“HUNGRY FOR RELIGION”
NEEDS OF BUSINESS MAN b-"" THEOLOGIANS TOO ARCHAIC DEFINITE LEAD DESIRED By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Australian Press Association. Received Sept. 23, 5.5 p.m. London, Sept. 22. Mr. Self, a well-known London business man, created a sensation at the Modern Churchmen’s conference by an outspoken protest against the verbiage and arguments of theologians. Addressing a gathering largely consisting of professors, doctors and divines of Oxford and Cambridge, Mr. Self said: “The business man does not know where he stands. You pulled down an obvious thing in which he trusted and put nothing in its place. There is too much Oxford and Cambridge about this conference. The business man is aghast at the language of your papers, while the hearts of men in the business world are full of hunger and desire for religion.” This dramatic outburst was greeted with applause.
