A PREFATORY WORD

Benefiting by suggestions received, this second issue of
the Year Book has been improved for purposes of reference
by an index, by changes in type, by a better classification, and
by the addition of new tables of statistics of Sunday-schools,
of the distribution of communicants of many denominations
by states, and of the chief Protestant bodies of the world.
Other denominations would have been included in the distri-
bution by states, but they were unable to make the compila-
tion. It is hoped that they may provide for this hereafter.

The general tables of statistics include, as heretofore, those
organizations recognized as religious bodies by the United
States Census Bureau. No attempt has been made to classify
the denominations as evangelical, orthodox, non-evangelical,
etc. With the statistical information given for all, any one
can make for himself such lists as his judgment may deter-
mine. Those who want to ascertain the strength of the
evangelical churches may begin with the constituent bodies
of the Federal Council, for which a separate table is given at
the end of the Directory of the Constituent Bodies, and add
such other denominations thereto as, in his opinion, belong
properly to the evangelical group.

Hundreds of denominational statisticians and other corre-
spondents have freely furnished information, and the editor
hereby makes grateful acknowledgment of their favors.

H. K. Carroll, Editor.

FEDERAL COUNCIL YEAR BOOK

HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE
FEDERAL COUNCIL

Historical Sketch

The Federal Council held its first meeting at Philadelphia
in 1908 and was largely the culmination of previous voluntary
federative movements, the chief of which had been the Evan-
gelical Alliance and the National Federation of Churches
and Christian Workers. The important preliminary work
leading up to the organization was accomplished by the Inter-
church Conference on Federation held in Carnegie Hall,
New York City, in 1905, a body composed of official dele-
gates from thirty denominations convened through the initia-
tive of the National Federation of Churches and Christian
Workers. This conference adopted the Constitution of the
Federal Council and transmitted it to the various denomina-
tions with the understanding that approval by two thirds of
them would give it full effect. This approval was secured
early in 1908.

The Federal Council — an Organized Body

The difference between the Federal Council and the pre-
vious movements is that it is not an individual or voluntary
agency, or simply an interdenominational fellowship, but is
an officially and ecclesiastically constituted body.

It is differentiated from other general movements for the
manifestation of Christian unity in the fact that it is the
cooperation of the various denominations for service rather
than an attempt to unite them upon definitions of theology
and polity.

It does not interfere with the autonomy of these bodies
and its Constitution specifically states that "The Federal

2 Federal Council Year Book

Council shall have no authority over the constituent bodies
adhering to it; but its province shall be limited to the ex-
pression of its counsel and the recommending of a course of
action in matters of common interest to the churches, local
councils, and individual Christians. It has no authority to
draw up a common creed or form of government or of
worship, or in any way to limit the full autonomy of the
Christian bodies adhering to it."

The basis and limitations of its constituency are indicated
by the preamble to the Constitution, which reads as follows:
"In the providence of God, the time has come when it seems
fitting more fully to manifest the essential oneness of the
Christian churches of America, in Jesus Christ as their
Divine Lord and Savior, and to promote the spirit of fellow-
ship, service, and cooperation among them."

Organization

The Federal Council meets quadrennially and consists of
about four hundred qualified members officially elected by
the various denominational assemblies or other constituted
authorities.

Its Executive Committee consists of about ninety of these
delegates and acts for the Council during the quadrennium
between its sessions, holding regular annual meetings.

The Executive Committee has an Administrative Com-
mittee, holding regular monthly meetings which acts for the
Executive Committee between its sessions.

The national office and its executives, under the Adminis-
trative Committee, carry on the continuous work of the
Council,

The Nature of Its Work

The united work undertaken by the Council is indicated
by the titles of its commissions and committees. Among
these are the Commissions on Evangelism, Social Service,
Christian Education, Temperance, International Justice and
Good- will (formerly Peace and Arbitration), Church and
Country Life, Interchurch Federations (State and Local),
and Relations with the Orient (formerly Relations with
Japan) ; and Committees on Foreign Missions, on Home

History and Organization 3

Missions, on Family Life and Religious Rest Day, and on
Ministerial Relief and Sustentation.

The Home Missions Council is a cooperating body of the
Federal Council. The Commission on Temperance is in alli-
ance with the National Temperance Society. The Commis-
sion on International Justice and Good-will cooperates with
the World Alliance for Promoting International Friendship
through the Churches.

The Commission on the Church and Social Service was the
first to be effectively organized, as its work seemed to offer
a larger immediate field for common action. The Commis-
sions on International Justice and Good-will, on Evangelism,
on the Church and Country Life, and on Interchurch Federa-
tions also have offices and executive secretaries.

Other special commissions or committees are appointed
from time to time to take up special activities calling for
action upon the part of the churches.

The Functions of the Council

One of the important results of the work during the first
quadrennium was the development of a more intimate ac-
quaintance and a better understanding between the great
bodies in the Council through working together and through
the larger view which each has gained of the other's work
by means of this mutual relation. This bond of fellowship
has constantly and rapidly become stronger. One of the chief
tasks of the Council is that of educating the churches in the
interest of united action.

