THE ANGLICAN CHURCH.

United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. London, Feb 11 The Lower House of Convocation rejected a suggestion to allow women to speak and pray in- consecrated buildings at non-Liturgical services. It was resolved, in view of St. Paul’s statement on“ the subject, and the church’s uniform practice in the past, that it was undesirable to grant permission. The Convocation formally farewelled the Welsh Bishops. The Primate alluded to changes in the Convocation due to recent legislation operating a few months hence. He said it was a great event in the Church’s history, hut they must face the fact that religions life in England was not what it was in the Tudor and Stuart days. Old solutions would not work, yet the dangers to the national church under the new system could not be ignored.
