WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT. [To THE EDITOR OE THE "SPECTATOR. "]

Sra,—Allow me to call the attention of your readers to the admirable manner in which " the wise, witty, and quaint Thomas Fuller" sums up spoliations like that about to be perpetrated against the Welsh Church. He says :—

" If the sentence of condemnation was pronounced on those who saw Christ naked and would not clothe Him, how heavy a doom would fall on such who found Christ clothed and stript Him, in His poor members, of endowments given to their maintenance ! "—
