THE SUFFRAGE DEBATE AT THE CHURCH CONGRESS.

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SrEcrATort."3

Stu,—In your issue of October 4th you remark that at this debate "the anti-Suffrage side seems to have been somewhat inadequately presented." It should be known that, owing to

a mistake, the Bishop closed this meeting nearly twenty minutes before the prescribed time, having before him the cards of able speakers, who were thus excluded from the opportunity of presenting their case. Miss Gladys Pott, hon. sec. of the N.L.O.W.S., was one.—I am, Sir, &c.,
