CLOSER TO ROME.
LONDON. May 13. The Home Secretary. Sir William Joynson Hicks, at Church House yesterday at the annual meeting and conference of the National Church League, of which he is president, said it was only necessary to read the Church newspapers to realist 1 the gradual encroachment. particularly in the village churches, of service after service which approximated closer and closer to the service of the Roman Church. He added : I am more than sorry to say of some, at least, of our bishops that they have given up the attempt to check these encroachments. Look at the Bishop ol London in regard to the Church ol St. Magnus the Martyr. We know the history of that church, and yet the bishop wrote a friendly and complimentary letter to its rector. Ready. T sometimes wonder whether out* bishops appreciate seriously the position into which the Church ot England is l>eing driven. The annual report stated with regard to Prayer Rook revision that the tendency of almost all the changes taken together was to substitute what was essentially the Mass tor the Communion, and this would mean the complete subversion of the work of the Relortnation.
