Mr. Editor: On behalf of Mr. Loftln and the Baptist church and myself I want to thank you for your excellent re ports of our services and of the ser mons. Tho Dally News did a gener ous and splendid part In the effort to make the meetings a success. Mr. Loftin's preaching was strong vigorous, intensely evangelistic and sound to the core. We believe that his sermons will be productive of a higher standard of piety on the pari of all real Christians who heard him and we hope they will yet be fruitful In the salvation of some who are lost. ^ ft must be confessed that the Christian religion Is at a rather low ebb 1U Washington. A majority even of tfee church members seem far more Interested In things present than fft things etsraV?, more anxious to gain a dollar ibaj)..tOLWln a soul,! mor? eager for the perishing pleas ures than for those that abide for ever .
