ANTI-RITUAL CRUSADE.
DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT,
Frets Association—By Telegraph—Copyright, LONDON, April 12. (Received April 13, at 0.25 a.m.)
A keen.debate took place in the House of Commons upon Mr Qedge's resolution declaring lawlessness of the clergy. Mr Balfour made a strong speech. He said that while he did not accuse the Ritualists of Romanising practices, he considered they were guilty of great disloyalty, and their •actions seriously wounded the church. ,He appealed to the moderates to disassociate themselves from the extremists, whose attitude impeded the increased spiritual freedom of the'church. The House by 200 votes to 14. demanded that preferment should be restricted to clergy, who are prepared to abide by the bishops, tho Prayer Book, and the courts.
