CHURCH OF ENGLAND.
NO DANGER OF SECESSION. CHRISTCHURCH, July 5. “I hope ,none of you has been disturbed by the vague rumour of possible secession from the church at Home,” writes Bishop West-Watson in the Church News. • “The fact is,” he adds, “that ramps of this kind seem to be intended to influence the bishops in session in their decisions on knotty points. They are apt to cancel each other. “My own impression is that the Church Assembly, which brings the leaders of the various paities into touch with one another, has bound the church in England more closely together than ever, and that there is a great and often silent mass of church folk who are honestly willing and anxious to allow each other reasonable liberty in such matters as are under discussion.”
