Subject for the Minister.

According to reports gathered by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, prac-
tically 10 per cent of all deaths in
church congregations are caused by
tuberculosis. In a study OF $4,000
which there were 1000 deaths in 1910,
communicates of 725 churches in
the death rate among these church
members was found to be 2.24 for
every thousand communicates. This
is higher than the rate for the regis
tration area of the United States,
which was 1.60 in 1910.
while these statistics says the
national association, ARE not COM
parable from the point of view Of &C
curacy with those of the bureau OF
census, sufficient credence may be
given to them to indicate that one OF
the most 'stiious problem the or
binary church has to consider is that
of the devastation of its membership
by tuberculosis. Every minister in the
United States should give this sub
ject some attention during the week
preceding or that following April %,
