[No title]
To some of those who last week journeyed painfully from the West t.) Cardiff for the Church Congress, and saw the interest with which the thick packed ranks of spectators watched in the streets the procession to St. John's Church, and more than made up for the silly churlishness of their municipal Head by their spontaneous welcome, with which the crowded congregations listened to the opening sermon, and with which audiences unfailing in numbers and eager attention, subsequently filled the floors and galleries of the halls, where prayers were read and speeches delivered, the question may in one way or other have suggested itself, What went ye out to see ? Why this concourse in street, and Church, and Hall. It was certainly not for the procession's sake, marred as it was by the ominous inability of the clergy to keep together, and by the large hearted toleration which tipped the surpliced column with square cap, birettas and wideawakes indifferently; nor merely to hear the sound sense and wise and eloquent counsel of the preachers; nor only to listen, to the able treatment of the questions of the day, by men chosen for their special capacity. To most of those who met at Cardiff, the Congress meant more. They felt that it was the coming together in a council, if an informal one, of a great Society for the promotion of Good, to which they themselves belonged, the disruption of which they were determined to prevent, of which, with its reconciliation of various schools of thought, and its myriad objects, innumerable ramifi- cations of the Tree that bears the fruit of good works, that gathering was an outward sign, surely not devoid of an inward grace. Even those who looked on with half friendly, not to say with hostile eyes, must have felt that they had before them a power in the land while from friend to friend passed the strength that comes of mutual confidence and sympathy. The key-note of the Congress was well struck by the President in his opening address, when he explained its origin as due to the conception of bringing together Churchmen, lay and clerical, to discuss practical questions calculated to increase the Church's efficiency, and pointed out how the fears of those who had dreaded the meeting of men who held strongly by different views of doctrine had been falsified by the actual result of the move- ment. These characteristics, a spirit of Union, and an aim at practical efficiency, were kept steadily in view throughout the proceedings. Snch questions as the Ministry of the Christian Church and Home Re-union were discussed with free expression of opinion but without bitterness. It is interesting to find in a programme, stated to be less wide and dis- cursive than usual, in what numerous ways the duty of the Church to the nation comes forward and emphasizes the superior oppor- tunities of the National Church over any Sect. Beginning at the beginning with elementary education in our National Schools, and with the supplementing of secular with religious instruction, she further cares for the waifs and strays of our towns, and for the children in workhouses and factories. She takes up the subject, fast coming to the front, of continua- tion schools and intermediate education. She has a special care for the needs and thoughts of young men, for their literature, for their popular amusements. She acknowledges her duty with regard to the working men and the poor, deals with their better housing, their recreation, their means of thrift, and with that sweating system against which a parson, Charles Kingsley, was the first, years ago, to wage war. She takes thought how to cope with such populations as grow in our mining and manufacturing districts, with literally terrible speed. She goes down to the sea in ships to the sailors of England, and welcomes and cares for them in port. She considers how best to bear her message in the Greater Britain beyond the sea to Colonist or Native. And she recognizes how no man is sufficient for such vast work; how the Christian's relation- ship, both to the Church and to the world, depends upon his relationship to God, and how different departments of duty belong to different men. Those who attended the meet- ings of the Congress, or who have carefully followed its reports, will bear witness with what creditable good sense and practical ability, with hardly any exception, all these subjects were treated, with what a spirit of fair-dealing matters of controversy were dis- cussed and will have left their listening or reading convinced that the Church of England knows her duty to the Nation, and that she has the men to do it, and who mean to do it. It was natural that at Cardiff her duty to a part of the Nation, to the Welsh people, should be insisted on. An acknowledgment of this duty may be seen in the two visits which the Primate has paid to Wales—to St. David's College and now to Cardiftsince Archbishop Taic, ten years ago, came to the Church Congress held at Swansea. The progress of the Church in Wales during these years fully justifies the tone of the discus- sion of Welsh subjects last week, which was firm and determined, hopeful, and charitable. Some indignation, indeed, was un- avoidably expressed at such monstrous mis- statements as those effectually disproved by the Bishops of St. David's, Llandaff, and St. Asaph. Can a cause profit by such assertions as that in the Rbondda Valleys one Church has been built by a nobleman and lent to Protestants until there is a sufficient Romanist congregation to fill it; whereas, in those valleys eight new Churches holding 3,000 worshippers have been built in the last six years, and two more are now in course of building. Churchmen want in Wales the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth and with that they may take for their motto—"y gwir yn erbyn y byd." The Welsh clergy who attended the Congress in large numbers, from veteran dignitaries to the younger men who received the Bishop of Chester with such well-deserved enthusiasm must, indeed, have returned impressed and encouraged with what they had gone out to see. They must have felt the influence of their great English brethren and fellow- workers. But still more, it must have put heart into the faint-hearted, if such there were, to feel that they had among their own people men fit to stand by their English leaders. They will do well to imitate the zeal and energy of such men, of Mr Dillwyn Llewelyn and Mr W. de Winton, and of the Bishop and Dean of St. Asaph, with many more and to take to heart the words of an American clergyman who, in the conversazione which closed the Congress, remarked that when he looked upon the wonderful work that had been done in Cardiff during the last few years, and the number of Churches that had been built, he could not help thinking that the people were coming back from Dissent to the Church. So we trust and think; but I they are coming, not come; and we want work like that of the Bishop of Llandaff and I of the Cardiff clergy to bring them, not plat- form talk about the bees coming back to the old hive."
