DOL In 2 states, Wyoming and Colo
RADIO, the largest proportion, although
not a majority, of the members, were
Roman Catholics, and in l state
Idaho, the largest proportion were
Latter-day Saints.
In only 8 states did a majority of
the members belong to one of the
subclasses of Protestants In Geor-
gia, $40 per cent belonged to Baptist
bodies in Mississippi, SOS; in Ala
bama, 54.9; in Virginia, 524; and in
South Carolina, 513. The highest
percentage shown for Methodist bod
les is for Delaware, 45.5; for Luther
and bodies. North Dakota, 37.7; for
Presbyterian bodies, Tennessee, ia;
for the Disciples. Kentucky, 15.9; for
the Protestant Episcopal Church, the
District of Columbia, 10; and for the
Congregationalists Vermont 15
In connection with the statistics for
membership, it should be explained
that the rules of the Protestant bod
les ars such that a considerable num-
Der of persons who regard themselves
as affiliated WITH these bodies were
no included because they have nos
seen fit to fulfill the requirements of
membership, whereas the figures for
the Roman Catholic Church include
practically all adherents over 8 years
of age. Thus in comparison with
the Roman Catholic Church, the
strength of the Protestant bodies
was considerably understated.
The membership of Protestant bod
les was least important relatively in
Utah. where it represented only 2.6
percent of the total population, and
most important in South Carolina,
where it represented 45 per cent of
the total population. The correspond
ing percentages for the Roman Cath
Ollie Church varied from two-tenths
of l per cent in North Carolina to
$50 per cent in New Mexico. The
Babtist bodies showed the highest
percentage of the population in Geor-
gia, pa; the Methodist bodies, in
South Carolina. III; and the Luther
an bodies, in Minnesota; 1872. No
other of the subclasses of Protestants
showed a strength of as much as 10
per cent of the population of any
state The membership of the
Church of the Latter-day Saints rep
resented 479 per cent of the popula-
ton of Utah.
