CHURCH GOERS.

THE percentage of population which attends church is small in every country known as "Christian." In our western States and Territories it is exceedingly small. In California it is said to be about two per cent., while in Nevada it has been reported that not more than one per cent. of the population is church-going. It will be surprising to most of our readers to learn that the largest per cent. of church attendance is found in the Feejees, namely, about eighty-five per cent. A few missionaries from the Feejee Islands to the United States would not be out of place; only it is to be feared they would backslide if brought into association with American Christians!
