and buy the kind of coal that will
keep you cool with the fewest
trips to the cellar. Try our coal
this year. You'll find it goes so
much farther than ordinary fuel
that when warm weather comes
around you'll have nice little
pile left to start the next season
on. That proves it's coal economy
to buy here.

are being made by the churches In

community during the past few years
Is responsible in a great measure for

The Methodist Episcopal Church
had its origin in a little structure
which stood at first on the Ridgewood
road near the corner of Jefferson ave-
nue.. The Baptists used 1t as place
Of worship as early as 1871. Later the
building was acquired by the Meth
odist Society, and finally moved to
Its present site on Lenox place In
1890. Here 1t underwent alterations
and enlargement. But the original
structure still stands, with wings AMI
extensions on all sides. and the cor

1911, Just 100 years after the first be-
ginning. and Is called the Morrow
Memorial for former pastor, John
I. Morrow. 1t Is pure Gothic, the ma
terlal being stone quarried from the
Orange mountain. The original plan
of the church contemplated the erec-
tion of q fully-equipped Sunday
school room and parish house at the

ANNUAL REPORT OF MEMBERS
OF ALL RELIGIOUS BODIES
Total Communicates 763o7s Greater Than in 1o13Seven
Denominations Have Over Three-fourths Of Aggregate

Of Christ. 1,ss3165; the Northern Bap-
/ tist Convention, 1,23S, 323, and the
Protestant Episcopal. 1,015.23S. These
seven denominations aggregate over
20 100000 members, or more than
three-fourths OF the entire aggregate
Of the 10 religious bodies.
The effects on church membership
OF the European war in narrowing the
stream of immigration were probably
quite small, as only the last five
months of the year were involved.
The immigration Of men to take part
In the great conflict would not be a
very large factor for the same reason.
The German bodies-Lutheran. Re-
formed, and the representatives OF
the Prussian State Church, all show
unusual gains for 1914.
The summary shows that the total
increase of ministers was 3,212, which
is unusually large, while the total In
crease of churches was AL, which is
unusually small
In making up the statistical report
of the churches it Is explained that Is
per cent. Is taken from the figures Of
the ''Official Catholic Directory Of
the Roman Catholic Church, in order
to arrive at an estimate OF the COM
municants of that church, inasmucb
as the Catholic figures are for popu-
lation, which includes also the uncon-
firmed baptized. or children who have
not been admitted to their first COM
munion. The rule of previous church
census reports. as well as this. has
been to give figures Of communicates
Of all bodies.
The figures for Jewish congrega-
tions are admitted TO be misleading as
they are those of the government
census of 1906. 1.-THE denomination
furnishes no statistics" the report
says, though there must be 700 900
or more" counting by heads of fam
lies, according to the Jewish rule.
For similar reason the 1906 figures. OF
estimate OF s5,0e6, are given for the
Christian Science Church, which since
1907 has furnished no returns of mem.
bers.
1t Is OF interest to observe that both
branches of the churches of Latter
Day Saints (mormon) report Sol, 200
members. with gain for the year Of
fifty churches and 5000 communicates.
There are also seventy-four Buddhist
temples with s,l65 members, chiefly
japanese and Chinese. The totaI
number OF ITO religious bodies are re-
ducible to about seventeen family
groups with q few small scattering

served In many of the churches Of the

Suggestion for the thoughtful

God has brought us into this time;
He, and not ourselves or some dark
demon. II we are not At to cope with
that which He has prepared for us,
we should have been utterly unfit for
any condition that we imagine for
ourselves. In this time we are to
live and wrestle, and in no other Let
us humbly, trembiingly. manfuliy look
at 1t. and we shall not wish that the
sun could go back its ten degrees or
that we could go back with It. If
easy times are departed, it is that
the difficult times may make us more
in earnest; that they may teach us not
to depend upon ourselves II easy
belief is impossible, 1t is that we may
learn what belief is and In whom II is
to be placed.-F. D, Maurice
