RELIGIOUS CONDITION IN LONDON.

THE following we copy from the Christian Statesman:—

“The religious condition of the masses must be deplorable when Earl Shaftsbury finds occasion to say, as he recently did, that there are 500,000 persons in London who never hear the gospel from year's end to year's end, and the only way to reach them with it is by special services in theatres and mission halls. He expresses his depressing conviction that the masses are spiritually ten times worse than they were twenty years ago.”
