ENGLISH CATHOLIC GAIN
CATHOLIC GROWTH IN ENGLAND
ONE PER CENT OF WHOLE Ev-
cry NINE YEARS.
tBy N. C. w. c. News service.)

tBy N. c. w. G. News Service.)
Catholics in England have been in,
creasing for some years past at the
rate Of per cent of the total popu,
lation in every nine years, according
to A. II. MAXWELL, who writes on
THE Prospects of Catholicism in
England" in a recent issue of The
Tablet.
If only middle England can be won
for the faith, says the writer, it is
certain that, humanity speaking, the
reconquest of the. rest of the country
will be only a matter of time.
"The great danger he declares, sis
divided England, predominantly
Catholic in the north and quite as
predominantly Protestant in the
south, with the doubtful exception of
Westminster And the most urgent
need of the moment, perhaps even
more urgent than the conversion of
London, is to win and hold the cor
lridor. Especially On the archdiocese
of Birmingham does the whole situa
tion depend" .-
Figures from the latest Catholic di-
rectory are shown which indicate the
numbers of conversions for one year
in the different provinces as follows:
Liverpool, 1875; Hexham, 455; West
minister, 419; Middlesborough, 372;
Stafford, $50: Birmingham, 294; Ports
mouth. 25S; Shrewsbury, ESQ; Brent

SHORTAGE OF MINISTERS
REPORT EXPLAINS LACK OF
EPISCOPAL CLERGYMAN
RECRUITS.

The Episcopal Church in the United
States faces a real problem through
the steady decrease in the number of
recruits for the ministry, a commits
sion appointed to investigate the sub
ject declared in a report just made
public. This situation the commits
sion stated, lis more grave than seems
to he the case with other religious
bodies"
The seriousness of our case is
heightened" the report says, "by the
interplay of two facts: that our MEM
bership is increasing more rapidly
than the average, while at the same
/ time our ministry Is increasing much
less rapidly than the average. 1t means
that we are pressing more quickly to-
| ward the critical moment when there
will be so few ministers that our
whole growth and work will be men
aced."'

 three feet in breadth. The beams were
 squared S-inch timber with studs to
 match, and the runners were a foot
 wide. For. drawing it there were two
 great tongues at the forward end. An extra hard shelled member of the
 parish had been rendered unusually | benevolent as the result of an especially affecting prayer meeting. While thus softened up. he had promised to give the parson the biggest load of wood that could be drawn rom his lot. The i story goes on to tell, that this unex-
