STRENGTH OF PROTEsTANTIsM

a persistent disparagement of Prot
| estants and Protestantism seems to be
a part ofthe duty imposed on the Dem
ocratic press of this city. Even the
Sunday AeTctny-which hates all re-
ligion with rigid partiality-restricts
its slurs and its sneers to Protestant
denominations. The World continu-
ally bubbles over with assertions like
the following from its last issue:
"All the Christian sects together COM
prise membership of about 100000
GOO, while heather worshipers count
over 1,000, 100000, the Buddhists alone
having $40, 100000. The Roman Cath
Ole embraces 195, 100000 followers; all
the Protestant folds combined is only
6S, 139, 600"
Here it is coolly assumed that the
Roman Catholics out number all other
Christians by no less than iSirty NaU-
ions, which is not near the truth. But
we will consider more particularly the
depreciation of the number of Protest
ants. Any fair estimate will make the
Professionals of the various countries

We believe the above does not exag-
crate the number of Professionals to
whom the members of the Orthodox
Greek Church might properly be added,
(since they also protest against the
claims of the Bishops of Rome to be
obeyed as rightful head of the entire
Christian Church,) swelling the num-
Der of Christians who thus protest to
at least the 100, 900, claimed for the
Roman Catholics-N. Y. Tribune.
