King Edward’s Faith.

A RUMOUR AND A DENIAL. A letter in the following terms, writ* ten on behalf of the Archbishop of Canterbury to the Dean of Quebec, who had forwarded his Grace a cutting from the “New York World,” giving expression to a rumour that King- Edward had died in the Roman Catholic faith, has been published by the “Dublin Daily Express”:— “My dear Dean of Quebec, —You have called the Archbishop of Canterbury’s attention to a preposterous and baseless rumour, which you tell him has obtained currency in some quarters about King Edward and the Roman Catholic Church. For the Archbishop to issue a public contradiction of such a report would be to give increased importance and currency to an allegation which can only have emanated from some ignorant or malicious person. It must be as painful to the authorities of the Roman Catholic Church as to others that reports so totally devoid of foundation should, on the strength of anonymous newspaper paragraphs, find currency anywhere.”
