What have the Churches to say to their congregations in these times, when ritualism, more than ever, bickers with faith, and when genuine reverence, genuine charity, and genuine pity seem qualities gasping for life?
Where is the truth on which we may build surely? How shall we be comforted in the face of doubt?
Three Daily Express representa- tives went to morning service at three London churches In mail week-St. Michael's, Chester- square; Westminster Cathedral,
and Wesley's Chapel.

It was a sermon on Death where not once was there any hackneyed demand to the grave to reveal its sting.
