REUNION AND INTERCOMMUNION.

[TO TILE EDITOR OF TILE "EP EOTATOLL.^1 SIR,^" No such liberal invitation is ever given in Anglican churches" 1! (Spectator, May 8th). "C. S." is confusing want of with contradiction of experience. Pudet haec opprobria noble et dici potwisse of non potwiese refelli. Thank God, you may oft hear in the Anglican church of Giggleswick-in-Craven this (not liberal but natural) Christian invitation cordially given to communicant-members of other Christian churches, and I myself have been privileged to hear the same invitation given in other Anglican churches. It would be worse than a crime were it not so ; it would be a blunder. We Anglicans have many shortcomings and incon- sistencies, but, after all, our National Church is, soberly, the most tolerant as well as the most comprehensive of Christian Churches.--I am, Sir, &o., THEODORE P. BROCKLEHURST.
