THE CHURCH CENSUS.

The publication Of the census returns in
relation to the churches in the country pre-
sents interesting statistics to our people,
though they are necessarily imperfect in
many important respects. Twenty years

009; memberships 19,12S,75l; property,
Sl7l, 1897 1882. The census OF 1870 shows
that, in the past ten years, there has been a
very decided gain in all these respects, the
number now being, Of churches, G3,0S2;
members, q ,665 ,O62, and amountofchurch
property, S354, 4S3, 5Sl. According to
the latest census, the number of men,

to more than one-half the entire popula-
tiOn.Qf the country-a manifest misstate-
ment. In numbers and possessions, the

121 of property. The Catholics are next
to them in property, owning $50, $50. 500.

keep the sailors in debt to them, which
enables them to rob "poor Jack" and

in spite of their opposition the law was en-
forced. AT last they entered into regu-

the consequence was that one hundred and