Its general functions require careful development, owing
to the wide variety in ecclesiastical polity among its various
constituent bodies. It is generally conceded, however, that
it should represent and declare the common conscience of
the Christian churches upon important questions with regard
to which the common consciousness of Christianity is prac-
tically unanimous. This is best illustrated by its declarations
on the problems of the social order and concerning the
moral life of the nation. For example, upon such questions
as international peace no concerted action can be taken except
by such a comprehensive representative body as the Council.

One of its important functions is the constant creation on

4 Federal Council Year Book

the part of the churches of a state of mind which has
deepened their sense of fellowship. This it accomplishes by
bringing together upon every possible occasion its widely
varying elements for consultation and common action. This
is illustrated by such a movement as the coordination of the
religious forces of the nation for work together during the
Panama-Pacific Exposition.

The national office of the Council is creating a large body
of literature calculated to increase and deepen the sense of
fellowship and develop united action upon the part of the
churches and to set forth their common obligations.

State and Local Federations

While the Federal Council is constituted solely of the
national denominations, it has a cooperative relationship with
state and local federations.

The weakness or effectiveness of local federations is de-
termined for the most part by local situations and is largely
dependent upon the community sense of unity and fraternity.

The Commission on Interchurch Federations (State and
Local) by correspondence, literature, and secretarial visita-
tion, is continuously engaged in propagating this work.

The various denominations are called upon for a small
apportionment which, however, even if fully met, would cover
less than half the expenses of the national office.

The Council has instructed the treasurer to seek for the
remaining amount from individual subscriptions, and from
appropriations in the budgets of individual churches.

Correlation and unification unquestionably mean efficiency
and economy. The work which the various denominations
are brought to do in common costs very much less than it
does when each denomination attempts it independently.

The subscriptions in the main are sought for the national
office and the Washington office of the Council itself. The
Commission on the Church and Social Service is maintained
by a large number of sustaining memberships of small and
moderate amounts. The Commission on the Church and
Country Life is sustained by special contributions. The
Commission on International Justice and Good-will is main-
tained by a special gift for the purpose, and the Commission

on Interchurch Federations is responsible for the main-
tenance of its particular work.

history and organization of commission on the churcpi
and social service

The Federal Council, including thirty evangelical denomi-
nations and communions as constituent bodies, operates in the
interest of Social Service through the Commission on the
Church and Social Service, appointed at the organization of
the Council in Philadelphia, 1908. At Philadelphia the pre-
vious Committee on the Church and Modern Industry gave
utterance to a message which was unanimously adopted by
the Council, has become historic, has since been reaffirmed by
practically all the leading church assemblies and received with
gladness by social leaders and workers in all spheres of
service.

The Commission on the Church and Social Service was
thoroughly organized, and in the spring of 1911, Rev. Charles
S. Macfarland was elected as its Secretary, its offices being
in association with those of the Federal Council.

30 Federal Council Year Book

Dr. Tippy, now the Associate Secretary of the Federal
Council, also serves as the Secretary of the Commission, in
association with the denominational social service secretaries,
all of whom are associate secretaries of the Federal Council
Commission, forming what is known as the Secretarial
Council, and Rev. Charles Stelzle acts as Field Secretary.

The offices of the Commission contain a large Social
Service Library, which adds all the latest books, has on file
about two hundred social and industrial magazines and
papers, and contains the literature pertaining to social work
issued by all the movements, both religious and general.

Its most important work is that of correlating and coordi-
nating the various denominational commissions and move-
ments; and it has already gone a long way in bringing the
denominational work into unity.

CONFERENCES

Its first interdenominational conference was held at Boston
in June, 191 1, and consisted of representatives of the evan-
gelical denominations which were definitely organized in
the interest of social service. This preliminary conference
requested that Secretaries Macfarland, Atkinson, Crouch,
Stelzle, and Ward arrange for an interdenominational con-
ference to which all the constituent bodies of the Federal
Council should be invited to send delegates. In accordance
with this action, at an interdenominational conference held at
Chicago, November, 191 1, seventeen denominations were
represented by delegates elected or appointed by denomina-
tional action, and the agreement was that the various denom-
inational committees and departments should cooperate
through the Federal Council Commission.

A third conference, -with a large attendance representing
nearly all the constituent denominations of the Federal
Council, was held at Chicago in December, 1912.

SECRETARIAL FORCES

A secretarial council was recommended, to consist of
the denominational secretaries of those Commissions having
such executives, with the understanding that the secretary

Commissions and Committees 31

of the Federal Council Commission on Social Service should
represent in the council all the other denominations which
did not have executive secretaries.

