A recent survey of $40 colored

that twice as many women as
men attend church and that the
women have nine times as many
church societies as the men. The
same thing holds true in Boston.
At the Sunday services in St.
Marks one. can see more than
twice as many women as men,
and the clubs and church activ-
tiles are mostly in the hands of
the women. Are the men so cock
