MR H. VALUER'S SCHEME.

BISHOP GORE’S CONTINUED INTEREST. (Feom Oob Own Cobeespondent.) LONDON, November 30. ' There is no doubt that the Rt. Rev. Bishop A. W. Gore is really greatly interested in the Valder-Co-Partnership Scheme (embodied in the Companies Empowering Act, 1924), and that he means to make known its tenets on every possible occasion. . ~ , Last week the Rural Dean of Hackney, in North London, arranged a meeting, whose subject was “The Application of Christianity to our Social and Industrial Life,” or in the words of the man in the street, “What is the church going to do about it?” The economic needs of the age call for earnest thought. The Bishop of Stepney was in the hair and the speakers were Bishop Gore, Mrs Philip Snowdon, Sir Robert Gower, and Sir H. Slesser. Bishop Gore gave a most remarkable address lasting nearly an hour, and during its delivery there was a tense silence and manifest interest. The audience was entirely a working-class one. Toward the end of his address Dr Gore mentioned that he had made two great friends from New Zealand—Mr H. Valdor and the Rev. F. Harty—who had a claim—and a claim which seemed to him to be most promising and hopeful, and which satisfied one of the great needs of the day namely, to make it worth while for a man to do his best. And he asked the meeting: Is it worth the average workers while to do his or her best to-day? Under Mr Valders scheme it is.” This he described as one of the most hopeful things he had come across—it fitted in with his own views and it appealed to him as a sound scheme.
