CHURCHES AND PARTY POLITICS.
From H. CURTIS, Eastwood:— 1 was
present at last Sunday afternoon's service
at the Central Mission, and with the Bev.
A. H. Melbourne quite agree that Mr.
Hill delivered a statesmanlike address, and
free of the party spirit, I hone to have
the pleasure of listening to Mr. Crosby,
MJ., next Sunday. Mr. Hancock states
that the Church will be made 'the cockpit
of political propaganda.' I am thankful
that the Central Methodist Mission Church
has Jed the -way t$ try to solve complex
social problems, for life itself will haW
to be reconstructed to achieve this great
task. Of all organisations the Church
should be the least afraid of her respon
sibilities, lor. rightly understood, she holds
the key to the whole situation. She knows
the secret of cational greatness, and of
social health. She cannot be more active
than she has been, relative to culture and
the theological training of her ministers,
but she certainly can become more active
about the temporal welfare of the masses.
The Church must be united, and take a
deeper interest in social reform, and iden
tify herself with the strug/.es of the people.
She must be the unwearied champion of all
forms 01 right and the unsleeping foe of
wrong of every shane.
