WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT BILL.
WELCOMED BY THE BISHOP OF HEREFORD.
THE CHURCH AND THE POOR.
(Received Feb. 14, 0.55 a.m.)
London, Feb. 13
1 In tho House of Lords the Bishop of Hereford said he regarded the Welsh Disestablishment Bill as a measure of national justice too long delayed. He would have preferred to see the money of which the Church was dispossessed distributed among all the denominations in Wales.
The Primate objected to the measure root and branch.
Tho Bishop of Oxford demanded drastic amendments. Ho deplored the fact that the Church of England could.not claim in virtue of its establishment that it really was tho Church of the poor..
The Archbishop of York said that if any Church had1 a right to claim'to-be a Church of the poor it was the Anglican Church. Bishop Gore's statement did not accord with his experience.
