As to the, controversy being mischievous, Lord Hugh asserts that

instead it has done good in making men understand the real facts of the case,—viz., that Churchmen regard " Cowper- Templeism " with an ever-increasing hostility. "And wisely so, for undenominational education is a dangerous and deadly error, the very antithesis of Churcbmanship." Churchmen, he ends, "will never assent to any settlement which imposes Cowper-Temple teaching on children whose parents would prefer that they should learn the faith of the Church." In other words, Lord Hugh declares that the faith of the Church and simple Bible undenominational teaching are directly opposed. As we have pointed out elsewhere, it would be difficult to exaggerate the danger to the Church that must arise from insistence on this view. Once persuade the people of England that simple Bible Christianity and the Church of England are in opposition, and her days are numbered.
