LARG h MEMBERSHIPS

Many Residents Attend Serv-'t-nnr, of the Progressive Pastors.

The liii: ty-fcur churches in Richmond have experienced a remarkable growth during the last two years, not in the number of members enrolled, but in the number attending the Sunday services, according to local pastors. Richmond has many fino churches, well distributed over the city as to make a church easily accessible to the citizens anywhere. Since 1911, it is estimated that the total attendance of Sunday services has increased from 2,000 to 3,500 or more while the Sunday schools have had an increase in attendance almost as large. There are 15,000 church members in the city-and 7,500 children are enrolled in the Sunday schools. Churches Prosper. This city has a reputation of having more church raemberu and more churches in comparison to the population than most other cities. Methodir.ts, Presbyterians, Friends, Episcopela and two Catholics are a large asset to the city. There are five colored churches with a membership of about 900 here. The St. Mary's Catholic church has under construction a magnificent edifice on North A street between Seventh and Eighth. When completed this will be the finest church in the city in architecture. The First Church of Christ Scientist is now lodged in a beautiful little structure which the members built in 1912. The St. Andrews Catholic church has one of the most active and possibly the largest ! congregations In the city. Tho work ' of the church is well known to all the citizens of this and other cities. Church Changes. During the past year there have I been several changes in the churches. jThe First Christian church congregation was divided and out of the congregation leaving, grew the Central ; Christian church which since January ;of this year has grown from a group of twenty or thirty members, to a strong congregation of more than 200 members. This progressive church is outgrowing the rooms in the Masonic temple and will build a church bulld'ing soon. Since the last Methodist conference, the Fifth Street M. E. church was placed under the pastorship of Rev. Arthur Cates, pastor of the Grace M. E. church, although the congregations have remained separate. Richmond has a ministerial association consisting of almost every minister in the city. It tst a progressive organization wjiich holds meetings every Monday morning and has been influential in correcting defects in the church organizations of the city. The association has brought the churches In closer touch and helps not only the ministers but the congregations as well. Friends Are Strong. The Friends are a strong sect here. ,Ther are five Friends' churches here which within the past two years have been characterized with a progressive 'spirit. All the church buildings of the Friends are historical and the history of the religion here is Interesting. The totai church property has not Increased materially since a report was made in 1911.

It will be three stories in height and will be one of the largest furniture stores in the state when completed. The local store of the Hoover-Bond company, which has ' branches in a large number of cities in the central west, is one of that company's mcst successful ones, and its business has increased so rapidly that its present quarters, across the street from its new building, are entirely too small. The Romey company occupies a three story building at the corner of Ninth and Main streets and is one cf the largest establishments of its kind in Indiana. Its business has increased in leaps and bounds the past several years and this year promises to be one of the most successful in the company's history. It formerly occupied the quarters now used by the Hoover-! Bond company. Richmond's newest furniture store ! is that operated by the Druitt Brothers, who, however, took over the business of one of the pioneer furniture companies of the city, the Dunham company. So successful have the Druitts been since engaging in busi-! nes here that they have enlarged their quarters at the corner of Seventh and Main streets to accommodate the

With thirteen millinery stores in the city, the Richmond woman has a variety of head dress to select from that rivals the displays in many largor cities. The milliners have studied the taste of the Richmond woman, they know what she wants, and thry buy to please her. In styles she may select anything from the latest Parisian models to the American created styles which are rapidly becoming popular. Each store has experienced trimmers of ta.ste and skill, who are capable of treating models to suit the Individual customer. These women

The Knollenberg company has an excellent furniture department while the 1 tollhouse and G.pthaus companies are large, profitable businesses, each handling a complete line of stock. One of the most interesting retail establishments in the city is the Weiss Antique Furniture store where valuable old pieces of furniture of rare woods and designs are handled.
