In a letter to Wednesday's Times Dr. Guinness Rogers speaks
of the Bishop's letter as a welcome contribution to the cause of peace and Christianity, and as the work of a sane and broad-minded Christian statesman. Dr. Guinness Rogers admits that the proposed settlement does not fulfil his ideal, but "we have," he says, "to work a great national institution, and in doing it we have to avoid everything that seems like unfairness to any class of the community." We do not feel that at the present moment we shall be doing any good by making comments of our own. All we will do is to express the conviction that what is needed is reciprocal goodwill, the avoidance'of a suspicious attitude of mind, and willingness to recognise that sacrifices must be made by both sides in order to secure the great essential,—vii.; the recognition that it is the duty of the State to secure Christian teaching as part of the daily work and life of all our elementary schools.
