CATHOLIC COUNTRIES.

Every item of this was taken, after a
patient and minute examination, from the
Journals of the Statistical Society of Lon

However, we need not go abroad the
evidence is at our own door. Let us take
the State of Rhode Island as a specimen.
There the number of children annually re-
ceiving Catholic baptism exceeds the one
half of all the children born in the State,
although the Catholic population does not
exceed the third part. In other words,
there are two Protestants to every Catho-
lie, and yet there are more Catholic chill
dren born than Protestant.
