of PresbyterianiSm
IN THIS STATE AND ELSEWHERE.
The Topics That Will Be Discussed in Our
Twin City PulpitS.
PERSONALS ABOUT PULPIT OCCUPANTS

The Stated Clerk of the Presbyterian
II. Roberts, D.. D., has issued a compare
tive statement preparatory to the publish
ing of the annual record, from which we Gull
q few facts. In 1886 there were 26 Presby-
teries and 199 Synods. This year there are
80 Presbvteries and PIG Svnods. In 1856
the number of ministers was 5,546. This
year 6, ,223 ministers are reported on the rolls
OF the church. The number OF churches
in 1886 was 6,2s1, and in 1891
is 1910. The membership in 1886
was 666 9O9, and this year is So6, 796.
The Sunday School membership in 1886
was 743 5iS and this wear is S83, $50. The
amount contributed by the churches for
congregational purposes last year was
50, 746, 900, showing a decline of S254, 900
from the previous wear, but an increase of
nearly s., 000, 900 over the contributions of
1886. Total contributions of the Presby-
terian churches of the United States for the
past year was S14. .062, 500, against S14, ,368,-
131 for the previous year, and SO, 592, ,331
in 1886 Il seems that 1890 exceeded all
previous wears in amount contributed by
The membership of this great denomination.
PENNSYLVANIA is the stronghold of the Pres
byterian body, the church membership of
the State being 172,367: New York State
comes next with membership of 165 159.
Ohio stands third with membership of
81, IA Philadelphia and Pittsburg are the
great centers of Presbyterianism. In this
city and Allegheny with more than $50
churches, fully one-half are of this faith and
order. The Scotch-Irish element which
gained foothold here at the beginning of
things evidently has lost none of its grip in
the march of time.
