THE BISHOP OF BIRMINGHAM.

TO THB IDITOB 0» THIFBISS. Sir,—l think, with your permission, I can now contribute something on the above that will interest your readers. At our last seance our spirit friends, some of them, referred to the incident. One of them who was a Dean of the Anglican. Cathedral here, referred to the period when he held office, and it was a time of peace and harmony. Another, a lady, said it was deplorable the hard knocks that the clerics were handing out to one another —she was referring to the remark that was made about the Anglican Church as '-that Elizabethan establishment." Dr. Ellis Powell, a noted Greek scholar, who, in his day, pointed out many errors the Bible translators had fallen into—this man was also editor of "The Financial News"; he referred' to the . incident with a laugh. The consensus of opinion on the other side seems to be that the C of E. is up against another "hive off.",! am sorry to have to say that the spirit people do not regard the Church, or any Church as the guardian of truth," revealed or I discovered. To find truth one has to go where the channels are kept open, then one, each one of us. has to use

our reasoning faculties.—Yours, etc., PETER TROLOVE.
