' WOMEN PREACHERS. The Archbishop of Canterbury has brought his own diocese into line with others ,by approving regulations for the special recognition of women's work. These new conditions will permit women, not under the age of 25 and possessing special qualifications, to receive the Archbishop's license to speak in churches at other times than the regular services. Dr Lang explains in his Diocesan Gazette that the object of the regulations "'is to regularise the work, to give authority and recognition to those engaged in it, and to bring its methods into line with other dioceses which have been foremost in giving it a rightful place in church order." Where i\ woman, attains the standard for the Archbishop's license a,guarantee will be offered for an adcqua|b stipend for her services.
