[We are delighted to note that • Mr. George Macmillan's appeal has met with so rapid and so wide a response. We trust that if the organisation of Noncotiformist lay opinion also takes place, as is suggested in Mr. Ford ham's letter, printed on the following page, the two bodies of laymen will be able to co-operate. Such co-operation might be fraught with results of great moment.—ED. Spectator.]
