pansion cof (listr:‘.ct?ng lAnflnenc,_eg. the
churches of Amé'rig‘u,,hzwe showed, a
membership gain of 690,000 in 1924,
According to a census of religious
compiled by Dr. F. K. Carroll for the
Christian Herald, the total member
ship in churches of this country now
is 46,142,000. A gain of 366,000 is re
rorted for the evangelical churches.
Changes are gradually appearing in
the order of ¢ ...minations ac to num
bers. The Reman Catholic uhur(:hi
keeps well in @ :.'n('te of all the u!hpri
communions with nearly 16,000,000
communicants and its more than 18.-‘
000,000 population. Its estimated in
crease in 1924 was over 220,000. ‘
Methodists Are Second
The second largest hody is the Meth'
odist Episcopal church with 4,438,494,
Ir order’ of strength, the ()lh(-l'!
churches with more than 1,000,000 are’
The Smnhvrn Baptist convention, over |
3,000,000; the Negro Baptist cunvun-l

When the order by groups is con
sidered, after the Reman Catholic and

must not bhe forgotten that these
