Not in the spirit of boasting, but simply to place before the reader some t aots, do I present the following. Speaking of our movement, a writer in the New York Independent says, "that this religious reformation has very seriously influenced the theolog ical and ecclesiastical developments of the last half century, and woo for itself a significant place in the re ligious movements of the age, and affected all churches, no one can deny." As there ia some question as to the comparative growth of the Church of Christ, I submit the fol lowing table, copied from the Ameri can Home Missionary: ,' stand as follows: Churches, 11,198; ministers, 6,070; members, 1,269,591; Bible schools, 8,952; enrolled in Bible schools, 870,622; gain ia mem bership this year, 81,076 (only about one half of gain in membership was reported, so the gain would be over 60,000;) missionary receipts, $989, 609; education and benevolence,$190, 645; local church work, $8,575,000. It may be asked how have we grown from a small congregation of 81 to a present membership of about 1,800,000 in a little over three fourths of a ceutury? We reply: By evangelism ; that was the spirit of the New Testa ment ohuroh. By presenting the bible way of salvation, viz: Faith in Christ, repentance from sin,; confessing Christ before men and immersion in to Christ; this is plain and rational; young and old can understand it. By wearing no other name but Christ's. He said, "I will build my ohuroh;" this He did and it should wear no other name but His; this speaks loyal ty and honor to Jesus , only. By as sembling every Lord's day for the Lord's Supper, proclamation of bis word and living His life; this woe the life of the early chuicb. By pleading Baptists. 13 bodies -Catholics. Roman.
