Enumerators' Returns Reveal Many Shades of American Faith Communistic Societies Fewer. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER.

Washington, August freedom in the United States shelters under its tolerant and ample folds thousands of representatives of a number of the so-called heathen beliefs, in addition to more than 200 various sects of Christianity, according to Census Bureau statistics dealing with the religious life of the country. Among the former are Confucianists and Bahaists, who are engaged in an organized way in the spread of their doctrines in this country. The date forming the basis of the volume in question was gathered in 1906. It is now in proof, but there is no assurance as to when 11 will be given to the public. In dition to statistics of the various denominade.

tions, the work will present a brief history each; also, the pertinent facts regarding their doctrine and policy. The compilation ig the work of Dr. Edwin M. Bliss. Up to the time of the investigation there had been no effort to effect any organization for the promotion of Confucianism, but the text tells of a society of the Chinese sage's followers, which was organized in New York City in 1907, among the Mongolian students in Columbia University.

System of the Ethics. Contending that Buddhism is only system of ethics, they undertook to demonstrate that Confucianism was a real religion and so a regular system of services was established by a well-defined organization. The organized followers of Buddhism are Chinese and Japanese. Their churches, known officially as "temples," by the irreverent are referred to as "joss" houses. There are (2 Chinese and 12 Japanese temples in this country, the former being distributed over 12, the latter over three states.

California shelters all three of the Japanese and more than half of the Chinese houses. About 40 which went down under the San Francisco cataclysm had remained in ruins to the time of the enumeration. New York boasts 15 of the Chinese temples, the remainder being scattered over 10 states, mostly in the West. The Chinese Buddhists have only one priest in this country and conduct no recognized system of worship. There is no record of membership; they have no sermon; keep no Sabbath and have no religious service.

Three deities are recognized in the American temples, the God Kuan, a mighty duke of the ancient Han dynasty: the Goddess of Fortune and the Goddess of Mercy. Progressive Buddhists.

In 1905 their membership this country was 2,387, of which 778 were females. There is no Shintoism, an explanation of which is found in the fact that this religion attaches itseif too closely to the person of the Japanese Emperor. In a way, the Hindu religion is represented by the Vedanta Society, with organizations in New York, Pittsburg, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

It was organized by some Hindu teachers who came here in 1893 to the World's Fair. Its name is from an ancient Hindu philosophy meaning "the end of all wisdom." It is nonsectarian, seeking to harmonize all religious Oriental philosophies as taught by the Thesophista, have four bodies with 2,336 members in the United States. Comparatively New Sect. While Bahaism, strictly speaking, is nonchristian and foreign, its followers are native and not necessarily unchristian. This is a comparatively new sect, growing out of the teachings of a Persian leader of the middle of the last century, named Alt Mohammed.

He claimed to be the forerunner whom God would manifest," and called himself "Bab," or "The Gate." Later came 'Baha Ulla, who claimed to be the one whose coming had been foretold, and from him the real name of the body is derived. In 1906 he had 1,280 followers in the United States, who worshiped in 24 pluces through 14 states. They teach tolerance, love, charity and regard all religions as divine. Hence, they profess not to interfere with the ordinary doctrinal beliefs of their members.

Their. communicants are generally Armentans, many of whom fled to this country to escape persecution. Foreign Organizations. The Eastern orthodox churches, or Greek Church, has 129,606 communicants. This is the state church of Russia and Greece.

The same is true of less known organizations. There are 15 Mennonite. 7 Adventists, 4 Dunker or Dunkard and 4 Quaker or Friend bodles. There appears no division in ether the Roman Catholic or Protestant Episcopal Churches, it is shown that efforts to modify their creeds have resulted in the establishment of independent bodies. They are designated as the Reformed Catholic and the Reformed Episcopal Churches, respectively.

The Reformed Catholics number only 1,250 communicants, while of the Reformed Episcopalians there are about 9,682. The cause of the origin of some of the branches is indicated by the name.

The Civil War caused splits, giving rise to Southern Methodist and Southern Baptist In these churches there is also color division. Two or three churches came into existence just after the close of the war as a protest against political preaching.

Many of the branches of the Lutheran Church. are due to difference in nationality. Of other branches, besides the Duck River Baptists, owing their names to localities are the 'River Brethren and the Yorkers, both branches of the Brethren denomination. The former began existence on the Susquehanna River; the latter in York County, Pennsylvania. The Brinsers, a'so Brethren, are called after their Arst Bishop, as also the Schweckenfelders.

Colored Communicant. Three of the newest churches mentioned a are composed largely of colored communiTa cants. One of these, the Church of God and Saints of Christ, accepts the Ten Commandments as a positive guide to salvation and uses only scriptural names for its members. The "Church the Living God" began business in 1899 of, and already has three branches. The Free Christian Zion Church of Christ, founded in 1905, protests against all attempts to tax members for the support of churches.

There were about 700 organizations in the main branch of the Salvation Army, with membership of about 23,000. There were 455 organizations of Spiritualists, with over, 35.000 members. The report records the rapid disappearance of communistic societies, showing that of eight organizations mentioned in the census of 1890, only two are left, the survivors being remnants of the Shakers and of the Amana Society.
