the payment Of more thar 5000 by the
American Surety company in district

The company went surety for Pat Nor

GAIN IN CHURCH
ROLLSFOR YEAR

Catholic Church Has
Largest Increase.

The increase in membership Of the
churches Of the United States, Catho.
lie and Protestant during 1925 was
4S9.556, less than one-haIf the In.
crease Of the previous year and the
smallest in six years.
There was a decrease Of SAT in the
number Of ministers during the year,
although the six years from 1920 to
1926 show an increase of %, ,469, a
yearly average Of 3.210. There are at
present 216,167 ministers.
These figures were compiled by DIR.
II. K. Carroll for the Christian Herald
of New York City Their appearance
each year is awaited by the various
church leaders and they are accepted
as authoritative.
Commenting on the survey, DR.. Car
roll said:
IF we cannot announce the results
Of our statistical report Of the
churches for 1926 with the Jubilaut
note of year ago, we can say there
is an advance and not a retreat. The
net gain in communicates is 489 $50,
which means that all losses from
death. withdrawal and exclusion have
first been filled with new members,
and nearly half a million remain TO
increase the strength and service Of
the various religious bodies"
'PrIning" Blamed for Drop.
The lower rate Of increase in mem
hership DR.. Carroll attributed to "the
pruning Of membership rolls by elm
inating large numbers of absentees
and the inactive"
According to the report, the largest
gain was made by the Catholic Church.
An increase Of 146, ,257 has brought
ths total con1munic.-nt membership TO
16193,I71, although 1t is explained
that the Catholic system Of counting
members avoided loss by pruning.
A decrease of 1887 was revealed In
the membership OF the Disciples
Church, and a loss Of 10,9S0 in the
ssoIored Methodist Episcopal Church.
The Methodist Episcopal Church has
a total membership Of 4,545 S66, an
increase Of $4,000. The third largest
denomination, the Southern Baptists,
gained 65,91S, making the member
ship 1910 ,969. The Protestant Epis.
copal Church, with membership OF
1.1T3.6T9. gained S,76S.
