President Dean spoke about the State convention, Harrisburg, July, 1916. after which he introduced the Rev. Dr. Francis E. Clark, of Boston, | who delivered an address on "The I Significance of Christian Endeavor j Week." He said, in part: "I have been in Harrisburg more than any other convention city and not : ane time too often. I want to come ! again. Your Christian Endeavor Union : has been generous In the offering for I missions. I cannot help but think of ; the martyred President Lincoln and j Fanny Crosby, the great hymn writer, j who was with us at the international | convention at Atlantic City three years j ago. I had hoped to have her at the world's convention. Chicago, In July. She was one of the most useful women in the world. C. E. is 34 Years Old "Christian Endeavor was organized j thirty-four years ago in Williston j Church, Portland, Maine, with a few | persons in the company. It spread to 1 Ceylon three years after, and then to | many other countries. Last year was j the best year in tis history of the I line of progress. Chicago, Pittsburgh I and other places are far greater than I ever before. The purpose of Christian j Endeavor week is to take a new en thusiasm and look forward for a great ' spiritual uplift. I congratulate von I on the coming of the state convention ' and invite you to the world's conven- I tlon at Chicago. Adopt Peace Pledge The peace pledge was recited and i adopted by the Endeavorers. It is as follows: "As a follower of the Prince ol Peace I will seek to promote good will among men and peace on earth; I will work as I have opportunity toward the abolition of war and will endeavor to cement the fellowship of people of all nations and denominations through out the world." The Harrisburg Christian Endeavor Choral Union, under the leadership of J. Frank Palmer, rendered a selec tion entitled "Crown Him King of Kings."

H.\KRJSBURG TELEGRAPH CHURCH MEMBERSHIP MEASES 763,078 | Grand Total in United States Over 38 Millions; Nine Denomina tions Have a Million A total membership increase of 763.078 in the churches of the United States during 1914 is shown by the report of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, giving statistics prepared by Dr. H. K. Car roll. An average increase of 2 per cent. Is shown. New communicants or members added made good all the losses by death, expulsion or with drawal and left the surplus of nearly three-quarters of a million. The report is in part as follows: The grand total of members is now 38.708,149. Baptists gained 122,125; Eastern Orthodox churches, 36,600; the Roman Catholic Church, 136,850; the Lutherans, 50,248; the German Evangelical Synod, representing the state church of Prussia. 29.315; the Methodists. 231,460; the Presbyterians, 56,019; the Protestant Episcopal Church. 28,641. Gains in l.aM Ten Years The Protestant Episcopal Church has crossed the million line, having gained 86,468 since 1910 and over 300,000 since 1900. The Roman Catholic Church lias gained nearly a million and a quarter since 1910 and more than live and a half millions since 1900. The Methodist Episcopal Church, the second largest denomination, gained 187,487 in 1914 and nearly 700.000 since 1900. The thirty churches constituting the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America report nearly 17,500,000 members, somewhat less than half of the aggregate for all de nominations, with 103,000 ministers and nearly 139,000 churches. These bodies have a net increase of over 500,000 members, or more than two thirds of the entire increase of all bodies. Nine Have Over a Million There are nine denominations which have a million and upward—the Ro man Catholic. 13,794,637; the Meth odist Episcopal. 3.603,265; the South ern Baptist. 2,592,217; the National Baptist (colored), 2,018,868; the Meth odist Episcopal, South, 2,005,707; the Presbyterian, Northern, 1,442,498; the Disciples of Christ, 1,363,163; the Northern Baptist Convention, 1,238,- 323, and the Protestant Episcopal, 1,015,238. These seven denominations aggregate over 2 9,000.000 members, or more than three-fourths of the entire aggregate of the 170 religious bodies. | The effects on church membership <">f the European war in narrowing jthe stream of immigration were prob- I ably quite small, as only the last five months of the year were involved. ! The emigration of men to take part in ! the great conflict would not be a very | large fatcor for the same reason. The I Herman bodies. Lutheran. Reformed land the representative of the Prussian state church, all show unusual gains for 1914. On the other hand, Roman Catholic gains are quite small. Total increase of ministers was I 3,212. which is unusually large, while the total increase of churches was 1,441, which is unusally small. METHODIST Ridge Avenue—The Rev. John H. Daugherty.

TO MEET The Junior Christian Endeavor of the Covenant Presbyterian Church will have a special meeting Monday even ing in the church at 7 o'clock. One of the features will be the making of "scrapbooks" by the young folks. IT'S peculiar sometimes how many excuses we offer to oursdves to justify our neglect for not doing those tilings which we know we should. And the least of these is not by any means our attitude to ward church attendance. We can't go we say, because the hours of services are not convenient. Yes, we would like to go, but 10:30 or 11 A. M. and 7 P. M. are incon- j venient for us. Under any other conditions we would be present. This advertisement is not meant to convince you that you can be pres ent at those services. That you must decide. If you really want to go to church, you may find after all that you can get there. > Did you ever realize that all services held in the churches on Sunday are held in the worship of Him who gave His Son that through Him the world might be savedl And those services are not limited to just the two mentioned. Starting early in the morning, and a church service being held at almost every hour of the day from early morning until evening, there is a church service being held somewhere in Harrisburg that you can attend• GO TO CHURCH United Brethren Churches to Observe College Day College day will be observed to-mor row by all theUnlted Brethren churches of the East Pennsylvania Conference. All the Harrisburg churches will have special services. The offering will be devoted to the upbuilding of Lebanon Valley College. At Derrv Street United Brethren Church, Fifteenth and Derry streets, the special exercises will be held in the morning. In place of the regular sermon by the pastor, the Rev. Dr. J. A. Lyter, three of the prominent lav men of the congregation will discuss the different phases of "Christian Ed ucation." The speakers will be J. E. Gipple, superintendent of the Sunday school; 11. 1.. Carl, a teacher of the big men's Bible class, and E. S. Xiss ley, president of the official board. Dr. Lyter will preach in the evening. Four Ministers to Preach on Abraham Lincoln Four pastors will preach sermons about the life of Abraham Lincoln to morrow. They are: The Rev. A. S.
