She testi- fled that she was made conscious of the appearance of man who some day would be responsible for her be- coming immensely wealthy, and that when she met Harvey Hon, organizer of the Texas-Gbole Company, she rec ognized him as the man."

MAYBE THE SOLDIER
 DOESN'T GO TO CHURCH
But These Figures Will Prove iliuni-
 mating to the skeptic-oniy @l 4.52s,343 Attend. 9sI3

If every man, woman and child in the state of Texas, plus the entire population of New Orleans, La., were to unite in going to church on one Sunday the mobilization would still be less than the attendance at religious meetings in the Army Y. M. c. A. buildings in the Southern department from May, 1917, to December 31, 1918. The total attendances at 24,7OO such meetings in the "Y" huts was 4,523, ,343, according to figures compiled by the religious work department of the Army Y. M. c. A. at San Antonio, Tex.
 At these meetings 74,457 soldiers re- quested prayers-a number greater than the population of Oklahoma City. The number of Christian decisions made by these soldiers was 69,929- more than the number of people in El Paso, Tex. Christian purpose re- newed by soldiers at such meetings reached the big total of 66,5S1.
 The number of personal Christian interviews which the "Y" secretaries were able to have with the men as they visited the buildings was 31S,2 ,246, or equal to the combined populations of Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston, Tex. These secretaries also secured from the men a number of other for ward-step decisions, including the fol lowing: To read the Bible, III, ,163; to pray, 34,097; temperance, 4,6S6; anti profanity, 9,342; personal purity, 19,- 509; antigambling, 6,925.
 Records from November l, 1917. to December 31, 1918, show that 1880 Bible classes were organized with a total enrolment of 43,O12 men. These classes held 15,995 sessions and had an attendance of 345,5 ,59S. It was not until May l, 1918, that records were made of the number of teachers used at these classes, but from that time to December 31 there were LAG soldier teachers and 1888 civilian teachers engaged in conducting the classes.
 Copies of the Scriptures distributed to soldiers reached 539,6S3, or one each for every person in the states of New Mexico and Arizona Religious literature given out from June l, 1918. to December 31 numbered 569, 9,249 pieces
 Visiting sick soldiers was a part of the duty of religious work secretaries, and for the period for which records were kept the number of such visits made was 996, 192, almost equal to the population of Colorado with most of the people ip Kansas City, Mo-, thrown in to balance tke measure.
