CHURCH ATTENDANCE.
Comparative Figures Presented by Our
ue--a Washington Correspondent.

The attendance in Protestant church
cs as compared With that in Catholic
churches has been IL subject that was
recently, and generally. discussed in
the religious press Of the country.
The general trend of the arguments
seems to have been that the ut md
alcr in Catholic churches WAS much
greater than in Protestant churches.
There is no doubt that /; visit to :hy
of the churches would confirm ANY
one in that idea. us far as Il visual
demonstration is concerned. Hut this
is essentially Il ease where nppc;li;,li-
ccs are dcccivng In Il careful invcSli-
CATION of this subject | could lind only
one feature in church attendance THAT
was pronounccdly in favor of CAtho.
lies. and that is the decidedly larger
attendance Of men. 1t is Il mistake to
suppose that ProtcStants lack nntl ISL
assn in their church work. Tho two
largest Protestant denominations. the
Mrthodists and HaptistS, llav4.-sl moan
hcrship of over lO.nOO.OOO. which is
about the Same as the Catholic populn
ton. They support 73,7Nu ministers.
or, with their families. about 225.OOO
persons. Al an average salary Of EIUO
they pay out annually for the support
S29.4S0,000. to say nothing Of the col
lcctions for Sunday-schools, and home
and foreign missions. 1t is evident
that the theory of poor church attend
ancc does not harmonizc With the
above magnificent figures. and it will
be necessary to look elsewhere for an
explanation of the small number OF
persons usually found in Protestant
| churches.
The two denominations above men
| toned have. as stated. 100000 mem
| bers For the accommodation of these
members they have $1,000 churches.
or I'D members to Il church. The
Catholics, With 10.000OuO members,
have 10000 churches. or 1000 r,cm-
bers to Il church. Now, /, is plain
that il there are 1000 persons in y
church it looks better attended than
when there are only I'D. Hence the
apparent deception. Then, again. With
the average membership of 1000 the
Catholic churches have an average
seating capacity of 3TS. or accommodate
tons for about onc-third of the aver
age congregation, while two Protestant
denominations, with an average mem-
bership Of Ia. hava an average seat
