CHRISTIAN SOCIAL RECONSTRUCTION. [To THE EDITOR or THE " SPELTITOR."]
Sin,—The Interdenominational Conference of Social .Serviee Unions, including representatives of ten of the most important religious bodies in the country, have, as the result of long and careful deliberation, drawn up a statement of the principle@ which Should underlie Christian Social Reconstruction and of some of the measures by which it may be promoted. It need scarcely be said that this document is careful to avoid matters of religious oontroverey. Without necessarily endorsing every detail of this statement or regarding It as final, we commend it as furnishing at least a useful basis for discussion. We trust that members of the various religious bodies will co- operate locally and organize meetings for the study and dis- cussion of the document.
Copies of the statement (Christian Social Reconstruction, price lid. oath, le. 2d. a douse), and further particulars, may be bed from the Secretory to the Conference, Miss Lucy Gardner, 1)2 St. George's Square, London, S.W. 1.—We are, Sir, do.,
