No one can doubt that just now religion is news. My own experience as a parson is that

I believe with the Archbishop. that the establishment of true. Christianity in this country and throughout the world is the only answer to our problems; but I should be profoundly disturbed If we allowed it to be assumed that all we consider necessary, in order to secure such a rell- gious revival, is to issue on be half of the Church a cordial invitation to the outsider to come back to the fold. That's not good enough, and it won't work.
Before the Church challenges anybody else to accept its faith In God it must surely do two things: I must declare in con- crete terms what is God's will for the age in which it lives, and it must demonstrate in its actions its confidence that God will enable His children by, the spiritual resources which Hé bestows upon them, to carry out that will.
The Church at the moment is not doing these things, and that is why its appeal is so flaccid and effectuel.
There is a widespread feeling that the Church is afraid to speak out uncompromisingly about nationalism, or capital- Ism, and is still less prepared to rely upon the divine powers about which it preaches; Its appeals for faith in God and a
return to ways of plety sound like a despairing effort to cover up its fallurcs and an attempt to justify its existence by con- centrating its efforts on indl- viduals, since it dare not pro- nounce upon society.
So, long as such a suspicion persists, recalls to religion will go unheeded. There is only ono wny for organised Christianity to overcome that suspicion, and

THAT does that mean in the terms of our immediate problems?. I think it means, this:----
The Church must declare what is the Christian form of social life and must refuse to support any other. The King- dom of God is not a benevalent. form of imperialism, it is not nationalism, however camou flaged, it is not a refinement of capitalism-it is not a better edition of these things, but

I'll go further. The Kingdom of Heaven is a non-violent com- munism. A Church loyal to the spirit and teaching of Jesua is bound to challenge the world with such an ideal and more-is under a divine obliga- tion to lead its followers towards that promised land,
Then let its leaders denounce the ovils that we all face and, thunder out their message as prophets hailing a new dawn, rather than complain as coro- ners at an inquest.
I want men to know that by giving their allegiance to Chris- tianity they will be embarking upon a great campaign to banish war and poverty and in- justice; to overthrow the falsc and corrosive doctrines of State, Empire, and race purity, and to set up a communal life where love and service have taken the place of selfishness and armed' might.

UT just as important I want the Church which sends out this mani- festo to be the "advanco copy" of 'that now world it preaches, and by its example as well as its precept to commend the religion it advo- cates.
If a revival of religion is to come, the world must see in the Christian Church the marks of that new society.

That is true in many fields, but especially in the realin of violence. The Christian Church, for all its insistence on the imperative duty of loving its enemies, has fought with just as much ferocity as the savart in the past, and even now no large Christian Church has om- cially renounced war.
Y
ET it remains true that for Jesus Christ the only way to the Kingdom of Heaven was the way of non-violent lovo.
I'm afraid It's not much use pleading for a return to Chris- tianity until those who are sup- posed to represent it appear to be taking its commands seriously.
This question of pacifism, what- ever may be its intellectual merits. whatever will be its political and personal repercussions, is the acid test of the sincerity of Christians. In the eyes of the man in the street.

I agree with him -- war and' Christianity simply will not mix. Only a non-violent Church will persuade the world to-day that it is sincere and that it means what It says. I realise that this is a hard and dangerous thing to say, but I've no doubt as to its truth,

Both measures are in operation in most big towns at Home, particularly the laying down of a speed-limit in built-up areas.
