Expansion of the ohuroa followed expansion of political Sower. The penoa oi cnucn expansion atee from that day . little over tOO years ago when, as the Bishop of Lon don said in his , Jamestown address: "A grain of mustard see was blown ashore" in Virginia, and the Anglican cnurch, found firm root in a new and fertile soil. -From Virginia came the nation's) leaders in the political empire that was built on this small beginning, and men of the Anglican church took prominent and telling parts In' the polit ical, educational and social upbuilding. - Xn thm British Umpire. Today the British empire- embraces 169 dioceses. Of these only 69 are in the homeland, the provinces having more, Australia and New Zealand have 27, Asia 24. Canada tt. the West Indies and South America 8, and Africa 18. In the United States offspring of Elizabethan England there are 1 dioceses, with an approximate membership of 860,000, more than a third of these being in New England. From the American church there wlir be many speakers, at both the congress and the meeting of bishops at Lambeth which follows. Notable among these will be - the bishops of southern Virginia, Tennessee Al bany, Massachusetts, New York, Chi cago, Louisiana, Shanghai. Vermont. Rhode Island, Connecticut and Southern Ohio and the bishop coadjutor of Fond (hi. Lac . .

The first section Is to deal with the church and human society, and : the others with 'the -ministry, the mls- slons to non-Christian countries, the missions In Christendom.-and the AbrI loan communions So great will be' the attendance that only i.TOO free seats wllt.be available In Albert hall, and when, tne St. ram meeting is held only delegates will be admitted, and many of these will have to 'be content with standing room. With its manifold in- terests. its great business and its large - attendance the conference will cost over ' 1I6.000, j . -1 .... This conference will mean more than the expression of modern missionary enthusiasm.- It will show a concerted ef . fort on the part of the entire Anglican church to ,handle more Intelligently the problems of new churches in new lands from a misston point of view, from the colonial point ' of view and from the home point of view. Said the Bishop of Carlisle hot' long ago! "One of the surest -notes of w living religion is that as It grows older It also grows younger. Always the same at its foundation, it is ever changing its Superstructure. This quality of cnahgelessness and change makes the Christian " religion to differ from all Other World religions Chris-, tlanlty Is essentially an historic re ligion."' It' Is to keep this foundation always strong and to build the super . structure to suit the ever widening needS'Of a great and growing people the)t the" Conference meets next week. A JTotable Tact. It is a notable fact that this meeting la held on the-anniversary of the his-, torlo da when- King John at Runny mede, signed the Magna Charta in the presence of stern and compelling nobles who saw. that in the Instrument went the proviso, that, "the Church of England Anglo-Saxon race from the British Isles to America and to the English colonies. With the race went the Anglican church, for, its mission, aooordlng to the fair minded bishop of stepney, is not nation al but catholic The center of gravity of the Episcopal church became Ident ical with that of the race. Henry Clay Once said that the stability of the American government depended on the perpetuation ef - the - Episcopal church and the supreme court, laying greater stress on the importance of the church. Of the work tf the Anglo-Saxon race In this country Ambassador Bryce said not Ions; ago: "You have established per fect religions equality and remain-more or less a religious people. Tou have gone further than any other nation in giving comfort, enlightenment and op portunities for progress to the Individ ual man, In whatever . station or of whatever,. stock." , . -. ?.,s.,,i.-t Soadon OonXerenoe. --v - y'-' - In the great London conference bish op, clergy and layman will gather for the first time In the history of the church to consider -all the difficulties that beset their way. all their aspira tions for the furthering of their work, all the experiences they have had, and so, by comparlsbn, counsel and dis cussion, find new avenues of endeavor and wider scope for- the work, of the Anglican church. On especial feature brought out In this - conference Is the fact that laymen, are invited, - urged, to eome and take part in the discus sion, proving ; the growing power and influence of this - part of the church. For over fifty years bishops of the Church of England have met in the famous Lambeth conference; Inviting bishops of the American church to con ference with them, but never before in the history of the Anglican, church has there been this world-wide call for the clergy and laymen as well as for. the blShOP,' .. Together the British and Americas branches of the church can plan things that can be worked out better than if Lthey labored separately. They can find a greater opportunity ror gooa mn If - working alone.

Woman's' Xniluenoe. v In proof of the twentieth' century recognition of woman and her Influ ence in all thins, the conference will devote a day. to the discussion of ques tions relating to woman ana ner in terests. Modern views About marriage and divorce with its legal and social side will bs dilated upon by the women delegatea They will talk of gamb bling among women, of women's work and wages, of the liquor trafflo and the alleged increase of drinking among women, and offer suggestions as to the best ways to promote theological and Bible study among their sex.
