The Year Added Ten New Temples and a Large Increase in Members

Lincoln is often spoken of as "a city of schools and churches." This is a title well merited and certainly one to be proud of. What better recommendation or more honorable title could any city ask for? What could be more suggestive of a city of refinement, a clean, moral, healthy, decent place to live in? A city of schools in necessarily a city of churches, for the church and the school are inseparable companions; education and christianity go hand in hand, each upbuilds and strengthens the other and without one the other could not exist. Together they are the promoters and mainstays of civilization and all that is good, true and pure is founded upon their teachings and sustained by their combined influence.

There are but few cities, and perhaps none in the west, whose population has so large a ratio of church members as Lincoln, The last year has been an especially active one in church circles. Ten church buildings have been erected at a cost of $50,000, the most of them in the suburbs and outskirts of the city, to cover the large amount of populous territory that is rapidly extending beyond the reach of the up-town churches. Lincoln now has forty-six houses of worship and fifty-one congregations. The total valuation of the church property is $625,700. The cost of the buildings range from $900 to $60,000 each, and the average is about $14,000 for the total number. The total membership is 10,476, an increase of 1,730 during the year, which is about 17 per cent, certainly a good showing for the cause of religion. There will be many new churches built this year. The Third Presbyterians have made arrangements to build early in the spring on Eleventh between Wood and South; the Grace English Lutherans, also intend to build this spring, and the St. Marks English Lutherans have purchased ground and will commence building inside of a month. [Bne?] Jeshuran Congregation have purchased two lots at D and Eleventh streets and will erect a place of worship thereone in the early spring, and seveal other congreations who are without a home of their own have signified their intention of building in the near future.
