The Religion {
British Labor

The chaplain general oil the Amer

Bishop Brent, said to me: The one
great religious utterance of the war is
the 'Man4fes to- OF the British labor
party" In the large body Of literature
upon the religious aspects Of the war
which has been issued in Great Britain
find the note Of social reconstruction,
and the Church'5 social failures and
new social duties running ike the red
thread through the cordage Of the
British navy. In meetings and CON
ferencos the same note is heard
Now this is a strange thing. Is not
war itself so all-engrossing that the
problems Of civil life should be left
alone until the leisurely days of peace
arrive? On the contrary something
like new social passion is the animal
ing and sustaining force in the breasts
OF the soldiers. This conviction OF the
preeminence Of righteousness, in all
domains, as the great goal of the war
is what has led the British people TO
assent so heartily to President Viii

the world safe for democracy and to
accept him MS the leader OF our COM

be damned for the CRIME they did not
create? But no CRIME of mans crea-
ton can hide the godlike in them.
They laugh at misery; they go down to
the earthly he'll with Jest; they scorn
death to save a comrade; and for dim
ideals they lay down life itself right
joyously. 1t is inconceivable, whatever
in1allible theologians may say, that
hell can be the portion of these But
it is equally inconceivable that lives
so stained and marred can Immediately
pass into glory They would be very
unhappy if they did; for they would
not feel at home. There is so much of
good in them that hell cannot be their
portion; and so much of evil that
heaven cannot at once receive them.
What, then, can be their lot?

which were purely selfish. expressed
nothing but a broken VIII and the hor-
