THE Eastern front and when Russia

positive answer can be made to either
of these questions at this time. We
may get some light upon the first
by noting that the Russian losses since

sufficient rear guard action to pro-

Worth Thinking About

members and about 100000 or S.
100000 Roman Catholic members
Added together, these make almost
one-third of the population OF these
two countries. In other words. II we
divide our field to be reached in
North America by the number Ct us
that ought to be active as Christian
workers. each one Of us has TO reach
two persans in order to make North
American wholly Christian. Against
that every missionary has 10000 peo-
pie to reach, or field exactly $4,000
times the average size of the field of
each one OF us here at home. Yet
home of you, In your thought about
your tremendous inheritance, are
wondering whether this country or

to decide to go away
