We need an awakening of rsonal rellglon to give up firm hold life, clear guidance, true stand- ards, definite convictions of right and wrong, to give us the true purpot and satisfaction and strength in life that we should have. ‘This all comes to us through the stirring of religion in our souls, the realization of ‘our relationship to Jesus Christ, Never was the world more in need of Jesus Christ and of His divine light and guidance than it is now. And let us remember that He 1is able to be our light and help, able to bless and guide and be with us only. because He ir God as truly as He is man. Never in the whole history of the Church did the great words of our creed mean more to us than they do today: “God is God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God.” 1 am receiving a great many very touching letters from earmest Chris- tian- people of al churches, who are perplexed and troubled by certain re- rent events and I do not wonder that they are perplexed and troubled. To reassure the writers of these letters, and others who feel as they do, I want to say with all possible plainess, at this representative gathering of our Diocese, that i any Minister of this Church, Bishop, Priest or Deacon, should deny the Deity of owr Lord Jesus Christ and express this denial in words clear, courageous and up- ambigious, such as the Church can deal with, no one teed have the least fear that the Church will shrink from meeting this issue, or that she will fail to take definite action, and the whole body o fthe clergy and people of this Church will approve and sup- port such action, But the point to be kept clearly in mind is that the Church cannot take formal action against denial of her faith unless the denial is expressed in words that are clear and unevasive and are acknowledged by their author We want all men to know that we believe in the T.ord Jesus Christ with the fullest and freest use of our minds as well as of our hearts. We want all men to know that like St. Paul we are “not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ” and that we accept its whole message. We want the whole world to know that we believe in the Chris- tian religion as a supernatural reve- lation from God, thaty we believe in “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday and today and forever, and that amid all the changes,and speculations and passing opinions of men, this Church will stand to bear her witness to the truth and power of the Gospel in the present and the future as she has in all her past. GOVERNOR'S FUEL BILL 15 ADOPTED (Continued From First Page) calendar. The governor's nomination of How- ard ,W.

Lyford, vice president of the Chi- cago and Eastern Illinois railroad in an address before the joint New Eng- land railroad committee at the state library today. The remedy for this, according to Mr. Lyford, is the or- ganized collection and delivery by a single company of the freight carried by all the railroads entering a city. Mr." Lyford presented figures ;ahr-.'v- ing that incoming freight on the average, remains in a station for three days before it is delivered. During this time, he said, it is tak- ing up valuable storage space either in the station or on the tracks and requiring the labBor of a considerable force of men. Mr. Lyford would, by immediate- and organized delivery, eliminate as much of this loss as pos- sible. In New England, he said, this loss is perhaps even larger than else- where. *“This deplorable condition,” Mr. Lyford declared, “is largely due to the present competitive way of managing railroads. He declared, however, that he did not think the New England termjnal problem could be solved until the railroad problems of the country as a whole are settled.
