The Author of this book has asked me to introduce it by a few words. But his name and his subject give quite sufficient introduction. All Churchmen (and many others) who care to see the Church discharge her part on behalf of the community towards its broken and suffering members hold Mr Carlile's name in honour. And he writes here upon matters about which we wish to hear. We speak of our "Problem of the Unemployed." It is not ours alone. What have other nations to teach us about it? Here is a side of international intercourse and exchange which is entirely wholesome and beneficent.
