BY CABLE-PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT,
LONDON Oct. 31. References to the Bishop Barnes controversy were continued in the churches throughout the country yesterday. The Rev. Hensley Henson, at Westminster Abbey, urged that there was nothing necessarily disturbing about the facts of the change. Christianity was the same religion despite all the variations of its history. The Bishop of Plymouth, preaching at Plymouth, said that Bishop Barnes thought he could settle with a few cheap epigrams what had exercised the world’s greatest thinkers lor hundreds of years.
The Bishop of London, addressing undergraduates at Oxford, urged that the Church had almost forgotten the .splendour of God. If they couid recapture belief in God as the Father, they should be able to reconcile the nations at Genova and to solve industrial difficulties, to say nothing of settling disputes in the Church.
