INTEREST IN RELIGIOUS SERVICES.

Many prominent cl6rgtliien and re
ligou., newspapers are discussing the
question or an alleged decline Of III
lerest III religious services. Some of
them say thar the fact has not been
established tU the III g sltisfaction, while
others auMiit anu utplore it. In the
quictcr and more steady parts of the
land there is as great Il practice Of
church going as ever there was, in
decd, TAR greater than in the earlier
decades Of our history! EIt tile
American chtircltcs are ut at tliis
time making good their position! at
the old rate; aud their friends are
dissatisfied With their rccclit siatis-
tic of growth:
One chic: reason we believe to he
that the churches lave not addressed
themselves to the real problems Of
our land and titua. They have preach
ca Il good deaf about S II, but not
enough against Sins; and what they
have uonc III this regard has been
weekly and without ellie t. For in
stance, the monry worship, which is
eating out the heart hr much of our
social and moral l;fc, and which
seems to furnish an exact parallel to
that rcbuked by Jesus Of Nazath
in his time, has not been handled in
the direct and incistc way il. which
He treated it.

ion," some tell lis. We do. a genn-
inc revival in the direction of Il new
interest in the Sermon on the Mount

greatly needed. d.--Chcstc, Reporter.
