Religious Moveme nts.

The tribute paid by the bar OF New
York TO Justice FREEDMAN at dinner
given in his honor Wednesday evening
on his retirement from the bench of the
Supreme Court by reason of his having
reached the age limit after judicial
service of more than generation, was
as well deserved IA it was cordial.
Justice FREEDMAN is one of the many
American citizens of foreign birth who
have rendered distinguished services on
the judicial bench of New York He is
a native of Nuremberg in Germany.
where he was born seventy years ago
That town entered into the Protestant
movement in the early days Of the Refor-
nation, and still its Protestant popula-
ton IL preponderant Judge FREEDMAN
was brought up in the strictest school
of Lutheranism When he came to this
country in 1851 that school of Protestant
ism was relatively small in its American
representation, though Dutch Lutherans
were among the first settlers on Manhat-
tan Island and German and Swedish
IMtherans came over in very considerable
numbers in the seventeenth and eigh-
teenth centuries. Now, in its various
divisions, Lutheranism is one of the
three greatest Protestant denominations,
and its numerical growth in the last
generation has been among the most
remarkable. II now has nearly two
million adherents in the United States.
and Of the Protestant Churches only
the Methodists and the Baptists are more
numerous in their membership, Lu-
therans in the United States are more
than twice as many rs Episcopalians
Between 1890 and 1900 they increased by
about half a million.
II was at the dedication OF a Lutheran
church in Washington last Sunday that
President ROOSEVELT made the rather
remarkable address or preached the
sermon in which he spoke Of Lutheran
ism as one Of the two or three greatest
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1905-02-05

and most important national Churches
in the United States and as one of the
forces that are to tell for making this
country even greater in the future.
/ This il the enumeration of the chief
Protestant Churches in the United States
in the order Of their strength in numbers:

OF the Lutherans, there are enumer-
ated twenty-five more or less distinct
branches The doctrinal distinctions
between them and the related Protestant
denominations we need not undertake
to define, for the points of difference
once the cause Of bitter controversies,
are of relatively small consequence in
these DAYS of indifference as TO such
matters.
The Federation OF Churches enume-
rates the Roman Catholics in the United
States in 1908 as $3.50, pa but the Catholic
Directory for that year puts their total
/ AZ II ,Ss7,3l7. Another important element
in this country il now the Jewish, which
exceeds a million. and in the city of New
York alone is more than 600 in number
and is now increasing by immigration
more than any other race of foreign
blood. This great Jewish accession to
| this country must have important results,
religious, political and social Until
/ fifteen years ago the Jews were scattered

factors in American life, and at time
when there is so much dispute concern

1 ity, even in churches and theological
seminares their influence is likely to be
! especially notable.
The announcement on Thursday that
the Union Theological Seminary Of New
