The League of Nations : the Opportunity of the Church.

By the Bishop of Oxford. (Hodder and Stoughton. la. net.)— Dr. Gore sees in the League of Nations not only a means of averting future ware, but also en opportunity of giving "new life to the idea of a catholic supernational fellowship " which proved abortive both in the Roman Empire and in the hftddle Ages. "If we cannot, as I feel sure we cannot under present circumstances, have an ecumenical Christian Conference, such as the Archbishop of LTpsala proposed, let us have co- ordinated action in all Christian countries, by all portions of Christendom, on behalf of the League of Nations."
