Canon Stanley, the liberal Churchman, has succeeded to the Deanery of Westminster, vacated by Dean Trench to the Archbishopric of Dublin. This, like the last-mentioned appointment, is looked upon as a concession to public opinion, it being generally thought that the more liberal parties in the Church were very inadequately represented in high places. And, at least, there has been great evidence of the decline of the exclusive predominance of a single narrow sect. This appointment has not passed unchallenged, Canon Wordsworth having thought it his duty to record a solemn protest, on behalf of himself and his brother Canons, against the elevation of such dangerous views to a position of such dignity and importance in the Church. It is fortunate for the Church that she has a few men of Professor Stanley’s liberality of mind, to counteract the strong tendency to narrow her limits, and tie down her members to formulee that are becoming obsolete. —London Correspondent of Nelson Examiner.
