(Received Oct. 16, 8.45 p.m.) London, Oct. 15
The newspapers are giving prominence to the Church Congress at Lei-
cester. . Bishop Gore read a paper an which ho pessimistically reviewed the outlook for-Christianity as judged by the growing demand for divorce and acquiescence in fornication and race suicide. Dean Inge, in an address, dwelt upon the passing belief in a localised heaven and hell, and said he did not pretend that belief as to the resurrection of the body stood where it did. He uttered a warning against a revival of necromancy, in which many desolate hearts were seeking a. spurious satisfaction.
