NEW PRAYER BOOK
A BISHOP’S OBJECTIONS.
DISCORD IN THE CHURCH. REALITIES MUST BE FACED. (AUSTRALIAN PRESS ASSOCIATIONUNITED SERVICE.) Received 11.5 a.m. to-day. LONDON, June 7. Bishop Barnes reiterates 'his objections to the Prayer Book proposals as further disuniting the Church. He advocates, in the event of the House of Commons rejecting the proposals, that mon-conteotious revisions ;bc made. He partly agrees with the Archbishop of Canterbury’s plea, but though moved by the oatlios of its words, declares that younger men must face the realities, especially because the Church's present plight is due te the failure of the leaders in the immediate past to do so. If the present proposals pass, he says, the Church will steadily lose its evangelical liberal elements, possible ending in church disendownrent.
The Archbishop ef Canterbury, presiding at the Canterbury Diocesan Conference, hinted at his early retirement. Ho said that the seventh Lambeth Conference in 1930 would not be under his chairmanship.
