First sentence: The coming Commonwealth was seen by the churches in the decade of the 1890s to have the potential to create not only a political and economic union, but, in the words of Richard Ely, also a 'social entity', where there would be a great opportunity for them to become the moral and spiritual conscience of the new nation.
