From the New York sun.
Rap0rts received here from various
parts OF the country indicate that this
will be o buster season in church build
ing than for 10 years past. despite the
talk or financial and Industrial depression.
Contracts thus far let scan for struc-
lures that will cost between $2S. 900 Uo0. and
az, O0o, 900. While all OF this money may
not be spent upon the buildings before
the end OF this year, contracts uncom-
pleted at the beginning OF the season viii
make the total expenditure this year APP
Droximate $40, 00Os 900. III
This sum is about 81, 900 900 above the
average for the last 10 years.
The Roman Catholics are among the
most active this season. They are follow
ing the pattern OF Vienna, Paris and
Rome in multiplying the number of par
ishas In large cities. feeling that their
parishes in many cases are too large. In
the southern states much building OF
small Catholic churches IN going on.
The EpiscopaIians are also active. They
are building cathedrais in several impor-
tant cities. The Christian Scientists re-
port fewer building projects this year
than formerly.
New York win spend from 5000, 900 to
IS, 900. 900 this summer, chiefly on Man
haitian island. Chicago has in hand some
$4,000, 900 In church projects. The south
and southwest, New England and the
Rocky mountain regions report the
largest number OF projects, although IN
many cases amounts involved are small.

Henry II. Cope OF Chicago, speaking
before the religious education associa-

said the Present agitation for the
teaching OF religion In the public
schools is based on three misapprehen-
slons an follows:
teach religion; second that religion
can be taught as mathematics and
many other subjects can. and third,
that teaching religion would solve all
tho problems OF youthful delinuuency
and cure the general public apathy to
ecclesiastical affairs.
"In recent times the attempts TO
meet that instruction In religion has
taken on a large degree OF educational
BeTl0usness. The churches are facing
In that direction. II Is the duty OF the
state to use every endeavor TO meet ed

A LOAF OF BREAD

The next morning Battista came In
with a manner which to the observing
eve OF his prisoner foretold distinctly
some event. He talked more than
usual, and more gruffly and loudly. but
at last, after wandering about the room
some minutes. all the time talking,
scolding, he swooped on Francois and
thrust a thick paper into his coat and
at the same instant his heavy left hand
was over Francois mouth.
mot word he whispered, and then
- 1.-THE loaf OF bread"
Francois, struck dumb and blind,
turned hot and cold, and his shaking
hand In his coat pocket clutched the
letter.
But Battista prodded him with his
hard forefinger. BE careful" he
muttered, and then again, "The bread
and the door had cianged. Battista
was gone.
A strong man, who had not been shut
away from life, would likely have read
