RELIGIOUS ARDOUR
“Greater than all possible manmade achievements would be a revival of religious ardour,” says Mr F. B. Osborn in the Morning Post. “The sea of faith has long been receding—we hear it ebbing over the bleak edges of the world and the desolate signing shingles. It is time the tide
turned. Christianity has been swallowed up in Churchmanity, and the jealousies of the sects, symptoms of the odium theologicum, prevent the formation of an effective Christian Front against the forces of theism. When the world-revival comes, as come it must, it will be a divine aspiration arising from the contrite hearts of simple folk as humble perhaps in social standing as Christ Himself and His disciples.”
