REVISED PRAYER BOOK.

STATEMENT BY BISHOP

BARNES,

Received January 20, 2.5 p.m. LONDON Jan. 19. “Archbishop Cranmer in the sixteenth century, also Bishop Latimer, the predecessor of the modern Bishops of Birmingham, were burned, at the stake because they dehied Papal supremacy and the doctrine of transubstanteation,” said Bishop Barnes of Birmingham in an interview._ “It now appears that Viscount Halifax and Bishop Gore and their firends imagine that English churchmen aro prepared to accept the Papal primacy and trailsubstantiation. They are mistaken in regard to transiihstantiation as a superstition. We aro not prepared to admit the Roman Church to our communion until the Vatican reforms more than theology.”—Australian Press Association and Sun cable.
