Frequently we hear the expression
that people are not attending church

but the facts do not favor the man
with such ideas. The Bulletin of
Church Statistics shows that last year
there were in the United States 3S,-
059, 42S persons enrolled as members
of our churches. Approximately four
of every 10 people in this country are
actively identified with work in some
church. All know, from observation
and experience what a large percent

seems conservative TO say that at least
three-fourths of our adult population
are actively interested in churches
and the other one-fourth is more

event of the catastrophe of war itself
will p event the enormous initial sac

And the hearty, warm approval Of

If he earns your praise-bestow it; if
