OUR RELIGIOUS BODIES
Only 10000, 900 Are Members Of

0AAAS oCf00QtQ00 Are MSm0 GT& Oh
Churches.
DR.. Walter Laidlaw, long distin-
guished authority upon church Stats
tics, has published an elaborate est1-
mate Of the present strength Of relig-
lous bodies in the United States, which
Is interesting because 1t brings down
nearly to date work which the census
bureau attempted in a vague and ten
tative way four years ago.
In rough division OF the people Of
the United States according to their
religious views and connections, DIR.
Landlaw classes about 100000 out
of 82,O00,000 as church members. OF
these 30,OOO.00O the Roman Catholics
number more than one-third. 1t is
calculated that since 1890 the Catholics
In the United States have increased
about 60 per cent, or over 1000 900.
Considerable Of this increase was due
to immigration. In the same fourteen
years the growth OF the population
cannot have been more than 80 or. at
the most, 35 per cent.
The Roman Catholics constitute
about is per cent Of the entire popula-
ton Of the United States. In some
great cities and States they are far
stronger than that proportion would
indicate. Nearly or quite one-third Of
the population Of New York City are
Catholics and the percentage is almost
as great in Cleveland. 1t must be still
higher in Boston, where the French
Canadian element Is large and fast in
creasing.
According to DIR. Laidlaw the Prot
estant Church members have increased
35 per cent since 1890, thus gaining at
least as fast as the gross population
of the United States. OF the larger
general divisions of the Professionals
the Methodist churches, of all kinds
are credited with nearly 100000 com
municants. The Baptists number over
4,725,00O and the Lutherans about
2,265, 600 There are some 2.050,O0C
Presbyterians. including among them
the Dutch Reformed and Reformed
churches, because of their close SINH
larity in organization and beliefs. DIR
g4aidlaw credits the Protestant Epis
copal Church with 782,543 members
and the Congrega tionalists are esti
mated at 659,704
The Jews are estimated at more
than 100000. New York City is theil
greatest stronghold. The Mormons
are counted as less than $4,000 ant
the Christian Scientists seem mucf
underestimated at 10000. There arr
believed to be 5000 members of vari
Gus communistic societies. The Unita
rians and Universalists are estimated
at about 125,000.

FRED GRANT AND HIS BOOTS.
Why the General Put Them Under
His Pillow at Bedtime.

His Pillow at Bedtime.
General Fred Grant always sleeps
with his boots under his head when
he is travelling on train and quite
frequently when he puts up for the
night in a strange place.
The story of how he formed this
habit came out one night several years
ago when fellow traveller beheld the
general occupied in carefully tucking
his foot covering underneath the pill
lows of his sleeping car berth.
Il guess I'll never break the habit, +"
said the general in his slow, easy -go-
ing way, mo matter how much I'm
laughed at, as you're doing now. But
once it was no laughing matter to me,
/ can tell you.
while the Civil War was being
fought was a cadet in West Point.
One summer when vacation time was
close at hand my father promised me
that l could spend it in the field with
him, and as soon as l was permitted
to leave the academy on furlough
took the train south to join him.
II was in high spirits until l awoke
from a fine nights slumber and start
ed to put on my boots. To my horror
they were not where | had placed
them, and though searched for them
high and low they could not be found
Some rascal had walked of with them
in the night and he had also helped
himself to my hat, as | discovered
later on.
81 was in a nice dilemma and mat
tiers were helped only slightly by the
porter scurrying around and finally
raking up pair of dilapidated rub
bers ard an old hat that looked as If il
had been through seasons cam
paigning. But / had to make the best
of the situation and when I stepped
forth into the cold world at Washing
ton | must have presented an anus
ing spectacle as regards head and
feet.
"I didn't have enough money will
me to buy new boots and hat; neithel
was 1 armed with any letters which
would give the shopkeepers confidence
in me. There was only one thing t.
do. and 1 did it tramped arount

Keep Moral Ideas Clear.

We need, above all things, to keep our
moral ideal clear and high. "Woe unto
him that puts light for darkness and dark
ness for light, sweet for bitter" etc. That
is, woe unto him that confounds moral dis
tinctions. Not our patriotism or our par
tisanship must blind us to truth. Neither
for ourselves nor our country nor our
party may we condone sin or falsehood or
meanness. If prophecies, chosen mes
senger of God, could go wrong, how easily
may we. Dean Hodges is just publishing
a book on 'The Human Nature of the
Saints" A companion volume might be
"The False Judgments of Christian Peo-
pie" Bias is almost irresistible. What
helps on that which we much care for we
are apt to praise without looking too close
" at its moral quality. So doing, we close
our insight, .extinguish the light of God
kindled within us, and by and by we may
find ourselves walking in darkness rather
than light, perishing, perhaps, as BALKAN
persisted among the enemies of the Lord.

You feel him near.
A9ss the fields you see him stand,
a. his pillow he rests a hand,
v from his lyric lips grand
Sweet song you hear.
He was the toiler's troubadour;
He had Christ's passion for the poor,
His charity.
And Buddha's pity stirred him so,
He wept and sang above the woe
Of mavis, field mouse, daisy low,
And ruined tree.
He glorihed life's homelier parts
The love that thrilled the peasant hearts
OF Meg and Tam.
The dignity of toll he caught,
The brotherhood of man he taught,
And through his shortened life he fought
I Falsehood and sham.
He saw through rank and wealth and
place,
The primal kinship of the race.
The ancient wrong
He smote with curses, sobs and jeers,
With Rabelais' laugh and Rousseau's tears;
TO wake mems hopes, dispel their fears
This was his song
lie made his speech loves classic tongue,
I'LL now his plowman songs are sung
In every cline.
And while true hearts in friendship beat
Shall swell that chorus simple, sweet
