CRITICISM AND FAITH

SIR,—I agree with Canon Smyth that the correspondence columns of The Spectator (like the pulpit of the University Church) are not the appropriate place in which to discuss the composition of the Divinity Faculty in Cambridge. It is a pity that he did not realise this before choosing them for the launching of an unprovoked attack. I can only say that to describe as monochrome a Faculty which includes among its most honoured members Presbyterian, Congregationalist, Baptist and Methodist theologians is a serious misuse of language.—Yours faithfully,
