MILLIONS JOINED CHURCH LAST 25 YEARS Encouraging Report Issued By American Federal Council; of Churches In a bulletin of church statistics. published by the Tederal Council of ; the Churches of chrij;t fn America, it jls pointed out that the total net gala of commrnicants for 1915 was 633,640, which is not nearly as large" as that for 1914, the falling off amounting to more than-1 28.0OO. ; ' The increase of ministers', says the : report, isly no means discouraging. although less than half that of 1914 In part, the report continues as fol lows: "Part of this difference is due to a decrease among the Lutherans of near ly 11,000. The explanation of this con siderable decrease . where substantial gains have, appeared ; hitherto. Js not ' al hand, but it js . not unlikely due Jn part to iauuy statistics. . . k "A decrease Tin Lutheran churches or nearly tuuu may tie aunouieq large ly to the same cause. There Is good reason to believe .that the Disciples of Cbrltt bad a good year in 1915, but unfortunately they were not able to report, any figures for the past year. up to January 22, and those of 1914 are used.' : The apparent loss of over 11,000 members and 150 churches , by the Cumberland Presbyterians is prob ably to be, accounted for by nioTe accu rate , returns.' 1 V'.y:' v "The fact that the gi and lotal sliow'j an actual loss instead of the' usual pet gain Of more than 150 churches is worthy of careful study. One large body, the Southern Baptists, reports neither gain nor loss of churches, and yet it had an increase of communi cants of over 116,000. Probably the closing - or - consolidation of rural churches is an important factor. r "The advance of the churches in the quarter century since 1890 should le .accepted, it would appear, as dis tinctly encouraging.

Ebersole will take up one of the most interesting and important discussions in his entire repertoire when he faces the Men's Bible classes at the Y. M, C. A. Next Tuesday even ing, "What Jesus Teaches About Death" will be the topic of the evening. Everyone has to face death at some time. And yet there are few subjects on which there is greater divergence of opinion. It has been the source of almost endless discussion among peo ple of various nations and beliefs. The Christian pins his faith 'on what Jesus Christ says about ' death an J how to so. live as to prepare for-it The subject does not admit of mathe matical proofs and careful study and consideration are necessary in order to form fair conclusions. :--9-: - This topic is the rirst'Of a'seriea of three along similar lines to be pre sented by Mr. Ebersole to the Y.VM C.
