Roman Catholic Growth in Missionary Fields

ROMANISTS were never more alive than now; their priests never labored with greater zeal; they were never more successful in perverting souls. According to the Missionary Annual of 1889, recently published, Rome’s increase in the missionary fields has been great. Since 1886 the increase of Roman Catholic church members in Europe has numbered 118,553 souls; in Asia, 87,113; in America, 486,861; and in Oceanica, 142,807.
