POWER BY FAITH.
I long to see a great moral and spiritual awakening in the nation, writes Canon S. J. Marriott, of Westminster Abbey, in St. Martin’s Review. Life can. come from above as well as from below; it can be divine as well as demonaic. What the British peoples need at this moment is passion to liberate, readiness to sacrifice, fearlessness to die. And where will you find those virtues so perfectly set forth as in that Christian faith which has played so large a part in our national history, our national character, our national traditions in the past? Sermons may be stale, services staid, and institutional religion stagnant, but hidden in the true Christian faith is a power which is unchanging, immortal, invincible.
