RECALL TO RELIGION

'י]

Appeal Of Coronation To Empire Colonies

REV. H.W. BAINES'S SERMON

Preaching in St. John's Cathedral yesterday morning, the Rey, H. W. Baines said that the Bishop of the Piòcese had been quick to see and seize the importance of the Archbishop of Can- terbury's recall to religion. Nowhere, said the preacher, does the Coronation make a more penetrating appeal than in the dis- tant Colonies of the Empire.

The preacher said-

QUICK RESPONSE

In this Diocese our Bishop has been quick to see and seize the im- portance of the Archbishop's Re- call. Nowhere does the Coronation make a more penetrating appeal than in the distant Colonles of the Empire. He has realised, as has tne Archbishop, that the ingrain-cognise an invitation and when ed practical common sense of the British people revolts against the religious solemnity and depth of the Coronation Service unless they are rained and completed in the Dedication of the British peoples with their Sovereigns to the same public service, in the same Chris- tian spirit and un the same one foundation.

Our leaders then have done all in their power to bring home the Recall to us and hitherto the re sponse had been quick and eager among responsible people. It re- malis for us, of rank and file to. align ourselves with all dispatch and all humility with the lead that

we have received from these sim- ple and powerful Christians-we have got to get down to brass tacks.

So 'you will understand how little room there is for stunts and shows in the Recall to Religion for we are The not advertising new goods.

the game was over they walked round the ground to get to close quarters on the subject. George began to question. "Does it mean that we are to become serious and go to church?. Are we to give up going to the pictures or to the Gripps' or Fanling for the week- end?". The padre

answered. "What it may mean in your case is for you to discover but what the Archbishop

actually sald was

this: 'It is a summons to refound our life, personal and national, on the will of God, on the revelation

of His will and purpose for the human race in Jesus Christ, and on the standard of human conduct

which Jesus Christ has set"

LIFELESSNESS OF WORSILIP Secondly, no doubt the world will say to the Archbishop and to all Christian Institutions "Practice what you Preach." It Ja right that the Church should -listen to such a reminder

and take itself to task.

The Archbishop himself speaking to the Members of Parliament said that the lifelessness of much public worship has helped to keep poten- tal worshippers away. I hope that all of us here who share, in public worship will ask ourselves these questions and as we do so have in our mind's eye the man or woman whom our previous carelessness or slovenliness of self-consciousness had put off coming to God.

GEORGE WRITES HOUSE This morning our name 1s George. George was well brought up with a secondary school education including re- ilgious teaching "but without any

and Jesus, His demonstration. He also remembered "not unpleasantly that the questions he had put at the beginning about weekends and being serious, Church, Holy Com munton and the Bible were still unanswered. He, like the padre, had to find out the answers by consulting not his own prejudice or convenience but the Voice of the Living God recalling him.
