There are four churches In Africa, one
In Asia, one In the t'htltpplne Islands, four
In Australia, six In Germany, one In the
Channel Islands, three In Ireland, three
In Scotland, one In Wales, two In Holland,
one In Italy, two in Switserland, one in

in Panama, one in Porto Rico, and two In
the Argentine Republic. There are fifty
churches In England proper. In the t'nlted
States and Canada there are S.7G6 prac
ticing healers. There are 296 In foreign
countries. Healers are registered In prac
tically every, country. In the northern hem
isphere. Every state In the union has at
least one Christian Science church. The
approximate value of edifices belonging
to the Christian Scientists In America
alone Is t28.oo0.00i.
Eflwesul fharch Growth.
Official figures of the Episcopal church
for 110 are Just published and show a
growth In membership for the year of I
per cent, which Is normal. The member
ship Is now reported to be 4S.!d2, wKIi
contributions for all purposes laat year
of tl8.SU.S0S. This la 119 50 per communl-
1 1
and this number Increased by only 780
last year. Compared with communicants.
It lx among the loweet of any relielous
body, hardly half the proportion of Meth
odists. Presbyterians and Congregatlonal
ials. The number of Sunday school teach
ers Is reported to have decreased last year
by 1N0. The number of clergymen Increased
by twenty-seven, which Is Kinall.
A feature of the report Is the unusual
number of new bishop for the ear.
These are nn fewer than nine. One of
theee, the diocese of Krle. a new one. was
made by division of the dloceee of Pitts
burg, and another, the diocese of Rhode
Island, elects to fill a vacancy by death.
The other seven represent advances on the
mission fields, where new men have been
chosen. In most cases for new districts
Of these districts only one Is In a foreign

, Few Family Bibles Houaht.
The old family Bible haa ceased to be a
good seller. Nowadays people will not
apend the money for It. When they buy
Bibles they get paper or cloth-covered ones
that sell for from 17 cents to tl. Recent
generations have refused to pay 110 or $18
for a ponderous old book with the silk
markers that used to etand on the center
tables carefully covered with a dolly
often remove.! only on special occasions.
Statistics obtained from the records of the
American Bible society show that theie
are 4,500 fewer big Bibles sold a year now
than there were twenty years ago.
With the time-honored, leather-covered
family Bible going out of date, the ques
tion arises: Are the 'American people
growing less religious? The officers of
the Ulhle society say not aud display fig
ures to show that the Bible Is still the
best seller. They add that the society
sold 1H0.0D0 more Bibles this year than It
did last. It Is only, because of the Increase
In sales of cheap' paper or cloth-bound
Bibles of pocket size that the world ran

formeily.
Catholic tani iu Ureal Hrllala.
Some Interesting statistics of the Catholic
. church in Great Britain are given In the
t nu' numh., ef tK. "C.thnlif. Illr.itnrv ' '
which Is edited by Monslgnor Jackmao, pri
vate secretary to Archbishop Bourne. It is
estimated that the members of this church
i under the British flag number not less
' than 12.15u.0O0, of which Canada claims
I 2,..00 All told, here are 1W sees In
cluding tne provisional vicariates of which
1 forty-one are In British Asia, where It
i will surprise some to learn that Cat hollos
j number some 2.166.000. There are I.StB
Catholic clergy in these islands, or an in
; crease of sixty-tour upon laat year; but
I these Include the secular priests. Seven
teen new churches have been built during
the year." five of which are In the diocese
of Westminster. In matters educational
and charitable the year has been one of
progreaa, but the Bishop of Northampton,
preaching at the opening of the new year
at " Norwich, look occasion to refer to
the pressing need that there Is for educa
tive associations, to grapple with the ad
vance of socialism.
Status of St. Cecelia.
St. Cecilia was made the "patroness" of
church music without any apparent reason,
for the casual expression "canjantlbus or
ganla" In her legend merely refers to the
playing of wind Insiruments at her wed
ding. PoFsibly the antlphons of her festival
wrought upon the Imagination of the mid
dle ages, and so brought about her con
nection with sacred music. The anniver
sary of this young Roman matroa suddenly
sprang Into' immense popularity with us
toward. the close of the seventeenth cen
tury and is associated with the mighty
names of Purcell, Drytlen, Pope, Addison
and Handel. It haa been revived of recent
years by the Worshipful company of -Musicians,
led by Sir Frederick Bridge.
Colleges la "Uelehe waa.
An appeal is being made .for ISO .000 to
complete the sum needed for the erection
of a divinity college for Sackatcliewan. It
la stated that at the present time forty
six young men are being trained for the
ministry In Emmanuel college. Saskatoon,
and this numher a 1 1 1 shortly be raired to
sixty.
"The present college l ulldings consist of
a group of wooden 'shacks,' or huts. The
first year men . sleep' five In; a hut. "the
senior men have little roughly-partitioned
ceils about five feet hy eight. The' lecture
rooms and dining room are larger shacks.
Two tutors live In shacks also. One pump
provides the entire water supply of the
whole party. There Is no common, room
and the men have nowhere to sit except In
the lecture rooms or their bunks. They
have no privacy. There Is no sick room.
Sanitary arrangements are primitive. The
picture Is complete If we remember the
Severity of the Canadian winter. The col
lege is the only institution In Saskatoon
remaining In this very rough j state."
