CHRISTIAN ORDER.
Sir,-I want to say thank you for your article on Christian Order. It is very fine. It seems to me it is only the spiritual life which matters. It doesn’t matter to what church or creed one belongs. What counts is the vision of the world beyond and of the beauty of holi-
ness:
E.
P.
(Christchurch).
Sir,-I agree with your correspondent "Rev. III. 16." The Campaign for Christian Order is too polite: it is trying to be all things to all men. If it trod on some toes the resulting squeals of protest would be sweet music; instead of that, official blessings are crooned over it by all sections of the community. One is reminded of the saying "Beware of peace when all men speak well of her." The Church’s explanation is that the Church as such is concerned only with the general principles of politics, not with their practical application, yet the Archbishop of Canterbury, who inspired the Malvern Conference, which in turn is supposed to have inspired the present New Zealand campaign, is an avowed Socialist. So was Christ-CHRISTIAN SOCIALIST (Wellington).
