PARSON AS PUBLICAN
CRITICISM AND l REPLY. Canon J. L. Kyle, who was lately conducting a mission at Winstbw, near Selby, had difficulty in buying refreshment during his visits to country parishes—so he bought an inn. This is the Fox and Hounds at Carlton-in-Cleveland, Yorkshire. But nd one is ever drunk there. Canon. Kyle stated in an interview: “When I bought the inn it had a seven days’ license, and a brother publican immediately offered me £4OO more, for it than I paid. It was not long before I gave up my Sunday license and sacrificed a further £4OO on the value of the.house. “I have been attacked from both sides. Church people said that one of my cloth should not be the landlord of an inn, but I , asked them who was better able to run. a public house than a parson. “One brother 'parson asked, me how I could be a parson and. a publican. I replied that ! was both. .I am not-a teetotaller, but I drink nothing but ‘pop’ in my own inn, although I keep the best drink it is possible to buy.” The visitors’ book contains the signature of the Archbishop of Canterbury, when he was Archbishop of York.
