York city. IL is to their interest 10 make
as good a showing as they can. They re-
ported BIS Sunday schools. 122. .165 scholars.
They quote the number OF conversions re-
ported. | find that among the 375 Sun
day schools there were lsl which made
no report on the number OF conversions.
In these i3i schools there were enrolled
a., ,24s scholars. These deducted from the
total enrolment left 74.sl9 that were en-
rolled in the 24i schools that made re-
port,
The average enrolment In these IA
schools was 307 The number OF conver-
sions reported was 1861 or an average Of
about six 10 each school. In other words
N took ffty officers. teachers and schol-
ars to bring one person into the church
and into the Kingdom.
OF course statistics are never entirely
reliable but they are all We have got to
70 by, and they are IS fair here any
other statistics probably. Then am
| afraid the axe is off the handle in the
hands OF a great many teachers, and
what we need today is 10 get the axe
back again.
The church has hardly held its own In
membership during the past FIVE years

day school needs today is the spiritual
power that will bring the boys and girls
into the kingdom Of Jesus Christ I won