The Commission has voted that these secretaries be made
associate secretaries of the Federal Council Commission,
subject to the acceptance of the arrangement by the denom-
inational organizations. These associate secretaries are as
follows : Rev. Henry A. Atkinson, Secretary of the Congrega-
tional Commission on Social Service; Rev. Samuel Z. Batten,
Secretary of the Baptist Department of Social Service and
the Brotherhood ; Rev. Frank M. Crouch, Executive Secretary
of the Protestant Episcopal Joint Commission ; Rev. Harry F.
Ward, Secretary of the Methodist Federation for Social Serv-
ice; J. E. McAfee, of the Board of Home Missions of the
Presbyterian Church; Rev. Charles O. Gill, Secretary of
the Federal Council Commission on the Church and Country
Life, and Rev. Charles Stelzle. Through this Council the de-
nominational agencies are working together, issuing their lit-
erature in common, dividing the work and cooperating at
every possible point, both nationally and locally, and each
secretary, so far as it does not interfere with his denomina-
tional interests, is making his work interdenominational.

GENERAL PLAN OF WORK

The work of the Commission is proceeding in this way,
conceiving its function to be mainly that of bringing the de-
nominational forces to work together and stimulating their
activities rather than considering itself as an independent
body. Its "Plan of Work" has been approved and adopted by
the Executive Committee of the Federal Council, the Interde-
nominational Social Service Conference at Chicago, the vari-
ous denominational Commissions or Committees, and was also
approved by the Federal Council in its sessions at Chicago,
December, 1912, and at St. Louis, December, 1916.

The Commission is made up of about 125 of the leading
social workers of the nation, who represent distinctively the
view-point of the churches, and some of the important items
in its current program are as follows :

Close relationship is being established with the theological
seminaries, the schools for training social workers, and other

32 Federal Council Year Book

institutions of learning, in the particular interest of training
men and women for a social service which will have the dis-
tinctively spiritual point of view.

The commission has placed itself at the disposal of such
appropriate organizations as the National Conference of
Charities and Correction, the Southern Sociological Congress,
the National Child Labor Committee, the American Public
Health Association, the American Institute of Criminal Law
and Criminology, the Playground and Recreation Association
of America, the Child Welfare Congress, the National Munici-
pal League, and National Purity Congress, the National Civic
Federation, the Consumers' League, the American Association
for Labor Legislation, the National Association for the Pre-
vention of Tuberculosis, the American Social Hygiene Asso-
ciation, the National Prison Committee, the Russell Sage
Foundation Department of Surveys and Exhibits, the Ameri-
can Sociological Society, the Academy of Political and So-
cial Science, the various schools of civics, philanthropy, and
social work, and other similar organizations, and has sent
fraternal visitors to their annual meetings.

Plans are arranged to cooperate with the Industrial and
Social Service Departments of the International Committee
of the Young Men's Christian Associations, and the Industrial
Department of the Young Women's Christian Association,
and the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor and
kindred societies, so that the work of these important agencies
may be fully available for the use of the churches.

One of its most important movements is its nation-wide
campaign for one-day-in-seven for industrial workers, which
has been unanimously approved by the constituent bodies
and also officially by the American Federation of Labor.
Labor Sunday was appointed by the Federal Council at the
suggestion of the American Federation of Labor. The secre-
taries of the Commission are received as fraternal delegates
at the annual sessions of the American Federation of Labor
and also of the Women's Trade Union League. Rev. Charles
Stelzle is directing movements for the conservation of human
life and temperance among working men.

The various secretaries of the Council are developing
social evangelism and civic revivals, and they are available

Commissions and Committees 33

for the services of church federations and other organiza-
tions in local communities for this purpose.

Several important investigations have been made, particu-
larly of the industrial conditions in the steel industry at
South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and the industrial warfare at
Muscatine, Iowa. Secretary Henry A. Atkinson also pre-
pared a report on the industrial situation in Michigan and
Colorado, and a committee of the Massachusetts Federation
of Churches prepared for the Commission a report on the
situation at Lawrence, Massachusetts, and a committee has
been making an inquiry in the anthracite region in Pennsyl-
vania. A committee has also been instructed to report on
prison conditions.

The literature of the Commission is assuming large pro-
portions, and includes the reports of these investigations,
study courses and bibliographies, social service catechisms,
and similar material for the guidance and instruction of
pastors and church classes, covering social questions and
presenting them from the point of view of the obligation and
opportunity of the churches. Arrangements are being made
to secure the publication of books jointly with other organ-
izations issuing common publications, especially those issu-
ing home mission, industrial, and social service handbooks,
like the Missionary Education Movement, and the Association
Press. The secretaries themselves contribute to the litera-
ture on social service, new books having recently appeared, by
Secretaries Ward, Batten, Macfarland, Gill, Atkinson, and
Stelzle.

The churches are also working increasingly together in
local communities. Most of the federations of churches
are formed with community problems and social uplift as their
objectives.

In some cities, social service secretaries have been en-
gaged to give their whole time to the work of the federated
churches.

The Commission on the Church and Social Service has the
cooperation of other commissions and departments of the
Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America,
including the Commission on the Church and Country Life,
the Commission on Interchurch Federations (State and

34 Federal Council Year Book

Local), the Commission on International Justice and Good-
will, the Commission on Temperance, and the Commission
on Christian Education, which has assisted in preparing social
service material for study courses.

The Commission on the Church and Social Service also
works in sympathetic relation with the Federal Council Com-
mission on Evangelism, both of these commissions realizing
that their work is a common one.

