FIGURES ARE COMPILED

The following analysis of returns to Nhand from various districts in the evangelistic campaign has been prepared hv Secretary Eaves of the general com mittee. fk Is evident that the figures are incomplete, ana- may easily contain errors, in spite of careful scrutiny.
 Work began" says Mir. Eaves, Easter Sunday, Aplil 19, and closed Friday May 1o. Immediately before that-period many churches had held denomination Fevlvals' some results of which are covered N6S tEf figures given. Moreover certain districts still continue special work. few items being also herein reported. The desire mas teen to fairly present the gre1t evangel- cal movement of the weeks following Easter Sunday, but including holy week. If to those were added the several hun dreds received during earlier weeks. by participating cilniches, it would be seen that very large number have been reached in this district by the gospel ill tue spring and early summer of 19os
 Restricting ourselves to the period cov cred by tte Pastors union campaign, it is found that in the four weeks there were r districts reached by 8 pastors and four evangelistic workers.
 These men worked during a total equivalent of 26O days, portions of days, holding approximately 400 meetings They were II Methodists, 10 Baptists, six Presbyterians. one Episcopalian, one Christian and one Congregational.
 Tt will appear that considerable pro- portion of the total number have been brought in through denominational effort But 1t is also evident that the old way of rivalry and attempted proselytisins does not enter into modern evangelism The great evangelical churches have no room for any other rivalry than that which 'provokes one another to love ard good works
