Tbe great question is whether a reli gions progress has united itself with • material progress. In the yearn 1864 and 1670 there was a religions susceptibility in eottage and palace; such a general awakening of religions lifts that it astonishes the moat en thusiastic. Two or three years have pa am it away autos then, sod it is a teet to say that there has aot been a deepening of religions life at all com parable to the material program. This would be wary depressing were it not for the teet that ia Germany there has beau laid ap a large capital of rstifkHm life. Thera has been a scepticism and so indifference conse quent upon the UTSkATUBK OF RfFIDELITY that baa shed its dark shadow over Germany. Tbe same shadow is seen in all parts of the world, to some extent. The preaching of Christ crocifled is, however, the predomi nant preaching. Tbe newspapers generally take tbe opposite view, and the pulpits where Christ is preached attract crowds, while the ;hi1 pits of the sceptics are deserted.

All are not able to take it, we know. But there are not many fami lies that can not pay two dollart a year for the weekly visits of a church paper. And where there are really such, others can be found who will pay it for them, if the matter is only brought to their attention.
