"WHITHER THE CHURCH?" Bishop Curtis Replies

To the Ealitor of the "Noemu-Cuixa Darty News"

Sin—tm sorry that Tunasviius in the Sunday leader was 50 disrespectful to the 39 Articles ast misquote the frst of them. He wish Jed to make the point that whereas the "Church "preaches about a "personal" God, this article describes Him as,*without person, parts, or passions." But it really says "without body, parts oF passions" and a. few words farther on refers to the three "persons" of the Trinity.

T don't intend to enter into cone troversy, but would like to say that the point of my letter was intended to ber "What are we members of the t British community in Shanghai doing about the Recall to Religion and the all to re-dedicate ourselves. to the service of God as our King re. dedicated himself at his Coronation?"

Most of us who have to do with! the Church know something about our failures and imperfections and ce certainly need to be very penitent for our tendency to" misplace our beams and motes.
