Prof Gulliver, of the Andover
Theological Seminary, has been care
fully studying the leading orthodox
doctrines as they are held in New En-
gland to day, and his conclusion is that
the theology of that part of the country

immortality, and future punishment.
From the Indian Territory a mis-
sionary of the American Sunday-school
writes; 81 am laboring among mixed
population of Indians, negroes and
whites; and these last often are the
most needy. | organized a school
lately in a settlement made up of whites
and Choctaws, which has English and
Indian lessons; and held a meeting
among negroes who, formerly, were
the slaves of Muscogee masters. They
advance more readily than the Indians
because they know English. For, this
reason these are likely to be the domi-
nant race in parts of the Indian Terri

According to the latest ecclesiasti-
cal arithmetic, the Baptists are more
numerous in the United States than any
other of the denominations commonly
classed as evangelical. The five re-
porting the largest number of commu-
nicants are as follows: Baptists, 2,374,-
339; Methodists, 1,742,922; Presbyter-
ians, 9l5,740; Lutherans, 700, 718; Epis-
copalans, 345, 84l. During the last
year the Baptists increased 1853, 624; the
Methodists, 5000; the Episcopalians,
20,S46; the Presbyterians, 16,43S; the
Lutherans, 49, 23. 1t is thus seen that
the Baptist gain was nearly double that
of the other four denominations COM
bined.
