BISHOP'S ADDRESS.
REBUKE NOT INTENDED. LONDON, Doc. 2. A strong denial that liis references to the King were in the least intended as a rebuke was made by the Bishop of Bradford after reading newspaper comments. He said: “Only one phrase in the whole of what I said could be considered as criticism of the King. That was when I said ‘some of us wish he gave more positive signs of his awareness.’ What I referred to was the fact that to all outward appearance the King seems to live entirely indifferent to public practice and religion. He may have a private religion of his own—that I know nothing about; but he does not show the world ho has got one, and I think that is a pity. With regard to these rumours circulating about him, I may as well say my address was written six weeks before I first heard anything of them. I studiously took care to say nothing regarding the King’s private life, because I know nothing about it.”
