CHURCHGOING IN LIVERPOOL.
The Liverpool Post took a census of the church attendance in that city on the first Sunday in November. In 1881, the. total number of church goers at morning and evening services on the corresponding Sunday was 146,469. In 1891 it was 151,846.' In IS92.it had risen to 178,477. This year there was an increase noted in the attendance at the evening services, but a decided decrease in the attendance at the morning services in all but the Roman Catholic churches, where it had risen from 12,200 to 19,600 in ten years. At the evening services t ie total attendance was 107,000, or, roughly speaking, one seventh ot the total popu--1 ition of the city. Of these, 41,400 were Anglicans, 50,100 Non-conformists, and 15,700 Roman Catholics, an increase in each case of 4600, 6500, and 5800 in ten years. The figures of Liverpool are said to be typical of all the large cities of England, except London, where, it is said, the proportion of church goers is much lower, and will show, if not an actual loss in the last en years, very small gain.
