SHEFFIELD MOVEMENTS. THE big questions of the day are well to the fore in Sheffield. The League of Nations will receive renewed support in connection with the first anniversary of the Armistice next week, and the Educa- tion Committee has given special facili- ties for the children of all the schools to hold services of thanksgiving on the morning of November 11. Christian Unity has again been the subject of a series of midday addresses at St. Paul's, the city church next to the Town Hall. But of all great subjects of the moment none is so great as the cause of mission- ary work abroad, and this is again being pressed with considerable force. The Bishop of Lichfield was the principal speaker at the annual meeting of the S.P.G., and made a profound impression upon an audience which was, however, far too email for such an occasion. True, Sheffield traditions are associated more closely with the C.M.S., of which this city is a supporter with a proud record. But surely in these days it should be self-evident that the concern of one mis- sionary society is the concern of all, and the S.P.G. might well adopt a bolder policy and take a much larger haJJ for so distinguished a speaker, while the local officials of the C.M.S. might equally well encourage their followers not to miss any opportunity of learning more of the claims of the mission field. More marked unity in such matters would certainly mean greater strength. :l'e Sheffield Press is mot very dis- criminating in its appreciation of visitors to the city. The Bishop of Lichfield's speech was compressed into about a dozen lines when reported the following morning. C.M.S. Congress. The great missionary event of the near future is in the hands of the C.M.S., winch is to hold a great Northern Con- gress-in Sheffield on November 25-27. At present the chief anxiety is with re- gard to hospitality, offers of which have not come in at all well so far. The C.M.S. Clergy Union began a new session last Friday, when the Vicar of Walkley (the Rev. S. T: G. Smith) opened with an able presidential address. He made a strong plea for a closer bond between the home work of the Church and the work abroad. In the course of discussion a suggestion was made that some of the home clergy should be sent out on tour for periods of six months to study the conditions of work overseas. It was felt by most of those present that such a scheme would give great impetus to the interest of people at home in missionary enterprise, and would more than repay the expense involved. Personalia. Canon Peter Green is giving a course of Tuesday evening lectures at the IJni- versity, and his teaching on Biblical in- terpretation is exactly what Sheffield needs if the Christian message is to have power with thinking men to-day. The Rev. C. F. Twitchett has given up the -charge of St. Hilda's, Thurnscoe, to come and work with the Rev. Spencer Elliott at St. Paul's, Sheffield, and his work has already created a favourable impression. He is a xflan of wide out- look, and is in touch with the progressive life of the Church as a whole. He will have good scope in his new sphere.

MANCHESTER ECHOES. THE Diocesan Conference held last week left one with a feeling of disappoint- ment. Most of the papers read were of a high order, especially that of the Rev. F. W. Cooper, Rector of Prestwich, on Our Relations with Nonconformists," but, as with all these gatherings, one could not help asking of what use all this talk unless something is done. We spent a whole morning discussing a living wage for the clergy, and though the Bishop told us a sum of L59,000 would be required per year to bring the incomes of-all incumbents in the diocese up to L400, we ended by voting for one offertory each year to be devoted to the Central Fund. This, at a liberal esti- mate, can bring in no more than £ 5,000 a year. Out of 600 livings in the diocese, 1123 are under £ 250 a. year. York dio- cese, out of 477 has 199, and Carlisle, out of 212, has 133 with incomes under the same amount. Let us cease talking about a living wage unless we really mean to obtain it. Perhaps the newly formed Clergy Association may show the better way. Life and Liberty. The Life and Liberty Movement Com- mittee are arranging a week's campaign, commencing on Sunday, November 16. Sermons are to be preached and meetings held in many parishes, to be followed by a big demonstration in the- Free Trade Hall on Monday, November 24, at which General Maurice and the Archdeacon of Sheffield are to be the principal speakers. St. George's Association. A new secretary, Mr. Cowan, has been appointed for the St. George's Associa- tion and begins work this week. There surely never was greater need of purity teaching than now. Canonries Bill. It appears the Manchester Canonries Bill will not meet with any serious oppo- sition. To have residentiary Canons free from parochial responsibility will be a new feature in Manchester Church life.

