Speaking with great emphasis at St. Paul's Pro-Cathedral, the Rev. T. H. Sprott declared that one of the greatest curses of the Anglican Church at the present time was membership without sacrifice. So many people were ready to make use of those church privileges and ordinances which they happened to need, but ware not prepared to make the sacrifices which the duties and responsibilities of membership involved. This spirit of nominal and irresponsible membership was a real curse to the Church.
