the archbishop of Canterbury said:
Your kindness has emphasized to me the
sense of absolute oneness of the English
and American branches of the church, ana
the almost oneness of our kindred nations.
I am glad that the misunderstanding OF
hundred-odd years ago is driven. happily,
blessedly, and, please God. permanently,
away from our hearts and from our minds
But, speaking now a churchman and
not as men of nearly related countries,
Gods care of our church In past years ana
past centuries is a memory and knowl-
edge as dear to you as 1t is dear to us.
st do not think realized what great
force there is in your Country until this
afternoon, when I faced the thousands OF
boys who comprise the junior department
of your brotherhood. If all these youth be
inculcated with the principles for which
your brotherhood stands. what must II
mean to America, and next to England,
and to all the civilized world twenty OF
thirty years hence.
"A half century ago the common answer
to the question as to what was the first
duty of Christian would invariably have
been the saving of his own soul. Now in
the underrange of view, which virtually all
men possess. 1t is generally recognized that
no man should think too much of himself;
that each is not only responsible for the
saving of his own soul alone, but for help
ing the common life with which he daily
has TO do.
DR. Davidson concluded by commencing
the brotherhood for its religious and hui
manitarian work.
The archbishop was entertained at din
ner at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel after
