Church is that 1t Is religious club, MEMBER

1t Is not Mr.. Hale's intention to hold up
Middleboro as exceptionally irrelgious, or I'M
religious, II the word be preferred. Rather he
calls attention to 1t as fair type OF the aver
age New-England town; and he therefore de-
duccs from the facts presented by him the con-
clusion that in New-England. at least, the
Churches are losing their hold on the people.
Admitting that the facts are as stated, though
they have already been called in question: 1t
will be of interest to see what is Mr.. Hal"s
remedy for the conditions indicated by him.
On this point, 1t must be confessed he Is some

so unsatisfactory he would have the Churches

to be met, How are you going to persuade the
Hale's own denomination, for instance. ready
to cling to its bishops without denying the
validity Of Presbyterian orders" as he says IL
ought to be? 1t is not; nor is any other de-
nomination ready to give up its distinctive
tencts; and until they are, II is simply waste
Of time and white paper for any one TO write
about curing sectaransm by getting all Chris-
tians to think alike.
Nor would It promote Christian unity even
IL all the Churches did get back TO simple az
frmations Philosophcally, every affirmation
is in effect n denial Of everything outside the
content of the affirmation. Mr. Hale tells OF

TIE DECAUENCE OF RELIGION.

The Rev. William b. Hale an Episcopal
clergyman Of Mlddleboro Mass, has con-
trlbutod to the current Forum" religious
ANALYSIS OF that town, which appears to be
attracting attention Middleboro, which Is in
Plymouth County, Is one OF the largest and
oldest towns in Massachusetts,. The present
year is the second centennial OF the rounding
Of the First Church Of Christ OF the town.
This church. which, OF course, was Congrega-
tional, for many years claimed to be, and in
fact was, the only church Of the town AS Mr..
Hale says, 1t virtually arrogatcd to Itself the
catholic idea OF exclusive jurisdiction over the
consciences Of the people. But 1t failed to maiIi-
tain this claim. Gradually other religious bod
les gained foothold; and at the present time
the religious census Of the town Is as follows:
gatIonalists, 700; Roman Catholics, 600;
Baptsts. $50; Mcthodists 300; Episcopalians,
100; Unitarans, 100; Perfectionists 3D.
and Adventists, 90. As the population
Of the town Is $500, Mr.. Hale assumes
that there are 200 people in the town
who are not affiliated with any religious body.
In his opinion this Of itself would be n serious
state Of affairs; but he claims that 1t does not
tell the complete story Of religious dccadence.

people attended the fifteen churches OF me
