PUBLIC MORALS.—CHANGE OF TITLE.
[To THE EDITOR Of THE "Srscrsioa."] Sin,—May we presume upon the sympathy which you have shown towards the National Social Purity Crusade to announce that this organisation will in future be known as the National Council of Public Morals—a title which is more in keepinc, with the com- prehensive educational character of the work, and. which we hope will further commend it to the Churches, schools, and Press of the whole country—and that its offices, through the generosity of Sir W. P. Hartley, will be at Holborn Hall, W.C. ?
In making this announcement, permit us to add that his Majesty, in kindly accepting a copy of " The Nation's Morals," being the report of our Public Morals Conference held at Westminster last July, graciously says that he fully shares the sympathetic senti- ments of his late Majesty King Edward VII. towards the Crusade, and that there is no one more anxious than himself to see the state of things (which we deal with) changed for the better.
May we further add that, with his Majesty's knowledge, his message to the Convocation of York—" The foundations of national glory are set in the homes of the people. They will only remain unshaken while the family life of our nation is strong, simple, and pure "—will be the motto of the National Council of Public Morals ? His words express in most felicitous terms the object of this movement, of which the Lord Bishop of Durham is president for 1911. Subscriptions may be sent to the Archdeacon of London, The Chapter House, St. Paul's Cathedral, E.C.—We are, Sir, &c.,
Wit. Spiciara, Chairman.
