the total number Of communicants, 20,613,SI4.
This analysis shows that, statistically
speaking, we need not take large
number of our denominations seriously.
1t is noteworthy that the five largest
ones comprised 80 per cent Of the COM
municants of the country, and the ten
largest IS per cent. Only rs of the total
number had each more than 100, 600
communicants. DR.. Dollinger might,
therefore, have plucked up some courage
even had he visited u.s. Another view
is still more reassuring. Reducing the
denominations to groups or families and
counting as one family each the 10
Mennonite denominations, the II Meth
odist, the l3 Baptists, and so on, we
have only AZ titles instead of 143.
Dr.. Carroll states that there are four
chief classes of causes that lead to di-
visions-yiz: l. Controversies over doc
trines. g Controversies over admins
tration or discipline. 3. Controversies
over moral questions A. Controversies
of personal character.

RELIGION IN THE UNITED STATES

DR.. Dollinger, the famous German
scholar, when asked if he would like to
visit the United States, said No, he
would not like to see country where
they make a new church every week.
Apropos of this idea, few statistics
will be Of interest.
The following is very nearly correct:
