CHURCHES GREATEST TASK.
“The greatest task in trout of the Church to-day is to reconcile the faith with modern thought, and to present it in terms intelligible to the educated world. This is the problem of all others which calls for •sesigtiou. We spend years in discussing problems of public worship liturgiologist differs from liturgiologist. and party rushes to arms against party, but meantime greater numbers by far are asking ii there is a God'who can be\ worshipped at all. We are concerned and rightly concerned as to the relations between Church and State; but this is a domestic problem compared to the nel- - of making the nation Christian in faith and practice. . . On the relationship between modern phil oscip'iica! and scientific com options and the Christian faith little, lias yet been written. Here and there are to lie found volumes of useful essays; here and there a hook hy some Christian writer who sees the necessity ol interpreting doctino in relation to the present state of knowledge.” —Dr Garbolt, Hi'shop of Southwark, preaching to the undergraduates at Cambridge.
