PLAIN SPEAKING

(Received 5, 10.20 iifiii.)

London, October 4

At the church congress at Stoke-on-Trent, Dr. Higgle, Bishop of Carlisle, in an address on “Clericalism,” said it was a canker which many countries were ruthlessly abolishing by a- process painful, but inevitable and necessary.

Dr. Ingram, Bishop of London, considered it equally critical that tho church war, taking no heed cf the passionate desire for a heaven on earth, which was the basis of the labour movement. Tiie latter was definitely a religious movement. The reason of the Church of England’s want of influence was because it was still a class church, and was apt to like the poor so long as they kept their proper nlacos.
