The largest gain, AIS. is reported by
the Roman Catholic church; the Bap-
lists aC led ~365, the Lutherans 159,
and other bodies smaller numbers.
DIR. Carroll presents a new chapter,
indicating the distribution of COM
municants and population of the chief
world communions of Professionalism.
The Anglican communion has an es
timated population of 26,758,00 in
the world. the Baptist of 21,000,000.
the Congregationalist of 4,355, 900, the
Lutheran Of 7o,500.oo0, the Methodist
of 32,413,000. and the Presbyterian
and Reformed of 3o,80O.0o0. 1t is
shown that the prevailing estimates of
the strength of Professionalism are far
too low, and that nearly, if not quite
200. 100000 are Protestant members
and adherents
Returns for Sunday schools in the
United States for 1916 show a much
larger aggregate of Sunday school
scholars than any previous report has
given, and that the net increase in
the last ten years is more than g.
100000, with a gain of between Is 900
and $4,000 schools.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1917-03-01

A compilation by the Foreign Trade
department of the National City bank
of New York shows that nearly So
900, 900 worth of motion picture films
made in the United States were sent
to foreign countries, and our own col
onies and over $1,000. 900 worth of
foreign films were imported during
the calendar year 1916. The exports
of the year are the largest in the his
tory of this comparatively new fea-
lure of our international trade. They
totalled in the calendar year 1916
24,51s.Ss0 feet. equivalent to over
$4,000 miles, and the imports, A.
sT2,214 feet, agsregating about 5000
miles. thus justifying the statement
that the length of the films passing
through the customs house of the
country in the full calendar year, was
sufficient to stretch twice around the
globe at the equator. and that four
fifths of this enormous total was
American films exported.

WIVES AGAIN.

A friend of ours came home one
day last spring with a large, dur
able wife. She had long nose
and a short upper lip; a beard, a
mole. a mustaci1e and a jaw, ladies
and gentlemen, that would make
chunk of chilled steel green with
envy.
About the same time another
friend trooped in with a small,
compact. two gill creature who
fiddled. F'iddling and dawdling
over everything she did was her
speciality. Nero fiddled while
Rome was burning. She fiddled
while the potatoes were doing the
same thing.
Now we struck a middle ground.
We got one neither tall nor short
dawdling nor adamant. iron nor
mush. We took her on in cold
blood, after due consideration. She
fits. And we don't expect to take
her off in Reno.
We favor the three-quarter
length wife.

GROWTH OF THE CHURcHEs

The churches of the United States
have not suffered financially from the
European war and the increased cost
of living, nor has their ordinary rate
of growth been reduced the past year
The Year Book of the Federal Coun-
ell of the Churches of Christ in Amer
lea for 1917, edited by DIR. H. K. Car
roll, gives full statistics, showing that
the religious bodies, Catholic. Protes-
tant and Eastern Orthodox, had in
1916 an aggregate of over 4O,00O,Oo0
COMMITMENTS or members, crossing
the forty million mark by about IT,
900. The net increase of the year
was $4,000, or 2O4,00O more than
the increase for 1915. In 1890 the
total religious strength was 2e,s1s,oO0,
so that in twenty-six years following
the net increase has been 1e.3e9.OoO
or "a per cent. while the gain in the
population of the country for the same
period has been about SO, 200, 900 or Ell
per cent. The churches therefore
gained faster than the population.
OF the gains in 1915, about 5000
were of the Roman Catholic and some
! oSN'SNV u <lho ITOI6Slant DOQ1eS.
Among the latter. 10000 are credited
to the Methodist. 1926 to the Bap
fist, and upward of 10000 to the
Presbyterian and Reformed group.
The Episcopal church had a gain of
$1,000. and the Lutheran bodies of
10000.
The thirty constituent bodies of the
Federal Council report a total of IT,
$4,000 communicates, a gain in 1916
of about 254, 900
The gain in 1916 in number of
churches was small. only III In the
previous year, however, there was a
net loss. The smallness of the increase
this year is due to decreases reported
by several denominations and deno1ni-
national groups.
The gain in ministers is 2.643,
which is nearly double that of 1915.
