THE MAN'S PART
"SPLENDID MATERIAL TOR GOD'S WORK."
CHRISTCHUCH, 24th May. At the Church Congress this afteraoon, C.E.M.S. questions were dis- I cussed. The Bishop of Goulburn said that the Church of England Men's Society., was reaching its second crisis, though it had not so much lost ground to make up in New Zealand as it had in Australia. There was no finer type of manhood in the world than that of Australia and New Zealand. Tha great mass of them might be coarse tongued, but they were clean Jived and presented splendid material for God's work. They were plastic, but they were beginning to set. and he prayed that they might be. touched before they set into a mould.
Mr. 0. Kingdon (London) conveyed tho fratdrnal greetings of the Bishop of London, who was president of the C.E.M.S., to the overseas bishops. (Applause.) As a, member of the head council he brought them the warmest greetings of the council. There never was a time in the history of the Church, he continued, whon the call to men was so necessary.
