THE PRAYER BOOK
NECESSARY MODIFICATIONS. BISHOP OF MANCHESTER’S VIEWS. (Fre»» Association—By Telegraph— Copyright. , LONDON, January 24. (Received Jan. 24, at 9 p.m.) The Bishop of Manchester, in a statement in regard to the Prater Book, says that he is unable to agree vith either complete defiance of the State in the interest of Church autonomy or an immediate acceptance of the vote in the House of Commons. Explanatory modifications will clear away many objections, but it W' '■! I be a fatal mistake to accompany 11: ■ proposals by measures for coercive discipline. The first ..ecessity is to provide a law for public worship which really corresponds with the spiritual life of the Church to-day, so that there may be firm ground when checking what is illegal. If the bishops had more extensive alterations it . ould have meant acquiescence in the right o. the State to determine the Church s form of worship.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
