At this time I am. moved to make a somewhat special and
solemn appeal to my fellow-coun- trymen I make it not primarily as the chief ofcer of the Church of England but rather, if I may presume to say so, as a representa tive of the Christian life of the nation..
It is a "recall to religion." It is a summons to refound our life, personal and national, Da the fear of God, on the revelation of Himself, of His will and purpose for the human race in Jesus Christ, on the standards of human
conduct which Jesus Christ has
set.
What is needed then is a new, deliberate, and sustained endea. your to arrest the drit, to arouse and strengthen the lustinct, to to satisfy the longing. This is what I mean by "A recall to re- ligion."

There can be no doubt as to the need of such a recall to the Chris- tian religion. I have no time to speak of the present place of that religion in other countries. Buf- fice it to say this.

The august ceremony will be bereft of Its full meaning, it will be a mere splendid spectacle, unless the nation, with and through its King, consecrates itself to the remeinbrance and ser- vice of God.
I would fain hope that the lea ders of religion, to whatever de-
nomination they may belong and in whatever ways they may think best, may prepare the people for their share in the great event. Would God that It might mark not only the beginning of "a new re- turn of the nation to God, a new loyalty as to the King so also, and above all, to the King of Kings. During these coming months in the midst of all the writing and talking about the Coronation may another Voice be heard, saying to us all: "O, my people, return unto the Lord your God."

A Church shining with this sort of witness would be seen to be in truth the body of Christ in and through which He shows His com- passion for the multitude, for their bodies as well as their souls, the mingled severity and mercy of His moral judgment, His power to re- deem and enrich all human life.
