LABOUR MEMBER. BEAD , LONDON, March 21. ; Obituary—Samuel Clowes, Labour j member for Hanley Division, aged 04. < Cl! [IRCTI ‘ ANl> “WOMEN. (Received this dav at 10.15 a.mA J LONDON, March 25. “The world to-day needs the faithful ( fulfilment of women’s normal functions. This cannot he achieved in female priests and bishops, but in Christian wives and mothers,” said Bishop Durham at a Diocesan Conference. The enormous decrease in ordination candidates has brought s about a crisis in the Anglican Church d resulting in church schools having t disappeared in most parishes. Assis- t taut curates are rapidly going, and e incumbents arc ceasing to be, and parish priests are becoming ministers to such congregations as they can gather. The generation is growing up in industrial districts not possessing the elements of 'Christian faith. I " do not believe the crisis can he met I by women priests. There is no as- H sumption of female inferiority in an w exclusion from holy orders. Ihe only recognition of woman’s distinctiveness, in natural functions which cannot he ignored is the spiritual achievements of the individual women past and present, do not justify such a departure from Christ's institutions and 11 the breach of Christendom’s tradi- >' tions as the admission of women to P Holy Orders in equality with men is b most menacing. A modern evil is the t- 1 repudiation id' woman’s wifely and motherly functions largely due to a " multitude of single women who in •<■' consequence of the war are. tumble to si marry, and are therefore seeking al- c< ternntives. This repudiation, dictated, ni by a perverted notion of sexual 111 equality, is made possible by the mis- a ] application of science and implies the R disintegration of the family, and elimination of principal discipline in ■which citizenship is divinely ordain- 1’ cd to develop. This deliberate, shame- si less, actively propagandist abuse eon- sl Ntitutes a challenge the churches dare “ , . In not ignore. h GOVERNORSHIP OF NORTH «■ Ireland. l] LONDON, March 25. u Lord Abereorn’s Governorship of al North Ireland has been extended for tl six years. AY DUTCH CLERGY ATTITUDE. ° AMSTERDAM, March 25.
