We cannot sacrifice the proportions, because the life is in them. Comparison of conditions in different areas can only be made on proportions. The mere statement of the figures with the suggestion that anyone can work out the proportions would reveal a singular ignorance of human nature. For the native force all that we need for the present purpose is a table that will show us the Christian constituency, communicants, and workers in the whole province in proportion to one another. Here also we must include many workers and some congregations in large towns which the station district survey may have omitted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- |Total.| Proportion| Proportion |Proportion |Remarks | |of |of Christian |of |and | |Population.| Constituency. |Communicants.|Conclu- | | | | | sions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Christian | | | | | constituency| ---- | ---- | | | --------------------------------------------------------------------- Communicants| ---- | ---- | ---- | | --------------------------------------------------------------------- Paid workers| ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- Unpaid | | | | | Workers | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------
