BOANOKE, VA., OCTOBER 20, 1892.
RELIGION IN TUI5 ELEVENTH CENSUS.
The statistics about the churches
which the Hon. Robert P. Porter gave
in hla address at Asbury Park are most
interesting and suggestive. They woro,
of course, taken from the returns of tho
eloventh census, and many of the facts
given wero then made public for the
first timo. There is, indeed, a pictur?
esque feature about the exhibit of re?
ligious growth in this country that will
attract the attoution oven of those least
Interested In Christianity. There are,
for instance, neatly 150 distinct re?
ligious organizations in tho United
States, the names of many of which are
almost identical. Good examples of
this aro tho "Presbyterian Cnurch in
the United States of America," and
tho "Presbyterian Church In the United
States."
There are also four branches of Re?
formed Presbyterians, with almost tho
same title. Four denominations call
themselves 6lmply "Brethren," to dis
tinguish which in tho returns it is nec?
essary to attach tho Roman numerals
1, II, III and IV. There are two
churches known as tho "Reformed
Church in America" and the "Reformed
Church in the United States," popu?
larly distinguished by inserting the
words "Dutch" and "Gorman" in
brackets. Moroovor, the tendency to
multiply sects is tbown in the queer
names which some olfshoots from tbo
great denominations have adopted.
Most people have heard of the Sev?
enth Day Baptists, whoso name suffi?
ciently indicates their principal tenet,
liut how fovv intelligent citizens there
aro who have over heard of the Six
Principal Baptists, or tho Mudhead Bap?
tists, or tho River Brethren, or the Old
Two-Seed in Spirit, or tho Primitive,
tho Free Will, the Original Free Will,
Xuo General Fron Will! Still again
there aro tbo Orthodox, the Hickalto,
the Wilburito and the Primitive
branches of tho Society of Friends.
And of Lutherans there arr> seventeen
or eighteen distinct organizations. Even
the smaller bodies have many branches,
as, for example, tho Mennonites, num?
bering in all about41,OOOcommunicants,
which have twelve branches.
To the outside it would seem as
though tho diiloronces between n.any
of those sects ruust be infinitesimal,
and so, in point of fact, they aro. But
those who suppose that a union of such
bodies is feasible fall to estimate the
u'.roiijnb of denominational pride, or the
persistence Ol ancient denominational
ff.uds. Basiti a that, many of these
bodies uro firmly convinced that their
creed is the only true statement of
Christi? n ity, and therefore tho more
i urnesi they are in their belief tho less
chance there is of their uniting with
the othor members of their denomina?
tional family. As a matter cf fact,
there is more- hope of union between
>me o the gr$at denomination-, than
Mtween thi ''.-r.nches of the same
denomination; en the principle that
/rf'itiiy lends arc always moat bitter.
The growth of the churches si nco (850,
only year before 1S?3 when thorn
trustworthy returns, has been re
. i irablo. In tho former year, for in?
vitee, tho number of church ediuces
38,133, while In 1890 It was 143,'456,
iu increase of mcro tlar 272 percent.
? ?/ the indiv dual churches Roman
holies snow tho greatest g.-\ in
Id respect, tho increase b.>::ig mjro
than 614 per oont. As to tho value o!
ohuroh property in 1850 it was $37,446,
371, while In 1890 it was 5031,221,303. an
incroase of moro than t>21 por cont. Here
again the Roman Catholics load with an
increaso cf moro than 1,178 por cent.,
the Lutherans following, with an in?
crease of moro than 1,0'.)8 por cent. In
the actual number of church edifices
the Methodists wore first in IS.'iO, and
still retain that position, having had in
1890 44,214 churoh edifices, tho Baptists
following with 39,412, and tho Presby?
terians with 12,463.
According to the returns tho five
principal denominations in 1890 bad tho
following number of communicants:
Congregational, 512,771; Lutheran,
1,189,514; Methodist. 4,255,377; Presby?
terian. 1,278,315, and Roman Catholic,
6,250,045. Tho other denominations foot
up tho total number of communicants to
about 20,000,000. In other words, the
number of churches has multiplied
nearly throo times in a trifle moro than
a generation and their money
value has increased moro than
sixfold. Mot the least interesting fact
in this exhibit of growth i3 tho table do
voted to the colored denominations,
which shows that thore are 2,379,100
colored church members, having church
edifices valuedatSl3,403,S29. Altogether
the eleventh census shows a most ei.
couraging growth of the churches,
though a moro caroful inspection of tho
returns will be needed to show wh9thor
or not they are keeping pace with the
growth of the country.
MKS. HAKK1SUN.
The whole country to-day mourns tbo
death of Mrs. Harrison. In this hour
of the President's affliction political
differonces are forgotton, and Republi?
cans and Democrats alike sympathize
with him in his terrible loss. The
death of Mrs. Harrison is a national
calamity.
Ab the mistress of the White House
she presided over the public gatherings
with a graco and dignity that won for
her a high place in the affection of the
people. In her home life she was a true
Christian, a devoted wife and a fond and
loving mother. Of such a woman it can
be truthfully said that tho world is bet?
tor off because she had lived in it.
"The Inside Track."
The Kittle Rhoados Company pre?
sented ' The Inside Track" at tho Opera
Lit use last night in a very creditable
manner. "The Inside Track" is full of
interesting and exciting scones and the
intorost of thu audience is kept at fevor
pitch throughout the ontire perfor?
mance.
Miss Kittie Rhoades, as Jerry Twad?
dle, carried off the honors of the even?
ing. Her adaptation of the friendless
boy was true to nature. Miss Anna La
Valloe made a sweet and lovable Vin
nie Foster, while Miss Margaret Ten
nant was an excellent miller's wife.
Krank Walcott, as Harry Denbigh, made
an ideal horo and S. Q. Ely was a good
villian.
Manager Moseley has put a largo
stove in the house which keeps tho tem?
perature very comfortable The com?
pany will produce a different attraction
each night during the week.
A Dangerous Walk.
The board of public works should give
some attention to tho condition of tho
sidewalk on tho south side of Salem
avenue from Rcanoko street to the
Academy of Music. In some places the
bricks are torn up and on a dark night
the walking is really dangorous. In
addition to this there are no streot
lamps in tho neighborhood, which makes
it very disagreeable for those who have
to pass along there aftor dark.
It Will Benefit Ronnoke.
Paul Kemble, representing the Na?
tional Magazine publishod by tho New
York Historical Society, is In tho city

edy, will be presented at the Academy

winning handsome patronage for Roa?
