IAN UNCONSCIOUS HUMORIsTn

TO the Editor ot the EUcubtg Ledger:
Tlr-In the long letter OF the Rev. Dr Robert
Johnston HppearinE in tonights issue of your
paper note that this worthy divine states with
commendablo candor he would rather fight
man preach the Gospel at this hour" Would
'hat we had more of the clergy with this pug
nacious disposition rather than the peace on
eafih to men of good will" type, so common to
many divines aud so inconsistent.
Doctor Johnston's views, though he is 3
Scotchman have evidently been arrived at
nom an Impartial weighing of the evidence in
the case; and his statement that the press Is
a unit; the vigor of its articles, the lofty con-
cention OF right is not eNcecd by the London
press" is certain to be commented favoraby
unon by Philadelphia newspapers. Doctor john
ston is an unconscious humorist!

THE SHADOW OF THE BEAR

The picture. "Tho Wild Charge Of the Wild

excellent reproduction. As far high oNcet-

This is high praise. indeed, but II is deserNedly

photo: THE same kind of accusations as those

The Unchurched Masses
where

NN1i of the most interesting books issued
" from the Government Printing Office iS
tho Statistical Atlas. It contains moro than
500 plates and diagrams i'm which the statis-
ties on a largo number Of subjects are
graphically represented so that at a glance
one can tell which county I'm Tennessee
raises the most cotton, which county of
PENNSYLVANIA contains the greatest number
Of inhabitants Of foreign birth, where mar-
riagcs and divorces are most common. and
the relative strength Of the different roll
Eious denominations to one another and the
relation which tho churched population has
to the total population in the different
States
The recently issued Official Catholic Direc-
tory shows that about one-quartcr of the
population of Pennsylvania, for example is
Roman Catholic. This corresponds roughly
with the figures Indicated in the diagrams In
the Statistical Atlas. Next in order Of
numbers here are the Methodists followed
by the Lutherans, the Presbyterlans the mem
bers Of the Reformed Church, the Baptists
the Protestant Episcopalians. the EvanEeh-
Gals and the United Brethren. But these
church members include less than 45 per
cent. Of the population. Indeed. there are no
States in the Union save Louisiana. NIasSa-
chusetts Rhode Island, New Mexico and
Wyoming in which more than so per cent. of
the population is connected with the
churches
In New Jersey the percentage Of churched
population is less than in this State, but
the percentage of Roman Catholics is much
greater In Maryland the Methodists and
the Roman Catholics break about even, ana
in Virginia the Baptists comprise more than
ono-halt Of the church members and the
Mcthodists about oue-rourth In New York
the Roman Catholics outnumber the Prot
estants by about two to one, and the per-
centage of churched and unchurched is
about the same as in Pennsylvania. The
diagrams and maps ought to be of especial
interest TO religiously awakened Philadelphia
at this time.
