THE NEW PRAYER BOOK
Sir, — In Tuesday’s issue of your wellcirculated paper there appears a report of proceedings of the Anglican Synod (at Hamilton) for Waikato Diocese. Inter-alia, Dr. Cherrington is reported as saying: “Obligatory Ritual.” “Those who have carefully studied the Ornaments Rubric can give no other satisfactory explanation than that, as far as the law of the church goes, as represented by the version of 1662, vestments, altar lights, incense and the like are not only permissible, but obligatory.” In the Book of the prophet Isaiah, first chapter, 13th verse, we find this command: “Bring no more vain oblations, incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.” Will Dr. Cherrington please explain which command the Anglicans must obey. DISCIPLE. Palmerston North, July 1, 1927.
