for several years. The Greek govern

RELIGIOUS STATISTICS. .


3Increase IN Churches ana Preachers
& IN Ten Years.
The United States is the only country
IN which an official census omits mat
tiers relating to the religious belief of
the inhabitants. In every European
country, IN Canada, South America,
India and Australia, when census is
taken by governmental or local aus
thority, inquiry is made into the re-
igious belief Of the inhabitants, and
the custom is universal to ascribe to &
the minor children of a family the res
ligious creed Of the parents or guard
tans. In the United States, howeverj
the antipathy to any admixture Of re-
.igious with secular matters has
always served as q bar against
inquiries by census officials on re-
igious matters, and the nearest
approach to such information has
come, therefore, from statistics Of
church sittings. There is kept, too, but
not by any official auth ority, record Of
the number of ministers OF each re-
igious denominat ton, and compare
son Of the figures for the last few years
is interesting as showing the changes
which are going on in the various de-
nomina tons.
Ten years ago there were in the
United States 1882 Baptist churches
and 25,377 Baptist clergymen. There
are now 45,8O2 Baptist churches and
31,572 Baptist clergymen. Ten years
ago there were in the United States 49,
263 Methodist churches and 2s,075 cler,
gymen of the Methodist creed. There
are now 1926 Methodist churches and
33,6O1 Methodist clergymen. There are
Is subdivisions of American Baptists
and II of American Methodists, but for
the purposes of ordinary compu-
tation they are spoken of as Meth
odists and Baptists collectively. Ten
years ago there were in the United
States 6,910 Catholic churches and
1868 Catholic clergymen. Theirs
are now 1857 Catholic churches
and 1905 Catholic clergymen. Ten
years ago there were 1892 Lutheran
churches and 1, 215 Lutheran clergymen,
There are now 9,493 of the former and
$685. of the latter, the increase being due
in considerable measure to the large
and steady immigration from north
Germany and Scandinavian countries
to the United States. Ten years ago
there were returned in the United
States 1863 Jewish synagogues and 30a
rabbis occupying pulpits in Jewish syn
agogues. There are now returned $40
synagogues and 900 rabbis, though oh,
viously the latter number is much too
low, and the disparity arises from the
fact that there are considerable mum,
Der of rabbis who do not appear in the
church records. as such, as they also
follow other pursuits. Ten years ago
there were in the United States 12,437
Presbyterian churches and 1854 Pres
byterian ministers. By the last figures
at hand there were 1850 Presbyterian
churches and 1916 Presbyterian cler-
gymen. Ten years ago there were 3,540
Episcopal churches and 4, 1879 Episcopal
clergymen in the United States. There
are now 5,979 of the former and 1850
of the latter.
All religious organizations in the
United have grown in membership and
church accommodations during the last
ten years, but the gain, as the figures
show, has been somewhat unevenly dis
tributed.-N. Y. Sun.

also rejoice in the possession of a dis

let that of other people alone.
This is something the writer Of last
weeks item cannot truthfully say of
himself
Truth however does not seem to be
an element of his makeup and do not
hesitate to say that the writer of last

English, a liar, as no claim has ever

parted friends of the family or " where
they will go themselves, but am free
to say, that were / given power to die

of similar dispositions should go, they
would depart at once on an extended
Journey to a place where it would be

The machine referred to is common

nary intelligence are acquainted with
them and a school-boy can make one

The writer of the article headed " 1t

scribed himself; although he is at
tempting to do with his identity what
he advised us to do with the board,
hide it. He has given in this way a
