At the recent church congress in England the bishop of Ripon congratulated his audience that, during the century now ending, the adherents of Christianity had increased from 200,000,000 to 500,000,000, and that Christian nations now wield sovereign influence over 800,000,000 out of 1,400,000,000 of the earth's population, but, says the Episcopal Recorder, those who believe in the necessity of the new birth of individual souls and their personal union with Christ will find but little ground for encouragement in the statement, as they ask how many of that vast multitude of adherents are true members of Christ.
