cipai Of the Clergy School at
Leeds, assured the vast audience
that all over the north of England
they were facA to face with a ris.
ing tide Of Socialism which they
were powerless to stem even if
they wished to do SO. Countless
workers in the feres, furnaces
and mills, of the north had adopt.
ed the Socialistic idea and held
to it like a religion and loved it
like bride. He demanded that
the Church give a free field TO
Socialism He appealed to it to
try to understand it and not to
hasten tn discount it.
