"A dally paper,* chronicling th» King's doings in Scotland, informs us," says the Church Times, "that on a recent Sunday, His Majesty attended a service'which was, of course, In accordance with the Presbyterian order, His. Majesty being a Presbyterian when in Scotland.' His Majesty is, of coune, no such thing, any more than he is a Roman Catholic when in Paris. "All that cart accurately be said is that His Majesty, though a member of the English Church, does not in Scotland attend the worship of the" Scottish Church, with which the English k in full communion, but Worships with the Presl-yteriiHis, following the unfortunate precedent of his immediate p'redeces«*rs.
