[To THN EDITOR OF THI " SPECTATOR. * 1
Sru,—The circular printed below speaks for itself. I venture to allege the opinion that the majority of the laity in the Church of England most warmly approve the action of the Bishop of Hereford.
In the face of those who as conscientiously hold ihe contrary opinion many of us not only think Dr. Percival's motive is good, but that his method is sound, and that the outcome will be healing.—I am, Sir, &c.,
THEODORE P. BROCKLEHURST. The Well House, Giggleswick-in-Craven, Yorkshire.
"There are diversities of ministrations but the same Lord."
We, the undersigned, clerical and lay ministers of the Church in Giggleswick-in-Craven, desirous of maintaining the comprehen- sive and national character of the Church of England, cordially invite all Christian communicants to a celebration of The Holy Communion in a common thanksgiving for the solemn crowning of our Gracious King and Governor and as a united brotherly com- munion of the Charity of our ascended Lord and Master.
Those who acknowledge Jesus the Christ as the Supreme Authority and Guide, and enter more and more into His all- revealing Mind, are making progress toward the harmonizing truths He represents. It is not that one Branch of The Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, which is the blessed company of all faithful people, is making conquest of the others but Jesus the Christ is making conquest of us all.
