A real live religiuri: is Presbyterianistu, ,if one May judge by Tho, remarkably state, of. affairs resealed by a recentan alyeis ar the last census. Aoeordiog to this census, the Sicoteit proportion rtion of the population in 'Canada has fallen, .during the past !decade, from 14.90 to .13.85. Telt to the 'same decade .the Presbyterians have raced ahead of the Methodists, and now numibtr the:targest Protestant body in Canada. The bulletin of reitgioas shows that in 1901, the Methodists headed the Protestant list with 91.6,880 church snemtiers and adherents, followed by the Presbyterians with 912,442. Now the .positions''are reversed, notes the Mon- treal Witness, with the. PreslOfterians numbering 1,145,234, ardi.t Methodists' 1,079,829 Birt. tote largest percentage of increase is by no moans carried oft' by the Presbyterians, It is claimed by the Anglican eburolt, with :e percentage -of in- eieate of 536%5, the total number now being 1,043,017 'T'he Presbyterians come next with 12.30 percent. ;'then the Roman; Catholics with 27.00 ; the Baptists t'itli 20.33, and the Methodists -with 17.78. It may be assumed that; immi- gratioic from, the two national churches • has ranch to do with these comparative figures. IS the uniori of Presbyter- ians and bietbodists ds carried throygb, there will be a de-. ,acomination° almost as large as the Roman Catholic Church an Canada, which numbers 2,833,041, while if all the (Much - .es, Anglican and Nonconformist alike, were united, the total Would be 3,664,890, or close upon a. million in excess at the Raman Catholics.
