Dr. Garbett On "A Hard And Gruel Choice."
I gather the Archbishop of York's recent declaration about mixed marriages has aroused a good deal of interest. Dr. / Garbett was preaching at the anriual service of commemoration of the Founders arid Benefactors m Durham Cathedral. Pointing put that the Church of England is "the. most liberal and comprehensive Church . m. Christendom," Dr. Garbett said tjiere were some whose loyalty to the Church was very passive. "For instance," he said, "they will yield easily to the demand of the Roman Catholic Church that, m the case of a mixed marriage, the non-Roman should promise that any children should be brought up as Roman 1 Catholics. It is a hard and cruel choice presented to a man or woman equally m love. But the loyal members of our Church will unhesitatingly refuse' to assent to such humiliating terms; and I know that frequently, where this has been done with firmness, both man arid woman . have found that they could with complete happiness make Jhe Anglican their, spiritual home."— '"Watchman" m C. >of E.
