The opinion that Christianity is gradually
losing its hold upon the love and venera-
ton OF the people generally Is entertained
by many observers, and not few writer's
and speakers outside the intidel class have
assumed that 1t reached the point of de-
cline some years ago. We are inclined to
think, however, that this opinion is the
result of imperfect observation, and that
proper scrutiny of the condition of the
public mind would show that at no pre-
vious time has Christianity shown more
real strength and developed more general
and creditable loyalty than now. The
