Trends

Growth During 1922. The Federal Council of Churches, which includes 30 denominations and three-fourths of the Protestant church membership, reports that 1922 brought into all churches an increase which was 50% above the average of the last five years.

Mormons. The centennary of Mormonism will be celebrated on Hill Comuran, near Palmyra, N. Y., in September, 1923. It was here that Joseph Smith, according to the Mormon faith, received from God the engraved plates which he translated and added to the Bible as The Book of Mormon.

More Religion. According to S. Parkes Cadman, "the crowds at Lenten services in Washington, Boston, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Syracuse and other cities are double and even triple what they were last year. . . . In 100 years there'll be no denominations. But in 100 years there will be more religion than ever."
