Church Debts in New York and Chicago

Recent statements inform us that fifteen Episcopal churches in New York City owe an aggregate debt of $458,000, one of them alone having $137,000 on it; five Baptist churches have a total debt of $212,000; ten Presbyterian churches owe $706,000; three Methodist churches, $79,000; five Roman Catholic churches and asylums owe $224,000; and one Congregational church owes $189,000,—these churches and several smaller ones owing an aggregate of $2,300,000. Chicago cannot be far behind New York, as the debts of its South-Side churches are said to be $500,000.—Our Dioceses.
