Slow Church Progress for 1912

According to the annual statistical statement of Dr. H. K. Carroll, the church-membership figures for the year 1912 show a much smaller gain than for the year 1911. In the latter year the gain in membership in the United States was 859,000, but in the year 1912 the gain was only 579,000. It was expected that last year the figures would be larger, owing to the work of the Men and Religion Forward Movement, in which a million dollars was expended. It ought to have been, and that it was not so, is due in large measure to the work of evolution and the higher criticism.
