An editor from Sari Francisco a f ew weeks ago wrote Me Saying lia was getting upý for bis papar a symposium frein many clergymen discussing among othar thiugs, "Why do flot people go to church?' and hea wantad suy opin- ion and 1 gave it in ona sentence: Peo- pie, do net go ta church hacause they cýannot stand the humýrd-ru-m. The fact is that most people have Sa mmxli hum- drum. lu their worldly calling that tliay do not want to have added the hum- drum cf religion. We need in ail aur sermons and exhortations aud sangs and prayers more of wliat Queen Bal- kis brougbt ta Solomon, namaly, more spice. The fact ils that the dluties aud cares of t'his life, conlgta us from. tima to time, are stupid aften, and insane, and intalerabie.

Their faces anxioas, their f eel- ings benumbed, their days monotonous. What ils necessary ta brighten up that man's life, and ta swasten that acid disposition, and ta put sparkle ia the man's spirit? 'The spicery of lioly religion. Why, if Letween the lasses of lifa thera dashed a gleam, cf an eternal gain; if hetwenn the Letrayals of life there came the giaami of udy- ing friandship of Christ; if in duli times in business vie fouud ministering spirits fi3 ing ta and fro in auir office, and store, and shops, everyday lifa, iustead of beiug a stû,pid monotone, vould Le a glaonos inspiration, pendu- lumiug batween calm satisfaction and high capture.
