tants.
In thirteen of the cities more than
one half of the communicates or mem.
bers reported belonged to Protestant
bodies, while in 20 the majority be-
longed to the Roman Catholic church.
The cities showing the largest pro-
portions of Protestant communicates
are Memphis, 84.4 per cent; Toledo, 20
per cent; Washington, 66.9 per cent
Kansas City, Mo-, 66.2 per cent; and
Indianapolis, 621 per cent.

Year 1906

Other Figures Of Interest
From The Report

Washington, ID. c., June 1.-The ag-
gregate number of 32,936,445 COM
municants or members of all religious
denominations in continental United
States was reported for 1906, accord
ing to the u. s. Census of Religious
Bodies for the same year, as detailed
in part l of the u. S. Census Bureaus
special report on the subject, now in
press. OF this grand total the var
ious Protestant bodies reported 20,-
2S7,742 and the Roman Catholic
church 12,679142.
For purposes of comparison the CEN
sus authorities divided the principal
cities into four classes, those having
in 1900 population of 100000 and ov-
er, constituting the first class; those
Of from 100000 to 100000 forming the
/, second; those of from $4,000 to 100000
making the third; and those of from
$4,000 to $4,000 forming the fourth
class.
OF the Protestant aggregate there
were 1,47S,145 or 7.3 per cent in the
first class cities; Az per cent in the
second; and IA per cent in the third
S0.6 per cent were outside the princi-
pal cities.
OF the Roman Catholic church's to-
tai membership there were 1876, 453
or 27.9 per cent in first class cities; l.
361,1 1872 or 11.3 per cent in the second; !;
1,570,944 or 13 per cent in the third
and fourth classes combined; with
5,771,613 or AIS per cent outside the
principal cities.
1t is seen, therefore, that the num-
ber of members of the Roman Catho-
lie church reported in cities of the
first class was considerably more
than double the number reported by
all the Protestant bodies, while out
side of the principal cities the num-
ber reported by the Catholics was on
ly little over one third of the num-
Der credited to the Protestants. 1t is
pointed out in the report that the
strength of the Protestant bodies, as
compared with the Roman Catholic
church, is greatly understated.
Only two of the Protestant bodies
reported a majority of their member
ship in the principal cities, i. e., the
Church of Christ, Scientist, S2.6 per
cent, and the Protestant Episcopal
church 51.2 per cent; while of the
membership of the Jewish Congrega
tions, SS.7 per cent are in the princi.
pal cities, and of the Eastern Ortho
dox churches 70.7 per cent.
OF the total number of communi
cants or members reported for the
principal cities by all denominations
6,307,529 or go per cent belonged tc
the Roman Catholic church, and g.,
935,341, or 37.4, to Protestant bodies.
Comparison with the report for 1884,
shows that in general there has beel
an increase in the proportion of com
municants or members in the principa