During the Panama-Pacific Exposition an exhibit was
maintained by the Commission, and its work was also set
forth by daily illustrated lectures in a hall connected with
the exhibit under the direction of Mr. G. B. St. John.

Literature describing the work of the churches in associa-
tion with the Federal Council may be obtained on application
to the Rev. Worth M. Tippy, Secretary, 612 United Charities
Building, 105 East 22d Street, New York City.

The Year Book of the Church and Social Service gives in
full the information here referred to.

Commission on International Justice and Good-will

Created to promote peace and international arbitration on a
basis of justice and good-will. The Commission cooperates
with the American Council of the World Alliance for Pro-
moting International Friendship through the Churches and
invites every denomination to establish a Peacemakers' Com-
mission and every congregation to form a Peacemakers*
Committee to secure wide study of international problems
with the hope of ultimately Christianizing America's inter-
national relations, and of helping to bring in a Christian
world order.
Secretaries, Rev. Charles S. Macfarland, Rev. Sidney L. Gulick

Commission on Christian Education

This Commission considers and reports upon matters of
moral and religious education. The Commission has adopted
a plan for promoting religious instruction among the pupils
of the public schools and has had prepared an outline of
twelve lessons on international peace for the guidance of
denominational committees and editors in the preparation

Commissions and Committees 35

of a course of study for adult Bible classes, young people's
societies, missionary and fraternal societies, etc.

Commission on Temperance and National Temperance

Society

The Commission and the National Temperance Society
have been merged.

The aim of the Commission is to cooperate as much as
possible with the denominational temperance commissions of
the constituent churches and to aid in organizing such com-
missions where they do not now exist.

The purposes are to compile the information, through a
research department, of the results of experience obtained
in industrial plants, on railroads, and in the army and navy
since the principle of temperance has been applied.

To cooperate with and furnish temperance information
and exhibits to the welfare, health, safety, and efficiency
departments of municipalities, railroads, industrial plants, and
business corporations.

To hold educational and welfare expositions throughout
the United States, in cooperation with other temperance
organizations and civic agencies, showing the underlying
causes of poverty, crime, and domestic unhappiness, and the
beneficial economic results secured through temperance.

To secure the active cooperation of the moving picture
film companies, theater owners and their trade publications,
in presenting temperance information through special slides
and photoplays.

To urge the universal observance of the annual "World's
Temperance Sunday."

To emphasize the importance of temperance as an economic
issue in connection with civic celebrations on the Fourth of
July, and

To stress voluntary personal abstinence — a practical solu-
tion of the problem.

Until 19 1 5 this work was operated as a department of the
Commission on the Church and Social Service.

The Rev. Charles O. Gill has been engaged as field investi-
gator in this department, and the first results of this work
appear in The Country Church, an important volume pub-
lished by authority of the Federal Council. Mr. Gill has also
investigated rural church conditions in Europe, as a com-
missioner of the Federal Council, and his report was pub-
lished in part in the annual report to the Executive Com-
mittee, in 1914.

In December, 1915, the Commission held a Conference on
the Church and Country Life at Columbus, Ohio, the attend-
ance at which 600 delegates from 31 states were registered.
In recognition of the significance of the country church move-
ment in the life of the nation, the President of the United
States made a special journey from Washington to Columbus
to attend and address this convention. Important reports on
subjects relating to church and country life have been issued
by the subcommittees of the Commission.

LOCAL FEDERATIONS OF CHURCHES

The most noteworthy progress toward Christian unity in
the last five years has come through the cooperation of the
Churches in efforts to correct community conditions which
militate against the influence of the churches. During this
period the Commission of the Federal Council on State and
Local Federations has been cultivating this spirit of fellow-
ship. The literature prepared by the secretary, Professor
Alfred Williams Anthony, has not only helped to create public
opinion, but to indicate lines of cooperation.

The Men and Religion Forward Movement gave a great
impetus to this work. In several cities the conservation of
the messages and methods of this movement resulted in the
forming of permanent interchurch organizations. In each
case there has been a gradual evolution of these organizations.
Through varied experiences they have come to be very sim-

Commissions and Committees 39

ilar. There was formed a year ago an association of the
executive secretaries of these bodies. Each was a pioneer,
each was working without precedents, yet when these men
came together for the first time, there was remarkable agree-
ment between them as to principles, scope of work, and
methods.

Two years ago the Commission on Federated Movements
was formed with Mr. Fred B. Smith Chairman, Rev. Roy B.
Guild, Executive Secretary, and Mr. James A. Whitmore,
Field Secretary. This Commission has made a careful study
of the status of interchurch work, has brought into closest
fellowship may interdenominational and non-denominational
organizations. Recently it has been engaged in more aggres-
sive work in forming state and local federations.

At the last meeting of the Federal Council the two Com-
missions named above were merged into the "Commission on
Interchurch Federation (State and Local)." Mr. Fred B.
Smith is the Chairman of this newly formed Commission,
Rev. Roy B. Guild is the Executive Secretary. The offices of
the Commission are at 105 East 226. Street.

