MEMBERSHIP OF THE CHURCHES

DR.. Henry King CarroI-. TTiTor o.
church statistics for the eleventh
census, recently made a report of
church membership of the United
States at the close of the year 1907.
Partly it is estimated and partly it is
the result of careful statistical work.
Estimates are sometimes necessary,
however, if an idea of the compare
tive strength of the churches is to
be conveyed.
The church and synagogue men,
bership of the United States at the
end of 1907 DR.. Carroll places at 49,
$685. while the membership of a
year previously was placed at 3d.
$50. The gain was 627,546.
The gain in the number of ministers
was 2.301 and in the number of
houses of worship 4,214.
The membership of the Catholic
church is larger than that of any
other. The Methodist church fol-
lows. Catholic membership is esti-
mated at 11,645,4 95 and the gain
for a year is placed at 246,000. The
6,660,7S4 Methodists are found in
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1908-02-04

seventeen different church organiza-
lions. The Methodist Episcopal has
the largest membership, there being
3.036,667 communicates. The gain
for this church in year was 52,4O6.
The membership of other churches
than Catholics and MethOdists is
given as follows: Baptists 5 1924, 305;
Lutherans, 2,022, sos; Presbyterians,
1,S21,504; Episcopalians protestant
and Reformed), S30,659; Reformed
Dutch, German, etc., 430,45S;
Latter-Day Saints. $4,000; United
Brethren, 1862; Evangelicals,
1854; Jews, $4,000; Friends or
Quakers, 1220S1; Dunkards, 121,-
7O5; Adventists, 99,29S; Memo
mites, $50; Unitarians, 71.2OO;
Congregationalists, 500, 1927; Univer-
salists, 52,621; Christian Science,
5000; National Spiritualists' Asso-
citation, 10000.
The Methodist Episcopal Church
alone has more preachers than the
Church of Rome has priests, accord
ing to DR.. Carroll, the number of the
former at the end of 1907 being H.
6S1 and of the latter 1868. The
membership of individual Methodist
and other Protestant churches is, as
rule, much less than that of the
Catholic hurches.-TacOma Ledger.

SMALLPOX VS.. CONSUMPTION.

The Washington Times comment
ing upol the disease of smallpox,
says: "a
No little excitement was recently
aroused by the discovery that one of
the employees of the Public Library
had developed smallpox. The insti-
tuition was closed to the public, ev-
erybody who had been exposed was
hastily vaccinated against it, yet it
is not the most fearful illness that
could befall person. In the last II
years there have been but % deaths
in Washington to it's record, death
rate of never more than % in 1,000,-
600. In 1907 there was not one
death due to smallpox, and there
were fatal cases in only seven of
the last II years.
In the last Il years there have
been 1857 deaths due to consump-
ton. There were ISL Lass year. The
average has been about 795. The
death rate of consumption in Wash
ington has varied from 2,279 in l.
100000 to 1929 in / 100000. The
deaths in Washington due to con-
sumption for the last u years have
averaged more than two for every
day
But there is no excitement over
consump ion. No one is alarmed.
No insani,ary Offices or buildings are
closed. There is no great public
monument in Washington against
the disease. One organized effort is
being made, but even that is handi-
capped by the lack of funds. The
Committee on the Prevention of
Consumption is begging for the pal
try sum of $4,92S with which to
wage war against this disease which
has taken from us nearly 5000
men, women and children in the
last II years, and which is this very
day taking its average of two deaths.
What would two lives be worth to
Washington a day? What would
ISL lives be worth in a year? Is an
attempt to save some of them worth
$1,000. Would a $4,000 building be
torn down to save a babe that might
be in the claws of some monster in
trenched behind its walls?
The best and most sincere an
swer would be your contribution to
this committee.

RECESSIONAL.

God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far flung battle line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts. be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
The captains and the kings depart.
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice.
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with US yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
Far called, our navies melt away;
On dune and headland sinks the fire.
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nneveh and Tyre!
Judge Of the nations, spare US yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
IF, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not thee in
awe
Such boasting as the gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the law
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
For heather heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard-
All valiant dust that builds on dust
And, guarding, calls not thee to
guard
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy mercy on thy people, Lord!
Amen.
-Rudyard Kipling.

Springfield Turns Over SIS
to Confidence Man.

Ed. Kamroth of Minnesota Lake,
while on his way to Springfield for a
visit, was victlmized out Of $50 at the
union station in Mankato. There he
