The GREAT CHRISTIAN STRUGGLE FOR THE
POSSESSION OF THE WORLD.

The Methodist Of this city has an elaborate
statistical article showing the progress of the great
Christian struggle for the possession of the world
It gives the total population of the world, COM
puted by one of the best writer's on geography, as
about 1850, 100000. OF these, population, in
cluding the children Of Christian parents, of
about 369, 100000, sustains some connection
with one or other Christian Church. and may
be put down, in this sense, as the Chris
tian population Of the world. The most
numerous OF the Christian churches is
still that Of Rome, which claims a population Of
1876 200, 100. About II 900 900 are connected with
the Greek and other Eastern churches. 1t was
formerly customary to for all other Christians
the collective name Of Protestants, but it is well
known that large portion OF the Anglican church
az well as parties in some other churches, protest
against being counted among the Protestants. Re-
tanning the name for convenience sake. as no other
collective term has been proposed, the total num-
ber of Protestants is about 97,000,0 900. In the
several large divisions Of the world, the relative
number Of Protestauts and Roman Catholics is
about as follows:-
