AS TOLD BY ANOTHER
 ON THE POSTMASTER

An incident that brought forth quite a great deal of laughter tooz it's place on the calendar at the m s:ei- ing Of the Young Mems Progressive Business league Thursday when Postmaster John D. Wilbourne spraag to his feet and offered a motion that would do away with the age limit of the league.
 The motion as offered by the post master could not quite be understood by President Russell, who thought that the league should stay within the bounds of forty years and not allow members to become affiliated with the league who are over tha! age.
 MT. Russell then alighted from h.s chair and asked Mir. Wilbourne his age. Before thinking the IPostmasteI readily agreed to answer the inquiry and stated that his fortieth birthday anniversary would be celebrated within the next few days.
 The president then picked up the gavel, rapped on the table, called for attentionfi and said. "Gentlemen, We have at least one member who is loyal, why he would rather raise the age limit than cease being a member of this booster crew. Do I hear a second? Don't all spea kat once"
 The silence continued until another matter was taken up.

WORLD IS BECOMING BETTER.
Over 618,OOO Additions to The
Churches in 1913.

The note of depression that sound
ed last year after the publication of
DR.. Carroll's annual statistics for the
church is changed to quite the oppo-
site in the treatment of his tables
for 1919. The gains revealed are
most encouraging" observes lions
Herald (Boston), while the Presby-
terian Banner (Pittsburgh, thinks
they ''eloquently and convincingly
silence the contention that the church
is declining" The Lutheran bodies
show the most surprising advance in
the increase of 1,455 churches. The
Methodists report 496, the Baptists
1888, and the Catholics 375 A falling
off of 742 is credited to the Disciples
of Christ but Dr.. Carroll thinks this
may in part be explained by incom-
plete returns. From the statistical
standpoint six new churches for ev-
cry working day in the year must be
regarded AS an encouraging sign OF
progress, especially in a time when
consolidation and church unity are
preached as q remedy for the condi-
tions of some selections. The sum-
mary OF gains is given in DR.. Car
rolls b,lllelin. sent out from Wash
ington, and reported in many religi-
Gus wCeklies:
THE net increase of communicates
is widely distributed. The Methodist
bodies get nearly 100000 of it, the
Methodist Episcopal church having
the largest gain for many years; the
Roman Catholic church comes next
with 3l2 500, then the Baptists with
64,60s, the Presbyterians fourth with
45,649, the Lutherans fifth with &c.
100 and the Disciples of Christ sixth
with 21,824
The net gain is, on the average,
one and eight-tenths per cent, which
is fair increase. If only those de-
nominations which report increase be
included in the reckoning, the only
fair method, the percentage would be
considerably approaching two
per cent. AS matter of fact, 61S.-
600 is reported as the net increase
of bodies aggregating about 49,
100000.
