A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The growing urgency of the question of religious unity after the war, and the emphasis given to it by the publication of the Interim Reports of the English branch of the Committee on Faith and Order, and the formation of a Joint Committee to promote closer relations between the Church of England and Methodism, have led me to decide on immediate publication, and to omit certain chapters which would have diverted attention from my main subject the promotion of Christian unity. I have left out, for the same reason, the record of my political activities as Chairman of the New Reform Club, 1900-1905, and as a member of many other political organisations. I have also omitted reference to my parliamentary contest in 1910 and to certain incidents concerning international politics that preceded and followed it. These matters are reserved for a later volume. The Missionary Controversy and its results had such a direct bearing upon my personal relation to the Church of England, and my editorship of the Review of the Churches, and presidency of the Grindelwald Conferences which grew out of the Review, that the whole record would have been unintelligible if I had not dealt with it. A volume, of which ten thousand copies were issued by the officials of the Wesleyan Missionary Society, was used in a most damaging way by the defence in a libel action which I felt obliged to bring during this present war.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
