PRESIDENTS: His Grace the ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY, His Grace the ARCHBISHOP OF YORK. TREASURER: Rev. T. A. SEDGWICK. This Society augments the stipends of Curates who have been more than 15 years in Holy Orders, and are still in full active work. Of the 7,000 Curates very many have been ordained more than 15 years, and this number is annually increasing. It is the only Society in England that directly increases the stipends of Curates of long standing. The QUEEN VICTORIA CLERGY FUND' does not help the Unbeneficed Clergy. The Church is inultiplying Curates three times as rapidly as she is multiplying Benefices. Nearly £8,000 was voted last year in Grants. The average stipend of those receiving Grants does not exceed £3 a week. CHURCH COLLECTIONS, SUBSCRIPTIONS & DONATIONS thankfully received. THE CHURCH'S EFFORT FOR Our Splendid Sailors The Missions to Seamen is the greatest agency in the World ministering to the spiritual and social needs of our BRITISH SEAMEN In all the Principal Ports AT HOME AND ABROAD. The self-sacrifice and devotion of Seamen have, by the mercy of God, made possible our glorious Victory. PLEASE SEND A GIFT AS A THANKOFFERING. The need for extensions in the ports of Belgium and Northern France is very urgent. Old Coins and Medals will be gratefully received and disposed of for the Society's benefit. STUART C.

ONE of the byproducts of the war is a growing desire on the part of good people to bury the hatchet of theological controversy and draw closer together in mutual co-operation for the welfare of the community. Several influences VOL. LXXXVII.-NO. CLXXIV. tend in this direction. The comradeship of the padres in the trenches cannot fail to react on the churches at home. The magnificent work of the Y.M.C.A., resting on a broad inter-denominational basis, must serve to minimize and discredit sectarian divisions. At the same time, we are being driven to acknowledge that the task of reconstructing the fabric of society, which has been shaken by an earthquake shock, demands the union of all available resources. The terrible outburst of the forces of evil, the raging foes of liberty and righteousness, cannot be restrained by mere guerilla fighting. It can be adequately met only by a mobilizing of all the powers of the army of light, and their co-ordination in a common strategy. As a matter of practical economy, we can see how wasteful it is to have half a dozen agencies separately attempting to do what a strong united force would accomplish more efficiently and at a smaller cost. It is ridiculous for a procession of milk carts to be plying their trade up and down the same street when one of them could easily supply all its households. Indeed there are towns where scarcity of labour has put an end to this absurdity by driving the milkmen to form a combine. The multiplication of churches, and chapels within a limited area-most of them not half full-is just as extravagant, besides being much more objectionable on other grounds. Of course the old religious controversialist would deny the parallel. He would maintain that only his own select. purveyor could supply the sincere milk of the word,' that some of his competitive rivals offered nothing better than watered milk, poorly nutritious, and some even dangerously doctored adulterations. But the old religious controversialist is at a discount to-day; sensible men and women are coming to take wider views of our theological differences, and all of us are called upon to reconsider their claims, and ask ourselves whether many may not be only withered survivals of old-world quarrels which do not touch our present beliefs and practices. How much do people now care for heated controversies between supra-lapsarian and sub-lapsarian? Not one person in ten thousand knows |
