We published yesterday an appeal for subscriptions from the members of the committee in charge of the Sunday Evening Meetings, and a statement of the amount required was given. A very small sum from every man in college would soon mount up, and every man who does help even with a mile will have the pleasure of feeling that he has helped carry on the movement so earnestly begun. Here, indeed, is a chance for true charity. If a man cannot give much, let him give little. The committee, with excellent taste and judgment, have so arranged matters that the amount of anyone's contribution will be known only to himself. So no one need be ashamed to give but a small sum.

We have heard much of indifference to religion at Harvard, but we have bided our time, waiting for something to prove the falsity of the accusation. And it seems to us that the proof is at hand. If we go to morning chapel, vesper services, or Sunday evening services in Appleton Chapel, we see large numbers of Harvard students: but to anyone who saw the gathering in the Globe Theatre on Sunday evening, the feeling must have come that there is more religion down deep in the hearts of Harvard men than the world has given us credit for. We trust that this new movement will receive all the support it deserves.
