DEIFICATION AND CLARIFICATION

SIR,—The Spectator was, and I hope still is, the favourite reading of clergymen of the Church of England. Could they not organise a little mission to your contributors and corre- spondents, beginning modestly by teaching Mr. John Martin the Athanasian Creed? It is their responsibility not mine. I merely tried to help poor Pharos when he blundered into criticism of my Church.—Yours faithfully,