For the sake of those who wish to secure information about
existing federations, the following list is given of those states
and cities which have employed executive secretaries.

Note. — Where the secretary is employed for part time, it is indicated by a sin-
gle star (*). Where the secretary is an office secretary, it is indicated by a double

Besides the above named federations, this Commission by
a recent questionnaire learned that there are at least sixty-one
other Interchurch Federations or councils including laymen in
their membership. One hundred and seventy cities have
ministerial alliances or unions. This questionnaire has made
clear that continuity of effort in the church's work for the
entire community depends upon bringing the laymen into
such an organization. "Ministers come and ministers go, but
the laymen stay on forever." A Ministers' Union can render
no larger service to a community than to develop inter-
church organizations, including laymen and ministers. In
larger cities no measurable degree of success can be expected
except by securing an executive secretary for all or part time.

The literature for forming such organizations and working
out a program is now available. The Commission when pos-
sible will contribute the service of its secretary.

t Statistics include both Conventions, the incorporated and the unincorporated.

Note — The difference between the totals for 1916 and 1915 does not represent the actual increase
of 1916, for the reason that there has been one extraordinary change. The fibres for member-
ship of the Disciples of Christ have been reduced by the denominational statisticians by about
185,000, and those for membership of the National Baptist Convention have been increased by
adjustment by about 115,000.— Editor.

of the leading Christian citizens of the United States who
come from forty-one different communions, whose combined
church membership exceeds 23,000,000. The American
Council in dealing with the constituent bodies of the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ in America, works in co-
operation with its Commission on International Justice and

world order.

The American Council and the Commission on Interna-

Peace Societies 177

Churches invite every local congregation to establish its own
Peacemakers* Committee to cooperate with them in Chris-
tianizing America's international relations and in helping
them to establish a Christian w^orld order.

The Purpose and Work of the Peacemakers' Committee
is to connect the local congregation with the world movement
of the churches and to promote study in the local community
of the principles of Christian internationalism, to develop
the intelligent convictions of church-members in regard to
their international responsibilities and duties, and to render
possible the collective action of Christian citizens in making
America's international relations Christian.

Every Communion in the United States is invited to estab-
lish a Peacemakers' Commission while State and City Federa-
tions of Churches are also invited to establish suitable com-
mittees which may be called Peacemakers' Federations and
Leagues. The special work of these general committees is
to further the establishment of Peacemakers' Committees by
their local congregations and to promote a nation-wide cam-
paign of education in Christian internationalism.

A Manual of Suggestions for Peacemakers' Committees
describes in detail the available literature and the methods of
work which such committees may undertake.

Every Peacemakers' Committee should enroll promptly at
the national office, 105 East 226. St., New York City, in order
to render its best service both locally and nationally.

FOREIGN MISSIONS STATISTICS OF NORTH
AMERICA, 1916

Prepared by the Special Subcommittee on Statistics of

THE Committee of Reference and Counsel of the

Foreign Missions Conference

The following tables include an abbreviated statistical
statement of the income, staff, and mission work, so far as
these are known, of all Protestant organizations of Canada
and the United States directing or aiding the missionary
enterprise in Alaska, Hawaii, Latin America, Europe, and
the non-Christian world, excepting those "Home Mission"
Boards working in one or more of these fields. A total of
the expenditure of the latter organizations in these areas
will be found in the table of summation.

In addition to those listed, mention is made of certain
societies whose purpose is such that attention should be
called to them:

The Federation of Women's Boards of Foreign Missions
of North America, as an organization, is not responsible for
the conduct of foreign mission work. Like the Foreign
Missions Conference, it is a consulting body only. It has no
income other than dues for running expenses from its con-
stituency.

The China Medical Board of the Rockefeller Foundation,
while not a direct missionary agency, has entered the field
of cooperation with mission boards at work in China, that
medical missions may be strengthened and materially helped.
It is in process of establishing at Peking and Shanghai medi-
cal schools of the first rank, besides lending its assistance
to existing institutions in other parts of China.

The World's Student Christian Federation is not technic-
ally a missionary society. Its work in mission lands is
missionary in character, serving the students of all institu-
tions, whether denominational or otherwise.

The Mandingo Association is a recently formed organiza-

189

190 Federal Council Year Book

tion to develop a distinctive Christian African civilization,
adapted to the needs of the people. It is to be promoted in the
country itself and through the people themselves, and all
permeated by the teachings of Jesus Christ.

The Laymen's Missionary Movement, working in the
interest of both home and foreign missions, is one of the
very effective "home base" organizations.

Three additional educational institutions, with American
boards of trustees, should regularly be reported: Iconium
College, which has had its work interrupted by the war;
Peking University, which is being reorganized as the union
institution for higher education in North China; and Cairo
University, which has not yet begun its work.

Formerly these statistics were prepared by the "Home
Base Committee,"' under the direction of the Rev. Fred P.
Haggard, D.D., whose faithful work made the presentation
possible. A few slight changes in the typographical form
have been made, but no essential change in the plan of
gathering or presenting the information has been adopted.
Owing to the departure of Dr. Haggard for Russia, it was
necessary that the work be placed in new hands at a late
date. Charity with respect to minor errors will therefore
not be amiss. The unavoidable delay in doing the preliminary
work also explains the failure of many organizations to send
returns for use in these tables.

