It was an' inbor-n desire in human nature for something better —not an organisation,' hut! an organism working in the individual, and the foundation of all real reforms. -It was significant that all real reformers met' with the opposition of the religious sects of their day.

He did not hold up the .Labour Party as perlcet, but it was only wlic'ii both the members ot the Church and of the Labour Party became more Christ like that we would bring about that state of society which the Creator intended to be. .
