communication.

CHARLES TowN, Aug. ?, 1903.
Mr. Editor The report Of Rev. Mr.. Neel,
which you quote from the shspherdstOwn
Register in your issue Of this week, is cal
eulated, fear, TO mislead the public as to
"the number Of schools Sunday Of each
denomination, and of teachers, officers and
scholars attending them" | have no doubt
his Figures compiled from reports made to
him" are correct, but his reports must have
been very meagre, judging from what is
said Of the Episcopal Church. Instead Of
having &c schools, &C officers and teachers,
S75 scholars, A." the Episcopal Church has in
Jefferson county, ,Omitting Leetown, for
which l can find no report, - schools, SO
officers and teachers, and 500 scholars
These figures are from reports now in my
hands, and I have reason to believe that in
stead Of $40 scholars, the Sunday-sehools Of
the Episcopal Church in this county num-
Der really 900, or nearly 1000, including
officers and teachers. Very truly,
