IN THE WORLD AT LARGE

The Presbyterian church has on its
Roll of Honor 173 ministers depend
emit on its relief fund, whose average
age is rs years; eleven of them are
past four-score and ten.
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation Harris shows by recent report
that in 1,098 cities of more than 1000
population in this country $50 of them
have their schools opened with religious
exercises. In 818 schools the Bible is
read, in 827 prayer is offered by teacher
or class, and 915 hymns and sacred
songs are sung.
( New York is the largest single mis-.
sion field in the world today. It is
estimated that only one-third of its
population, both Protestant and Roman
Catholic. is under Christian influence.
The foreign-descent population in New
York is larger than the whole of Chit
cago's population and they read thirty
six daily newspapers in foreign tongues.
Congregationalism carries on religious
services in fourteen languages.
Even in Persia Christian Endeavor
has reached such proportions as to justi-
fy the holding Of a national convention,
with forty societies represented among
the delegates, most of whom came on
the backs Of horses or donkeys.
