POINTS FROM LETTERS

AN INQUIRY

Can a society supported by public subscription suddenly alter its constitution and object, without consultation with those who have contributed to its funds ? If so, is there any power to prevent such action ?—AN INQUIRER.

THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND The Rev. Dr. Archibald Fleming, in his article in the Spectator of May 28th, says : "The King is head of the Church of England." Will he kindly give his authority for this statement ?—(Rev.) H. J. D. LATHAM, The Old Rectory, Offord Cluny, Huntingdon.

HUMANE TRAPPING.

It is now three years since I started a campaign for the purpose of outlawing the steel-toothed trap, which tortures but does not kill ; and also to tell people which furs are obtained with a minimum of cruelty. The crusade has become world-wide, but I am sorry to have to say that funds have now unfortunately fallen so low that, unless further financial assistance is forthcoming, it will be impossible for me to continue this work any longer.—CHARLES VAN DER. BPI. (Major), Founder of the Fur Crusade, Wappenham House. Towcester, Northants.
