CHURCH "MONGRELS."
" Anglo-Catholics, Evangelicals And Modernists." BISHOP-DESIGNATE'S VIEW. (Australian Press Assn.—United Service.) LONDON, October 4. "Anglo-Catholics, Evangelicals, and Modernists are all mongrels," declared Canon Henry A. Wilson, Bishop-designate of Chelmsford, in an address at the Church Congress to-day. "But," the speaker continued, ""mongrels are always more interesting than thoroughbreds, and generally they are more intelligent." Canon Wilson prefaced his remark by saying with great emphasis that the Catholic, Apostolic, Reformed and Protestant must be retained in relation to the Church of England, if the Anglican interpretation of the Christian faith was to be truly expressed. Once the principle of reform was allowed to operate "religion ceased to be a pond and became a running stream. The English Church had become comprehensive through the admission of the legitimacy of reform. Comprehension had brought into being many mongrel churchmen.
