MR. VOYSEY AND THE UNITARIANS.
[To THE EDITOR Or THE " EPECTITOB."] SIR,—I do not know whether Mr. E. A. Voysey gave his father instructions to speak for him in the letter which appeared in the Spectator of February 6th. I have only to say that Mr. E. A. Voysey, at his own request, and of his own free will, signed a form of application for recognition as a Unitarian minister in the following terms :—" I hereby make formal application to the Advisory Committee, charged with inquiring into credentials and references, for recog- nition as a Unitarian, or Free Christian, Minister, and, if approved, I wish my name to appear in the Essex Hall Year Book." Those members of the Advisory Committee who agreed to commend him took him at his word, and objected to any questions being asked respecting his theological belief. Mr. Charles Voysey did his best to obtain a pulpit among the Unitarians for his son. Why he should have taken this trouble, if he was so "strongly opposed" to them, it is difficult to perceive.—I am, Sir, &c., W. COPELAND BOWIE.
Essex Hall, Strand, February 9th.
[We think it right to publish this communication, but cannot pursue the subject further.—ED. Spectator.]
