THE BROTHERHOOD
"Nothing could be more gratifying than the evidence of virility displayed at the national conference of the Brotherhood movement in Birmingham," says the Daily News. "It is- not only in Great Britain that the growth of the Brotherhoods is one of the striking features of the religious life of the day. In the Dominions they are rapidly extending, and their 4 expansion is not at all likely to bo limited to th© Empir* or eyen to the English-speaking people. But it is precisely among ourselves that the Brotherhoods were most badly wanted. The divorce of religion from conduct, coupled _ with the increasingly intimate association of dogmatic observance with social reaction, left serious minds, conscious of a purpose and of the obligations of fellowship, vaguely but deeply dissatisfied. "The Brotherhood movement reste on the broadest and most democratic basis, and it is to this principle, -which uniformly permeates its whole organisation, that it owes at once its usefulness and its strength."
