Church Membership
Of the 42.044,174 church mem
bers reported, 15.742.J62. or 17.4
per cent were Roman Catholics;
250,140. or six-tenths of 1 per cent,
were adherents of the Esstern Orth
odox churchesf mainly Greek church
and Russian church): 159,111. or
nine-tenths of 1 per cent, were mem
bers of Jewish congregations; and
the remainder, 25.691.774. or 61.1
per cent, comprised the membership
of the various Protectant churches,
together with that of a few bodlea.
such as the Latter Day Saints, the
Spiritualists and others, not usually
considered as. belonging to any of
the groups named.
In comparing the figures Just (riv
en. It should be borne In mind that
the Roman Catholic and the Eastern
Orthodox churchea Include In their
membershln all Infants and the chil
dren who have been baptized, where
as the Protestnnt churches do not. as
a rule, rcelve young children as
members; and that In. the cane of
some of the rnnrei Orthodox Jewish
organizations only the mi!e . Incor
porators of the Institutions or those
who have bought shares or member
ships In them are treated as mem
bers. The foregoing percentages,
therefore, overstate the relative
strength of the Roman Catholic and
Eastern Orthodox churches and un
derstate that of the Jews.
