erals and the other elements necessary
to the support of life operate, not
singly and alone, but in beautiful or
der and in perfect harmony with each
other, in answering obedience to a
fixed law.
Calcium, commonly known as lime,
combines with phosphorus, magne-
sium, silicon, and fiuorine in the de-
velopment of the bones and teeth. If
the quantity of calcium required by
the body in the construction of its
bones and teeth is reduced the bones
and teeth suffer.
We have seen that millions of chill
dren in the United States are suffering
with defective teeth. These defective
teeth are the direct result of the in
ability of the body to obtain, in their
proper form and in their proper COM
bination, the calcium, magnesium,
PHOSPHORUS, and fluorine necessary
to the construction of normal teeth,
either because these mineral sub
stances have been removed from the
food of the children or because they
have been consumed with other foods
of kind that destroy them and re-
move them from the body
Chickens obtain the f1uorine re-
quired for the production of their eggs,
il they have chance to pick up a
fined in wooden henhouse and fed
on food containing no fluorine they
easily develop chicken cholera and
chicken diphtheria.
The yoke of the egg requires fuor-
inc. The productive enamel of the
| teeth requires fiuorine. The bones of
the spine require f1uorine. The pu-
pills of the eye require fiuorine.
Silicon possesses powerful antisep-
| tic properties There is good reason
to believe that in the establishment OF
normal resistance to disease it assists
the body to defend itself against the
| invasion of many of the organisms
which cause disease.

tenn to perform it's functions normally

the corresponding gifts were $21, l63,-
! 1S9, which represents an increase of
62.S per cent.
Noteworthy as this advance in bene-
VIOLENT giving, it is less remarkable
than the fact that in the same year
S11, 5,517 were given for all branch
es of foreign missionary work, or an
increase of S7.5 per cent.
With its famous Zest for figuring
things out to decimals, the Laymen' S
Missionary Movement has worked
these tables out into the proportion of
giving by the average member every
week, which shows that sixteen cents
is the average contribution per MEM
Der to local church expenses, and this
is an increase of IL per cent. during
the decade. For all kinds of mission
ary and benevolent work, Mr.. Average
Church Member gives 81 per cent,
which. however, was an increase of 80
per cent.
Only those who have occasion to
keep tab upon church affairs know
how difficult it is to gather reliable
statistics. and they best understand
the value of the compilation made by
the Laymen's Movement.
Some Growing Communions
The most surprising advances In
church membership during the decade
were achieved by the Southern Bap-
| lists and Northern Methodists. In
1904 there were 1,S32.63S members
of the Southern Baptist Convention
reported. Ten years later this had
increased to 2,5SS,63S. In the same
time the Northern Baptist Conven-
ton had made substantial progress
from 1 1,121s474 to 1,336,051.
The Methodist Episcopal Church
which is the largest in the country
grew from 2,S53,305 to 3,510, 402. The
Methodist Episcopal Church, South
which is somewhat smaller, grew by
nearly a half a million members: to
be exact from 1,593,S36 to 2,O45, ,047
In the half million class also is the
Northern Presbyterian Church, which
| increased it's membership from 1870
939 to l, 1,47S,603. The Southern Pres
byterian Church added almost hun
dred thousand members in the decade
or from 246,769 to 332,3S9.
| More than one hundred thousand
new members were taken in during
the decade by the Lutheran General
Council. which jumped from 3S6, 132
to 5O4,023. In the same period the
Lutheran General Synod added 26,00C
to it's membership in 1914 or 24S,5O
The Congregationalists lacked ter
thousand of increasing by one hun
dred thousand their membership in
1914, being 763,1S2.
The Protestant Episcopal church
climbed up from S04,30S members to
point just a little this side of the
million mark-and which has since
been passed. The figures in 1914 were
9S6, 6,6O7.

been called the most sensitive in al
organization, and by this token thai

expenses at home and abroad by {

Fourteen Denominations Increase
One Fourth Within Decade
Detailed Figures From Leading Communions Give
Authentic Basis For Study of Progress
By THE RELIGIOUS RAMBLER
By THE RELIGIOUS RAMBLER

Definite evidence that the churches
in America are making a steady and
strong growth has been gathered by
the Laymen's Missionary Movement
for presentation to it's meetings. An
elaborate table of figures shows that
the membership of fourteen denomi-
nations increased more than % per
cent. within q decade, and that the
gifts of the churches grew twice as
fast.
| The year-to-year figures of church
progress, especially when presented in
January, are so largely made up of
estimates" that they are frequently
challenged, and certainly cannot be
accepted as basis for absolute de-
ductions.
| The gathering of statistics is slow
and the movement of church life also
Is gradual, and it is too general to
be accurately summarized for any
| brief period. So the careful compila-
| ton put out by the Laymen's Move
ment, showing the actual progress of
fourteen leading denominations in the
decade from 1904 to 1914, is more
useful than partial later returns could
| be.
The progress made since 1914 has
APPARENTLY been even greater than in
the preceding years. So that the
church really has reason for optimism
If the statistical tables may be ac-
cepted as a safe index, the denomina-
tions included in the survey are as
follows:
Baptist. Northern Convention; Bap-
tist Southern Conventions; Congrega-
tional; Disciples of Church.; Lutheran
II Synods; Methodist Episcopal;
Methodist Episcopal, South; Presby-
terian in the u. s. A. (Northern)
Presbyterian in the U. S. (Southern)
United Presbyterian; Protestant Epis-
copal: Reformed in America; Re-
formed in United States and United
Brethren.
These represents a total communi-
cation membership of 16, 6,462.102, and
| l2S,244 separate congregations.
% Per Cent. Growth
In any study of church progress, the
natural first question concerns the
growth of membership. If the church
is not increasing in members, no other
fgures can be accepted as of any very
great Importance.
The fourteen denominations named
increased in this given decade 3,333,-
S94 new members, or a fraction over
25 per cent. The proportion of pro-
gress in the creation of new congrega-
tons was not so great, showing that
there has been letup in the era OF
church building and pioneer home
mission work, owing to the more set
tied conditions of America. The in
crease in the number of congregations
is given as 1913 per cent.
Because the Laymen's Movement
stresses the financial aspect of church
work it has figured out the proper.
tionate increase in gifts. Thus, in
| 1914 these fourteen denomination
gave for local church expenses, in.
