“In view of the refusal of the American Bible Society to aid in circulating the Burmese version of the Bible translated by Dr. Judson, a refusal which more than all others necessitated the action of Baptists at Saratoga, in May last, the Christian Union, a leading Pedobaptist paper, says: ‘In the actual posture of things the American Bible Society is in the wrong. That wrong should be corrected.’” f1067 In Baptist growth is great encouragement. The following table on Baptist growth in the United States, is worth preserving and consulting: In 1893 there were 176,077 persons in the United States baptized into Baptist churches. As showing that Christ is a blessing to our physical bodies the death rate of Baptists is far below that of the population of the United States. Baptist net gain in the United States for 1893 was 113,828 — being a net gain in one year of more Baptists than there were in the United States ninety-three years ago. There is, in the United States, an average daily increase of 310 Baptists. The Baptist increase in the United States is 160 per cent., while that of its population is 73. A careful estimate shows that for the last decade Congregationalists have increased at the rate of 42 per cent.; Presbyterians at 55 per cent.; Methodist Episcopal church at the rate of 82 per cent.; Baptists at

the rate of 99 per cent.; Campbellites at a less per cent, than any of them, while in a number of States they have rather lost. In the United States Baptists have 54 charitable institutions; 7 theological seminaries; 35 colleges and universities; 32 female seminaries; 47 academies for both sexes. In the theological seminaries there are 54 teachers and 776 pupils, all but four of whom are preparing for the ministry. In the universities and the colleges are 701 teachers and 9,088 pupils. In the female seminaries are 388 teachers and 3,675 pupils. In the academies are 369 teachers and 5,250 pupils. The property of the theological seminaries is valued at $3,401,618; of the universities and the colleges at $19,171,045; of the female seminaries at $4,211,906; of the academies at $3,787,793; of the charitable institutions at $1,360,021. There are in the United States also 31 Baptist institutions for the education of negroes and Indians, with 176 teachers, 5,177 pupils and property estimated at $1,380,540. Under the head of education the grand total is: One hundred and fifty-two institutions, 1,791 teachers, 23,966 pupils and property worth $31,866,902. The entire number of pupils preparing for the ministry in the different kinds of schools is 2,223. The value of Baptist church property in the United States is $78,605,759. In the United States the aggregate reported of Baptist contributions for salaries of pastors, education, mission and miscellaneous objects in 1893 is $12,560,713.95. In the United States are, in 1893, 20,838 Baptist Sunday schools, with 143,765 officers and teachers and 1,430,933 pupils. Advocating all these interests are one hundred and twenty-five periodicals. Being the originators of foreign missions Baptists therein are in the lead. The Missionary Review, a Pedobaptist periodical, some time ago gave the following figures for foreign missions: CONGREGATIONALISTS.
