Mistake to Bind Fortunes of Church

 t. Louis, Oct. 20-Urging that with out affiliating itself with any "politi- cal scheme" the church take a larger interest in the work of improving the masses, leaders of the church spoke at a joint meeting of che two houses of tn Protestant Episcopal general convention here. They said that by such action. the great mass of labor ing people, many of whom have been estranged, can be won back to the church."
 The Right Rev. Edwin S. Lines. bishop of Newark (New Jersey) said It's a great mistake to bind the for tunes of the church with the privil- edged classes.'
 There are many men who tell me they are opposed to so many move ments in the church, but that is only beeause they oppose movements of any kind.
 Tt is great misfortune to put the fortunes of the church up to the priv teged people. In binding the fortunes of the church of England with the rivileged class it's hold on the great body of the unrivileged has been lost bishop of the English church told me not long ago that HOW the priv lleged people have lost theiz interest In the church and that the unprivil- eged have long ago been lost by the lack of interest taken in them by the church. That Is why the Church of England is now so weak.
