MESSAGE OF THE CONGRESS. !…

MESSAGE OF THE CONGRESS. —— IF God is not revealed through our Churches and our worship, where else can those who know Him not reasonably expect to find Him ? This means that the whole organisa- tion of our worship should be lifted clean out of the slough of controversy and viewed solely as a means of revealing God to men. The time has come when the Church of England, with this sole object before her, must be free to choose from the riches of her devotional heritage without fear or favour. She must not be bound by shibboleths of the sixteenth century, or captivated by foreign novelties of more recent date." Such is the concluding paragraph of the Bishop of Peterborough's inspiring and statesmanlike Presidential Ad- dress at the Church Congress. The words come as a clarion call to the Church in this new age which already has been ushered in for weal or woe. As the Bishop reminds Tig, it is no new experience for the Church to be I confronted with a new age. The question is this. Is the Church to be merely a passive spectator, or is she boldly to come forward as a creator and provide the moulds with which the new age is to take its shape ? It is not too much to say that, humanly speaking, the next I twelve months will decide the issue. The danger now, as in days gone by, is that the Society of Christ will stand by and contend, amongst themselves, about empty shibboleths and matters of secondary import, while others are moulding and shaping the new world. As an illustration of this danger the Bishop emphasizes the industrial revolution of a hundred years ago. At that time the entire industrial life of the country was in the melting-pot. A Church alive and alert would have so preached the gospel of co-operation and comrade- ship that all would have realised their fellowship and industry would have been organised on the principle of mutual help and brotherliness instead of on the cruel, callous, soul-destroy- ing system with which we are so painfully familiar. When the spiritual might have taken its proper place in our industrial life," says the Bishop, it was rejected in favour of the material, and for that rejection we are paying the price to-day." Yes, the price of ignoring the spiritual is being paid not only by the Church but by the nation. The war has once again revealed to us the supremacy of the spiritual, and demonstrated that by neglecting or ignoring the spiritual we court disaster.' But we are a forgetful and not very imaginative people, and when the immediate peril has passed, we are prpne to drift with the stream in spite of the bitter school through which we have passed. If the Church of Christ will take her rightful place in the world, and will buy up her priceless but passing opp ortunities then the new age will indeed be the golden age which has long been the dream of prophets and poets and the despair of thE¡ more material reformers. As we have so frequently pointed out, many well-meaning people are obsessed with the idea that the Church's mission is otherworldliness that the spiritual concerns only a Kingdom to come that our eyes must be fixed 1 on eternity and not on time. And yet the Master taught us with the most familiar of all prayers Thy King- dom come Thy will be done on earth." Surely it is the supreme business of the Church to interpret the will of God to the world, and to see that His will is the guiding rule in the great brotherhood of mankind. At all costs we must strive by precept and practice to make the Golden Rule of the Kingdom the natural motive power of employers and workers alike. Our concern," says the Bishop, is not with programmes but with principles. Our business is to Christianise the new outlook, tcr anchor this community sentiment, at present to a large extent still vague and insecure, to the firm ground of Christian principle, to evangelise in the fullest sense this generation of men whose fine qualities may prove to be their own undoing, without the saving and inspiring operations of that Society which was called by ITS Founder the salt of the earth." What is one of the greatest hind- rances to this glorious mission becom- ing an accomplished fact ? Unques- tionably our miserable squabbles and unhappy divisions. Again, the Bishop of Peterborough visualises for us the cause of our weakness and lack of power and influence when he says: The unification., of the Christian- Church would probably do more to convert the world than all our com- peting missions put together. Energies which are required for world conquest cannot be wasted upon internal disputes." What, then, is the first and most vital need of the Church to-day ? We, reply in a. sentence—the appropriation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. His cleans- ing, energising and controlling power must be allowed to mould our lives until individually and as a Church the love of God constraineth us to worship and serve Him, and to love our neighbour as ourselves. We be- lieve this to be the message of the Leicester Church Congress. May we have grace to respond to the call.

C.E M S REVIVAL. ARCHBISHOP'S APPEAL. THE AECHBISHOP OF YORK addressed members of the Church of England Men's Society in Newcastle on Saturday last. He recalled the great enthusiasm that prevailed among men when the society was instituted in the Newcastle district in 1910. What had happened to the large body of men who in those days were waiting for a set summons on be- half of the old Church, he asked. Why had the great offer of service to the Church not been utilised ? He could not help thinking that before the war things had gone wrong for want of leaders. He did not think that, as a whole, the Bishops and clergy rose to the oppor- tunities to give the mefi the leadership and training that was necessary, and the result was that the enthusiasm of the men got cold and stale, and the C.E.M.S. was allowed to slip back into conventional lines. Then the war came, and what branches of the society there were could not carry on. Now that the war was over they would have to begin again at the very beginning. He could not believe that the days of the C.E.M. S. were over. He urged upon the Bishops and clergy the great responsi- bility resting upon them in this great revival of the C.E.M.S., and appealed to the remnants of the society to arise to the call of its old ideals and move along in the future with spirit and e:nr thusiasm. His Grabe also spoke on the same day to the members of the Girls' Friendly Society at Newcastle. Girls, he said, might retreat from the world in fe" gi its evil, or advance into the new world and win its good. They must trust Gcd's making of His world, and go for- wa,rd another stage. Speaking of the dangers of the present time, he said the real danger was expressed in the words: I I will go my own way, and live my own life." That journey would end in shipwreck. They must reverence modesty of mind and purity of heart • stand firm, or they would miss the new world; be resolute in adherence to purity*
