In one of his books a celebrated
English writer has a chapter on con-
verts, and, to the great surprise of
those who are informed upon the sub
3ect, he argues that the Christian
church is making little Roadway today,
That converts are few and that con-
versions are almost thing of the
past. Strange that a man. usually so
well informed, should have so little
knowledge of the churci,'s work in this
respect. The source of his Information
must have been limited. or what he
says may be true of England, but it is
surely not true concerning the church
at large. The fact Is that the church
has probably never striven harder for
converts and was never more success

tween the great Wales revival and
