LONDON, Aug 12.-The Rt. Rev.
Henry B. Whipple, bishop of Minnesota.
= Who has been one of the most prominent
of the bishops in attendance upon the
Lambeth conference, has, by request,
written the following views of the con.
ference:
"The conference manifested de-
cided unanimity of opinion connected
with work for missions and the social
problems, which at this time have so
much interest for all thoughtful men.
One of the most remarkable speeches Of
IT, conference was made by the bishop
of Washington, DR.. Satterlee, on the
social problem connected with the. EN-.
ployer and employed, the keynote. Of
which was that men do not need char.
ity, they need what the gospel Of Christ
gives them, brotherhood, as the chill
dren of one Father. The bishop Of Al.
bany occupied a foremost position in
the conference, as one who always ex.
pressed himself with terse simplicity.
Bishop Potter always has hearing in
England as well as at home, for his
wise and loving thoughtfulness.
Position of the American Church.
think the American bishops won
the respect and love Of thei,: English
brethern. There was a strong unan.
nifty of feeling with all the American
bishops that while in fraternal love and
brotherly sympathy, our hearts are one
with the church i'll England and the
colonies, in defense of the faith and in
work Of our savior, yet they stand and
always will stand on the right Of the
national church with its peculiar re.
sronsibilities to God and His children.
The American bishops have always
maintained from the very first Lambeth
conference, that the American church
must always stand upon its rights and
maintain it's autonomy as church, and
their English and colonial brethern
all recognize that this is their position.
Great Missionary Gatherings
There were signs throughout the con.
ference that power above mems wills
was drawing Christians together. There
was very much to cheer us in the story
IF the churchs triumphs in mission
fields, such as Uganda, where 10 years
ago there was five Christians and today
722 churches, $1,000 worshipers and Co.,
600 who can read the gospel. We have
seldom been privileged to witness such
gatherings as the missionary meetings
held in connection with this conference.
At Salisbury cathedral 5000 people cell
ebrated the anniversary of the baptism
Of Ethelbert, thirteen hundred years
ago Ten thousand were present at
missionary meeting at St. Savior's
church, and the cathedrals Of Southwell
and Litchfield never had greater con.
gregations than were drawn to the
meetings there.
Memorial to Nom -COnf0rmists.
It has been pleasure to the Amer.
leans to meet some of the foremost men
among the non.conformists, who have
shown the deepest interest in our pro
ceedings. We were informed at mis-
sionary gathering at the church of St.
Saviors that it is proposed to place il
this beautiful church, one Of the oldest
in London, and excelled in grandeur
only by Westminster Abbey, mem
orial to the non-conforlnist. John Bun
van. In St. Saviors John Rogers ant
other priests in the church Of England
were condemned by their own kins,nel
in Christ to die as martyrs, and tina
such memorial should be placed il
this church is marvellous sign Of tn
