Moral Tone of the Secular Press.—We are happy to believe that there is just ground for the following statement from the Boston Traveller:
"It is obvious that there is a growing interest in intelligence of a moral and religious character. This is evinced by the increased attention which is paid by the conductors of the newspaper press almost universally to the communication of such intelligence. Religious news is now as promptly circulated by the secular press as other news; and to a considerable extent, we are happy to believe, it is sought for. There has been a great change in the popular taste in regard to such things."
