’ In the last issue of the Journal there
' was a qualification of a statement pre
' viously made that the Universalists had
| lost in numbers in the last ten years.
~ Whether or no this denomination has
;gained in the number of its communi
cants during the last decade I am not
aware, though the Atlanta Constitution
‘ recently published figures showing that
‘they had lost. The Constitution’s tig
‘ures show about 49,000 members for
1890 and 48,000 for 1900. The Consti
tution gave also the statistics for the
Unitarians, 68,000 (approximately) in
1880 and about 71,000 in 1900. |
I take this statement respecting the
Universalists from the ““Healing
Leaves,” a denominational paper of that
organization. ‘‘During the five years,
1896 to 1900,0ur parishes have DRORRASED
fron 1,022 to 848, our churches from 792
to 779, our meeting-houses from 885 to
770, our preachers from 766 to 768, our
Sundry schools from 702 to 628 and our ;
Sunday school seholars from 58,721 to

! than six million ten years ago, but as
| Doctor Dorchester, a noted statician,
shows, under the name ‘‘adherents’’ are
included those who are baptized in that
church whether or no they are commu
nicants. Counting actual communi
cants alone the Roman Cetholies would
have between two and three million
members. This would make the Meth
odists, with a membership of about
four and one half million communi
cants, the largest religious body in the
United States; with the Baptists, hav
ing about two and three-quarter mil
lion communicants, second.
The communions inereasing relatively
the most during the last ten years
are the Lutherans and the Epis
copalians, the percentage of their
increase being thirty-five and thir
ty-four and one-half respectively.
None of the great evangelical bodies
increased less than twenty-one per cent
which is almost exactly the percentage
of the increase in the population of the
country.
Those who do not believe in religion
and predict that it will ultimately dis
‘appear will not find mueh encourage
