IN THE REALM OF RELIGION
Churches Sh0w Normal Increase
By Reports for Past Year

working with the cooperation or
an advisory committee composed of
Washington clergymen and laymen,
Dr. II. *. Carroll, of this city, for
merly in charge OF the government
census or churches. has prepared the
annual bulletin of statistics of the
churches of the United States which will
be published by the Federal Council
OF the Churches of Christ In America.
The advance proofs of the bulletin
show the total membership of the
churches to have been 765,eTS greater
on December 81, last, than il was at
the end of 1913.
This is an average increase OF > per
cent for all bodies great and small
Christian and non-Christian. The new
municants or members added made
good all the losses by death, expuI-
sion or withdrawal, and left a surplus
of nearly three-quarters of a million
The grand total of members is now
3S.I0S,149. All the larger denomina-
lons share in the increase Baptists
gained 122,l25; Eastern Orthodox
churches. $4,000; the Roman Catholic,

German Evangelical Synod. represent
ing the State Church of Prussia, 29,-
3l5; the MethOdists. 31.46O; the Pres
byterians, 56,019; the Protestant Epis-
COpal Church. 2S,64l
The Protestant Episcopal Church
has crossed the million line, having
gained S6.46S since 1910, and over
3OO,OOO since 1900
The Roman Catholic Church has
gained nearly a million and a quarter
since 1910 and more than five and 4
half millions since 1900.
The Methodist Episcopal Church
the second largest denomination, gain
ed lS',4S1 in 1914 and nearly 7OO, 900
since 1900
The thirty churches, constituting
the Federal Council of the Churches
of Christ in America. report, as will
be seen, nearly 100000 members,

When man has reached that point. he

which is meditation and worship: he has
nothing to ask for. in this world or in

brought into active manifestation as the
agents of that VIII perfect themselves I'm
the work.
During Lent days will be set apart by
the Churches as days of prayer that the
war now devastating Europe shall cease
and peace be arranged that will be last
ing. Would we make that prayer effec-
tive? Then let it be strong and definite
and without doubt OF it's success Let
the prayer be without prejudice, for all
nations stand in the same relation to
God. As members Of a neutral power
formed of a brotherhood of States, whose
hearts are not inflamed with the passion
of blood and strife, We should construct
a thoughtfOrm Of such strength and in
tensity as will disintegrate the dark cloud
of hate that is now hiding the fair face
of Europe. The minds OF the thoughtful
concentrated in prayer to definite and
proper end is 4 force Of incalculable value
to the angels in their work of turning
the hearts of the war leaders to thoughts
of peace. Not only does the prayer aid
the invisible ones I'm their deeds of mercy
but the effort reacts to the lasting bene-
fit Of the supplicant. Therefore let us
pray and add our mite to the great Spir-
itual reservoir that is now building for
the helping of all nations and the MAX
ing the path straight for the Great World

Berlin. Feb. I3.-How a Belgian shell
made it necessary for German soldiers
to punish spy, Is told by one who
took part in the fighting near EIewyt
in Flanders, two miles west OF Eppe-
CHAM. The village of EIewyt had
been destroyed. the lighting was very
hot and the Germans found 1t difficult
to advance. The enemy's artillery had
much better success than usual. No
body knew why. 1t must be an accf-
dent. because there was nobody in the
destroyed and deserted village.
Then an officer happened to look at
the church spire of EIewyt. There
were the hands of the clock-moving.

they showed exactly where the shots
lay that fell into the German lines.
The clock that at other times had told
the villagers when il was time to start
work and to quit work, was now di-
TectinS the fire of battle.
When the Germans ran toward tho
church. a tall, silent man came out Of
the tower: the parson Of Elewyt It
was an accident that had brought him
into the spirc. 1t was an accident that
the hands of the clock had been paint

the hands of the clock just to find out.
whether the clock. damaged by shots

And while he was still protesting his
innocence. a Belgian she'll, no longer

came along and killed the parson Of
Elewyt and two German soldiers stand

FAMOUS WOMAN, Her
BIRTHDAY and YOURS
February l4-Anna Shaw, Esther
johnson.
By MARY MARSHALL.

Anna Shaw. one of the most clo-
quent. il not the most eloquent OF
women speakers of the present time.
was born on St Valentines Day,
sixty-eight years ago today. at New
castle-on -the-Tyne. England. In spite
of her English parentage, she is prac-
tically an American, for she was but
four years of age when she arrived
In this country with her father and
mother. She early showed signs or IN
usual intellectual ability and at n
time when few women had the advan-
tage of a college education she was
graduated from Albion College, Mich
igan. When she was thirty-one years
of age she was graduated from the
theological department of the Boston
University and seven years later she
was granted Il local preachers license
by the Methodist Church. Although
she later served as pastor of a church
for several years she was refused or
dtnation by her denomination on ac-
count of her sex. Eventually she was
ordained by the Methodist Protestant
Church, being the first woman to re-
ceive ordination in that denomination.
DIR. Shaw's interest in the womans
suffrage question greatly increased as
time went on, until eventually she re-
signed from the pulpit to devote her
entire time to work as a suffrage lee
turer. She has also been deeply in
terested in the temperance movement
in this country.
DR.. Shaw has spoken in every State
of the Union. before many State leg
islatures and before committees Of
both houses OF the United States Con-
gress. Throughout this country she is
much admired by both men and wom-
en-. by all factions. for her sincerity
and for her rare eloquence which she
has so generously given to the causes
in which she believes
Very different from DR.. Shaw is the
other patron of this day, Esther John
son. who played a not altogether en-
viable role in the life of Dean Swift.
