CHURCH ATTENDANCE.

Church attendance on Sundays

pliia. Chicago. Boston. New York and
other large eastern cities ranges from
three to ten per cent. The increase
III the number of men attending the
regular services in these churches is
especially noticed. 1t is said that the
proportion of men and women attend
ing churches which at one time had
congregations made up almost entire
ly OF women is becoming nearly equal
II the statements are true they ar
que well for the denominations to
Which they apply. In the Catholic
churches it is a well known fact that
the attendance OF men and women is
practically equal and has always been
SO. This has not been the case il,
many of the .lon- Catholic churches
The women in these churches have
been the principal church-gcers. The
awakening OF interest on the, part OF
the men Is a good sign. 1t means less
irrclizion. 1t means that the teach
ing of the Gospels will have that mucl
more influence. 1t means, ir a word
that atheism is becoming less popu.
lar.
