BISHOP DESCRIBES CHURCH GO UNCI Dr. Scadding Tells of Debate on Religious Topics at Lambeth Palace. CHRISTIAN UNITY DESIRED Sixty American Prelate Who At tended Conference Praise High ly Courtesy and Hospitality of English People, Bishop Scaddlnx has Just returned from the Lambeth Conference, and at the re quest of The Oregonlan has stated his Impressions of that great event. The Lambeth Conference is a gathering of Archbishops. Bishops Metropolitan, and other Bishops of the Holy Catholic Church In full communion with the Church of England, held every ten years at Lambeth Palace under the presidency of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The bishops. 243 In number, met dally in con ference, and took into consideration various questions affecting the welfare of God's peoplo and the work of the church In divers parts or the world. The Holy Eucharist was celebrated at Westminster Abbey, and the discussions commenced at 10:30 and lasted till 5 r. XL. with an hour for luncheon. A buffet luncheon was served daily In the large hall and dining-room of Lambeth, and the bishops were guests of the Archbishop of Canterbury. These informal luncheons, with the palace gardens to stroll In after wards, gave the bishops good oppor tunities to Inform themselves of fields other than their own, and to know each other personally. Church World Force. From the first to the last day the bishops realised that the links which bind them to the historic past are not fetters upon the free and enterprising spirit which Is essential to prepress. The coming together or so many oisnops irora all Darts of the earth emphasized the fact, stated more than once, that the church Is not a mere sect, but a worm force; that It Is not a church for any particular section, or race, or class of people, but for the whole world and for mankind. The subjects proposed for consideration were first brought before sessions xf the whole conference, lasting for six full days. Having been there set forth In . outline, they were then referred to large and carefully-chosen committees, and the reports of these committees, with the resolutions which they had prepared, were subsequently laid before the con ference, meeting again to consider them in full session from July 27 to August 5. Based on these reports and resolutions an encyclical letter was prepared. It will soon be printed for distribution, and will be well worth reading by every thought ful person. The sectarian spirit mas dis tinctly absent, and the predominant thought In the minds of the bishops was of the church as ordained of God for the service of mankind. Subjects at Conference. The subjects under discussion were "The Reunion of Christendom." "Organ isation in the Anglican Communion." The Moral Witness of the Church to the Problems of the Day," "Ministries of Healing." "Religious Education." "Sup ply and Training of the Clergy." "For eign Missions." "The Faith and Modern Thought." "Marriage Problems," etc. In the wide and far-reaching discus sion on all these burning questions there was not the slightest Irritation or ex pression of personal feeling. The bishops spoke eacnestly and from deep convic tion, but with the tenderest considera tion for those with whom they might not be able to agree. Never did the church seem so large and roomy and truly cath olic to me as It did during the compre- ,' henslve and Instructive debates In which one oi me great scnoiars ana imeuec- tusl giants of the English episcopate , took part. Very remarkable and im pressive was the tone of mind which pre vailed In all the meetings. There was no falntness of heart In facing great questions, and no narrowness of mind In dealing with them. The genuine wish to work together swept away all thoughts of partisanship, and brought Instead the reality of mutual understanding. Minds 'and hearts were lifted up on high, and as Ifrom the Mount of God men saw visions .of service. In the church's quickened sense of the truth that only In the service of man- kind can Its calling be fulfilled, we see. beyond all clouds of difficulty and per- Iplexlty. the clear shining of a great hope. (For wherever men are living and need help, whether the need be conscious or unconscious, thither the Church of Christ who took on Him the form of a servant Is beckoned by the opportunity of service. Biblical Criticism. With regard to the materialistic spirit of the age and the modern criticism of the Bible, the bishops concluded, after careful Investigation, that materialism has not today the power which It had that science displays In an unprecedented way the witness of nature to the wisdom of God; that our thought and knowledge lead up to the one profound but simple truth of the unity of God and man which was revealed In the Bon of Man. our Lord Jesus Christ. So the bishops testified to their