THE CHURCH'S INFLUENCE
CLERICALISM MUST BE ABOLISHED. PATRONISING- THE POOR. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, October 4. (Received October 5, at 10.5 a.m.) At tho Church Congress now meeting at Stoke-on-Trent tho Rev. J. R. Diggie, M.A., in the course of an address, said that clericalism was the canker which many countries were ruthlessly abolishing- The process was painful, but inevitable and necessary. The Bishop of London (Dr Ingram) was equally critical. The Church, he eaad, bad not heeded the- passionate desire for a heaven on earth, which, was at the basis of the labor movement. The latter was a definitely religious movement, and tie reason for the Church of England's want of influence was because it was still a class church, and apt to like the poor only as long as they kept their proper ;rjaces.
