WHAT NOT TO PRINT
[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] SIR,—On opening the current number of The Spectator, I am often apprehensive that still another aspect of Church doctrine is under discussion ; such as Choral Eucharist versus Roman Mass, &c. I send this journal to friends in Northern Ireland—staunch Protestants, who are weary of disputes over religious beliefs and observances, in a country where two opposing Churches divide the people.
For those who enjoy these arguments, there are many papers devoted exclusively to Church matters, where they would have ample scope for controversial correspondence.— Yours faithfully, F. M. MAXWELL. 3 Cromwell House, Hove 4.
[There are also papers devoted exclusively to economics or to agriculture, but that is not a reason for avoiding mention of such subjects in our columns. The Spectator would be narrowing its scope unjustifiably if it declined discussion of "Church matters," in which a large proportion of its readers are interested.—En. The Spectator.]
