LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. THE FUTURE OF LIFE AND LIBERTY. To the Editor of the C.P.N. SIR,—We are receiving frequent in- quiries as to the future of the Life and Liberty Movement. We should be grateful if you could find space for the following resolution which was passed unanimously at our recent Congress:- That the Life and Liberty Movement be continued for at least two years, and that before the two years have elapsed a Congress of the Fellowship make a further decision as to the future- of the movement. The future policy of the movement will be considered in detail at a meeting of the newly elected Council, to be held on December 4.—Yours sincerely, W. TEMPLE, President, F. A. IREMONGER, Chairman.

LABOUR AND LIQUOR CONTROL. SiR,-Iii view of the criticisms which have been levelled against the Liquor Control Board's experiment in direct con- trol in Carlisle and district, and of the sug- gestions which have been made that this experiment is locally unpopular, we think it will be of interest to your readers to know the considered view of the organised Labour movement in that area. On Saturday, November 8, a conference was held at Carlisle, under the auspices of the Carlisle Trades Council and Labour Party, and attended by about 250 dele- gates from the various Trade Union and Labour organisations in the area in which the experiment is in operation. After full discussion, two resolutions were carried, with only one dissentient. In the first, the Conference affirmed its belief in the public ownership and control of the liquor trade. In the second, it urged the Government to continue the principle of the public ownership of, the liquor trade in the Carlisle area and fur- ther to extend the principle to the whole country, with provision of such machin- ery as will ensure proper effect being given to public opinion in the various areas." It is clear, therefore, that there is no claim on the part of organised Labour in the Carlisle district to revert to private ownership; on the contrary, both resolu- tions are emphatic in their support of public ownership.—We are, Sir, yours etc., ?

TRAVELLING PREACHERS

TRAVELLING PREACHERS SlR.1 am very much encouraged by the letter of Vicar of Parish in answer to mine of last week on the subject of a sug- gested Order of Travelling Preachers, and I sincerely hope that he is only the repre- sentative of many others who feel the same as he does. It has often seemed to me that there is not nearly enough of this change of preachers of which he speaks. I have been amazed that there is really so little. One hears of it sometimes in Advent, I Lent, and at harvest festivals, though even then not nearly so much as one, might. Perhaps our unhappy divisions and mutual mistrust of those who think differently to ourselves has something to do with it. And here surely is a chance for friendly co-operation. We must all have been very much struck by tle wonderful paper of the Rev. T. Guy Rogers at the Church Con- gress with regard to joining in worship. Can we not go further and join in evan- gelising England in the way I suggested. After all, the essential thing is to teach people of God, of the old, old story of Jesus and His love; to convince the world of sin and to tell of the great redemption wen by Christ on the cross. Surely, whether we are," Catholics or Mode- rates or Evangelicals," we agree at least on these essentials; and that we must fesach the people to put God first in their lives, for that, after all, is the one and only tiling which is going vto stop wars; that in all things God might have the pre-eminence. For myself, I would desire to see all schools of thought in the Church joining together in this great work, having as a sort of rule of life the words of Arch- bishop Potter to John Wesley at his ordination: If you would do real good you must not spend your time in contend- ing for or against things of a disputable nature, but in.te,stifying against vice or in promoting real essential holiness." Some of us like ceremonial, aoid believe it helps us to realise the great truths of the Faith. Some do not, and believe that these things tend to keep the soul from God and to blur God's presence; but all are agreed on the great essentials. It is the Modernist that seems to me the great stumbling-block, since he reduces the Faith to the barest minimum. The Virgin Birth, the Resur- rection, even perhaps the very death of Christ, are doubtful to him; but the Catholic and the Evangelical (I hate the terms! Why cannot a man be both?) are agreed on these points. Both believe the Bible to be the inspired Word of God. Cannot we unite to evangelise EFiglaRd POOR PRIEST.

CATHOLICISM* SIR,—I was much interested in reading in the last issue of the C.F.N., an article by the Rev. R. J. Campbell, D.D., in which he gives the Catholic tradition, "wliich identifies Mary of Beihany with U the woman who was a sinner." Assuming this to be true, Mary's « sin lay in forming a union with a man who was a Greek. This, to my mind, suggests an allegory. Mary answers to the Catholic element in Judaism. The union of Jew with Greek constitutes the esse and the bene esse of Catholicism. In contrast to her sister, Mary, Marsha may be taken to represent the spirit of an Act of Uni- formity with its ultra-legalist bias. ARTHUR'E. GKESWELL. Berrow, Somerset.
MARY OF BETHANY.

