TASK OF THE CHURCH
DUTY IN MODERN WORLD (8.0. W.) RUGBY, Sept. 26,
Speaking at the Albert Hall at a mass meeting arranged as a sequel to the Malvern conference of last year by the Industrial Christian Fellowship, Sir Stafford Cripps said it was for the Church to provide the moral force and driving power for social and economic development. It was the duty of the Church to interpret the Christian ethic In its relationship to present day facts of life, often hard and unpleasant facts arising from neglect in the past. The hardest part of their task, he Bald, would be to convince the world that no private and selfish interests should be allowed to stand in the way of a full application of the principles in which they believed, but they must first share the strength and power of their faith by their own example.
