RELIGIOUS PRECEDENCE.
[BY ELECTRIC IE LB GRAPH. —COPYRIGHT.] [per PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Eeceiycd this day, at 9 45 a.m. • Sydney, This Day. The Baptist Union adopted a resolution emphatically protesting against any one . church at a public function being given * precedence over other churches, other than that arising to the relative numerical position. It especially denies the right of precedence claimed by the Cardinal as a Catholic dignitary. It transpires that the Cardinal’s absence from the Commonwealth proees sion was due not so much to the question of precedence as to the trouble about the prayer offered at the swearing in. The Primate suggested the offering of a piayer to the Cardinal when the latter declined to take any part in the suggested joint prayer.
At the last minute tlio Cardinal submitted n. prayer, but he was then informed that his offer was too late. Consnqnontly he took no part in the procession. -It now appears that the rule regarding precedence by seniority refers only to the Government House functions and unaffects precedence of public functions.
