Religious Denominations Grow
Faster in Numbers Than the

The churches of the United States
have not suffered financially from the
European war and the increased cost

of growth been reduced the past year.
They have given freely toward the mil

yet maintained their own regular work.

and educational, with undiminished
force. The Year Book of the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ in
America for 1917, edited by DR.. II. Is.
Carroll, gives full statistics. showing
that the religious bodies, Catholic,
Protestant and Eastern Orthodox, had
in 1915 an aggregate of over 100000
communicates or members. crossing the
forty million mark by about 1900.
The net increase of the year was f4i,-
600, or 100000 more than the increase
for 1915. In 1890 the total religious
strength was 20,61S,000, so that In
twenty-six years following the net in

The churches. therefore, gained faster
than the population.
OF the gains in 1916, about 216,0OO
were of the Roman Catholic and some
100000 of the Protestant bodies. Among
the latter 10000 are credited to the
Methodist. $4,000 to the Baptist, and
upward of 10000 to the Presbyterian
and Reformed group. The Episcopal
Church had a gain of $4,000 and the
Lutheran bodies of 10000
The gain in 1916 in number OF
churches was small, only III. In the
previous year, however, there was
net loss. The smallness Of the increase
this year is due to decreases reported
by several denominations and denolni-
national groups. The Disciples of
Christ sustain an apparent loss OF 1G3.
caused by faulty method of counting in
previous years; the Methodist Episco-
pal Church loses 6S, the Northern Bap-
lists 80, the Northern Fresbyterians 81,
the Episcopalians Z. These and other
losses reduce the considerable gains OF
the Roman Catholics, 199, the United
Brethren, 20, the Lutheran Synodical
Conference, los. etc. 1t is quite proba-
BILE that churches, particularly in the
rural regions, are being closed or meiS-
ed for the sake of economy and eiiic-
iency.
The gain in ministers is 2,6l3. which
is nearly double that of 1915. The larg-
est gain, AIS, is reported by the Roman
Catholic Church; the Baptists added
365, the Lutherans 159, and other bodies
smaller numbers.
