We are far from confident that Dr. Temple is making

a change in the world which will be for his own happiness, though we hope it may be for England's. The Pall Mall Gazette of yesterday prints the following evidently authentic and sincere letter of a Rugby schoolboy's :—" My dear Papa,-1 suppose you have heard the news about Dr. Temple. It has been received just as if he had died. Three of the masters cried when they told their forme of it, and our master observed that we might ever be proud of saying that we have been under Dr. Temple. I shall not care a bit for the school with a new master, no more will any one. I feel sure that there was not anybody in the school who ever disliked him. We cannot ever possibly have another anything approaching to him. I would not mind only having 10s. a term all the time I'm here if he would come back." Now, the diocese of Exeter, however devoted it may prove in time to Dr. Temple, will never say as much as this. They will never vow that they " won't care a bit " for the diocese after Dr. Temple's translation to the Primacy.
