In our own day genuine Christian faith is at once a vision and a venture, yet, although its visionary character leaves room for possible doubt and makes it seem perhaps fantastical, history has shown, as in the case of Rome before Christ's coming and of China today, that when men lose this visionary trust a low moral state is the inevitable result.

Our religious societies which, as our correspondent remarks, have shown so much activity in practical ways, would naturally, it would seem, take special notice of the day, whether by concerted action or otherwise. It should not be forgotten, however, that Thursday is the day of the regular Vesper Service, and we believe that some observance of the day is usually made upon that occasion. In some ways, the Chapel service...
