C.E.M.S. CONFERENCE
ARCHBISHOP ON CONVERSION. THE LABOR MOVEMENT. [Fee United Press Association.] CHRISTCHURCH,. December 27. Archbishop Julius, addressing the Dominion Conference of the Church of England Men’s Society, said that the gospel of conversion was not a living thing in the Church If a man wished to be converted ho had to go to tho Salvation Army. There was something wrong with a ministry when men were not being converted. He was in deep sympathy with the Labor movement, but was tremendously anxious about some things in connection with it. Ho knew its ideals were true and according to the min-d of Christ, but he was afraid the Labor Party might forget tho spiritual and mystic -..basis of any work that would be lasting and true. It might build on something narrower _if it did not realise the spiritual basis of its ideals If it “ chucked ” religion and the spirit of Christ, and lost sight of the sacramental nature of earthly service, it would be just about as helpful as other parties. 1