LIVERPOOL NOTES. THE Liverpool Diocesan Conference, originally announced for October 28 and 29, was put forward to October 23 and 24 owing to the Assizes. The change of date, together with the expenses of travel, etc., rather diminished the num- ber of members present, but as the Bishop at the end of the Conference re- marked, the tone of the discussions and the business transacted made it a notable Conference. The first morning was occupied with the President's address and reports of some Diocesan organisations. The Bishop, with his ready sympathy for his clergy, remarked that he would gladly forgo half his stipend to increase theirs. The spirit that prompted this observation has been- widely appreciated, but there are none of hie clergy who would like to see the thing done. The Bishop's absence of luxury or ostentation in his personal life and -his wide generosity are well, known and gratefully recog- nised. A New Venture. A long report was read of a new ven- ture in the Diocese—the Social Council, |of which Canon Harford is the energetic chairman. It is regrettable that illness prevented him from attending the Con- ference. The Social Council has entered upon an active existence, and will, it is hoped, effect much good. Church and Labour. In the evening a spirited discussion on Labour and the Church' took place. Mr. W. K. Bell, chairman of the Liver- pool Trades Unioh Congress, opened the debate. Coming as he did at short notice, he must not be blamed if he did not exactly speak to the resolution. He was at pains to show why the Church aroused so little interest and the Labour movement so much in the minds of trades unionists. He himself was obviously attracted by the ideals of the Labour movement; one felt his response to what might be called the romance orf it. It would seem as if, though a Churchman, he had not felt the adventure of faith, or at l r any rate deplored the lack of adventure and idealism in the majority of Church- men. If so he must have welcomed the speech of the seconder, the Rev. F. W. Dwilly, Vicar of Emmailuel, Southport, who in a brilliant paper presented the case of Labour from its loftiest aspect. In some points Mr. Dwilly definitely joined issue with Mr. Bell. He confessed that it seemed to him that Labour had a great vision but a deficient hold on principles which should govern action. Mr. Dwilly's paper was obviously the outcome of wide reading on the subject. He had prepared, at the request of the Bishop, a quite formidable list of autho- rities. It was impossible to carry away in one's mind all his argument, and one was left with the desire that more oppor- tunity could be given for wide instruc- tion on this question by one who, like Mr. Dwilly, combined intimate acquaint- ance with the subject with a firm hold on Christian principles. So few who discuss the subject lift it as Mr. Dwilly did on to the plane of the ultimate belief in God.

THE FAR NORTH. Church of England Men's Society. DETERMINED attempts are being made to revive the work of the C.E.M.S. in this diocese, and particularly the Newcastle Federation, once the largest in England. The recent visit of the Archbishop of York has greatly helped this forward movement. It is found that one of the best methods of strengthening a branch is the hold- ing of a regular weekly service for men on Sunday afternoons, since artisans and other workers in general no longer attend morning services. "A Clean Town" Moot praiseworthy efforts are on foot to influence the Municipal elections, to strengthen all movements that tend to the common weal at Wallsend-on-Tyne. The motto of the movement is a Clean town," and the express objects to make it easier for the citizens to do right and harder to do wrong. Headed by the Rector—the Rev. C. E. Osborne-and aided by a committee of representative Christians, including the Salvation Army, the campaign is achieving much. The categorical list of questions put to*the Municipal candidates was most search- ing. Other towns might well follow suit from the point of view of the Christian Church. A Clerical Reading Circle. Canon Newsom's Reading Circle for the Clergy bids fair to form a real in- tellectual and social bond between the clergy, whether High, Evangelical or Broad. He is shortly convening a meet- ing for the discussion of the relationship between the Church in Newcastle and the various forms of social and other service in this city. Quiet Day for Clergy. Organised by the Northern Clergy Home Mission Union, this took place on Wednesday last at Jesmond Parish Church, and was conducted by the Bishop of Liverpool. The subject of the address was The Shepherd of Souls-(l) His Obligation; (2) His Strength; (3) His Work." Clergy of all schools of thought were welcomed, as well as ministers of the Nonconformist Churches.

