It is larger than the membership of any other Protestant denomination here, except the Baptist, and one-half as large as the Roman Catholic membership. The numbers of the different Metho- dist bodies in Washington are as follows: Methodist Episcopal, 16,910. Methodist Episcopal South, 6,306. Free Methodist Church of North America, 60. African Methodist Episcopal, 2,719. Methodist Protestant, 1,383. African Methodist Episcopal, Zion, ,448. Colored Methodist Episcopal, 1,012. African Union Methodist Protestant, 18. It will be seen that the Methodist iscopal branch accounts for 49 per zent of the total Methodist denomination in Washington. In the United States as 2 whole, it accounts for 50 per cent. ‘With a total membership of 8,080,000, the Methodist denomination is the sec- ond largest Protestant denomination in by the Baptist, with 8,440,000 members. The total church membership in the United States is 54,600,000. Accordingly, the Methodists account for 151 per cent of the total church membership of the country. Since they account for 15 per cent of the total church membership in Wash- ington, the Methodist proportion of church members in this city is approxi- mately the same as in the country as a whole. ‘The strength of the different Metho- dist bodies in the United States is as follows.

The church edifices of the 52,- 300 Baptist churches reporting under this head were valued at $470,000,000, an average of $9,000 per Baptist church. The total expenditures during the year of the 59,500 Methodist churches reporting under this head were $152,- 000,000. This comes to an average of $2,555 per church. The total expendi- tures of the 54,000 Baptist bodies re- porting under this head were $98,000,- 000, an average expenditure during this year of $1,800 per Baptist church. Is Methodist Church Growing? As stated above, Methodist churches aecount for 151 per cent of the total church membership of the United States. Ten years previously it was 17 per cent. Almost 80 per cent of the Methodist Episcopal churches in the United States is'in rural territory. However, they have only 46 per cent of the total church membership, for the average urban M. E. church has a membership of 403, as against an average membership of 90 per_each M. E. rural church. Of the total Methodist Episcopal membership one-third is male and two- thirds female. The average Methodist Episcopal church edifice is valued at $51,169 in urban territory and at $6,623 in rural. The average expenditure per Methodist Episcopal church is $10,500 in urban territory and $1,575 in rural. As stated in a previous article, the percentage of church members by de- nominations probably vary somewhat from the entire religious alignment in the United States, as in some denomi- nations adherents are more prone to be- come officially affiliated with a church than in others.
