The following is a copy of a resolution proposed by
the Arch- deacon of Durham, and carried nem. con. by the Lower House of Convocation of York, on Thursday, February 25th. 1886 :— "That this House is of opinion that, in the present needs of the Church of England, it is much to be desired that a National Synod, uniting from time to time the two Provincial Synods of Canterbury and York, should be convened ; and begs humbly to thank his Grace the President for his address on this question, and with due submission requests that his Grace will take such action, or join with the President of the Convocation of Canter- bury in taking such action, as may to him or to them seem good, in order to obtain the necessary authority from the Crown to convene the said National Synod." We do not, however, find that his Grace the President has acquiesced in the wisdom of this advice.
