CHURCHES IN SAN FRANCISCO
From the following table, says the San Francisco
Herald ii appears that there in the much abused
city Of San Francisco, less than thirty churches
and that on average 1905 persons attend Divine
service the Sabbath day. There besides three
or four communities of feligiously disposed persons
who worship in private, and in relation 10 whom no
statistics could be procured 1t will, therefore, be
safe to estimate the total amount Of persons who
attend church on the Sabbath at 10000. Deducting
the 10000 Chinese who reside In this city, the total
Christian population Is probably about 10000 Out
Of this population 10000. or one-ffth, regularly at
tend the churches to which they belong. Can the EN-
pire City the modern Athens, or the City OF Bro
therly Love- or the City Of Churches boast that
fifth OF their population are regular church goers
We apprehend not.
The figures which are given below will astonish
some of the good people at the East, who, during
the May Anniversaries elaborate upon the necessity
of appropriating q part Of the funds therefore, cx
pended in the purchase Of flannel shirts and red caps
for the benghted inhabitants Of Timbuctoo, for pre-
ciptation of an avalanche Of missionaries upon the
gloomy shore of California. u also appears from
the table given below that the present value Of the
church property in this city is about $742 6OO Most
of this property was purchased when real estate
commanded high prices, and 1t is therefore proba-
BILE that it was originally purchased at an expense
of at least ST $50 000 1t must be admitted that we
have fostered religion with no nggard hand and we
have no hesitation in saying that If the amounts
have contributed for this purpose, were added to
money expended in charity, the sum total would
reach very near to title of our substance
