The fact Is that It takes a good, severe klok, to let some people know that a kick hurts when It Is energetically placed where It will give the best re sults. The full crew law has been passed to promote safety first. For the welfare of the public there Is noth ing so Impressive as that little motto. "Safety First." Let us bear In mind what It means, and what Its results may be, In falling to man trains prop erly and sufficiently. It means this: It Insures greater safety to train em ployes and to the passengers, tvho put their lives in the hands of the em ployes. Another fact which I want to call your attention to is of the bright red printed circulars, telling the pas senger how he was imposed upon by trainmen, through these laws, that re quired enough men to handle the train safely, has been shoved In the face of every traveler. The "Extra Crew Law" lias been shoved in the face of every man, woman and child who travels over these Eastern roads. The effort is this, to make the public believe there Is two crews on one train, of which there is not. There are six men to a crew, and one crew to a train, and that Is all we ask for. A new impression is that an extra man costs more than a railroad can earn by running a freight train. The railroads also claim they are not wanting to put hardships on their men. Some few years back, when they had what they called the Sl<-6 en gine they hauled as high as forty-live cars of 60,000 land SO.OOO capacity. We then had six men to a crew and one crew to a train. At the present day they have an engine they call the SK-9 superheater, and they haul 105 cars of 100,000. 110.000 and 140,000 capacity. Note the capacity of the cars and the amount of cars to a train. Note the difference, of which we still have six men to a crew and one crew to a train. l>oes this look us if they are putting hardships on their men? Now, on the other hand, if the full crew law was to be repealed, do you think It would be a promotion nf Safety First to have one braknman to a train of 105 cars, of which will be if the full crew law Is repealed? Does it look as if the rail roads have endorsed that great motto which they circulated so Immensely, called Safety First? Did the public ever see a railroad officer's special go over the road? If you have, you will perhaps have noticed that on every special they have a Full Crew on that train, along with any number of other "unnecessary" appurtenances that did not make tlie burden of expense on these roads any less! Did they ever lead any red ink notices calling atten tion to the cost the extra protection the officer needs when he travels, or an expression of concern because the ship per and passenger would have to pay for it? Oh. no: that's different. The public does not understand the dan gers, difficulties and responsibilities of railroad work, but get on a train, ride and get off, and that is all they know about the matter. The dear farmer sees the trains running by his farm, nnd he cannot realize that train work means much of anything, except a job of going along and. as he likes to ride on trains, he cannot see wherein there is either work or danger. The public does not know, and therefore T do not think that they should be hoodwinked in such a manner. MR. RAILROAD MAN. REVIVAL AT ROCKVILLE Special to The Telegraph Roekville. Pa., Feb. 26.

Latest Figures, While Often Guesses, Show About | jj 38.000,000 Church Members in United Slates (By The Religious 1 Jam bier.) C AINTLY souls that suck sweet * ness out of statistics will be do- 1 lighted by the optimistic report ipade for the year 1914 on behalf of the Federal Council of Churches by Henry K. Carroll, who estimates the numerical growth of the churches dur ing the year at 763.078 above 1913. These odd numbers rather bring a grin to the face of the careful reader of Dr. Carroll's elaborate tables, where so much is avowedly estimated. Again and again the statistics are qualified by their compiler as being estimated. Yet those odd 78 in the total of gains save the figures from the appearance of a sheer generalization. Many of the returns go back to the census of 1906, which, in turn often but esti mate the figures given. The serious consideration of the situation takes into account the im portant fact that the returns are only approximate. Certainly, they are no true index of the religious life of the nation, for they take no account of the spiritual vigor, but of merely numer ical membership. In these figures "Hilly" Sunday counts for just the same as a man whose name is on a churQh's roll, but who has not been inside the church door for a quarter of a century. Still the tables are useful. They give a good starting point for a dis cussion. They are doubtless approxi mately correct in showing that in round numbers, out of the one hun dred million persons in the United States, thirty-eight million are mem bers of some religious body. Church membership, as far as it may be as certained, is slowly increasing. A Wihlerness of Scots With dismay the thoughtful person discovers how thoroughly the religious life of America .is broken up into sec tarial divisions. Dr. Carroll finds no less than one hundred and seventy distinct denominational bodies with some form of separate ecclesiastical organization. Still others are outside of the returns, for even a specialist cannot keep up with America's re ligious multiplication by division. Some of the smallest of the denominations that are included are undoubtedly dead, so far as practical purposes go. No report has been received from them. Small bodies are the ones which split up oftenest. Of late years there has been no schism of a great de nomination. The'lesser sects are more easily rent asunder by purely per sonal causes. Somebody's fit of bad temper has been accountable for the formation of more than one new de nomination. Personal ambitions and jealousies and revenges enter into the creation of some of ,the organizations in what somebody has called our "sects and insects." It is significant that none of the small religious bodies in America hold any important ecclesiastical doctrinal principle which is not covered by some one of the ten larger bodies, if we include the Society of Friends with FEBRUARY 26, 1915. its distinctive principle in the latter. Xo Church Union In Sight One discouraging fact