church mombers in tho United States.
In all Christian churches in this coun
tryProtestant and CHtholic there aro

12,091,050 are credited to tho Roman
Catholic church. In all tho churches
720,017 comtnunicunts wore added in

mora than half of that total was credi
ted to tho Roman Catholic church,
whercau for 1908 tho Roman Catholic
