BACHELOR BISHOPS

“A BAD EXAMPLE.” United Press Assn —by Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, August 4 The Bishop of Norwich, Right Rev. Dr. B. Pollock, aged 65, announces his engagement to Miss Joan Ryder, aged 25. Miss Ryder has been acting as liis secretary for the last few months. Interest is added to the announcement by the wide publicity lately given to the fact that there are nine bachelor Bishops in England, namely , those of Norwich, London (Dr. A. F. Winnington-Ingram, who recently visited Australia), Southwark Truro, Ripon, .Worcester, Oxford, Salisbury and finally most significant of all. Dr. Cosmo G. Lang, Archbisliopclect of Canterbury. Winifred Graham, the novelist, entering on a public discussion concerning this fact., said that bachelorhood is a disease that is spreading. Tlie Church is setting a had example, and some protest must be made. Why are ‘hey bachelors ? If they think that marriage handicaps a career or intellectual development, why are the Bishops always the first to cry “hands off the home,” and talk of the sanctity of home life and advocate large families?' What foolish creatures these Bishops are?

A bachelor ha-* no one to point out his faults, and no one but a wife dare tell him that his sermons are overlong or that he is vain and pompous.
