CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
IMPORTANCE TO WORLD'S FUTURE. A statement and appeal was issued from Lambeth Palace recently signed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of York, and the Archbishop of Wales, on the subject of Christian education. “We rejoice to know." says the statement, “that, we are in full agreement with leaders ol the Free Churches. We know, too. that the teaching profession increasingly shares our convictions.” The statement goes on: There is an ever-deepening conviction that in this present struggle we are fighting to preserve those elements in human civilisation and in our own national tradition which owe their origin to Christian faith. Yet we find on every side profound . ignorance of the Christian faith itself. There is evidently an urgent need to strengthen our foundations by securing that effective Christian education should be given in all schools to the children, the future citizens of our country. The need is indeed so great and so urgent that former denominational or professional suspicions and misunderstandings must be laid aside, and all who care for the place of Christianity in our common life should stand together.
