LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Srn,—I submit that what is required at the present time is a. declaration from the High Church clergy (1) That they will interpret the Ornaments Rubric to refer to Edward's first Book, and accept the Ornaments and Ritual of that Book as the possible legal maximum until such time as the meaning of the Rubric is finally deter- mined.

(2) That they will obey the Lambeth Judgment in the Lincoln Case.

(3) That they will use only such additional services in church, whether for the general congregation or for guild or communicants meetings, as shall have been approved of by the Bishop of the diocese.

(4) That they will send to the Bishop of the diocese copies of the books of devotion they recommend to candidates for- confirmation and communicants.

S. John Baptist's Vicarage, Nottingham, June 21st.
