Losing Faith.

By Editor

The Rev. Thomas Whitelaw, M.A., D.D., in "The Fundamentals," volume 6, quotes the editor of the Hibbert Journal as saying, "Society abounds with earnest and educated persons who have lost faith in a living, personal God, and see their fellows and foresee themselves passing out of life entirely without hope." And he who comes in touch with society in general knows that the quotation utters a great sad fact. The same thing is strongly and emphatically implied—foretold—by our Lord: "Nevertheless, when the Son of Man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?" How its scarcity ought to quicken the zeal and earnestness of God's children!
