THE CHURCHES.

Next to her educational institu-
lions, Omaha justly prides herself
upon her religious organizations
and church editices. With forty
one UNCONVENTIONAL congregations
and thirty-eight churches, Omaha
affords ample opportunity for wor-
ship to members Of nearly every
creed and sect. The churches Of
Omaha will compare f%avorably in
point of architectural beauty and
convenience with those of any
other city Of equal population.
The church property owned by
Omaha religious bodies will not
fall short of one million dollars in
value, Of which fully one-half is
under control of the Catholic
Church. Every congregation in the
city shows evidence of healthy
growth, which keeps pace with the
rapid increase in population and
wealth.
The Methodists are numerically
the largest denomination, followed
closely by the Lutherans and Ro-
man Catholics. The aggregate
church attendance in Omaha will
exceed 10, 900.
During the past year marked
progress has been noted among
the various church organizations,
and several new churches have
been erected and completed.