CHESTER LIFE. The New Bishop. HOPES which centred round the advent of a new Bishop promise not to be dis- appointed. Owing to unavoidable lack of Supervision the diocesan machine had become rusty in parts and somewhat out of gear. The first task of the new diocesan was clearly to examine the whole structure, to discover where re- pairs were needed and readjustment re- quired; to strengthen weak places and link the whole together, so that hence- forth it may move conjointly in response to one controlling hand on the lever. This preliminary survey will take some time. Dr. Paget has vigorously set about the task. It is his expressed purpose to examine the whole machine, section by section. Birkenhead, the largest section of all, has been subject to his over-seeing survey this past week. He has preached at four churches in the Deanery, met clergy and laity in chapter and confer- ence, and has already discerned much of I the inner working of the Church in this growing community. Clerical Changes in Birkenhead. A preferment bombshell seems to have fallen into Birkenhead recently, scatter- ing its clergy far and wide. Suddenly within a few months the town has been deprived of some of its most worthy in- cumbents. The Rev. Chas. Dodge, after a strenuous twenty years at St. Peter's, has gone to New Brighton; the Rev. J. E. Woodward at the close of fifteen years' devoted service at St. Paul's, goes south to Herne Bay, and now Dr. Bond, of St. Luke's, Tranmere, has been ap- pointed to a larger and more influential sphere at Egremont. He has rendered yeoman service in the Deanery, and his loss will be keenly felt. Following closely upon the departure of the Rev. E. C. Dewick, the Principal of St. Aid an's College, to India, the Rev. J. E. Hum- phreys, the viceprincit)ai, has been ap- pointed to the important living of Nor- bury, vacant by the lariiented death of the Rev. E. G. Streeton. There are also persistent rumours that the Rural Dean of Birkenhead is shortly to resign his benefice..

'VIGOROUS CHURCH LIFE. I.- LEICESTER NEWS. Church Congress Aftermath. Leicester is still much occupied with the Church Congress, as was to be ex- pected. It is a frequent subject of con- versation everywhere, and there is a general sense of satisfaction that it proved so great a success, and a strong hope that it may result in a real stimu- lus to Church life in the city. One or two of the clergy in the deanery are adopting the practice of reading to their Wednesday evening congregations some of the papers read at the Congress, with comments, with a view to bringing them to the notice of those who were not able to be present at the Congress meetings. This is a good idea, which clergy in other places might find useful. Bishop s Hospitality. The Bishop of Peterborough very kindly invited the members of the Con- gress Executive Committee to the Palace to dine and stay the night on Friday last. It was a delightful gathering. After dinner there was a short business -meet- ing, and for the rest of the evening there was music and talk. Next morning the Bishop celebrated Holy Communion in the Palace Chapel. A Deficit. jit is not yet possible to give the final figures as to membership and finance, as the returns have not all come in from the agencies in the country. But it is now clear that there will be a deficit, as was expected from the first, but not more than 10 per cent. or so of the amount of the Guarantee Fund while the member- ship will certainly total 1,800, and pro- bably more. It is hoped that one result of the Con- gress will be a distinct revival in men's work in the city. Woodbine Willie" has already pai(t a return visit, when he addressed a combined meeting of all the men's Bible Classes and Brotherhoods in the Edward Wood Hall. The C.E.M.S. is also hoping for a strong revival. The Rev. F. B. Macnutt has undertaken the chairmanship of the Federation, and the executive is meeting this week to plan developments. We have the visit of the Archbishop of York to look forward to. He preaches to a big Men's Service in St. Margaret's Church in the afternoon of November 16. Municipal Elections. The municipal elections in Leicester produced no startling results. Here, as in many other places, the municipal elec- tions are conducted on political party tines; but that the system is weakening is shown by the fact that less than 50 per cent, of the electorate took the trouble, to vote. The sooner we can get rid of party politics in municipal elections the better; and the Church ought to make its influence felt in that direction.
