Our Re&ciou* Growth.
The religious bodies of the Unit
ed States have no cause to be dis
couraged over the results of the
year 1914. The new communi
cants or members added made good
all the losses by death, expulsion
or withdrawal, and left a surplus
of nearly three-quarters of a mil
lion. That is, the total member
ship is 763,087 great* than it was
in 1913. This is an, average in
crease of two per cent., for all
bodies great and small, Christian
and non-Christian. Elaborate
statistical tables prepared by Dr.
H. K. Carroll, and issued by the
federal Council of the Churches in
America, show in detail the gains
and losses of the yeaiA

The ProteStaht Episcopal church
has crossed the million line, having

The effects on the, church mem«
bership of the European waria
narrowing the stream of immigra*
tion wereprbbably quite small,' As
only the last five months of the
year were involved. The enaigra*
tiou of men to take part in the
great conflict would motbe a very
large 'factor for the same reason.
The German bodies—Lutheran)
Reformed, and the representative of
the Prussian State Church, all show
unusual gams for 1914. On the
other hand, Roman Catholic gains
are quite small.
The total increase of ministers
was 3,212, which isuunsally large,

was l,«lr, is tmtisuAtty

American Skipping.
In spite of the failure of the
President’s shipping bill, theie will
be thin year a very considerable in
crease in American shipping. It
eame, first of all, from the registry
bill passed, some months ago, ad
mitting to American registry vessels
built abroad bnt owned, in chief
part, in this country.
This will add over a hundred
thousands tons to our merchant
marine. Bnt the most encourag
ing feature in this connection is
the increase in the tonnage of
vessels built in America for, while
it is better to manufacture them at
home if we can do so. The dis
couraging fact in regard to our
shipping is that we have, of late,
been building so few ships where
as, of old, we had won a reputa
tion in the construction of clippers
and fast sailers.
It is gratifying to know that
there is greater activity in boat
construction now than for many
years past; and this improvement is
particularly encouraging because
the figures of 1914 were poor, show
showing a decrease in the output
as compared with the previous
year, probably on aeconnt of the
war and the very uncertain status
of ^hipping for some months. We
are over all that now; and there is
no reason why we should not fare
as well in ship building as we are
likely to fare in other and kindred
lines of industry. The British
yards will not be able to do much
in the way of merchant vessels un
til the war is over. The British
merchant marine has beendiverted
to a considerable extent t<? naval
purposes; and, in every respect,
the opportunities and profits for
American ships were never better.
If the present struggle lasts long
enough, the world wiil find when
peace comes that the United States
is in control, to a Very considerable
extent, of the ship building indus
try and the carrying trade.
The country lost its merchant
marine during the war of the Con
federacy when the Alabama and
other Southren men-of-war were
sweeping the old-fashioned Ameri
can clippers from the seas and
when her Federal goverment
thought only of war vessels and
nothing of those destined for peace.
We may regain it again through
war. The situation is completely
reversed tor-day for the great ship
owning countries are now busily
Engaged in destroying each other’s
vessels, not only those engaged in
tbe warfare but those engaged in
commerce as well, leaving the field
open to us, if we have the needed
shib’s or can purchase or build
them'.
We have purchased a number
and we lire now trying to make
good our . deficiency by building
more. Every skip building firm
on the Atlantic coast has more
orders than it can possibly " fill;
and the same conditions are said to
‘ezsist on the Fheiflc coast. It there
is nothing doing on the Gulf, it is
because we have n^t yet gone into
ship building in this section to any
'great extent, as we have several
times proposed to do at New Or
leans ; and we are therefore in no
position to profit by the opportun
ities offered just now. It is an
nounced that ten large vessels, aU
cargo carriers, are already under
construction, of ten or fifteen
thousand tons; and that offers have
•been made for ten more—all of

iommends It to Friends
Greenville, S.C.—“ It is with pleasure
I tell others of the great benefit I have'
derived from Vinol, for the past several
years. I am 81 years old and I find Vi*
no! gives me strength, adiealthy appe
tite and overcomes- nervous diseraersu
Vinol is the only tonic reconstructor-1
have used for several years. 1 have
recommended it to a great many of my
friends and it has always proved satito
factory.”— Mrs. M. 'A. Hutchison,
Greenville, S. C.
Such cases as the above are constantly
coming to our attention. If people in
this vicinity only realisedhowvino! in
vigorates old people we would not be
able to supply the demand.
It is the tissue building, curative ele^
ments of the cod's livers, aided by the
blood making stiengthenmg properties
of tonic iron contained in vinol, that)
makes it so successful In building up
strength for old people; delicate chil
dren and for all run-down conditions.
Vinol is also a most successful remedy
for chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis.
If it falls to benefit .any one who tries
it we return your money.
