FOR THE SPIRIT OF REVIVAL

ASSEMBLY'S PEACE

CHALLENGE

From HUGH REDWOOD

Leicester, Apr, 10.

Leicester grected its Free Church visitors to-day with alternations of sunshine and driving snow, but otherwise was in no two minds regarding the welcome it gave them: This city has a reputation not only for hospitality, but also for practical Christian fellowship, and the 800 delegates to the National Free Church Council Assembly were made aware of its friendly atmosphere as soon as they entered the handsome De Montfort Hall for the Lord Mayor's official reception.

The setting, therefore, is favourable | because of the drive of a Divine pas- to a gathering which will make a real sion, is the essential ground of a true contribution to the present religious revival which, as always, cannot forward mavement, but it looks as if work itself out in social reform." some of the discussions may be lively, There is an element here which feels very strongly about such matters as Spain, the German colonies, and the distressed areas, and already there are indications that its spokesmen in- tend to make themselves heard,

GANDHI DEPLORES USE

OF TITLE "MAHATMA"

Madras, India, Apr. 10.

Gandhi's recent remarks deploring his title of "Mahatma" have led to considerable controversy in Indian political circles. Replying 10 n suggestion by a Madras newspaper that Gandhi should be called "Mister," a former president of the Liberal party, T.I.V.
