THE Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hall, president of Union Theological Seminary of New York City, recently in an address before the Religious Educational Association of Chicago spoke of the moral deterioration of the times as a fact painfully apparent in American life. He said: “It is a matter of consternation and deep concern to us that the moral standard of American life is deteriorating. Religion seems to have no place with us in our everyday life. I know from observation that religion has little, if any, part in our American civilization to-day. Our home life is not what it should be, and it is not to be wondered at when we realize the general apathy of the people as regards their spiritual welfare.”
