MISSIONARY CONFERENCE.
Received June 20, 9.30 p.m. LONDON, June 20. At the Missionary .'rence the Bishop of Birmingham presented a report of tha third commission, which states that the gulf between the eastern and' western nations would never be bridged if Christianity was presented to the native imagination as an alien religion. A universal religion meant a common 'message such a<* was embodied in the Apostles Cree3, and recorded in the Bible, but its real Catholicity could only be realised as each people brought forward some different aspect, namely; colour and character. It wis shocking that na-tive preachers and teachers were so largely trained by the aid of name symbols found useful in America and England. Native literature and national movements ought to be studied in order that the fixed aspects of religion should be likely to be seized by the mind of the natives.
