LONDON,-May 24
“The Empire must be a foremost spiritual force,” said the Rt. Hon. L. C. M. S. Amerv, addressing a Guildhall meeting, to formally receive the Church of England report on overseas activities. He added that unless a young clergyman regarded himself as enlisted in service for the poor quarters of the industrial centres or tne outlying parts of the Empire, the Church would not keep abreast of modern ideas.
A pioneering Empire and a stay-at-home Church, he said, would not go together. The Church immediately needed 250 additional clergymen for overseas and the expenditure of £200,000 while the new dioceses required £50,000 additional income.
