50. Four miles from Oneida, Madison County, New York, is located an
organized community the members of which call themselves "Christian
Perfectionists." It was started by Mr. John F. Noyes, a native of
Brattleboro, Vermont.
They have now a community in Oneida, Wallingford, Conn., New Haven,
Conn., and New York, which consisted of 255 members in 1867. This is
an average annual increase of 10.
51. The "Catholic Apostolic Church," or "Irvingites," originated from
the views of Mr. Edward Irving, preached in London in 1830.
There are about a half-dozen of these congregations in this country,
estimated to contain 250 members.
A number of small nuclei of perhaps future denominations exists in
different states, which it is unnecessary to mention.
A recapitulation of the preceding statistics presents the following
results:
