CLEVELAND, June l5.-Col. Leon
ard p. Ayres expressed gloom today
about business prospects.
"The decline in the volume Of In
dustrial production since last August
Is already the most severe that we
have ever experienced within the space
Of time that this one has been under

1T will probably prove to be the
longest one without reversal that
we have ever had.
SLOW persistent decline has contin-
ued to be the chief characteristic of
general business activity during the
second quarter Of this year. as 1t was
in the first quarter" he wrote In the
Cleveland Trust Co. s monthly business
review.
During the four last months of
1887 business activity dropped with
almost unprecedented rapidity, and
by the beginning Of this year it had
reached q kind of depression floor.
That floor has proved during the
first six months Of this year not to be
level one, but rather q downward.
fitting one. So far there have been
no convincing indications that it Is
even leveling out"
Col. Ayres said business recovery
will start when national income be-
gins to increase, which will happen
when industrial pay rolls begin to
expand. THE pay roll figures will
grow larger when there is a distinct
increase in the production of durable
goods" he said. "and probably the
change will be first noted in an i'm
portant increase in the output OF iron
and steel"
Col. Ayres summarized industrial
production as about 81 per cent lower

They stress the fact that the seeming

Other economists, however, hold

further slump was in store for the
stock market.
Analysts pointed out rail obliga-
tions have set the pace for security
markets ever since the recovery boom
collapsed a year ago.
The first silent forecast by rail
liens came when waves Of optimism
had stock prices tapping at the re-
covery peak. In January, 1887, the
Associated Press average Of 20 rep
resentative rail bonds turned down
after rising steadily for almost two
years.
BY March 10, when the industrial
stock average stood at 10l.6. rail bonds
were down per cent. On August

1901, carrier liens had fallen per
cent without showing any signs Of
reversing the downward trend.

The Church And
The Community
BY REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

In an article to "The Christian
Century" a parent describes the pre-
dicament he is in with reference to
the church habits of his adult son
and daughter. He tells about his own
traditional and loyal church relation
ship and how he introduced his chill
dren into the same attitude. Their
parents took them along to church,
they attended Sunday school regu-
larly, sang in the choir, helped with
ushering and Sunday school teaching,
attended church college, etc. All
this was accomplished without COM
pulsion and with good cooperation
on the part of the children. Yet,
ten years after they had become in
dependent they were very indiffer-
ent about their church relationship.
They are not critical toward the
church and they lead respectable
lives, but the church just doesn't seem
to mean anything to them, and the
father is worried about it and Won
dering why this has to be. He asks
himself whether he or the church has
been at fault and he wonders what
can be done about it.
This father is undoubtedly only
one of many. And all are equally
at loss for an explanation. The fault
lies with the parents for pressing re-
ligious activities on the children. 1t
lies with the church for not vitaliZ-
ing and actualizing its message. 1t
he crrhcfifIrfoc Of tho
modern world. 1t lies with the chill
dren for being unfaithful and indif-
ferent. And yet, it may not lie with
any of these, or there may be no
particular fault or reason one can
point to. We should be concerned
with the fault, only if we thus can
be helped to find remedy.
Attempts at remedy should be made
at all places where there are faults,
unless it is too late. The parents
are perhaps out of the picture here.
1.-THE modern world" cannot be called
to task. The problem therefore be-
longs to the church and the "chil-
dren." The church should do all
within its power to reach them, not
through humbug of any sort but by
the challenge and the living quality of
its message. But what should the
young folks do? Can you tell peo-
pie who are complacently satisfied
that they should do anything about it?
Something must happen that will
make the Christian message new and
necessary to those who are indiffer-
ent. Let us hope that the way we
have to 60 will not be too hard and
unbearable.
