THE VACANT OFFICE OF DEAN.
TO TIIK EDITOR OF THE TRESS. Sir, —I am glad that the expression rf opinion in regard to the suggcMion tliiit{_* Bishop shall Be appointed Lean of theCatbdral, have been so unanimous. 1 havaheM. no other opinion in private. Kv*ry.ba» the proposal! (if it is a proposal) is contknsned. There is, in my judgment, only cm possible appointment—the present Acting Dean. It would be a breach oi _ith t. eiftertain any other suggestion. Canon Harper is held in high esteem by all classes, and is eminently fitted for the position. Wliai seems to mc so singular and uiirenjiontibl?, is, that the Church authorities shouUt require ft stray public opinion to ketp them in _ "straight" course. One naturally looks to tho Church to do always what is lainaud right, despite the devil and all his ai,ffit. Too often it has to be constrained to take the path of righteousness.—Yours, etc., ANGLICAN. April 15th, 1901.
