PORTRAIT OF THE WEEK

SIR,—No doubt you will have discovered by this time that your sneer at the Church of Scotland in 'Portrait of the Week' was unjustified, but what disturbs me is the ignorance which makes such a mistake possible. Would an educated Scotsman have made a similar mistake about the National Church in England? He would not. It seems that in the south there is a certain image of the Chuich of Scotland and the news must be distorted to conform to it. I am not a Scottish Nationalist but by St. Andrew you do your best for the cause!
