THE CHURCH IN AMERICA.
Features Of the Census Bulletin on
Religious Organizations.

Boston Herald.
A bulletin to be issued this month will
give the complete result of a government
census OF the religious organizations Of
this country as they stood three years ago,
a census far mere complete, official and
authentic, especially as to the Roman
Catholic church, than any ever taken. II
will show religious adherents in 1904 num-
bering nearly $4,000, 600; that is, 39.1 per cent
of the population, as over against 32.7 per
cent in 1890. The 212. $50 local congregations
then owned property in edifices worth a
billion and a quarter dollars, with indebt-
edpess amounting to only SO per cent Of
the value. OF the 80, 9S6, 445 members or ad-
herents Of the churches the Protestants
then had 20, PSI, 742 and the Roman Catholics
u, O9, 1872, and Of the Protestant sects the
Methodists led with 5,749, S3S, the Baptists
second with 5,662, 224.
This census, for the first time in the
collection Of such statistics. sheds light on
the division of church members as to sex.
and it supports the indictment of the
modern church as too preponderantly TENT
nine in it's makeup, 569 per cent being
females, the Protestant percentage Of males
being 1913 per cent, the Roman Catholic
percentage 1913 per cent. Reasons for the
higher Roman Catholic percentage are
found, in part at least, in the fact that
many Of Its adherents are newcomers n
the country and have not brought hither
their wives or daughters. Further analysis
Of the brief abstract of the statistics Is
interesting. or the net gain during the
years lsOO-O6 the Catholic church is credited
with A per cent and Protestants with Ia
per cent. The increase among Jews must
have been large. making all due allowance
for such defections as follow contact with
the liberalizing American life, for 1t is
reported that the number OF congregations
increased 2S1.9 per cent between censuses.
The gain in membership however, is not
reported
