THE WAY TO FIGHT SACERDOTALISM.
___[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] '
SIR,—Ill your issue of March 18th you were good enough to insert a letter of mine, in which I maintained the apparently paradoxical fact that_Broad Chnrchism is not defunct -but lively ; and more than that, that it is already organised and in working order, and that it only needs to make this state of things more widely known to bring together units without number who have so far "wasted their strength in Isolation." I asserted so much, but offered no proof, because -frail the nature of the case my assertion depended to some extent on general impressions, and on my personal conviction. Since then, however, incidents have occurred which enable me to make good all I have said as to the abundance of scattered Broad Church material, and the need of pulling it together in view of the present crisis. It was fortunate that I happened to give the address of the offices of the Churchmen's _Union as 18 Temple House, Temple Avenue, E.C., because since then I have been informed by the Secretary of that body that he has been simply inundated with inquiries as to the existence of the Union and as to its objects, and referring for their in- formation to my previous letter. The numbers are .now rapidly increasing. You, Sir, will, I am sure, rejoice to have been instrumental in thus helping the movement onwards, but the point I seek to establish at present-is that the-Broad Church is at this moment individually active enough, but suffers woefully from want of concentration. It is to supply such a want that the Churchmen's Union exists.—I am, 15 Windsor Road, Denmark Hill, SE., April 10th.
