THE most implacable foe of Communism in Britain today was the Labour Party, Dr. Sidney Berry noted British Congregational minister and preacher said at Wesley Pleasant Sunday Afternoon yesterday.
He was illustrating his statement that Britain's present social revolution was a middle-of-the-road step between two extremes - a very gradual and cautious revolution.
Not only did the Labour Party there eliminate quietly and in a most gentlemanly way, its own hot-headed adherents, but the trade unions were about the most conservative institutions in the land, he said.
Britain was keeping her feet on the road of sanity and good sense in a world that had largely gone mad, said Dr. Berry.
She was the only rationed country in Europe, taking it all perhaps too mildly.
In the stress of the war people said she was nearly down and out. Not only did she not go down, but was the only one who held others up.
What Britain, with other countries, needed today was a spiritual renewal to shatter shams and give a new vision of God which would unmask the lies that vexed the earth. Grasp and greed must give way to Christ's call to service, he said.
