PAN-ANGLICAN CONGRESS.

THE UNEMPLOYED PROBLEM.. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. By Telegraph.—Press Association—Copyrisiu. London, June IS. The social section of the Pan-Angli-can Congress in the Albert Hall discussed the question of sweating. _ Senator Dobson, of Australia, urged the need of the regulation of the existing machinery dealing with the unemployed problem. He recommended labour bureaux, also a penal colony, for unwilling workers, and a labour colony for the physically inefficient, in addition to a better colony for the honest unemployed, who were unable to find an honest day's work. There ought, he continued, to be some arbitration authority to settle the wages question, and added: " We must tax the Labour party with materialism : there is no spiritual force behind it." The. Rev. J. L. Pore, of New Zealand, explained the reasons for the absence of sweating in New Zealand. The. Christian Truth section, in the Kensington Town Hall, discussed Christian Science. The majority of the speakers favoured the rejection of its errors and the retention of the vital principle by the Church reverting to the healing office exercised in the Apostolic days. Reference was made to a unique clinic in Boston, where the physician and a theologic psychologist, successfully co-operate in the alleviation of nervous disorders. The Baptist Union sent the Congress an affectionate greeting. THE CHURCH'S WATERLOO. ADDRESS BY BISHOP NELIGAN (Received June 19. 11.10 p.m.) London, June !9. The Pan-Anglican Congress to-day discussed the temperance question, the speakers including the Rev. Harold Anson (formerly warden of St. John's College, Auckland). Bishop Neligan, presiding over the section for the discussion of the. preparation of the young for personal service in the. Church, asked : " Remembering this is the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, what would win the Church's Waterloo?" Nothing, he said, but a whole-heart-ed and devoted clergy and laity would do it.
