In addressing yesterday's meeting of subscribers to Holy Trinity Cathedral, the Sub-Dean touched on @ subject which is daily attract. ing more and more attention at Home. It has been felt by many! clergymen that the Church of Eng-; land has fallen short of what might have been expected, in her, attitude towards the that she has not: delivered that clear, united message which she should have given.
We should certainly not Presume to express an opinion as to whether this feeling is rightly wrongly founded. But the fact of it has made men the more eager; that there shall be no question of the Church's attitude after the war. That there has been a great religious awakening among men in the trenches, among men who never made special, or indeed any, practice, of religion before they went out to fight, is testified to by man; clergy; and & strong movement is beginning in favour of preparing adequately to meet this state of when the soldiers return. As, one London preacher bluntly put it 'o his congregation but a few weeks ago: "Are you content to let hings go on in the old way? Or I you slough off the old conventionalism and help to make the Church a living organism? If you do not, you cannot hope for a moment to hold the men when they come-back from the war. They will go either to Rome or the undenomi national churches."
