SOME INTERESTING sTAT15f1Cs.
from the Alliance
A few weeks ago the New York Tribune pre-
scnted list of the mortgages ON the clurches
Of that city, which, while eyiaently somewhat
Incomplete, was vet startling in the amount OF
indebtedness exhibited. Tile Tribune remarked
that probably no class Of property in New York
City was SO heavily incumbered as the religious;
mud the matter has aroused SO much public in
1ercst THAT general discussion OF the whole
subject Of church debt and its attendant evils
has taken place throughout the country, with
suggestions that '*debt-paying revival" would
be the most proper enterprise in which
orr churches generally could next engage

from the county records a list containing the
mortgages ut present eristing on the church
property of Chicago. Tie utmost pains hive
been taken to make this as accurate q possible,
according to the showing. on the Kecorasr's
books: and the result, while presenting tor
1ullable array Of outstanding mortgages, We
believe to t quite favorable to Chicago in coil'-

in Chicago is Sill, 1875, against S..3d'- -oeo III
New York But tie Tribune table is evidently
incomplete: for instance, no Unitarian or Uni
yc.s:list church appears on its list, noivth-
sta,iiuw the fact that both these denominations
have large properties there, which, in the nature
ii things, arc hardly expected to be more for
tunatc in respect to debt than their neishbors.
It is noticeable that almost all the Chicago