The committee is especially grateful for the ready coopera-
tion on the part of those societies and organizations which
are not affiliated with the Foreign Missions Conference. The
response from these has been as general and as cordial as it
has been from those directly related to the Conference.

FOREIGN MISSIONS STATISTICS OF NORTH AMERICA

SUMMARY

Note: — This table includes data for those areas only which are included in this survey. Incomes for
the "Home Mission" Societies amounting to $576,931 were reported through the Home Missions
Council. Allowance has been made for duplication of entries.

Certain organisations are here recorded which raise money for missions and which have their own
identity in home base activities, but whose incomes at home and whose work abroad are reported fully
by other organizations. The totals under each heading in the detailed tables are the totals for the 146

CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL STATISTICS

STATISTICS OF THE CHURCHES OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR 1916

Gathered and Arranged by
H. K. Carroll^ LL.D.

These statistics cover the territory of the United States
and its possessions exclusively. Ministers, churches, and
communicants of various denominations in foreign countries
are deducted from the denominational totals.

Where official denominational returns are to be had, they
are used. Where such returns are not available, the best
denominational sources of information are sought for ap-
proximate figures. In some cases the census returns of 1906
are the latest and only ones available. It is chiefly the very
small bodies which report no statistics.

Estimates, generally by denominational statisticians, are
given in a few cases for the increase of the year, where
denominational reports are not ready.

The order of arrangement follows the alphabet, and classi-
fication is according to name or to historical relation. The
non-Christian bodies are few and easily separable from the
Christian. A great body of evangelical churches, embracing
nearly eighteen million communicants, is found in the Table
of the constituent bodies of the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America. There are, of course, evan-
gelical bodies not included in the Council, for example, the
Southern Baptist Convention.

It is necessary to give again a word of explanation con-
cerning the figures for the Roman Catholic Church in the
column of communicants. The "Official Catholic Directory"
reports only "population," which includes with communicants
the unconfirmed baptized; that is, children who have not
been admitted to their first communion. The rule adopted in

204

Statistics of Religious Bodies 205

the census of 1890, and followed in that of 1906, deducts 15
per cent from Catholic population and sets down the re-
maining 85 per cent as communicants. Representatives of
that church object to the process, but as the rule to report
only members or communicants is applied to all other denom-
inations, there is obviously no convenient way of making an
exception in this case. It should be said that the figures for
"population" in "The Official Catholic Directory" are, for a
large number of dioceses and archdioceses, estimates, given
in round numbers; as, for example, Baltimore, 261,000;
Boston, 900,000; Cincinnati, 200,000.

The figures for Jewish members are misleading. The de-
nomination furnishes no statistics, and nothing later than the
figures gathered directly by circular from congregations by
the Government in its census of 1906 is obtainable. The
census gives an even smaller number of members than this
table, counting only heads of families, according to the Jewish
rule. The number of adults connected with Jewish congre-
gations must be 700,000 or more.

The Christian Catholic Church (Dowie) has for years
refused to give statistical information. So also have the
Catholic Apostolic branches. The Church of Christ, Scientist,
has furnished no returns for members since 1907.

Changes in the totals for 19 15 have been made. In not a
few cases the statistics officially given for that year proved to
be incorrect and were revised a year later by the denomina-
tional authorities. In other instances, estimates given in
advance of regular returns needed to be slightly increased
or decreased. For 1915 the Disciples of Christ were repre-
sented by the figures given for the previous year, those for
191 5 having been delayed by the process of revision. When
the returns for 191 5 appeared they showed an apparent de-
crease of about 229,000 members which, the denominational
statistician explained, was "due to the substitution of actual
data for random guesses." The number given for 1916
indicates a gain over the revised figures for 19 15 of about
44,000. There is an apparent heavy loss of churches of that
denomination this year due, we are told, to the same cause.
Fortunately, such immense changes are rare, most of the
revisions being of minor importance.

206 Federal Council Year Book

THE GAINS OF THE CHURCHES IN 1916

The churches of the United States have not suffered seri-
ous financial losses from the European war and the increased
cost of living the past year; as to church-membership there
has been an encouraging increase over the year 191 5. The
churches have given freely toward the millions of money
sent to the war-afflicted populations of Europe and Asia, and
yet maintained their own regular work, evangelistic, mis-
sionary, benevolent, and educational, with undiminished force.
It appears from the full statistical tables which follow that the
religious bodies. Catholic, Protestant, Eastern Orthodox, and
non-Christian, had in 1916 an aggregate of over 40,000,000
communicants or members, crossing the forty million mark
by about 17,000. The net increase of the year was 747,000, or
204,000 more than the increase for 191 5. In 1890 the total
religious strength was 20,618,000, so that in twenty-six years
following the net increase has been 19,398,000 or 94 per cent.,
while the gain in the population of the country for the same
period has been about 39,000,000 or 61 per cent. The churches
therefore gained faster than the population during this period.
Of the gains in 1916 about 216,000 were of the Roman Cath-
olic Church, and some 500,000 of the Protestant bodies.
Among the latter, 136,000 are credited to the Methodist, 132,-
000 to the Baptist, and upward of 79,000 to the Presbyterian
and Reformed group. The Disciples of Christ had a gain of
44,000 on the basis of their revised returns for 191 5, the
Episcopal Church of 27,000, and the Lutheran bodies of
20,000.

