wiles aud persuasons Of the expert

OF the convention, at which the seleo-
ton IS to be made Of textbooks for use

their work after their usual style and

OF course every firm dealing In text
books and school utensils and appli-
ances has perfect right to advertise
It's wares, and representatives Of such
houses are ia the legitimate line OF
their business in soliciting the patron

are dark, and tricks that" we hope win

adopted In order 10 secure the aid and

airy value TO book firms and book
agents. These are to be guarded
against and pledges ought not TO be

UNCONVENTIONAL DECLINE.

According to a statement by Rev. W.
| II. Roberts, stated clerk of the Presby-
terrain church. OF 1000 churches belong
ing to that denomination, only 81 had
acoessions by confession" amounting
10 over 50 persons, during the year end
ing May T. 1901. More than 1000
churches reported no such accessions,
The Church Economist sent a series
of questions to the 81 churches re-
ferred 70, with view Of ascertaining
to what causes the increase probably
was due From SO churches replies
were received, and Of these q reported
the Increase due TO continued interest.
The accessions In eight cases were cred
tied to Special revival But the main
source OF aocessions was the Sunday
school TO the question, "Dd officers
and church members take an effective
party most Of the pastors returned a
"rathes, perfunctory and guarded af-

little such cooperation was had Al

was given for decision and public con.

es replying.s From fourth to one
third Of the accessions were apparent
ly from those not baptized I'm infancy.
The last question, What lire OF effort
seemed most frutulg' brought em-
phatic testimony In favor Of personal
work"
The conclusion drawn from the facts
and figures obtained is hat"theprogress
OF the Presbyterian church in the Unit
ed states is not so rapid as in former
years" And this Is accounted for by
the fact that there appears to De lack
Of spiritual yigor In all the religious
denominations And this observa tion
