There is another feeling prevalent, which is quite as inconsistent. We are apt to stand aloof from religion, in its practical aspects, giving as a reason, that we lack faith.

Your contributor, however, shows a sad lack of just the training the very course he criticises aims to give. With splendid self-assurance, addressing himself to us anonymously, he adduces as his evidence "several cases" in which "practically" similar briefs received widely different marks.
