We desire to protest most strongly against the senseless and
vulgar attacks that have been made on the Rev. R. J. Campbell, of the City Temple, because when he attended the King's Court he was presented by the Bishop of London. Instead of finding his action strange, we rejoice to think that so distinguished a divine should not only have gone to Court—no true friend of the Monarchy can wish the notion to grow up that there is any sort of divorce between It and the non-Anglican Churches—but should also have paid his friend the Bishop of London the very pleasant compliment of asking him to present him. To have done this at a time when feeling is so much strained over the education question shows that Mr. Campbell, though he stands absolutely firm in his own view, has the wisdom to see that personal bitter- ness and violence can never be the duty of a Christian clergy- man. Mr. Campbell may feel sure that he will have the support of what is best in the nation, whether in Noncon- formity or in the Church, in the attacks made against him for an act in every way worthy of him. We cannot help feeling that the Daisy News will realise that it owes him an apology for its criticism of his conduct in this matter,. .
