Build for Eternity.

In contrasting this thought of Gods
eternity with mans frailty. which is
like the grass that is soon cut down
and withereth, we can understand how
blest are those who lean upon the
truth: Lord, Thou hast been our
dwelling place in all generations"
The experiences OF every passing year
teach US how much we need a perma-
nent home. Mans only hope of happi-
ness Is in finding a refuge from the
beyond their reach until we take hold
of the Infinite.
God reveals Himself as mans home,
"our dwelling place" 1t is a God pro-
vided home. We are unable to build
a perfect home for ourselves. Every
year finds us shivering In the Icy blasts
of a cold world unless we have found
in God our dwelling place"
He builds too low that builds be-
meath the skies"
In your New Year resolutions have
this thought in view: Build for eter-
uity Here there is no place of rest for
,he weary and toiling spirits of men,
no spot that is safe from the hands of
the destroyer. But there is "a house
not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens" An everlasting home. In
this thought we find the highest aspira-
,ions and hopes of life. There Is no
lraater resolution that any one can
make than this: II will arise and go to
INV Father" There is welcome Tor
nvery returning prodigai.
The coming year will be rich in hope
~ nromjse to you, if you realize your
nwn frailty and inability and turn for
helm to Him who says Will suioe
thee with my counsel

The True Guide.

He sent His well beloved Son to earth
in the likeness of man to be a pattern
and an example for all men to follow.
He has provided a perfect example of
life in Christ-who lived in this world
as we live, In all respects save sin-one
pure and perfect and yet partaker OF
our nature and conditions Of life-one
who is both God and man. In the union
of the divine and human nature is
found all that is necessary to consti-
tute model of life. The way to make
this year and all years tell for our
highest good is in following the ex-
ample He has given. The all-compre-
hending resolution to make on New
Year day or on any other day is in the
determination to consecrate our lives
to the service Of the worlds Redeemer.

been slowly, steadily. but certainly chang
ing the currents Of civilization. molding
the history of nations and Changing the
character of men. because, as Henry
Drummond has well said, that ten min
utes a day spent with Jesus Christ was
enough to transhgure our lives.
From our study we have come 70
understand better the personality OF the
Lord that has exercised such marvei-
Gus power in the world since His ascen-
sion The three factors that determine
our Judgment Of any life-what mas
he done. what was he and what are the
results of his nfe-have all been con-
sidered by US in our study OF the words
and work of the Lord Jesus. the con-
sideration in our review OF the LABOR thas
He performed. the life that He nved ana
the legacy that He beQueathed TO
humanity will cover more than the les.
sons of the quarter just ending. ana
ought to bring before US the unique per-
sonaIity of Jesus that has brought freedom
to the world by His Life and LABOR
Labor.
In all but three Of the lessons for the
first nine months Of the year we saw
Jesus the teacher of men. The Master.
whose work proved to the scholarly
Nicodemus that He was teacher sent
from God used in his teaching methods
that hold today the leading place in
modern pedagogical practice. Froebel,
Pestalozzi and Nine. Montesorri have only
emphasized in their efforts on behalf Of
the child the principles that Jesus pro-
claimed to men when Christ revealed the
possibilities of the child. He found the
point of contact in every life that He
touched. so that He might present to
them the message of the Fatherhood of
God, the brotherhood Of man, the help
fulness of the Holy Spirit, the grace Of
salvation. the kingdom of God and the
Transforming power of love. In fact, the
great specialist in spiritual life reduced
all law into one, Thou shalt love-"
In his ministry Of healing. the regular
physician Of our day has come to adopt
in his work. especially in psychiatry. the
same methods and principles used by the
Master as He went about doing good.
Prayer that had SO large a place in His
life has come to be recognized as an i'm
portant factor in healing diseases today.
The power of Christ as a teacher was due
to His practicing what He taught. His
example in His daily life demonstrated
the reality Of His gospel The life that
He lived in private and public confirmed
His teaching.