It quite clearly appears that what are known as evangelical
churches are still enjoying a healthy growth, although their
percentage of gains may on the average be slightly declining.
The group of thirty churches constituting the Federal Coun-
cil report a net increase of 254,000 members over last year,
though four of the bodies, aggregating more than 1,600,000
communicants, do not count at all in the gains for 19 16, not
having reported any later figures than for 1913 or 1914
except in one case. The totals of the group are 17,996,435
members, 139,083 churches, and 103,622 ministers.

The gain in 1916 in number of churches of all denomina-
tions was small, only 117. In the previous year, however,

Statistics of Religious Bodies 207

there was a net loss. The smallness of the increase this year
is due to decreases reported by several denominations and
denominational groups. The Disciples of Christ sustain an
apparent loss of 769 churches caused by faulty method of
counting in previous years; the Methodist Episcopal Church
loses 68, the Northern Baptist 33, the Northern Presbyterian
97, the Episcopal 7. These and other losses reduce the con-
siderable gains of the Roman Catholics, 199, the United
Brethren, 70, the Lutheran Synodical Conference, 105, etc.
It is quite evident that rural churches in particular are being
closed or merged for the sake of economy and efficiency.

The gain in ministers is 2,643, which is nearly double that
of 191 5. The largest gain, 478, is reported by the Roman
Catholic Church; the Baptists added 365, the Lutherans 159,
and other bodies smaller numbers.

DISTRIBUTION OF CHURCH-MEMBERS BY STATES

For Denominations Embracing Four Fifths of the Total
Membership in the United States

This table includes all those denominations which were
able to furnish statistics of their members by states, and it
represents only Continental United States, excluding
Alaska, Hawaii, and the colonial possessions.

Not many of the churches observe state lines in reporting
their statistics. The Baptists, the Congregationalists, and the
Disciples of Christ do, but they are exceptions to the rule.

Presbyteries, conferences, classes, synods, etc., often cross
state lines, and, indeed, include parts of several states.

The New York classis, of the Reformed Church in Amer-
ica, for example, not only has churches, ministers, and mem-
bers in New York City, but also in Maine, Kentucky, Ne-
braska, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.

The Synod of Appalachia of the Southern Presbyterian
Church, has churches in the states of Virginia, North Caro-
lina, and Tennessee.

Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church lap and
overlap one another in a quite bewildering way. For ex-
ample, the Delaware Conference, (colored) covers territory
embraced in a dozen white conferences, having churches
not only in Delaware, but also in Maryland, Virginia, Penn-
sylvania, New Jersey, and New York. Then the East Ger-
man and East Swedish Conferences occupy also part of the
same territory.

The dioceses of the Protestant Episcopal Church generally
do not cross state lines, but there are some notable excep-
tions.

The dioceses of the Roman Catholic Church, in a number
of cases, ignore state lines.

The compilations, with half a dozen exceptions, were made
or revised by denominational statisticians. Those for the

216

Church-Members by States 217

Lutherans, made by Dr. Kopenhaver, include the various
bodies of that name, but are incomplete. For most of the
denominations the figures, where not strictly accurate, are
at least approximate.

All the denominations represented, with one exception —
the Roman Catholic — belong to the Evangelical list. Three
large colored Methodist bodies, having, perhaps, a million
and a half of members, furnish no statistics of any kind; the
Evangelical Association and the United Evangelical Church,
the Mennonites, the Christian Church and other bodies give
no indication of state lines in their reports.

The total of members or communicants of the bodies repre-
sented in the table is 33,299,142, which is more than four fifths
of the grand total of all religious bodies in the United States,
Christian and Non-Christian. Any comparison that may be
attempted with the population of the states must take this
fact into account.

Considering Protestants only, the states show preferences
as follows:

Alabama, two thirds Baptist.

Arkansas, more than half Baptist.

one in eleven. Doubtless returns of the Mormons would
reduce this ilumber.

The average of the total of communicants, 33,299,142,
given in this table to the total population, 102,017,312, is as
one to three plus.

STATISTICS OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS

The larger and many of the smaller denominations make
returns for Sunday-schools in their annual statistics; but a
considerable number, including the Roman Catholic and the
Eastern Orthodox bodies, do not. The United States Census
of Religious Bodies of 1906 gathered information under this
head from these and other denominations; in fact from all
that have Sunday-schools. Quite a number of churches, such
as the Primitive Baptists, the Old Order Brethren, and other
small bodies, have no Sunday-schools.

