ELDERS AND BETTERS SIR,—May an unrepentant Victorian express his appreciation

of Mr. David Roles article on "Elders and Betters" in your issue of August 4th? One is tempted to say, "Is David also among the prophets? " though I hope no one will trouble to find out that this was originally said of Saul. Mr. Rolt seems to me to talk excellent sense, and his final paragraph about a Superhuman Co-ordinator might have been written by the Archbishop of Canterbury himself, among many other things, an eminent Victorian.—Yours truly, H. C. ROBINS, Dean of Salisbury.

The Deanery, Salisbury.
