of Christianity in this country? HIS Grace the Archi- bishop of Canterbury hopes so; and he has broadcast a récall to religion which has provoked an enormous amount of in- terest among all sorts of people.

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

This, I am persuaded, is not just the fond imagining of one who is a professional" Chris- tian.

when he bids them have faith in God and join the Church.

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: It 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 He bestows upon them, to carry out that will..

The Church at the moment is not doing these things, and that is why its appeal la so faceld and ineffectuai...

*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 failures and an attempt to justify its existence by con- centrating its efforts on Indi- 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 one way for organised Christianity to overcome that suspicion, and that 1s for representative spokesmen of the Church to de- clare unhesitatingly where they stand in obedience to God's will upon these great issues which are prompting the man in the street to listen to the voice of religion, and then, and only then, to invite the outsider to join a fellowship which is abso- Jutely loyal to that Divine Will.

Then let its leaders denounce the evils that we all face and thunder out their message as prophets halling a new dawn, rather than complain as coro- ners at an inquest

If a revival of religion is to come, the warld must see in the Christian Church the marks of that new society.

In other words, it must see the power of God at work, revolution- Ising the lives of its members. The trouble at present is that to the naked eye the Christians don't Beem to be very different from the heathens.

That is true in many fields, but especially in the realm of violence.. The Christian Church, for all its Insistence on the imperative duty- af loving its enemies, has fought with just as much ferocity as the savage in the past, and even now no large Christian Church has off- clally renounced war,
