CHIRCH PROPERTY fF THE
UNITED STATES.

In view of the recommendation in the Presi
dents message in favor Of the taxation o.
church property, some statistics as to the
amount Of property owned by religious corpor
atoms in the United States will be OF interest
The census returns afford the only reliable fig
ores upon the subject which are attainable, and
they are by no means complete, as they give
only the valuation OF property belonging to the
churches as churches-l.e. church edi6ces, par
held by church organizations as Investments,
or that used for educational and charitable pur-
poses. The total amount OF church property
according to the census Of 1870 was 1854, 49,
5S1 but if the property OF church organlzs-
tons in colleges, and educational and charita-
tle institutions, and that invested in various
ways were added, the amount OF property
owned and controlled by religious organiza-
tons in 1870 would doubtless have exceeded
$500 600, 900, and might have reached 5000, 00O,-
OOO. The Presidents estimate OF the present
value OF the untaxed church property of the
country-$1, 900, 900, 000-is regarded az too
high by some OF the church statisticans but
none OF them estimate it at less than two-thirds
that amount.
returning, however, from the uncertain field
OF estimates to the figures Of the census which
are the only ones reliable for purposes Of COM
parison, the first thing that strikes the observ
e. Is the rapid increase Of church property in
the United States. The census OF 1850 gives
the total church property as SS7,32S, sol that
Of 1860 as Sill, 397. $50 and that Of 1870 as
s354,4S3,5S1 The number OF church organi-
zations doubled IN twenty years, and the num-
Ter Of sttings IN CHURCHES increased only fifty
per cent; but tho value OF the church property
lrastuctiuc that term to churches. chapels and
,arson0gcs) ouadrupled. The increase in
church property has gone on more Iaplaly since
the last census than before, and should It con-
niue in the future as rapidly az during the last
decade, will very nearly justify The prediction
" the President that before the end OF the
present century the church property Of the
ntel states (incuding educational and char
table institutions and lnvestments) will exceed
20. 100000 III value.
another matter of interest in this connection
is The amount of property held severally by the
various religious sects IN the country. We
compile the following figures from the census
Ct 1870. showing the number OF sittlngs in the
church edifces OF each denomination, (Which
represents pretty fairly the constituency of
each) and the value of the property owned by
each. For convenience we have cassed togeth-
G. the various branches of the Baptist and
Presbyterian churches:
