~ METHODIST GAIN 125,91 MEMBERS Figures for Past Ten Years Show Increase in Church and Sunday School. | By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 3.—A net gain of 1,255,091 members has been made by all divisions of the Metho- dist Church in the United States in the past ten years, despite great losses suffered by the denominations during the war, according to statis- tics compiled for presentation to the ial Ecumenical Methodist Con- ?:::::e which opens in London next week. The figures, compiled by the Rev. Dr. H. K. Carroll of Plainfield, N. J.. former director of the United States Census, were made public here today. - Methodist Sunday schools in the United States, however, the report says, show a net loss for the two years, 1918 and 1919, of 293,968, “an appalling figure,” although 1920 re- turns indicate that “the lost ground is being regained.” Notwithstanding, the enrollment throughout the world shows an increase of 1,289,036 Meth- odist pupils for the ten-year period. Delegates Represent 37,000,000 “It is a remarkably good showing that American Methodism has to present to the Eumenical conference,” declared Dr. Carroll's statemen “Delegates representing nearly 37,- 000,000 Methodist members and ad- herents will be irt attendance. 3 “The year 1919 was the hardest the churches of America have known, at least, since the civil war. Meth- odism in most of its btrariches suf- fered, with the other evangelical de- nominations, actual losses. T he E Methodist Episcopal Church suffered! \ Who recalls th’ ole sign, “t'w‘: l:e::‘: “Don’t Hitch Here”? most of all, losing 43,262 59,987 in 1919—103,249 in and the conditions were even worse if we leave out foreign missions fields, for the loss in this country alone in 1919 was nearly 70.000.

The percentage of in- | crease -is ‘also greater. For the de- cade ending in 1910 it was 13; for the Past ten vears nearly 17." Dr. Carroll. in commenting on the fact that the number of itinerent Metho- dlsg ministers, 48.405, represented a loss of 209 compared with a gain of 6,531 in 1910 for the previous ten years, said: Certainly, more ministers are needed instead of fewer for a growing Method- ism. What is the trouble? Is the Methodist ministry less attractive than it used to be?” Scholars Exceed Membern. In conclusion. Dr. Carroll says: “The met increase of Sunday school pupils for all Methodist bodies (in the world) for the ten vears is 1289,036. Of this handsome gain. the Methodist Episcopal Church, the only body of any name, so far as i recall, which has more scholars In Sunday school than members in chureh. gets the lion's share—§34.473.

ROME, August 13.—Large numbers of American tourists have found themselves without ocean transporta- tion at the end of the jourmey in Europe, due to the chaotic navigation situation now existing in Italian ports. The passage of the United States immigration daw has caused the wholesale suspension of scheduled departures. In some cases the navi- n companies have withdrawn entire fleet from the New York service and diverted it to other trade. One American woman had been call- ing at the steamship and tourist agencies since April 30 to make sure that she would have a reservation for the end of August. She was finally told there was nothing available. START DRY CAMPAIGN. Prohibition Experts From This City in New York Crusade. NEW YORK.

He adds: Gl “Many a teacher will testify that the ‘worst boy in school’ has not in- frequently proved a ‘right-hand man’ at gardening. It makes bad boys good, and good boys better. It de- velops a sense of property rights and civic pride. A child who owns a plot ,mny be depended upon, in most cases, ‘We are in position to ad- vise you regarding Invest- ments that show the Maxi- mum Profit consistent with absolute security. not to molest the plot of his neighbor, and pride in the garden makes all willing_to take part in ecultivating flower borders, cleaning paths, or car- ing for community crops. The worfld of gardening as a means of physical | betterment is 100 well known to per- | mit discussion. Its value in overcom- ing awkwardness, and developing skill in the use of the hands can be best appreciated by watching the im- provement through one season of some clumsy child. “In_the beginning he usually stands on the beans while cultivating the carrots, and hoes his own shins as assiduously as the soil. After each cultivation his garden is a wreck But nature is wonderful. The vege- tables revive, and survive, and in time he learns to walk and stand between rows, not on them; to hold his rake and hoe properly, 'and to use them without danger to his own life or that of his crops. He may, and often does become a gardener of average skill. “More _than all else, the school gar- den lays the foundation for present and future happiness by teaching the 1319 & 1321 21st St. N.W.
