dav evening, when going with a Vicar to what I thought would be the prayer meeting, we entered a cl.ass-room where two Sunday school te.achers, with the gloves on, were knowing each other about in the most approved fashion. 2. I believe in former days there was a


much greater and more real regard for reli­ gious duties than now'. Sabbath observance, for instance, w-as regarded as a very solemn thing. People regarded breaking the Sab­ bath bv secular reading or any ordinary em- ploi-ment, or by neglect of divine worship, much as we w'ould regard lying or stealing. Then, again, I believe homily praj'er amongst re.ol Christians was a much more solemn and sacred obsen'ance than is generally the case in these days. Attendance on a Gospel ministry was in those days esteemed a matter of supreme concern. All other things were arranged to make it practicable. Our Chris- Lon forefatliers couldn’t live minislty of the Word. But now Clinstian families seem to regard it as a matter of no ------- 1; they utter a regret or ‘ "'®

Mr. Maudsley’s criticism of the Clitheroe^ S. D. F. manifesto on the failure of the strike here. He does not criticise the reasons of this failure but only the solution we propound. The crux of his argument lies in the ques­ tion he puts: “ If operatives cannot pro­ duce goods at the same price as manulac- turers vi'hen they are themselves the otvners, etc., how are they going to make a much more extensive business pay. Of course, Mr. Maudsley knows the answer to his own question as well as I do. There are two ways of making a concern pay and two en-

away from a Gospel ministD' to live in the country and reside where the Word and the truth of God are practically unknown. 3. I think in the old days there was a


more simple appetite for Gospel truth, and less craHng after sensational novelties. The differences between believers then were on matters of great moment, and only on those. Now we have the merest trifles and series hair-splittings put forth as of sufficient impor­ tance to divide brother from brother, church from church, and even membres of the same household. 6. It seems to me that in past days a deep

We have elimina­ ted all mention of experience from our ser­ mons and all experimental hymns from our books.

It is however dawning on the workers that the masters take all the profit and let the men do all the work. Does the nation really produce at a profit Let us put in one scale the profit and the resulting cul­ ture luxury, and well beiig of the very few; and in the other scale the price of this profit, viz, the slums, the drink, the vice, the pros- tituton, the‘ paupers, the unemployed, the hunger, disease and early deaths of the work­ ers, the lockouts, strikes, anxiety, and all toe host of ills which arise from the exploitation of the many by the few. Do we as a nation really make a profit? I doubt it. To secure a profit requires the shrewd management ot one keen, determined man with a large num­ ber of machines, human and otherwise,under him— and the more human machines he can
