| present state of affairs to the reflective
influence of the hard times. At any
rate, it is not often true, as it is this
! year, that the churches are full to
overtlowing and that there is positive
embarrassment in providing seating

uation has humorous side, if it be

see New Workers fiocking to the places
of worship is occasioning some bewil-
derment to many of the clergy. For
instance, at the Roman Catholic
churches in New York it is customary
to see women largely in the majority
at most of the masses. Now, however,
it is different. Men are as numerous
as women, to the mild surprise of the
clergy in some parishes.
The Episcopalians have been par
ticularly overwhelmed in the general
increase of attendance at divine serv-
ices. AT three different churches in
widely separated portions of New
York the increased attendance in the
last four Sundays has been very ex-
traordinary and has been even embar-

entirely account for it and it's unex-
pected nature continues to be source
of conjecture as to how long it will
last. The Methodists, the Baptists,
the Presbyterians and the Jews have
the same reports to make. Now that
the somber season is at hand it is rea-
sonable to suppose that there will be
no diminution of this spirit of holiness,
or whatever it may be termed. But it
has brought out the fact that for the
first time in the city's history New
Yorlk's church accommodations have
shown tendency to be inadequate
