In 1936, the total membership of all denominations and rligious bodies in the United States was 63,493,036, a2 gain of 837,404 over 1935. The Catholics remain the largest single denomination, with 20,- 831,139 communicants. The Baptists lead the Protestant denominations, with 10,- 332,005 members. In gains for the year, the Catholics, with 221,837. are ahead, al- though the Baptists gained 140,308, the the Lutherans 43,905, the Methodists 41,798, the Unitarians 38,026, the Protestant Episcopalians 21,193, anl the Presbyterians 6,507. The figures show that church mem- bership showed a gain of 1.33 per cent, while the population of the country gain- ed only .71 per cent. For ten years, the ayerage gains in church membership has +been 1.65 per cent, while the average 4 opttation increase has been only .98 per Death and taxes aré’the vanity certain: cent. ties, but divorce and alimony are strong probabilities.

If this is so, or if it is even likely, then it behooves American citizens to give some thought to the adoption of measures that will tend to prevent a war in Europe It is much better, it seems to us, to do something to preserve peace than to wait until war breaks out and then debate the national course, We would not, at this time, suggest an alliance with European democracies be- cause public opinion in the United States would not countenance the dispatch of soldiers abroad. At the same time, it seems entirely reasonable that the nations of Europe might as well know very plainly (3 country stands in regards to ntal evolution and how strong is our allegiance to the world cause of demo- i Pératic government, Both Hitler and John J.