MARY OF BETHANY. SIR,—Hofr can there be any question that Mary of Bethany anointed our Lord's feet? or that she was a sinner? I copy from the Gospels And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner brought an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at His feet behind Him weeping, and began to wash His feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed His feet, and anointed them with the oint- ment. Now, when the Pharisee which had bidden Him saw it, he spake within him- self saying. This man, if He were a pro- phet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth Him, for she is a sinner." Our Lord re- proves Simon for want of hospitality, and then says: Her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much (Luke vii. 37-50). Mary, called Mag- dalene, out of whom went seven devils (Luke viii. 2 and Mark xvi. 9). St. John, who was present, writes: Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick) (John xi. 1, 2). Then Jesus, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which- had been dead, whom He raised from the dead. Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spike- nard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment (John xii. 3). It is not a question of liking, there are the facts; and Mary's sins are not specified, "Magdalene" means "of Magdala" it is only the English who have put the com- mon interpretation on it. Even Simon the Pharisee only said." She is a sinner," he did not say what she had done. The people in the Bible are real people, and it is no use to sentimentalise about them. There may be a Jewish tradition—I do not know —but I do remember the warning about "making the Word of God of none effect through your tradition" (Mark vii. 13), and this particular discussion seems at least to have made several people very unhappy. Can they not comfort them- selves with the proof of His willing- ness to save all sinners and cease speculations which are quite useless, and, if they will not take the. Bible accounts, impossible ever to settle?— Yours, MARY ALISIA PENNEFATSER. Wareham, Dorset.

WELSH CHURCH ACT. SIR,-By your courtesy may we inform the hundreds of your readers who have written to encourage me in our formation of a society to repeal Disendowment of Welsh parish churches, that our plans are maturing steadily? The Earl of Plymouth and Viscount Tredegar have recently joined as patrons. May I remind our friends that we are anxious to get together I a fund as soon as possible for our cam- paign, and that towards the challenge of a gift of S10 if nine others will give or collect a like amount, I have so far re- ceived two such sums, and require seven more to obtain- that gift. My friend the Bishop of St. David's and I differ as to method. His lordship, in a pamphlet just-, published, says, "By suffering loss, rather than by a renewal of controversy, the Church in Wales would best bear its wit- ness to the principles of righteousness under the circumstances." My view is that there is only one thing to do with evil —fight it' Also, if we have any light in us, we had better put it on a candiesticx and not under a bushel." Let those of us who share such senti- ments band ourselves together, and go on fighting and proclaiming what we believe to be true and what is right in principle and best for the nation. Malachi iii. 8-10 is the authority I feel in al; conscience I ought to follow.-Yours, etc G. N W. THOMAS. Briar Hill, Stow Park CR; scent, Newport, Mon.

"THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE." SIR,—I regret that in your report of the public meeting of the Life and Liberty Movement, held on November 7, no-. refer- ence is made to Canon Temple's gererous tribute to the share which the Church Reform League and the Church Self-Go- vernment Association have had in the work which has done so much to secure the present success of the Enabling Bill. The tremendous work of organisation has not been that of one society alone, but has been j jointly shared, financially and in. every other way, by what Dr. Temple happily termed the Triple Allance "-viz., the Church Reform League, the Church Self- Government Association, and the Life and Liberty Movement. As acting Chairman and Hon. Treasurer I of the first-named society I can.testify 1o its continued and effective efforts to secure a measure of self-goverilment for the L Church for close on twenty-five years, and to the fact that it has devoted all its energy and most of its funds during the last two j. years to pushing the Enabling Bill. As a member of the executive of the Church Self-Government Association I know that it i has borne the. chief share, under Lord Wolmer's able guide." ?e, of the Parlia- mentary campaign which has produced p such a gratifying result. The steady preparation and circulation of what may be termed Parliamentary literature" over many months has been equally shared by the three societies. These are facts ■ which should, I think, be known to-day in fairness to all concerned. W. Si DE WIN-TON. =======
