THE LEAVEN
It is difficult to see what good can come of Mr. Chandler holding up the Church's failings for those who are already only too anxious to find excuses for their non-co-operation and general lack of support. We may have fallen far short of Our Lord's commands. but we must remember"' the leaven" and do our best with what gifts and opportunities are ours. It not given to all to be able to turn the 'world upside down," as did the early Apostles. If Mr. Chandler can do this it would be an excellent thing, if not doing the very best he can in his limited sphere of parish Priest, as a consistent "leavener," would also be an excellent thing, and * fee l of far more value to the Church and her Master, than the continually laying bare of her failings. After all the present time is intensely difficult for the Church, so ? s for tey institutions, and destructive criticism will not ' oun dation for future or immediate progress. HELEN DEBEXHAM.
