THE PARISH

Its Life, Its Organization, Its Responsibility and Its Divine Contacts

A Handbook for the Clergy and Laity, by the Rev. WILLIAM A. R. GOODWIN, D.D., rector of St. Paul's Church, Rochester, N. Y. With Introduction by the Rt. Rev. Chas. H. Brent, D.D., Bishop of Western New York. Cloth, 150 pages. Price, $1.50.

This is an exceedingly practical book relating to the management of a Parish and the work of a Parish Priest. "No rector of a parish," says Bishop Brent, "can fail to get benefit from a close study of these pages." "We must recognize," he continues, "that organization well carried out is not a burden, but a relief. It is a labor-saving device. This, however, does not mean that it is a means by which a lazy rector can shift personal responsibility from himself to a machine." "It is intended to aid men who are already bent on using their vitality up to the hilt, to use it effectively and economically."

Contents: The Church as a Living Organism; The Organization of a Parish; The Teaching Mission of the Church; Church Teaching and the Reconstruction Problem; The Pastor and His People; Parish Harmony Notes; Worship and Service.

E know that our readers will appreciate Father Underhill's motive in writing for the AMERICAN CHURCH MONTHLY, namely, to bring Anglo-Catholics in Great Britain into closer rapport with their brethren in America. We hope that this may prove to be only the first of a series of contributions from his pen. No man is better qualified than he to speak for Anglo-Catholics in England, as he has been in the forefront of the encouraging movement that has already resulted in such notable demonstrations as the Anglo-Catholic Congress in London and the Anglo-Catholic Priests' Convention in Oxford. This new movement is a worthy successor of the Oxford Movement. We ought all to be in fullest sympathy with

this new movement, even though we may be several years behind it in our American developments.

Not only is it essential that there should be unity of sentiment and action between Anglo-Catholics in Great Britain and America, but also that Anglo-Catholics in the United States should become more united in heart and mind. What is it that keeps us apart? Often no doubt there are real and conscientious differences of opinion as regards the policy, the speed, and the direction of the movement. There should be frequent conferences in which these differences of opinion could be threshed out. We fear, though, that our lack of unity is more often due to personal spites and jealousies over very trivial matters. One man feels that he has not received sufficient attention, another that he has not been consulted, another that the position of leadership which he deserves has not been accorded him, another that some unjust charge has been made against him. Surely we all ought to have religion enough to rise above such petty animosities, if only for the good of the cause. As Father Underhill says, "jealousies and divisions are unchristian-they are also very bad policy."

Is it too much to ask that every priest who has the Anglo-Catholic movement at heart shall offer a mass once a month for greater unity among Anglo-Catholics here and abroad-for greater charity and sympathy and cooperation? May we also ask the laity to attend one mass a month with that intention? We little realize how much can be wrought by pleading the all-prevailing Sacrifice.

Playing the Game

IN carrying on the fight for wider recognition and appreciation of our Catholic heritage, we are sometimes in danger of forgetting our primary obligations as mem
