Fairlawn Immediately adjoins the
proposed Anacostia Park, work upon

Record Growth

copal church, 122,975; the Southern
| Baptist Convention, 97,116, and the
National Baptist Convention (negro),
74,750. The Roman Catholic figures
indicate decrease in the rate of gain
as compared with the annual average
for the preceding five years, which was
49,, ,766.
Methodists Lead in Total.
The Methodist churches have the
largest constituency in the country,
their figures showing 23,253,S54 per-
sons. The Baptists form the second
largest group and are pressing the
Methodists closely with constituency
of 22,S69,09S persons. The Roman
Catholics are third with S,104, ,S04 per-
sons. The Lutherans make up the
fourth body with 7,043,S54 constitu-
ency, and the Presbyterians are fifth
with 6,726,69S constituency.
Probably the most remarkable gain
of the year is that of the Eastern
Orthodox churches. which show 10
per cent increase, jumping from ILL.,
054 to 456,054 members. This Is ap-
parently due to the fact that the Greek
Orthodox church is more effectively
organized and is reaching the Greek
immigrants in America.
The Methodist Protestant Church
turned loss during the preceding FIVE
years into an increase of 5000 men,
bers. While the Disciples of Christ
and the Congregational churches both
had a reduction In the number Of con-
gregatlons, they gained respectively
1926 and 19,046 members.
The Episcopalians doubled their in
crease Of the preceding year, making a
gain Of 36,S1S. The Unitarians show
gain of 1924. which Is not quite A
per cent. This brings their total mem
bersbip to 10S,560.
The Christian Science Church re-
ports 100 congregations and 3,59S
readers, but gives no figures as to
membership. The statistics of the Adj
ventist bodies indicate loss of 1851
members, their present membership
being 133,666, against 1928 reported
last year The Latter Day Saints
(Mormons) show a constituency gain
of 1864.

lowering in the rates charged by this
company. Coming into a new terri
