VESTMENTS MEASURE

SIR,—Permit a former member of the Church Assembly to protest against the article by Mr. David Watt on the above matter.

The facts arc clear. The Measure if passed will legalise the Mass Vestments in the Church of England for the first time since the Reformation. Those who regard this as wrong and retrogressive arc surely entitled to oppose the proposal without being the subject of cheap sarcasm from Mr. Watt.
