I f By' Keformeb.) APATHY AND ITS CAUSE. “ I believe thatmuch of the indifference among Christain people in ; the Christian Church on this subject arises from ignorance of the extent and depth: of the misery entailed by the evil.

' I make bold to say that there is not « man or woman whose heart has been touched by the loye of God, who could come into close contact with all the tragedies of the lives lived around them by those who are helpless and Hopeless through this terrible agency, and remain indifferent, or fail to take sides* once for all, in this great movement.” — A. S. Adams, of Dunedin.
