- "The world-wide interest aroused by the various resolutions and reports of the Lambeth Conference on 1920 has prompted the Editorial Board to reprint for church people in Canada these portions which particularly refer to the ask [sic i.e. task] of the church in Social Service. The representatives of the Canadian Episcopate serving on the committee drawing up this report were the Bishops of Huron [David Williams], Toronto [James Fielding Sweeny], Ontario [Edward John Bidwell], and Fredericton [John Andrew Richardson]". -- p. 3.

- "We have suggested various lines of action which, we feel assured, it is our duty to follow, if we are to arrive at that better social and industrial order which we believe to be in accordance with God's will.
