One of the new wells of the volu-

a circumference of almost three yards

than there was on it's deck. He told
the truth.
Only one boat was swung out on it's
davits by the crew of the Philadel-
chance more than a dozen or fifteen
people; it was swung out long time
before the war zone was reached.
Why? No one knew. 1t is as much
of puzzle today as it was the day that
the crew swung the lifeboat over the
water
It has been said of other voyages
that passengers on ships passing
through the Irish sea at night did not
go to bed, or If they did, they turned
in with their clothes on. There was
only one passenger on the American
liner who stayed up all. night through
the Irish sea, and he was a jolly. old
retired naval officer who had served
his time and who could not get over
the habit of staying on watch. This
old chap must be seventy-five years
old, but he showed up at the breakfast
table shining. roster and more gen.
orally wide-awake than any compan-
ion passenger
The night before the Irish sea was
entered an Englishman who was play
ing bridge and side talking about the
matter of stewards tips said:
Perhaps the only steward we must
tip will be the one waiting on Davy
Jones
England a Solemn Place.
This word from the Britisher was
about the only one heard from man
suggestive of any dread possibilities
from the sailing of the war-zone sea.
The women, as l have said, kept on
the subject of the war and Of danger
before turning-in time fifteen or TWEEN
ty of the woman passengers gathered
in a corner of the so-called social hall
and conferred together. There was
one woman in that throng of whom l
had the presumed right to ask ques-
tons, l inquired concerning the ma
ture Of the conference, and my answer
was, mo matter"
/ found out later, however. that the
women in solemn conclave had agreed
that it was safe to go to bed and to
turn in attired as they were ordinarily
attired on sleep occasions, and ito
pass the danger by" and with it all
thought of anything except safe
landing on the morrow.
One man / can say who was going to
sleep with his trousers on and with his
shoes exceedingly handy, turned in
wearing the usual habiliments of the
night, and tried, not altogether sue
cessfully, to Danish thoughts Of sub
marines and to WOO sleep after the
ordinary coaxing manner.
Liverpool was reached early in the
morning sea and it's submarines
were behind, but the war in its other
aspects was in front, and one knew 1t
the instant that foot was put on land.
England is solemn place, and shows
it in the step and in the faces Of the
people. A solemn place-and so must
be Germany and France and Russia.

Velvet for Little Girls.

Girls from twelve to fifteen are fol-

NEW York, Dec. 2i.--Religion. despite

Tess in this country and throughout
the world in the year 1915. Although
the churches entered upon Sthe year
much discouraged on account OF the dis
turbanee Of material thingB. they have
been making steady gains.
Some analysts OF the sftnation hid
that the minds of men are turned by the
tragedies OF the trenches and the bat
tlefronts 10 consider life ffomhe mere
serious point Of view. The yeSr 1910
will open with the hopes OF rsllaieus
leaders fixed on still greater friittion
for their work.

total of nine large Denominations which
were credited With having 80 800, 90

the complete figures are compiled in

substantial rate of increase will be
shown. The indications are that small

progress
The Presbyterian Church this year has
gained larger number of new r1em-
bers than in any year In its history. .s
The Catholics have shown q growth
in influence, and under the new Pope
have Increased their power in various
European countries. including England.
Most OF the religious faiths are free
from controversy. The EplscopalIans
are debatlng stlll the question as to
whpther or not their board OF missions
should have voted to send delegates to
the Panama Congress on Religious
work. The Presbyterians are still strug-
Cling with the perennial problem Of the
orthodoxy of the Union Theological
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 even been selling copies of the
Scriptures in England. The American
and British Foreign Bible Societies in
1915 have distributed the largest num-
Der OF copies of Holy Writ in their ex-
lstence.
The output of books on general re-
ligious subjects written by both clergy
men and the devOut laity, has been un-
usually large. There has also been q
notable increase in the production OF
religious musical works.
