decided setback which had | hardly ex- hriusted itself when the pfesent war broke, out. Many emineint thinkers to­ day believe tim present war will bring a revival of religion, that tliefe will be a iswing-back from the; cold material­ ism and crude paganism | of modem times.| Man they tonterid is by nature religious and he will again crave for religion pure and simple. (Conceptions of! the .Supreme Being will doubtless change and vary, but men will see the arisuidity of supposing Ithat this b^utiful, and marvellous; world in which all of us were bom, and with which inextricably we must be con­ nected' all our lives, is nothing more trian ! some ; giant mechanism. They will recognise th e ; reasonableness of supposing that behind all these things, pervading the whole | universe and operating through themselves is some mysterious power urging them to do good father than do bad, and do better ralther than just good.] It] is argued mat 'even scientists [base their life wrirk on the faith ]thatithe universe is governed by a liigher order which through the darkest night can be re- li«i on to bring back light in the morn­ ing. In the same way;]it is contended the common man bases his behaviour ori the faith ,that the universe is governed by the good l and that good- n ^ must prevail in the end even after the darkest night of : scepticism and p^anism. The I doubters naturally p(|iint | to the appalling misery all around us arid esk how the world can be governed by good ?| To; that it is ptiintM out that despite the! horrors of the i^ t war and Ithe' perfect spate of atrocities in the present waf, there are men bf the highest intellectual powers iri' all countries,! ,Germany included, who btoutly cling'to the rooted faith that I in the last; iresbrt trie world is governed for good. Therefore now is the trine for thosp who through long


.study and a wide experience of life are pefsuMed that the world is ruled and directecl by the ; highest ^^d noblest tilings of life, by love and joy, by beauty and tmtiii, to [do qll in their

congresses and possibly the day may come-when there; will be mo:'ejregular congresses betwefcn various rcUgibne; not alone betwe^ the sects. I make no prophecy. Religion has h ^ a bad name fori causihgj divisions, ipefhaps it will put Its housp in order unijer, that head. In essence, religion should unite, and thej issue [whether religion or paganism is to einerge triumphant may; yet compel that process of unity. The' challenge is not ito religiousj sects,.but to! religion itself.! It may have! to join: forces to I survive.! That does [not mean that there will bfe room for none other; than one religion bearing! the samel label. ' Of necessity the | difierehti religions I and religious denominations! will preserve their own individuality; But are not the; times too ^rlous for sectarians to be;,< for ever | preaching their superior virtues, forgetting the underlying unity;? When we get down to fundamentals jit is the unity [not the divisions that piust be preyed.. The unifying power j of religion must be stressed. I It is jn the heights or the depths of the spirit that men meet. A new World Congress of Faiths can make its contribution | to the solution of the world’s h.ifflculties. jOur long­ term interests, i,if we I are far-sighted enough to see it, fie in the; establish­ ment of a world; organisation in which the difleirences between [nations can be


er h a p s , even probablyi P these congj^resses will be


settled oy the [ordinary give-and-take process pf neighbourly ! negotiation in­ stead of by the! destructive: expedient of war. For [us this may be self- interest, but if lit is it; is enlightened self-inte) est. As far back as]the last war the then | Prime | Minister (Mr. Asquith) spoke Of establishing the idea of public right-as the | goveniing Pi'b cess [of European politics. By that lie meant an equal level ! of opportunity and'of independence as between the small a id the gireat States, as between the weak and the strong, safeguards for which Were to rpst on the common will not only of Europe but of the! civilised world afeainst aggression, covetousness, selfishness, badi faith,; the abandon­


ment of the signed bond, the wanton recourse in the-case of dispute to the use ! of force add the , consequent dis- turbanc ; of the peace. Finally there was! to be a[ great! partnership nations federatid in the .Joint pursuit of a be iter amj a fuller life for those countleis millions who by their efforts and; sacrifices generation after genera-


tion, have he lp^ to mainta|in the pro- eririch the Inheritance of


gress ind human! ;y.


iNE'of the; strangest of interludes in th is ! war is the attitude of


some of our highest placed s ta l le d leaders, and statesmen wlio still pre­ tend toj believe[that Russii is on , our side. They address honeyed [words jto Russia despite her “ apprentice hand,” to quot5 Mr. Chamberlain, in] Finland. Those \mo oncC accepted, and bn that account praised, Nazi <3e many Jas a bulwarl; against Bolshevism are about as blind as, tliose who regard Soviet Russia ^ a democracy, the Fatherland of the workers bud the defender of the weak nitions g a in s t aggression. fThat era ended! with the disapiearancc'of Litvino l whose history is not as well known as it ! might be. The then Russia! Minister for Forbia Affairs was not sacked for nothing,] He was


sacked indeed because jS^tiri^ about to enter into parttiertiiip with the sane Hitler whom Litvmofl had persistently depounced.
