THE II Catholic chrNches report a
membership OF 10000 mmunicants,
with an average weekly attendance Of
1880 and with an annual budget Of
s124 600.
"The total membership of all the
churches is 1880 with a budget Of
1921, $50 for the year. The total at
tendance of these churches for the
Sunday services and the prayer meet
ing is 1900.
The nine Presbyterian churches re-
port a membership of 1886 an in
crease in the last ten years of 10
per cent. with a yearly budget of
S55. 200.
"All that is very encouraging I
think. but there are some figures con-
corning the Sunday schools that
should make us think. The total en-
rollment Of the Sunday schools is
1886, a decrease OF 1873 in the last
ten years. We ask where are the
children? The children are here, but
what are the parents doing to make
the Sunday school attractive to them
How much do the parents feel their
responsibility in sending their chill
dren to the Sabbath school? There
never was a time when the Sunday
school was more important than al
the present, when the Bible is so lit.
tie taught in cur day schools and in
fact in our homes. There never was
a time. too. when the Sunday schools
were on the whole better managed
and better taught than now.
ITO neglect the Sunday schools Il
to neglect the sources of the man
hood and womanhood of the churcl
and of the nation. To neglect thu
Sunday schools in to fail to train fol
future service to Christ and Hi
church those who are to be the lead
ers and the workers of the church
To be Indifferent to the Sunday schoo
is to foster a great Indifference il

sanctitv and Ultimately TO mOralit
itself Failure here means to weaker
inestimahly the resistance to thos
forces of which we have spoken a
working against the church and al
moral forces in the community.
"Thus we have seen something q
the conditions in our city and of tn
forces we have with which to NEE
these conditions. We are convince
that there will not he an adeuuat
handing Of the problem If there
not a united effort. We must hav
a vision of the greatness of our tasl
Of the greatness of our opportunit!
We must came to feel that we ar

of our own particular work but tha

movement by inducing, Great Britain

Berlin, November 3O-(By wireless to
London. 7:4O p. m)The situation at the
end of the past week shows, in the opinion
of military critics. that the time is ripe
for the resumption of active operations
against the Russians, which temporarily
were hindered by the advance of Russian
reinforcements in northern Poland. The
German successes, the critics contend,
definitely have removed the danger of
any invasion of the German provinces.
Farther south the Austrians are CO.
operating to good effect and the Austrian
advance into Servia affords a reasonable
ground for believing that the campaign
there soon will be brought to a successful
conclusion and thus release troops for
action elsewhere.
An observer who has Just returned from
Servia expresses the opinion that Servia
is at the end of her tether.
In the western arena of the war the
situation is not so clear as it is in the
east, but reports continue to show that
the enemy's attacks have been repused
The Germans. 1t is announced, are gain
ing ground and thus gradually nearing a
final decision.
Commenting on the sinking of the Brit
ish steamer Malachte off Havre last week
by a German submarine, the German
press expresses great satisfaction that
German submarines are able to operate so
far from their base as to render the Eng
lish channel unsafe.
