Church Statistics.

The following addressed to the editor of
THE BEE by Robert Potter, superintendent
Of census, will be appreciated by clergymen
throughout this section of country.
Having determined to include church sta
tlstcs in the special inquiries to be made for
the eleventh census, wish to announce TO
you and, through you, to your readers, my
desire aud purpose 10 obtain the fullest and
most accurate results possible In this special
department. need not enlarge upon the
value of such results to any who are in any
wise interested in church work and progress,
and wish to know the numerical strength of
the various religious denominations of the
United States.
The inquiry will he broad enough in scope
to embrace every religious body, of what
ever name or creed, however few or many
its churches and members, and it will be
conducted with the utmost fairness and i'm
Partially. The information sought will be
arranged under five heads: Q) Organiza-
tions or societies; (2) church edifces; (3)
seating capacity; az value of church prop
erty; (6) communicates. This is as much,
in my judgment, as 1t will be wise to under
take in this direction for the eleventh CEN
SuS.
In order to prosecute this plan success
fully and to make the results so thorough
and accurate that thoy cannot be lmpeached,
the government will have TO count largely
on the prompt and generous cooperation of
those in eacn denomination who are in "a po-
sltlon to furnish the information desired.
This information cannot be gathered by the
enumerators. They are ALREADY fully bur-
dencd and the appropriations available for
the census will not admit of the appointment
of special enumerators for this work. 1t is
necessary, therefore, TO make church stats-
tics a special inquiry, and they must be
gathered chiefly by schedules placed in the
hands of some competent person in each of
the minor ecclesiastical subdivisions of the
various churches.
The conduct of this SPECIAL inquiry has
been committed to a gentleman whose quail
fications for the work will, 1 am sure, be in
stantly recognized. ii. X. Carroll LID.
editor of "rne Independent" of New York,
has consented to assume the duties OF the
position. DIR. Carroll is now engaged IN pre-
pairing plans for such division of the terri
tory Of each denomination as will make it
comparatively easy for those to whom his IN.
quiries will be addressed to give prompt
and faithful response. l ask for him, and
am sure you will heartily second me, such
cheerful aud generous assistance as he may
require from officers of tho denomination you
represent
