LABOUR AND RELIGION.

THE GOSPEL OF BROTHERHOOD.

The proletariatising "of the religion that came to birth amongst working people is how Mr. Herbert Stead, Warden of Brown- ing Hall, Walworth, described to a Daily Chronicle representative recently the movement which is to be discussed shortly at an In- ternational Conference on Labour and Religion at Browning Hall.

Explaining how the movement began in 1910-the initial con- ference being followed by yearly gatherings in the first week in May until 1915-Mr. Stead men. tioned that, although it is not. generally recognised, the initiat- ory rite of the early trade unions was often a religious eeremony, and many of the meetings were opened with singing and prayer.

Trade union and Labour leaders have come in great numbers from the Primitive Methodist, the Wesleyan and the Baptist Chur- ches, and most of the first working men sent to Parliament were local preachers.

Labour leaders who were the

of regarded in

ranks orthodoxy as iconoclasts of the first order have come to these yearly conferences and spoken of the appeal which a simple evangelistic religion makes to the minds that want to make the world a better place materially.

Addressing a conference held just before his death, the late Keir Hardie.said that if he were 30 years younger and bad the experience he had gained in politics during 35 years, he would abandon house and home. his wife and child if need be. to go forth among the people and pro- claim anew the full message of the gospel of Jesus of Nazareth. The portert of this vigorous alliance between Labour and Religion has not been lost on the leaders of the historic Churches, The Bishop of London, speaking of the movement, said that "this great gospel of brotherhood. love and equality of opportunity, is he gospel originally preached by be historic Church. It was this hat carried it throcgh the first hree centuries of persecution and made it the marvel of the world.".

Speakers at their coming con- ferance. which will open shortly under the presidency of Mr. George Barnes. M.P.. will be continued on the follow- ng four days. and will include Mr. Wm. Adamson, M.P. Labour party leader. Mr. George Lam- bury. Mr. Arthur Henderson, Mr. Frank Hodges (secretary of the Miners Federation), and speakers from Norway, Denmark, Holland, Finland and Italy.

SPURGEONS AUNT.

CELEBRATES HER BIRTHDAY.

100TH

Mrs. Spurgeon, aunt of the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon, cele- brated her hundredth birthday at her humble Home in Anerley recently, when she received the following message from the sent King's private secretary, from Balmoral-

The King is much gratified to learn that you are to-day cele- brating your hundredth birthday, and I am commanded to send to you an expression of his Ma- jesty's congratulations and good wishes.

Mrs. Spurgeon, interviewed, said she felt rather tired, she had been up much earlier than usual; and it was a good thing she did get up, she added. Otherwise she would not have been able personally to receive the large number of visitors and the congratulatory message which had arrived. She received gifts from the vicar and members of the parish church, among others..

Despite failing eyesight, Mrs. Spurgeon still follows closely the doings of the day. Strikes and labour troubles are a problem

which she cannot understand.

"There were no unions when was girl; but there were, workers," she said.

Her humble income is now almost inadequate to meet the rise in prices. She has £20 a year from the Agricultural Ben- evolent Institution and her own private means are strictly limited. The oldest of an Essex family. of-aine, she was always industri- ons and cheerful, and has lived a quiet life. She had no children, but she brought up a niece (now Mra, Everitt, a widow); who is returning Mrs Spurgeon's good. nese by looking after her
