Tbe great question is whether a reli

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

This would be wary depressing were
it not for the teet that ia Germany

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.
