made interesting by a report on the mon

him into the church. The report was
made by Rev. DR.. Donald Morrison, who

churches is greatest. He found that the
| average ranges from S2I in villages 10
$212 in cities. In large churches the cost
is greatly increased. DIR. Morrison
showed that the cost TO church Tor
each sinner brought within the pale m
Indianapolis is $500. There was 90 4d-
verse comment ON these figures. The In
dianapolis sinner is supposed to be- worm
