NONCONFORMISTS AND THE COMMUNION. (To Tine EDITOR OF THR "SPECTATOR:1
Sin.,—Is not the forlorn condition of Nonconformists in foreign countries the reason for "Continental Chaplain's" conduct ? It was because they had no minister of their own that he invited them to the Holy Communion on the Greater Festivals. Unless you are prepared to say that the Noncon- formists in Hereford are in a similar condition you cannot compare the conduct of the bishop and the chaplain. The motive at work is not the same.—I am, Sir, &a, [" You've ample provision of your own ; go and make use of it ; we only share our special store with others when actual destitution can be proved." Is it really asserted that this should be the attitude of a Christian Church which claims to be, and isinational towards men who, since they are allowed the Communion in foreign parts, ane admittedly not pagans or heretics ?--ED. Spectator.]
