NEW PRAYER BOOK.
HOME SECRETARY’S HINT TO BISHOPS '
BY CABLE-PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. LONDON, May 11. The Bishop of London returned from Australia and New Zealand to meet a violent attack on the part of Sir W. J’oynson-Hicks. Speaking at the National Church League, the Home Secretary accused the Bishop of filling the diocese of London with men disloyal to their doctrines. Cries rose: “Throw him out of the Church. That is the best thing to do with him. ’ ’
Sir, W. Joynson-Hicks: No! 1 don’t want hard words against His Lordship, but I wa,nt the bishops to realise that we have our rights as they theirs. ’ ’
Churchmen, he said, had been asked to accept the new Prayer Book as a compromise for the sake of peace, buf the bishops should give their assurance that the present revision is final. Thus far no assurance had been forthcoming. “Let the bishops say the Reformation was the work of God in the Church, and we will help them to keep peace. ' ’
