The  number  of  admissions  (360)  is  twelve  greater  than
the  number  of  j^ersons  admitted  (348).  The  reason  is,  that
twelve  persons  have  been  admitted  twice ;  having,  at  some
period  after  their  first  admission,  taken  certificates  to  other
churches,  and  subsequently  re-united  with  this.  For  the
same  reason  the  number  of  dismissioyis  is  twelve  greater