Most of the returns given in the accompanying tables are
for the year 1916, some are for 191 5, others are for 1914 and
the rest go back to the census of 1906. Those for 1914 are
taken from the full statistical tables in the Encyclopaedia of
Sunday Schools.

The statistics for what are known as the evangelical
churches are probably quite accurate, though those given for
the African Methodist Episcopal, African Methodist Epis-
copal Zion, and Colored Methodist Episcopal Churches are
not very recent. These bodies have reported no figures of
any kind for two or three years. The grand totals may be
reasonably regarded as approximate, not exact, but rather
under than over the real figures.

The gains in the ten years since the United States Census
of Sunday-schools in 1906 are very large, reaching far be-
yond six million scholars, or a percentage of 40 — . The net
increase in membership of all the churches in the same period
has been 4,756,433 or a percentage of 13+. That there has
been an actual net increase of 6,116,622 scholars in the Sun-
day-schools does not seem easy to explain, without impeach-

THE WORLD'S RELIGIONS

The sources of the world statistics which follow are indi-
cated. It should be borne in mind that they are not very
recent, but date back to near the beginning of the present
century. It is certain that the figures given for Protestant
population in North America are much too small. The Prot-
estant population for the United States alone can hardly be
much short of 75,000,000, to say nothing of the millions in
Canada.

234 Federal Council Year Book

CHIEF DIVISIONS OF PROTESTANTISM

This is simply a first attempt to present statistics of mem-
bers and adherents of the leading Protestant communions
of the world. There are, of course, other bodies which could
properly appear in this list. It is very difficult, indeed well-
nigh impossible, to secure complete and trustworthy returns,
which shall, at the same time, be up to date.

The statement for the Anglican Communion is by no means
satisfactory. It is not very late, and it is at best only approx-
imate.

That for the Baptists is taken from the American Baptist
Year Book for 1915; and that for the Congregationalists from
the Congregational Year Book for the same year. The popu-
lation in each case is estimated on the basis of two adherents
to each communicant.

The presentation for Methodism may be accepted as fairly
accurate, and is, for the most part, of latest date.

The Lutheran figures are those of Prof. J. N. Lenkcr,
except for the United States, and are several years old.

The Presbyterian and Reformed statistics are taken from
the Presbyterian Year Book for other countries than the
United States, and are probably quite conservative. They
are in part for 1916 and in part for 1915 and earlier years.

The estimate of population is made on the basis of two ad-
herents for each member in all cases in so far as the United
States is concerned, which is probably too low for some
denominations but high enough for the general average;
it is also applied to Baptist and Congregational communi-
cants in other countries.

Population means the total of communicants or members,
and of adherents.

ANGLICAN COMMUNION

The Anglican Communion includes the Church of England
in England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland, and the British
Colonies, and the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United
States. The figures are not very recent except for the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church, which are for 1916. Population in-
cludes communicants and adherents.

SUMMARY

Population

Anglican Communion 26,758,267

Baptist Communion. 21,002,211

Congregational Communion 4 , 355 , 172

Lutheran Communion 70,509,398

Methodist Communion 32,418,330

Presbyterian and Reformed Communion 30,799,854

Total 185,843,232

This total, which does not include a considerable number of
minor Protestant bodies in Europe, and some large as well
as many small Protestant bodies in the United States, is,
nevertheless, much larger than the highest figure given by
any of the statisticians of Europe for Protestantism in the
world. Whitaker gives 171,651,000 as the total, and Webb-

The World's Religions 237

Miilhall, 177,300,000. But these estimates are not at all recent ;
they date back to the beginning or near the beginning of the
present century. Whitaker allots to North America only
65,000,000 Protestant population; Wehh-Mulhall, 69,000,000.
The former estimate is only large enough to cover the Protes-
tant population in the United States alone in 1900, exclusive
of Canada. There were in 1900 about 18,500,000 Protestant
communicants in the United States, which, at the ratio of
two and one half adherents to each communicant, would yield
about 65,000,000 population. The number of Protestant mem-
bers in the United States in 1916 is upward of 25,000,000,
which, on the basis of two adherents to each communicant,
perhaps a safer ratio, yields a Protestant population of
75,000,000. It would therefore appear that a revision of the
estimates for Protestantism in the world must carry it up to
190,000,000 or 195,000,000, unless, indeed, there has been a
large decrease of Protestants in Europe and other countries,
of which there is no other evidence at hand than the destruc-
tion of life by the war.

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IN NORTH AMERICA

The figures generally given for the Roman Catholic Church
in North America will also have to be revised and brought
down to date. According to Webb-Mulhall there was in the
United States at the beginning of the present century 11,000,-
000 Catholic population, and 26,800,000 in the rest of North
America, with 37,400,000 in South America, making a total
for America of 75,200,000. At the end of 1915 the Catholic
population of the United States, not including our insular
possessions, was 16,564,000; including the insular posses-
sions, the estimate of the Catholic Directory calls for 24,922,-
000. If to this aggregate Canada be added with 3,113,794,
Mexico and Central America with Cuba, and other adjacent
islands, there will be a total of more than 50,000,000 Catholic
population for North America.
