Competition gets into everything, and it has marred our Christmas exercises a little lately. The Methodists are growing fast and are very ambitious. A few years ago they rented the Opera House, put in two Christmas trees, with a real fireplace between and a Santa Claus who came out of it, and charged ten cents admission. That embittered us Congregationalists.
Rogers also claimed that there were certain tests of personal regeneration which the Congregationalists denied.

It must be good to have a stated time and season for stopping and sitting down to look at oneself.
