winking at you from the near side Of the
street-are we-is a man, that is, to 20

Growth of the Baptist Denominati0


The history Of the Baptist Church
shows in q striking manner the vitality
OF its principles. A recent statement OF
its growth and present condition pre-
sents the following statistics: In 1862
there were only 56 Baptist churches in
America; in 1892 they had increased to
1000, in 1912 to 9, 433, in 1882 to 5, ,322,
in 1852 to more than $500; in 1858,
without including any Of the minor
Baptist organizations, to 10000, with
100000 members, and, if The minor
bodies arc included, to 100000, and
an attached population of about Z, $780,
900 souls. In 1866 tho denomination
proper possessed 3,470 church organ-
izations, and no less than 1928, 149
COMMITMENTS. According to the CEN
sus of 1870 the regular Baptist denom~
nation possessed l4,474 church organ
izations and 1857 churches, but this is
evidently incorrect, inasmuch as the
Baptist yearbook for 1871 shows re-
turn OF II, 745 churches. The records
OF the Government show the following
increase in the value of church property
during the course Of two decades: 1850,
value of churches, $11, ,020, ,855; 1860,
value of churches, S19, ,799, ,37S; 1870,
value of churches, $39, 900, ,221. The
foregoing pertain to the regular body.
The value of church property for the
same periods of other Baptist bodies
has been reported as follows: 1850,
value Of churches, $153, 115; 1860, value
Of churches, 81 ,279, 1876; 1870, value Of
churches, S2,378,977, From 1860 to
1870 the value of church editices owned
by the regular body increased nearly
100 per cent. If this ratio Of increase
l. been kept up during the past de.
cade, the Baptists are the posscssors of
church property having value not far
from $50. .OOO. 600.
