$1,647, ,701 1872. or an increase of more

HOTEL,
CHESAPEAKE BEACH,
SWEPT BY FLAMES

Chesapeake Beach, a popular
summer and amusement resort in
Calvert county, just across the
border line of Anne Arundel, pa
tronized chiefly by Washington
ians, was visited by a disastrous
fire this morning.
The fire which is said to have
been of an undetermined origin,
started in the big Belvidere no.
tel, a frame structure, and larg-
est building on the premises.
This building soon was reduced
to ashes. Famed by the strong
northwest winds, the flames
spread to adjoining property, in
Guiding a small frame dwelling
house, belonging to a Mr.. Ben
nett. This too, was destroyed.
The fire was discovered short
ly before 8 o'clock and spread rap
idly. Residents began to form
bucket brigades. but it was early
realized that this means of COM
batting the flames would be futile,
and call for assistance was sent
to Annapolis, and also Wash
ington. The chemical engine
truck of the Water Witch Hook
and Ladder Company was dis
pached to the scene, as were also
three pieces of fire fighting appar-
atus from Washington. The An
napolis fire laddies did great
work in helping to extinguish the
blaze. The fact that other build
ings were somewhat widely sep
arated from the hotel, prevented
a more serious conAagration.
One man whose name could
not be learned here, who occu-
pied the Bennett dwelling, is said
to be missing. Whether he lost
his life in the fire. or went to
Baltimore and remained over last
night, could not be ascertained.
The destroyed hotel was
large structure, containing, it is
said, nearly 100 sleeping rooms.

pparently is growing more religious.

he religious bodies in the United
tates made their greatest growth
uriRg last year. The increase is
,22O,42S members over the previous
ear.
The present membership of all re-
igious bodies according to the latest
vailable figures is 47,461, ,55S. This
increase is approximately SO per cent.
greater than the average for the pre-
ceding five years. There was a gain
OF 1881 congregations and l5.252 min
listers. The total number of congre-
cations is now 243,59O. They are led
by 214,5S3 ministers.
Average OF 3,345 A Day
According to these figures. church
representatives point out that each
day in 1922 an average OF 3.S45 per-
sons joined the various religious bod
les; AZ ministers were ordained or
licensed; and 26 congregations were
organized f
The shortage in; clergy is not as
great as the fact that there are 2S.-
O07 more congregations than minis
ters would indicate. Many pastors,
especially in rural districts, have
charge of two or more congregations.
Besides a number of mission and
rural churches are served by laymen.
This activity on the part OF laymeh
is one of the significant features OF
the year.
Owing to different methods adopted
by the various bodies in computing
their membership ii is hard to make
comparisons. The Roman Catholic
Church shows a membership OF 49,
104,S04 persons. Its figures represent
estimated church population and in
clude all baptized persons. Eyangel-
ical Protestant churches show a
membership of 27.454.0s0. They
count communicates only.
The thirty bodies related to the
Federal Council OF Churches report
a total membership OF 20.722,142 per-
sons. They have 149,436 congrega-
lions, served by 1907 ministers.
Their gain in membership over last
year is 869,261. Their total constit-
uency is now 59.O21,71S persons.
Total Constituency sS,s7sS67
The total religious constituency OF
the country is placed at 9S.87S,367
persons. Church officials define con-
stituency to mean all baptized per-
sons, all adherents, and all those who.

churches are placed on a comparable

church and government officials, the

ported as follows:

The Jewish figures are the same as
used last year. They are computed
on different basis from the various
Christian bodies because of their
variation in methods OF counting
membership. The Jewish authorities
estimate the Jewish population of the
United States at more than $500 900.
Though some OF the larger bodies
have not reported on their expendi-
lures, the figures already in hand
show that the churches raised $16,-
62S,S94 more than last year. The to-
tai reported to date is $505, ,052 ,978.
The greatest increase in member
