Focuses Attention. i Compared with statistics for the pre- ceding vear. the report poinied out there has been an increase of only 24 perscns confirmed and 1270 communicants while the increase in the total number of baptized persons was 2732 end the increase in baptisms of only 101. | We consider it 8 duty to focus atten- tion on greater possibilities.” the report | stated. “For instance, 16 churches and chapels had sn average of only 9 per- sons confirmed, sand 17 churches and parighes. with an svecrage congregation of 300, had an averge of 5 confirmed while 15 churches and chapels had no. confirmations at sll. We believe such conditions cen st ieast b partially improved by sysie-- mafic visitation and carefully main- | tained records of those eligible for con- firrdation and by listing inierests of 18v' orgdnizations to increase the pumerical strehgth of each parish.” Mission Preaching Urged. “The report streased the nsed of con- .
