THE DEAN OF CANTERBURY.


The Very Rev. DEAN OF CANTERBURY said that
all the English delegates would return with the
recollection not OF the kndliness but of tile genial
hearty love OF the people; but he would not refer
to 1t on that occasion, for he wanted to ask
that audience what would be the result OF
the great meetings OF this Conference2 We knew
what would be the effect upon the most OF the Eng


sh delegates, it was that OF an increased sense OF
their lab0rs IN their own country. But they would
not get away from the thought that in this country

people rise up to the sense OF what they are

He hoped and prayed that a deep sense OF respOn-
sibility would rest upon the people OF America,
and that this country may not be looked upon by
England and other nations merely as the land OF
freedom, but as the land OF those who love God.
