surrender is made the emotionalist will not be the power in the world
which he ought to be. His house, too, must be founded upon a rock.

Let us not be afraid of examining our faith, bringing our minds as well
as our hearts and our souls to the place of judgment.

I will give here a few quotations from the utterances of Canon Barnes
which show his position with sufficient clearness.

We all seek for truth. But, whereas to some truth seems a tide
destined to rise and sweep destructively across lands where Jesus
reigned as the Son of God, to me it is the power which will set
free new streams to irrigate His Kingdom.

As is obvious to everyone, all the Churches realise, though some do

terms of current thought.

We have seen the urgent need of a fuller knowledge of the structure
of the human mind if we would explain how Jesus was related to God

Reason and intuition combine to justify the belief that our Lord
had a right understanding of what man can become.

We say that man is not only a part of the evolutionary proc
