OVERSEAS ACTIVITIES.
Dominion Secretary and Church's Part. CLERGY NEEDED. LONDON", May 25. "All ranks and classes throughout the Empire can participate in building up the overseas nations and in making the Empire a great force for righteousness. "Let us see that we hand on untarnished the glory of the spiritual inheritance which we hold in trust for the Kmpire. and which must be our foremost spiritual force." The Secretary of State for the Dominions. Mr. L. S. Amery, used these words in addressing a meeting at the Guildhall to fermally receive the Church of England's report on overseas activities. Mrimtry said that unless a young clergyman regarded himself as enlisted in service for Use poor quarters of the industrial centres or the outlying parts of the Empire, the Church would not keep abreast of modern ideas. A pioneer of the Empire and a tuv-at-home Church would not go togethe'r. The Church was in immediate need of 250 additional clergymen for overseas, and was faced with an additional expenditure of £200.000. while the new dioceses required an additional income of £50,000 a year.—U- «ad NX and Sydney "Sun.")
