The current Unitarian Review criticises the Prayer Petition in a very unchristianlike and narrow-minded way.
The Prayer Petition is sent out to-day. The committee beg that all the postals may be returned whether signed or not, so that the exact proportion of men who desire the reform may be ascertained.
To-day the Prayer Petition postal cards will probably be sent to the students for signatures. The matter should be heeded by all, for the end to be gained is worth far more than the slight work of signing and mailing a card.
Among some of the students, and among many of the outside newspapers, there exists a grave mistake in regard to the aim of the petition. We do not ask that prayers be abolished, but merely that we no longer be compelled to attend them.
Mr. R. C. Cabot replaces Mr. W. G. Rantoul on the prayer petition committee.
