CHURCHES FALL OFF Small Increase of Church Rolls In 1929; Only One-Thkd of 1928 New York.— An increase of only 300,000 in Christian church membership in 1929, as compared to n gain of 1,000,000 the previous year, was reported today by the Christian Herald in its annual church census. In the Methodist church, for many years the leader in gains, there was an actual decline of 2,440. Some Me thodist sects gained, and these gains were sufficient largely to offset a decline of nearly 25,000 in the Me thodist Episcopal church, to which the Herald refers as “the oldest, larg est and most vigorous member of the i group from the beginning of 1765.” The decline in church memberships increase generally was explained by the Herald as really a return to the normal ration. Last year, when the 1,000.000 gain was registered, was said to be an unusual one. The gain in the Roman Catholic church, the largest of all in point of membership, was 77,307, against 360, 153 in 1928. This diminished gain, the Herald said probably was due to neglect of some of the dioceses to report. General figures for all churches are: Min. Chs. Com. 1928 222,202 238,371 49,706,147 1929 225,001 237,290 50,^)6,566 Gains or losses for the two years are. Min. Chs. Com. 1929 2.799 *1,981 300,419 1928 4,998 2,380 111,984 *Loss. Numerically, the Catholic Church remained well in the lead of any oth er church. Next come the Methodist bodies, the Baptists, Presbyterians the Disciples df Christ and Protest ant Episcopalians.
