BAPTISTS DON'T DO ALL THEIR SHARE Church Not Keeping Up With In- crease in Popu ation. SMALL TOWNS GROWING SMALLER Hartford Baptist Association Chair- man Shows Figures to Prove State- ents Regarding Way the Church Falls to Care For Forelgners. Charts containing some facts con- cerning the state of Connecticut’s population Wwith reference to church work and workers were seen at the First Baptist church yesterday. In these charts, made out by W. E. Woodbury, chairman of the Hartford Baptist assoclation, it is said that the Baptist churches, like other evangelical churches, are in- cheasing in membership, but are not keeping up with the increase in popu- lation. In 1870 the population of this state was 500,000 and in 1910 it was 1,100,000. In 1910 the population of the state had increased 23 per cent. and from 1880, when the Baptist church membership in Connecticut was 21,766, to 1910 when it had reached 26,902, the membership gain in this church was but 7 per cent. Foréigners Outnumber Natives. The second chart shown makes known the startling fact that at pres- ent the Connecticut foreigners, the term meaning those whose parents were born outside of the United States, are out-numbering the native ‘whites. Figures show that in 1890 there were 350,000 in the state born of native white parents, comprising sbout forty-eight per cent. of the en- tire population. Of foreign paren- tage there were 370,000, or Afty-two per cent. of the entire population. In 1910 the total number born of native white parents reached 390,000. In the meantime, however, the foreign births had reached 700,000, leaving but thirty-five and one-half per cent. of the population of the old stock, while the foreign element had in- creased to sixty-four and one-half per cent. of the entire population. Forelgners Multiply Rapidly. Another startling statement made is that the foreigners in this state mul- tiply in the cities just five times as fast as native whites. From 1890 to 1910 the native whites of native par- ents increased but eighteen per cent. Connecticut . while the foreign born, or of foreign parents, increased about 100 per cent. In towns of less than 2,500 from 1890 to 1910 the foreigners increased forty | ver. cent. and the ‘natives decreased twenty-five per cent. ‘Where: the Foreigners Live; ' ‘Where do these foreigners live? In round numbers they are spread out over thé state as follows:' Russians, in New Haven, 12,600; Hartford, 10,- 000; New Britain, 9,500; Waterbury, 8,000; Norwich, 2,800 and New Lon- don, 1,400. Of the Italian race New Haven again leads with 21,600; Wa- terbury comes next with 10,300, Hart- ford has 7,000; New.Britain has 2,- 700; Bristol has 2,000; Torrington has 1,800 and New London has 1,300. These figures are from the 1910 cen- sus and figures for 1914 would show a decided increase. In Hartford Association. In the towns and citles where the Baptist churches of the Hartford as- soclation are located there is a total population of 199,000, of which 62,000 —or less than onesthird—are native whites and 134,000—or more than two-thirds are foreigners. These fig- ures include 26,000 Irish, 22,000 Rus- slans, 14,000 Italians and 1,600 Hun- garians. New Haven'’s association is four-fifths foreign and one-fifth na- tive whites. Work for Natives. The Baptist state work for native Americans—one-third of the popula- tion—Is carried on by 105 pastors and 140 churches. For the other two- thirds of the population, made up of foreigners or new Americans as they are called, there are ten German and Swedish pastors with fourteen churches, thirteen missionaries and three places where a small mission is located, but without any resident mis- slonary. Population Distribution. Among other things asserted by these charts is that the population of the largest centers is increasing while that of the smaller cities is decreas- ing. From 1890 to 1910 the towns of more than 2,500 people increased 400,000, or eighty-nine and three- quarters per cent. On the other hand the towns of less than 2,500 de- creased 8,000, or ten and one-quarter per cent. 154 Churches in State. Thirty-five of the 154 churches in this state are in towns of decreasing population. In the New London association seven out of ten churches are in such towns, while in the Stonington Union there are four out of ten churches in such towns. In the Hartford association Colebrook has two churches, Corn- wall a like number and Wethersfield one. In these towns the population in 1840 was 1,232, 1,703 and 3,824 re- spectively, but in 1910 the population had dropped off to 567, 1,016 and i,- 148 respectively. 59,000 Russians in Connecticut. There are 59,000 Russians living in Connecticut towns and cities where there are Baptist churches, yet there is no preacher for them. Even in New Britain there are only three such missionary workers, while in the Hartford association, to which this Baptist GREAT CLEARANCE SALE OF ORIENTAL RUGS IN PROGRESS Many :overs of Fine Oriental Rugs throughout Connecticut are taking advantage of this Special Reduced Price Clearance Sale Which includes spec well as more moder: and practical Oriental Rugs. iens of scarcity, beauty and extranordinary fineness as Their designs are prin cipally all-over patterns skillfully blended in soft variation of color.

FAVORS IMMIGRATION OPEN TO EVERYONE Young People at First Church Listen to Interesting Debate on Tlfllely Subject at Evening Service. That the time has not arrived in the history of the United States to limit immigration was the consensus of opinion last night at the meeting of the First church young people when the debate upon this timely subject was held. Walter Robinson argued that the country would be better off if the great influx of immigrants were to be checked and Fred Andres took the opposite view, being of the bhe- | Uef that all foreigners have'an eq@al right to enter this country. The de- bate was an interesting one and many good arguments, pro and con, were brought forth vy the affirmative and negative. The negative side presented . the best arguments and presented them in the best manner, giving them 'a clear title to the decision, but popu- lar sentiment and prejudice being in favor of the aflirmative’s point of view made it the harder to come to a just decision. However, the nega- tives got the credit for winning. There will be a cottage prayer meeting Friday evening, at 7:45 at the home of Lewis W. Robbins, Cor- bin avenue.
