 It will thus be seen that the Church of England is only the fourt/i 
 Denomination in point of numbers in the Dominion, and made the smallest 
 proportionate gain of them all during the twenty year period, viz. : 15';^ : the 
 largest gain, viz : 38% ha^-lng been made by the Methodists.

 It will thus be seen that New Brunswick was the only Province of the 
 Dominion in which the Church of England declined during the twenty year period, 
 and it may be added that, with the single exception of the Baptists in the 
 Province of Quebec, the Church of England in New Brunswick was the only 
 Denomination which declined in numbers in either of the four Proiifr.crs

 It will thus be seen that the Church of England was the only Denomination 
 in the Province which declined in numbers during the twenty year period, and 
 that if her decline continues at the same rate the Presbyterian body will soon 
 take her place as third in point of numbers among the Denominations in 
 the Province.

 It will thus be seen that while there was a total gain ot 44,608 people 
 in 9 of the 14 Counties, the Church of England only gained 1,498 members, 
 and lost 3,884 members in the other 5 Counties, in some of which the total 
 population had very largely increased. The results in the Counties of 
 Carleton, Gloucester, Kent, Northumberland, Victoria, V/estmorland and 
 York are particularly disappointing, and with the single exception of Sunbury 
 County the returns are all most disheartening, so far as the Church of 
 England is concerned.

 It will thus be seen that, with the exception of Sussex, the Church of 
 England lost far more than her numerical proportion in the Towns where the 
 total population declined, and that she either lost ground altogether, or made 
 much smaller proportionate gains than the other Denominations, in all the 
 other Towns, with the exception of Fredericton ; the net result being a loss of 
 973 members to the Church of England in the fifteen Towns, where the total 
 net gain in population amounted to 10,732 people, which is certainly a very 
 poor record for the Church of England.
