DIFFERENT REFORM REEDED,
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright
LONDON, March 28. Bishop Barnes, preaching at Birmingham,’said: “Any hope that the new Prayer Book will bring peace and order into the church seems to mo to bo illusory. In another thirty years tho tendency to make Holy Communion the centre and circumstance of Christianity will lie as incomprehensible, to tho largo majority of churchmen ns the doctrine of the verbal inspiration of Genesis is to most of us to-day. The position will grow worse if the new Prayer Book is authorised, as it will legalise a_ number of Catholic developments which the evangelicals regard as unsound. What is needed is a reform of the church courts by which an incumbent who breaks his vows can after trial be deprived of his benefice without being sent to prison.”
