[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sin, — I readily take the

word of your correspondent, " Rural Dean," that he is personally very kind to Nonconformists, living and dead. I know of many others like him. But these sporadic kindnesses of individual clergymen in no way alters the fact that the Law has made a very great difference between the one Church it has established and the other Churches it merely and grudgingly tolerates. They, as the Bishop I quoted rightly said, are outside the pale—as yet.— I am, Sir, &c., J. MORGAN GIBBON.