which emerges from this oomprehensive sur vey of religious conditions in Amer ica is that there is no project for church union apparently near consum mation. The Southern Presbyterian and United Brethren denominations declared for union in their highest courts, subject to ratification by the Presbyteries, .but this enterprise seems to be languishing and died from sheer lack of interest in it on the part of the church membership. There is still some discussion of the merging of the United Brethren and the Metho dist Protestants. Of the prospect of the union of the Methodism of Amer ica, or the Presbyterianism of Amer ica, or the Baptists of America, an ob server cannot make an optimistic re port. The bad temper which used to characterize denominational contro versies has almost wholly ceased, and there Is a general good will among the denominations one to another. Meantime the rule seems to be, ac cording to these reports, the Scripture is fulfilled, which says. "To him that hath shall be given," for it Is the larger denominations that grow. Three-quarters of the entire aggregate of church membership in the one hun dred and seventy religious bodies counted in are included in nine de nominations, each of which has a mil lion or more of members. As tabu lated by Dr. Carroll, these nine bodies, aggregating more than twenty-nine million members, are as follows: "Ro man Catholic. 13,794,637; the Metho dist Episcopal, 3,603,265; the Southern Baptist, 2,">92,217: the National Bap tist (colored), 2,018,863: the Metho dist Episcopal, South, 2,005,707: the Presbyterian, Northern, 1.412,198; the Disciples of Christ. 1,363,163; the North Baptist Convention, 1,238,323, and the Protestant Episcopal, 1,015,- 238." From these great denominations the roll dwindles down to such bodies as the "Six-Principle Baptists," which re port nine ministers, 13 churches and 731 members, and the "Old-Two- Seed-in-the-Spirit-Predestinariun Bap tists," with an estimate of 35 minis ters, 55 congregations tfhd 781 mem bers. The Catholic Figures Considerable difficulty is experienced in securing anything like exact figures for the Catholic bodies, although the report which the Federal Council is sues, says that the Roman Catholic Church has gained nearly a million and a quarter members since 1910, and more than live and one-half millions [since 1900. The tables give eleven : Catholic denominations. Most of these are to be found under the Eastern Or ithodox Catholic Churches: Armenian Apostolic, Russian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, Syrian Orthodox, Servian Orthodox, Roumanian Orthodox and Bulgarian Orthodox. Of the Western Catholic Churches two are given: Ro man Catholic and Polish Catholic. The total of the Eastern Catholic is less than half a million and the Polish but 18,000, while the Roman Catholic have more than 13,000,000. The fig ures for the last named body are taken from the "Official Catholic Di rectory." This publication, however, reports only "population, which in cludes both Communicants and un confirmed baptised. Dr. Carroll fol lows the rule adopted by the United States Census, and takes' fifteen per cent, from the Catholic population, and sets down the remaining eighty five per cent, as communicants. This is necessary to bring the figures more in line with those of other church bodies, which report only communi cants. Similar difficulty is fouird with the Jewish figures. No statistics are avail able, and the 1900 census gives only heads of families, which is the Jewish rule. It is estimated that there are more than seven hundred thousand adults connected with Jewish congre gations in the United States. With this report' the Protesant Episcopal Church has crossed the mil lion line, having gained 86,468 since 1910, and over 300,000 since 1900. The Methodist Episcopal Church, which ranks next to the Roman Catholic Church in size, gained 187,487 in 1914 and it has gained nearly 700,000 since 11900. | Acordin/r to Dr. Carroll's figuring the gain In the number of preachers during 1914 was double that of the year before, while the churches grow by less than half the increase of the previous year. The grand totals for the .church situation in America as , its report tabulates it, gives the membership at 38,708,149. Of individual congrega tions there are 225,613. And of min isters there are 178,290. Many of these ministers are not pastors, while those of others are each serving. two or more churches. Until a system of reporting has ben adopted by all denominations, and until all have learned to make reports, it will be impossible to know definitely the statistical status of religion in America. But the present showing is sufficient to , make plain that by no | means the entire population of he land is in church, and that there is still room for all zealous activities of the associated friends of Christians in the country. THE RELIGIOUS RAMBLER. Practice Economy in Ordinary Use of Eggs When the price of eggs is so high that economical women want to reduce this item on the grocery bills they will find many places in their cooking where half of the egg will do just as well as the whole and the other half can oe put away in a glass to be used in another way. The white of an egg will keep well for a week in a cool place, but the yolk does rot keep so I long. Even for a day. there should be water in the glass into which the yolk is dropped to prevent it from drying. For covering croquettes or any food which is to be rolled in cracker crumbs afterward, the white of the egg well beaten answers every purpose. The yolk alone would not be satisfactory. Thick ened gravy for milk toast, codfish and chipped beef gravy are much improv ed by the addition of the yolk, but the white is useless. There is so much rich ness in the -oik that it is a great sav ing in the butter used for seasoning. Many cake recipes call for either the yolk or the white alone. When the yolks nre left, two or three may be used in making a custard filling, with the addi tion of a cup of milk, half a cup of sugar, flour enough to make the custard the desired thickness, which will be about a tablespoonful, and flavoring. If the whites are left, one may be used in making the usual boiled frosting or by heating it and adding confectioner's sugar to make it the right consistency and flavoring.
