I SfeSJChurc h membership in the Unite H " "States increased more than 800,000 during 1925. the annual census of the ft:' Christian Herald reveals. Total 111 church membership is listed as 46,- ff; 883,756, or considerably more than one-third of the country’s population. | The greatest increase was shown i| by the Methodist Church group, com | post'd of fifteen bodies, which gained B 220,183, bringing its total membership I to 8,920,100. The Roman Catholic Church, with a gain of 203,990 members, still leads |i in the number of communicants, with 16.156,914. The only group to show t a decreas'e was the Friends, composed ft of four bodies, which reported a loss ft of 549 members. Dr. H. K. Carroll, compiler of the census, reported his researches showed ft- an increase of 166 church buildings, as ft compared with a de<-reasc of twelve during 1924, believed to be the first . r decrease in the country’s history. To ft, tal number of church buildings is set Bs at 236,964. ft The number of ministers increased 2,9666, bringing the total to 216.078. Dr. Carroll said numerous large ftp- churches reported a decrease in mis- 1 ft sionary income. Third in the total members is the ft Baptist church group, with 8,397,914. ft The Presbyterian Church, with nine bodies, stands fourth with 2,561,986, ft; followed by seventeen bodies of the Lutheran church, with 2,546,127.

' ft!?* What is to be done with the autos 1 ftK, of Chui-ch goers in Concord is u seri ous traffic problem. i ft?. . Some of the Churches, fortunately. ftf- are located at points where streets 1 fcfj* are wide and when- parking on both | ftL' aides of the streets crcati*s no prole ||. - r leffl. Others, unfortunately,, are lo ft sated oil narrow streets and still oth- I ft era ato at »trwt intersections. The i<... parking ofCars; near sugh Churches is that must be solved for the ftfe benefit of the .public. ■tt Sunday traffic wine bailed for sev i K;\ eral 'ininutes half a dozen times at fi*: the Intersection of Spring anil licpni i . tL’ars were parked on Itepot f - lor tuart bally two Muck. ami at the same time they were parked on Spring street from its intersection j with Depot to its intersection, with Grove street. The cars were parked jon both sides and since the street is so narrow moving vehicles could not pass in the narrow lane created by the parked cars. I We do not contend, of course, that anything should be done to kinder the Church goers, but just the same the streets should not be congested to such a degree that traffic is interrupted. The congestion at the intersection of Grove and Bpring streets is as bad as it is at the intersection of Spring and Depot streets. It seems probable that parking will be limited to one side of the street oh Spring street between De pot and Grove streets if the public is to have the service it is entitled to. Three Churches are located near these two intersections and since 90 per cent of the Church goers use their 1 cars and leave them parked during the services, some way will have *to be found to relieve the congestion that is now a nuisance. THE EASTER PARADE. Atlantic City's board walk and New York's Fifth Avenue are the nation's most prominent promenades for the display of Easter finery, but the time has come when the most used streets in even the smallest towns boast of their Easter parades. Stores in Concord were packed with Easter shoppers on Saturday. From 8 o’clock in the morning until closing time at night the clerks were kept busy by shoppers who visioned a clear ; day and a perfect setting for the Eas j ter display of new clothing. And per ; sons iu all walks of life rubbed elbows : during the promenade, and fully 90 | per cent, of the girls and women were | bedecked in flowers, a condition that I did not exist ten years ago. SIMPLY AWFUL THAT ITALY MUST PAY UP Roman Newspaper Hopes 'That “Ter rible Injustice” Will Be Righted by Cancellation. Rome, April 2. —The long discus sion in tile United States Senate over the debt settlements indicates to the semi-official newspaper. Tribuna, the possibility of reconsidering '‘the tremendous injustice of Italy's con senting to pay her debts at all." The opponents of the accord in the American Senate, it says, are unable to call Italy to new sacrifices but are abU> to recall to her the small utility of those she is prepared to undertake, since hSie is so badly understood. Moreover, it adds, it is not edifying as an example of perfect democracy i that the opposition {tarty, purposing to defeat the governing party, se lects as its crowbar an international agreement touching the bases of re lations' between two nations. “If they are willing to act thus in a perfect democracy they can not pre tend at the same time to give ironie lessons and warnings to this old Eu rope. particularly fascist Italy, which has shown itself so scriocs and dis ciplined in settlement of the United States debt.” | The newspaper bitterly points out that the opposition to the settlement is being carried out by the Democrats, whose leader. Woodrow Wilson, "re fused to settle the debt question glob ally (by mutual cancellation) and did not desire to impose iudemnites upon the conquered according to the old. tyrannical European custom, instead offering a confused and unreliable ■ reparation system." Now. the same party, it points out. jis demanding full payment, with in ! terest from America's allies. The paper concludes by remarking that : it is unnecessary to answer the argu ments of the senators opposing the debt settlement since the defending senators have already done so.
