Mr: Walters asked who could be complacent about the religious Eltuation.

"While the mad rush after pleasure, the extravagances of a new, paganism. the surging tide of materialism and the feglect of God. and right- sousness should fill us with alarm. "Tet, let us be perfectly frank with each other. I have no desire to be critical; any word that I utter I apply also to myself. Does not our preaching to-day lack the notes of urgency and the thrill of
