The Church has borne a great part in this socialwarfare. It has inspired all movements of socialamelioration. There is a tendency in some of theseagencies to adopt an attitude of lukewarmness andeven of hostility towards the Church, forgettingthe rock from which they were hewn.

No one has spoken on this question with such in-timate knowledge, such clear intelligence and com-passion, as Dr. Chalmers, and it is with the hope thathis words will not be without an audience at thiscritical time that these pages are printed.
