CHURCH GOING IN LONDON.

Statistics have been produced to prove
that the germ Of la2iness'--accepting
Dr. stiles theory has taken possession
Of so many church goers in this country
that many churches In the large cities
are not half filled with worshipers Chi
cago and New York have thus been held
No TO public gaze. Now It Is the turn
OF London. and II appears that the con-
dltions IN the British capital are not
isuch different from those In the great
American centers OF population. The
London News has taken a census and
found this TO be the fact,
In the whole Of London there are, 1t
seems about seven hundred churches
ana towards six hundred mission
churches or chapels Of the Church Of
England, and about eight hundred
olassed % "Nonconformists," including
afy Roman Catholic The census Of
church attendance in Hampstead and

churches and religions societies

SOULS OK DOLLARS.

As has been noticed In these columns,
The American Methodists commenced
Tie new century by an effort to raise
S2ooOO,O00 for church purposes, as
twentieth century thank offering. 1t -
now said that the fund has been raised,
and the fact will be officially announced
on the Sist OF this month, at midnight
by Dr. Mills IN the Trinity Methodist
Episcopal church In Springfield Mass,
the place from which the arst call for
the movement emanated. OF the total
amount S7.S50o0O will be devoted to
educational purposes, elghty-six insti-
tutions being the benefciaries. Eight
millions win go toward the wiping out
OF church debts. while 81 100000 Will be
used for the relief OF superannuated
preachers.
At the time the call for twentieth CEN
tuiy money went forth, we believe the
suggestion was also made that some
millions OF souls be won for Methodism'
We have seen no reports as TO the sue
cess OF this part of the work, beyond
the regular statistics which by no
means Indicate special pouring out OF
