Presbyterian. The same is true OF less
known organizations. There are fifteen
Mennonite, seven Adventists, four bunker
or Dunkard and four Quaker or Friend
bodies.
There appears no division in either the
Roman Catholic or Protestant Episcopal
church. although II Is shown that efforts
10 modify their creeds have resulted In
the establishment OF independent bodies.
They are designated as the Reformed
Catholic and the Reformed Episcopal
churches, respectively. The Reformed
Catholic number only 1.250 communicates
while OF the Reformed Episcopalians there
are about s.6S2.
Reasons for Divisions.
The cause OF origin of some OF the
branches is indicated by the name For
instance, there are General Baptists,
Separate Baptists, United Baptists, Free
Baptists, Freewil Baptists, United Ameri-
can Freewill Baptsts Primitive Baptists,
General Six-Principies Baptists, Seventh
Day Baptists, Duck River Baptists and
Two-seed-in-the-sp Spirit Predestination Bap-
lists
The civil war caused splits, giving rise
to Southern Methodist and Southern Bap-
fist bodies. In these churches there is also
color division. Two or three churches came
into existence just after the close Of the
war as a protest against political preach
ing. Many Of the branches OF the Lutheran
church are due to differences in nationality.
OF other branches besides the Duck River
Baptists. owing their names TO localities,
are the River Brethren and the Workers,
both branches OF the Brethren denomination.
The former began existence on the susque-
hanna river; the latter in York county,
Pa, The Brinsers also Brethren, are called
after their first bishop as are also the
schweekenfelderv.
Three Newest Churches.
Three Of the newest churches mentioned
are composed largely OF colored communi-
cants. One OF these, the Church Of God
and Saints OF Christ, accepts the ten com
mandments as a positive guide TO salvation
ana uses only scriptural names for its mem-
bers. The Church OF the Living God" be-
gan business in 1899 and already has three
branches. The Free Christian Zion Church
Of Christ. founded in 1905. protests against
all attempts to tax members for the support
OF churches
There were about 100 organizations in the
main branch OF the Salvation Army, with
q membership of about 5000. There were
455 organizations Of Spiritualists with over
IS, 900 members.
The report records the rapid disappear
ance of communistic societies, showing that
Of eight organizations mentioned in the
census OF 1890, only two are left, the sur
vivors being remnants Of the Shakers and
Of the Amana society.
