Carroll, at the end of 1902, show an aggregate of 28.(189,028 communicants, a gain during the year of 406,743, and a total of 194,116 churches, an Increase of 1,261. The Roman Oatholio church leads, of oourse, with a total number of oommanioante of 9,- 401,798. Among the Protestant churches, the Methodist Episcopal church, with 2,801,798, shows a gain of 36,384, and the northern Presbyterians, with 1.024.196, show a gain of 24,381: the Disciples have gained 27,850, and the Episcopalians 16,355. The order of churches, in the number of communicants, beginning with the Roman Catholic and northern Methodists cited above, is as follows: southern Baptists, 1,702,324; Colored Baptists, 1,- 6,15321; southern Methodists, 1,518, 864; Disciples, 1,207,377; northern Presbyterians, 1,024,196; northern Baptists, 1,012,276 ; Protestant Episcopal, 768,052; African Methodists, 728, 364; Congregational, 669,324; Synodical, Lutherans, 699,951; African Zion, 642,422. All the other denominations reported fall below 400,000. The Independent, commenting on Dr. Carroll's statistics, draws two conclusions : "One Is that the church Is not losing its hold on the people, as Is asserted abundantly by those who wish it so, but it is not nun. The percentage of communicants is even gaining on the population. The lnfluenoe of the churoh grows stronger and stronger. Wesee it in all reforms; we see it in the constant organization of new churches and the building always of larger and finer houses of worship. The other conclusion from these figures Is a lesson, and an old one. It is that there are too many denominations, and the smaller ones ought to gravitate to the larger ones, and the larger ones ought to gravitate together. This Is the most importat ecclesiastical work of the next decade or two." Church Statistics for igoa.
