[It is not surprising to find the Bishop of Hereford votihg in favour of disestablishment in Wales, as: he has consistently supported the Government as regards almost all the principal policy proposals, including the education question. Tho Bishop of Birmingham,' however, lias adopted a more independent attitude, and he opposed the recent' Education Bills; but it is well known that in Dr. Gore's opinion there are worse things than disestablishment, and he would welcome / disestablishment' rather 1 than admitthe right of Parliament and secular Courts to deoide questions of Church dootrino and Referring to a speech last year by Mr. C.F. G.
