CHURCH AND LABOUR.
NEED FOR CHRISTIAN IDEALS. Christchurch, December 27. Archbishop .Julius, addressing the Dominion conference of the C.E.M. S., said that the gospel of conversion was not a living . thing in the Church. If' a*man wished to be converted he had to go to the Salvation Army. There was something wrong with the ministry when men were not being converted. He was in deep sympathy with the Labour movement but was tremendously anxious about some tilings in connection with it. He knew its ideals were true, and according to the mind of Christ, but he. was afraid the Labour Party might forget the spiritual and mystic basis of any work that would be lasting and true. It might build on something narrower if it did not realise the spiritual basis of its ideals. If it “chucked” religion and the spirit of Christ and lost sight of the .sacramental nature of earthly service, it would be just abort! as helpful as other parties.
