LONDON, April 18, Received April 19, at 9.10 a.m.
Tho House of Bishops in tho National Assembly, with three dissentient votes, expressed general approval of the revised Prayer Book measure. Tho Bishop of Eipon said they would not have order and proper discipline within tho Church until they reformed the ecclesiastical courts.
Tho Archbishop of York also .complained that over a large tract of ecclesiastical matters the courts had ceased to function.
Tho Bishop of Norwich opposed approval on tho ground that ho could not believe that in a Holy Communion service an alternative had any place. Ho asked ! “Why not an alternative bishop in the dioeesof”
The Archbishop of Canterbury, summing up tho discussion, said the Church was living in a fools’ paradise if it thought that it could get out of difficulties by a system of ecclesiastical courts. —A. and N.fc. Cable.
