PAN-ANGLICAN CONGRESS.
London, June 23,
The Pan-Anglican Congress discussed Christianity and Socialism. The Bishop of Birmingham sent a paper claiming that the Church ought to make a tremendous act of penitence for so long failing to behave as the champion of the oppressed and of the weak. Major Everett, an Australian, declared that Socialistic legislation had benefited Australia. Lord William Cecil put the case against Socialism in the interests of the poor. As the poor man’s friend, he pleaded that the neck of the poor should not be put under the iron heel of the Government. Mr Arthur Balfour, ex-Premier, delivered an address on the conflict between science and religion, declaring that it was impossible to conceive human society permanently deprived of the religious element. But, personally, he looked to science more than to anything else as the great ameliorator of the human lot. He did not believe that those two great powers would be in immutable and perpetual antagonism.
