Religious Bodies in United States
Have Grown Substantially in Year.


Statistics issued this week by the
principal religious bodies in the
United States show an increase of
100000 in the total of nine large de-
nominations which were credited with
having 53.S00,00 communicates out of
the grand total of 27,725.O00 reported
for last year. When the complete
figures are compiled in February 1t Is
believed that the same substantial rate
of increase win be shown. The indica-
tons are that smaller organizations
are making relative progress.
The Presbyterian church this year
has gained n larger number of new
members than in any year in it's his
tory. The gains of other churches
for 1915 are: Catholics $1,000; Bap-
lists $4,000; Methodists 100000; Lu-
therans, 1000. Disciples so 900. and
Episcopalians 26.4OO. These figures
would indicate that of the more than
100, 600, 0CO inhabitants of the United
States about 100000 have church
membership.
1t is asserted that one factor in this
growth on tho Protestant side is due
to the development of various activ-
tiles among the laity, such as the
LavmGn'S Missionary Movement and
various efficiency organizations in
| which the members themselves help
the clergy in surveys and canvassing.
| Contributions for missions to the
various denominations have been un-
! usual large. The Protestant Episcopal
! church has raised S20.0OO,0O0 for its
| work and has exceeded its missionary
| apportiOnment. The Methodists pass
| ed the amoUnt which they hoped TO
! raise by s105.0fa. The Roman Catho-
| lies have been successful in obtaining
| abundant funds and they have re-
| Gently started to raise 100000 for a
| headquarters of the Knights of Co.
| iUmbus in New York city.
/ 20 H.
! to Christian associations, the Saliva
| ton Army and other agencies, have
! been very large. The Jews have re-
| Gently started a movement to raise
| funds for those of their race in wal
! stricken lands.
The Catholics have shown a growth
! in influence, and under the new Pope
! have increased their power in various
| European countries, including Eng
| land.
Most of the religious faiths are free
| from controversy. The Episcopalians
are debating stille the question as tc
whether or not their Board of Missions
| should have voted to send delegates tC
| the Panama Congress on Religious
work. The Presbyterians are still
! struggling with the perennial problem
of the orthodoxy of the Union Theo-
| logical seminary.
The literary output of the religious
| organizations has been unusually
| large. The printing of Bibles was the
| largest in the history of the world
! American publishers, in part because
of the war. have ever been selling
| copies of the Scriptures in England
| The American and British Foreign BIZ
bic Societies in 1915 have distributed
| he largest number of copies of HOLY
| Writ in their existence
The output of books on general re.
iigious subjects written by botf
clergymen and the devout laity, has
been unusually large. There has alsC
| been a notable increase in the pro.
duction of religious musical works

CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL
AT PARK CHURCH ENJOYED,
Gifts of the Children Will Bring Hap
piness to Seven Families.


The annual Christmas festival for
the Sunday school was held on Friday
afternoon in Park Congregational
church at $50 o'clock. As Miss Annie
Taft began playing o Come, All Ye
Faithful, the members Of the Sunday
school marched in from the chapel
rooms, bringing the Christmas gifts
which they had brought for the empty
tree. Two Christmas hymns. 1t Came
Upon the Midnight Clear and o Little
Town of Bethlehem, were sung and
prayer was offered by Rev. DIR. Howe.
A short address by DR.. Howe followed.
He spoke of Christ's idea of giving to
the poor and needy who could not pay
in return gifts, and quoted his own
words on this subject as our example
for doing the same. The story of why
the chimes rang also showed which
gifts God likes the best. The infant
class sang two carols, What Child is
This and Away in a Manger, and then
the superintendent, Weston c. Pullen,
spoke of the seven families to whom
the gifts brought were to be given
and asked the children to think Of their
JOY Christmas morning in the midst OF
their own. AS he called for the do
nations from the 10 classes a recita-
ton was given with each gift. Those
responding in this way were Mary
Tirrell, Philip Sayles, Stanley Vaughn,
Arthur Norton, Louise Norton, Nelson
Branche, John Fellows, Sadie Colt
Harold Prentice, Lucy Loring. Ralph
Marsh, Katherine Hampstead and q
group from the infant class. Many
| packages of good things filled the plat
form in front Of the lighted Christmas
tree and their CHEEKY decorations as
| we'll as the small tree already hung
with mysterious packages completed
| the effect of the church decorations in
evergreens and kept up the tradition
| of the wise men. The occasional was
| the hymn Onward, Christian Soldiers
and in the chapel each child received a
| box of candy. Eben Learned led the
singing.

The proposed increase in the fees Of

brought discussion and debate, and has
become a pretty live issue hereabouts.
The Norwich Central Labor union
voiced the sentiments of a considera-

proposed increase in fees of the mem

the same time it sent this communi-

consideration:
We, of the laboring and working
classes dare not ask our employers
for an increase of 80 1-3 per cent. in
vases and we must turn out finished
and perfect products to hold our po-

We seldom ask for an increase of
more than 20 per cent. in wages and
