Wright) laid on the table a detailed report of visitation to old and sick people in most of tho suburbs and in the City. He gave interesting figure* concerning tha classes for Bible instruction, now ifi their 24th year. The averages for this y-m- have in—every instance been most satisfactory. He also noted that whilst boasting would be unworthy of the cause two things might be noted : (1) That in all the five schools visited the attendances wero better now than they were 24 years ago: (2) no agent or agency could show a- similar record.
