Few people realize that the denomination known as the Disciples of Christ, or Chnstians, is in numbers the rif th ecclesiastical b idy iu this country, having more than 600,0U0 commumcants, and increasing at the rute of 50,000 annually.

And wben Christian people do wuke up to this faut and realize Uu awful meaning, we believe that they will apply themselves with a fury of earnestness to wipe away the peril and reproaoh whioh suoh a state of society now layi upon their shoulders.
