e.f the year, since W of every 14 of It,

nected with the churches.

The United PUtee and Canada Inure ased
their gifts last year to foreign missions
by tl.KS.000, running ail up to a total of
tIS.7Sii.9u. hy far toe largest amount of
any cation, and the largest one that the 1
United (States and Canada ever gave.
Siome mission gifts were also laiger
than the exceeding t.ou0.000. and the
t2,QOO,0GC.OQ0 Invested la church properties
took last year tUS OOO.OOO to maintain work
and worship In them.
The striking feature of the year was the
work done by the Church unity people.
The pope addressing a Protestant gath
ering, and doing so In the way that Pope
Benedict XV did at the end of 1915. and
read at a meeting of unionists at the
sery opening of 1?1. pleased Catholic
and Protestants alike. It ta agreed that
unity plapa among Christian are more
promising than they have been since
disunion began back In the Middle Ages.
A second striking feature, due to the
war and brought about In 1S15, was the
manufacture and sale of Uiblea In the
United Statee In larger numbers than ever
before, and their sale In countries hereto
fore supplied by Kngland. Along with the
ale of Bible was also the aale abroad
of Christinas muslo that was composed
and printed In America. The war In 191i
shanged completely the sacred muslo
market and to a large extent religious
lieratur giving America the lead as the
war has helped to do in so many other
lines.
