DEIFICATION AND CLARIFICATION SIR,—I am sorry to be a bore,

but I 011/5 help your Mr. Pharos. He writes: `To the Abbess, the deiticat1 of the Mother of God was a heresy. The I things are going, it looks as if the heresy soon be dogma.' sj

If ever, in any hazy mind, the unique P°. tion of Our Lady led to a confusion betwe: creature and creator, the definition of Immaculate Conception now gives plete and unalterable clarification.—Y°' faithfully, EVELYN v, ,,,, PS.—Why do you let the poor booby such nonsense?

Piers Court, Stinchcoinbe, Near Dursley, 616. [This letter is referred to in 'A Spectsiof Notebook.'—Editor, Spectator.]
