The appointment of Mr. H. G. Wood as Hulsean Lecturer

at Cambridge is an event of some significance., There has, I believe, only been one Free Churchman, Dr. Anderson Scott, to fill the position since John Hulse's foundation was created a century and more ago, and though I am speaking without the book, I think I am right in assuming that no layman has ever delivered the lectures before. As head of the Quaker theological settlement at Woodbrooke, Mr. Wood has all the qualities called for except ordination, and that is evidently no longer a sine qua non.
