a little breathing space
To strengthen man life's work to face,
And lift his life to heaven.'"

In conclusion, let us add to the above speech the following remarks, which
we heartily approve,--

"Mr. Preston (London) testified to the falling off of attendance
at public worship, and he attributed this largely to the parents
not taking their children with them in early years, as of old
times. He deprecated the going to public worship to have the
brains tickled in hearing a particular man, and maintained that
this was in no sense 'public worship.' He emphasized strongly the
fact that those who say they can worship in the fields do not, in
fact, worship at all. He urged that in worship the musical and
devotional services should become more prominent, and the sermon
become frequently but subsidiary."
