EVIDENCE OF CONVERSION

Sra,—Canon Roger Lloyd, in his article on Advancing Christianity, gives a feeling of optimism which is not fully confirmed even by the extensive evidence and data of Prof. K. S. Latourette. The Catholic M.R.P. is in flu small measure a party possessing strong political features, while evidence of mass conversions will always be looked upon with some measure of scepticism. The fact that three of my friends on different occasions, during the gait week, have been interrogated by strangers, when travelling by train, as to .their conversion, is hardly proof of advancing Christianity amongst first-class railway travellers.—Yours, &c.,
