declined nineteen in 1000 since 1891,
but chiefly because Of famine and mar
rage customs. The Mohammedans, In
the same period, managed to increase
80 per cent, their total number now be-
ing 62,45S,O77.
Assertions often made that Moham-
mechanism is gaining ground in India
thus appears to be well founded, and
it is evident that at the present rate of
increase that religion may some time
dominate tie country. While Budd-
hism increased per cent it is con-
fined almost exclusively to Burma, and
there most of the 100000 nominal adj
herents of the Buddhistic cult are real
ly bound to an ancient demon worship.
AS for Christianity In India, the Gen.
sus of 1901 returns 1923, 241 professors
Of the Christian faith, an increase of
81 per cent since 1891.
This growth seems decidedly encour-
aging, but it must be said that, accord
ing to the official view, the returns of
Christians were swelled by the inclu-
sion Of the famine waits. who were
cast upon Christian charity in large
numbers by the terrible famines of the
past decade. 1t Is also stated that In
Madras and Bengal the more degraded
classes tend to become converts to
christianity for social reasons.
