(To THE EDITOR Or THE " SPECTAT011."3 S1R,—The article in
your issue of December 22nd entitled " The Meaning of the Hereford Controversy " seems to have been written under two misapprehensions. May I correct them? In the first place, it appears to identify the " Life and Liberty " movement with one of the existing parties in the Church. But a glance at the list of the Council will suffice to show that at embraces representatives of all schools of thought within the Church, and that no single influence preponderates. Secondly, the writer suspects the movement of having ranged itself with those who are protesting against the appointment of Dr. Henson. On this subject the views of individual members would prclhably be divided. But to the Council collectively the matter is of no concern. For the movement has only one aim, namely, to combine all Englishmen of goodwill in the endeavour to secure for the Church of England such liberty as will enable it to live more abundantly in the effective service of the nation and of God. On all points not directly connected with this aim the movement as such has no views at all.—I am, Sir, &c., A. A. DAVID. Rugby.