belief that nothing has shaken or can supersede that revelation. The rightful freedom of thought and criticism has not "taken away the Lord." It has not hidden from us the power of the inspiring spirit In the scriptures of the Old Testament. It has. not shaken the Interpretation of their master, and his work which his disciples have left us by the power of the same spirit In the new. Rather we see things more clearly, and in better proportion by the teaching of God through the thought of later days. A high part of the service which the Church of Christ has to render to men is to train and guide them In the wor ship nf God, and In particular In public or common worship. The growing ex perience of the Anglican communion in different parts of the world and among different races has pointed to the necessity of the adaptation and enrich ment of forma of service and worship which have come down to us from other times. Such adaptation and enrich ment are advisable, and indeed essen tial. If our church Is to meet the real needs of living men and women today. The bishops accordingly made certain practical suggestions In this direction. Social Responsibility. Socialism, as socialism, was not at all considered by the conference, but so cial Interests were its constant pre occupation. The bishops were glad to notice the growing recognition of so cial responsibility on the part of an in creasing number of men and women who devote themselves to philan thropic, ethical and moral movements In poverty-stricken and congested dis tricts oX g,reax cities.

It was felt by all that fearlessly to assist In the evolution of a Juster or ganization of society, by the exercise of her prophetic office, without tying herself to any partisan politics. Is the paramount duty of the Church of God. With regard to Christian unity tne resolution passed by the bishops may seem cold In comparison with the warmth of desires of many hearts. The conference Indicated some lines of definite practical approach to other churches. Wherever the bishops were sure that an advance would be wel comed, they went far to meet their brethren. Where they felt It necessary to sound a note of warning they spoke the truth In love. Their statement reads: "Wo cannot In the name of peace. barter away those precious things of which we have been made the stewards. Neither can we wish others to be un faithful to trusts which they hold no less sacred. We must fix our eyes on the church of the future to be adorned with all the precious things, both theirs and ours. We must constantly desire, not compromise, but comprehension; not uniformity, but unity. The 60 American blRhops were of one accord loud in their praise of the hos pitality and courtesy of the English people, and our presiding bishop has voiced our appreciation In the English and American papers. The King and Queen received us at Buckingham Pal ace. the Prince and Princess of Wales gave a garden party at which the King Hnd Queen were present. Ambassador Reld gave a reception, and several dinners. The Archbishop of Canter bury and Mrs. Davidson entertained every American bishop and his wife, or daughters, for three or four days at Lambeth Palace, and the Bishop of London did the same at Fulham Palace. and In many private homes, both In London and In tho country, entertain ment was lavishly provided. In addition to this Mrs. Scadding and I visited Canterbury. Rochester, Lym- mge. Graydon, Bexley. Dartford. wlm bledon. Leamington. Stratford-on-Avon. Bath, Shrewsbury, Liverpool, and many other towns. In all these places we were delightfully entertained, and I preached or gave missionary addresses. We motored for three days through Warwick and the Shakespeare country to Bath, and thence to London. How beautiful are the English roads and lsnes! An American's first impres sion of England, when he motors past the high brick walls, with the broken glass on top. or the high hedges which Inclose the British homes. Is that the English are very cold and exclusive, but let him go with proper Introduc tion, and. metaphorically, the walls and hedges fall down and genial greeting and hospitality of the heartiest awaits him within. At present out-of-door services are popular in England. ' At Shrewsbury I had the privilege of addressing about 12.000 people In the park. This was an open missionary service, and a brass band led the multitude In singing hymns. On several occasions at the close of evening prayer and after I had already preached in church, I Joined the vicar and choir in an after-service in the church-yard and preached again. All these parish churches and cathed rals were beautiful and historic, and filled by large congregations, and the people seemed greatly Interested In fcaarlnsc about the American chuxolv. .LI ! - Ills IK 1 t , , , - A If 1 , Sil1r2: r- - c" , If v I .
