LONDON, August 14.

SHANGHAI, August 14. The results of the Lambeth Con.

An official communiqué from the ference are revealed in documents Commander-in-Chief's headquarters issued consisting of the full text of denies that the Government troops 73 resolutions adopted and an E-have suffered any reverses on the cyclical Letter to the Faithful," Lunghai front, declaring that signed by the Archbishop of Canter-, hury on behalf of the Conference, 7,000 words long.

Thought of God Passing Away,

TheLetter begins:

"We are aware of the extent to which the very thought of God seems to be passing away from the minds and hearts of many, even in nominally

Christian nations.”

The Letter notes, however, that the emancipations lately won do not yield deep and lasting satis- factions. The heart of modern life with all its exuberance of interest is disquietingly void of conviction." The Encyclical, therefore, calls for fresh effort in the proclamation of Christian doctrine,

Beauty of Family Life. The Encyclin Letter dwells on the responsibility of the Church to preserve the "beauty of family life! founded on the lifelong union of husband and wife," and declares that divorce is unnatural. The whole subject of sex must be lifted 10 a pure and clear atmosphere."

Bacial Animosities Condemned,

It emphasises the vocation of parenthood, agd condemns racial "animosities and urges the Church to take the lead in the direction of world peace.

Christian Unity.

Chiang Kai Shek is at Litho, and that the Lunghai front line has bever been held so strongly as it is now. There is not the slight est cause for anxiety anywhere."

The communiqué adds that the enemy's counter-offensive on the Lunghai front "has been complete ly beaten back with frightful slaughter.""

The communique further states: There is much evidence of the demoralisation of enemy units on all fronts, and for the first time since the beginning of the war the rebels have been forced to make face our use of gendarmerie_to regulars. These signs on the part of the enemy and the daily increas ing strength of the Government troops justify an assurance to the nation to await calmly and con- fidently the speedy collapse of the rebellion."

FALL OF TSINAN.

EXPECTED AT ANY MOMENT.

(THROUGH REUTER'S AGENOT.]

SHANGHAI, August 14.- A message from Tainan stated that Government aeroplanes this morning bombed Tsinan, the fall of which is now only a matter of time,

As a result of the bombardment, to which the Shansi troops replied with machine-guns, 20

persons were killed or seriously wounded.

The Consular Body at Tsinan has made representations to the National Government protesting against further bombardments, as foreign lives and property wil thereby be endangered.

Ruling of Subject Races, The Conference affirmed that the raling of one race by another is Christian only justifiable from standpoint when the highest wel fare of the subject race is the com stant aim of the Government, and when admission to an increasing share in government is the objective steadfastly pursued. All communi- cants, without distinction of race and colour, should have access to the Holy Table, and none should he excluded from worship on account of colour or race.

The Conference resolved regret ting the prohibition of Roman Catholics from participating in world conference on faith and order, and welcoming the develop- aceut of closer relations between the Anglican, Eastern" Orthodox, Old Catholic, and the separated Eastern Churches:
