ABSTRACT A GENERAL meeting at Caxton Hall, Westminster, on July 18, concluded the proceedings of the World Congress of Faiths, which had been in session in London since July 3. On a broad

view of the numerous contributions to discussion of world fellowship made by the delegates from the various faiths, it is evident that there is in each a body of opinion which is prepared to

build upon the foundation of a common ethical element in an effort to co-operate in the solution of problems of a wider general application in present-day conditions. A spirit of good will

and general agreement was perhaps more marked than any movement towards specific application at the moment; but it is, in any event, a distinct gain that an opportunity has been afforded a

mixed assemblage to appreciate at first hand the distinctive outlook on, and approach to, the problems of the organization of life under different creeds and in various environments. Neither

pious enthusiasm, however, nor even profound conviction, such as usually finds expression on these occasions, necessarily leads to tangible results; and to keep alive and give effect to the

spirit of which the Congress has been a manifestation demands some channel through which it may be directed in order to avoid waste of energy. This aspect, happily, has not been overlooked

in the present instance; and, at the last general meeting, the delegates decided to institute machinery to continue the work of spreading world fellowship through religion. It was agreed

that all who presented papers, acted as chairmen, or led discussion, should form a council, and that a continuation committee should be appointed. The members then elected included Sir

Francis Younghusband, Sir Herbert Samuel, Sir Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Mr. H. N. Spalding and Sir Abdul Qadir, with Mr. A. Jackman as secretary. Access through your institution Buy or
