Bishop Freeman Tells Dio.
cese Session at Opening
Work Is to Be Done.

II am so consumed with q desire
to make my own ministry and the
ministry of this church effective to
the greater glory of God and the in
creased happiness and satisfaction of
men that 1 find myself unwilling to
pause in my quest to join in discus
sions and controversies that only
serve to hinder and impede the on
ward progress of the Christian faith" +"
said Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop
of Washington, at the opening ses-
sion today of the twenty-ninth an
nual convention Of the Episcopal
Church in the diocese of Washington
at st. Thomas Church.
There is nothing new or unique
about these present discussions" he
said. I'VE are dealing with profound
mysterles-mysteries that will al
ways engage the curiosity and spec
ulatfon ofsmen. The pursuit by some
of that which is elusive and difficult
to lay hold of need not disturb those
who are dealing with the stern prob
lens that have to do with human
needs, human passions, yearnings and
hopes.
''If we are observing and informed
diagnosticians of the temper of our
age, we shall readily discover that there
is such yearning today for the great
central truths Of our Christian faith,
such a passionate desire for the reas-
suring teachings of Christ as the world
has never before witnessed. All our
machinery, if they are not contributing
to the one supreme end of making men
and women more Christlike, more fit for
the kigdom of God, should be scrapped.
All our party. rivalries, all our ungen-
methods of administration OF the
church offices, where these meth
DDS do not infringe the express
directions set forth by Authority Of
general convention, all our heated and
church's formulae, should be silenced
before the pressing claims presented
by world that is at our gates, cry
ing, 'Sirs, we would see Jesus
One Supreme Master.
when the world situation is as
critical as it is today, when mems
hearts are falling them for fear, when
they are looking to the Church for light
and encouragement on darkened and
difficult pathways. be it ours to lift up
before their vision the one supreme
Master, who said. am the way, and
the truth and the life.'
'The world needs today the prophe
who believes and practices the thing
he breaches; it is yearning for the
witness who has been with Jesus and
learned of Hin-yes, for the witness
who with boldness and fidelity dares
to attack both the follies and the
vices Of his age. It will rejoice to
heed and follow the man who has the
courage, even in the face of public
opinion or the conventions of polite
society, to condemn practices or
usages that are indecent, vicious and
destructive Of the moral character,
Never before, perhaps, in human his
tory has the prophet of God had a
more commanding place of power and
influence than he holds today.
II am by no means to be regarded
as pessimistic in my outlook, but I
dare to affirm that there is vast
need for a mighty revival within the
church today.

they have not danced, we have piped
