BISHOP AND PREMIER.
The ex-Bishop of Birmingham, in hia monthly letter to the clergy, refers to the industrial unrest, and says:—'
"Our statesmen areAeing critioised because they have found no rov.al and short road to industrial peace. The marvel to me is that some of them can. carry on at all. Tho Prime 'Minister is rushed, off first to Paris; then to London; almost •without rest. We may agree with his opinions or not, but he is doing, a good deal more than eight hours a day. work in the oountry'a service. Let us give him the help_ of our prayers and of generous recognition-of the difficulties in his way, and let us'leave for the moment ,small oritioism out of •ourt. I hope the clergy will preach, in season and out of season, that the solution of the Labour questions lies in frankness between the contending parties and in the' application of a brotherly effort .on each side to understand the position of the other, and then to take God's view of how man should treat his fellow-man."
