(To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.")
Sion,—Lord Hugh Cecil's communications, criticizing Dean Inge's speech, suggest one of the outstanding problems of Christian Reunion—which is that when we speak of Angli- canism we are not quite sure of what we are speaking. There seem, to a Presbyterian like myself, to be far wider differences between clergy of the Church of England than there are between ministers of the severed Church of Scotland. When we speak of the Union of the Churches, or of Church Unity, it is essential that we know what each branch is, and where it is. In Scotland a process of discovery has been going on now for eleven years, with the result that the branches of Scottish Presbyterianism understand each other better than before. But we still feel we want to know what the Church of England is, where it stands, and who is entitled to speak
for it.—I am, Sir, &c., D. Bum NicoL, B.D. 31 Saxe-Coburg Place, Edinburgh.
