Startling Church Statistics.

For some years past we have noted and called
special attention to the gradual diminution of the
rate OF increase of members as exhibited by the
Minutes of the Presbyterian Church, (North.) In
no one year has there been an actual decrease in
numbers, but the rate of additions has been fall
ing off from year to year. Notwithstanding the
Church has been growing in resources, in wealth,
In church accommodations, and in all material
facilities for giving the gospel alike to the rich
al d the poor, 1t is making no progress in num-
bers and IN spiritual p Jwer commensurate with
those resources, or with the progress of all world
ly enterprises.
similar exhibit, if not still more STARTLING
is made in regard to the Congregational church
es of the State of Connecticut. The Conqreoa-
tsOndtlSt of LIST week had an article by Rev.
Joseph Anderson, D. D., showing from the Min
utes of the General Conference that the additions
by profession OF the churches of the ten cities of
the State, with membership of Ia, 874 exceeded
the number removed by death by only g. while
in six cities, with membership of iO, 395. the
number removed by death actually exceeded the
additions on profession by Al. In the CITY of
Hartford to nine Congregational churches hav-
ing membership of 5000, there were added in
1879 only % while during the same year Al
were removed by death In New Haven with
fourteen Congregational churches and AL res
dent members, there were added to these
churches 81, while SO were removed by death, an
actual loss of three
These figures are alarming, and all the more
so because they relate to the cities, which are
centres of influence, and they are still more sug-
gestive inasmuch as they are simply compare
tive of additions to the Church from the world
and removals by DEATH But in the case of the
city last named, including changes by letter, dis
cipline, &C., there was actual decrease in
membership of So
The statistics of nearly all the religious de-
nominations Of the country contain facts of a
similar nature, which show an apparent hating
of the Church in its onward march, and es ,
pecially in its inroads upon the world. We do
not at all believe that the Church has lost its
power, or that the Divine Spirit has been with
drawn from 1T, but it becomes a serious question
whether IN its numerous enterprises for spread
ing the gospel, and especially in its recent at
ttude of apology for the defence of the truth it's
ministers and members have not relaxed their
immediate efforts for the salvation of men
around them. 1t is high time to inquire what
such facts as these mean, and what is the dutv
of the hour in view of them-N Y Obseryey
