Church Membership Increase in 1903

By Editor

ONE of our brethren writes that a certain Baptist paper publishes the statement that the decrease of membership in the churches of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination during 1903 was 9,011, and asks whether this report is true. In reply we will state that the official report of the membership of the body, as given in the Year Book just issued, gives an increase of 1,580 during the eleven months ending Nov. 30, 1903. This is small enough showing, but there is quite a difference between a gain of 1,580 and a loss of 9,011.
