Eulogize Fanny Crosby
A. C. Dean, president of the Har
risburg Christian Endeavor Union,
presided over the evening session and
the Rev. J. B. Markward, pastor of
Bethlehem Lutheran Church, con
ducted the devotional exercises.
Announcements were made that
State Secretary Macrory's mother, of
Pittsburgh, and Fanny Crosby, the
well-known hymn writer, aged 94
years, of Bridgeport, died. The En
| deavorers sang the hymn written by
Miss Crosby entitled "Blessed Assur
| ance," in memory of the two persons.
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."

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.

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•

toward worship becomes dignified and
