“THU BOOK WILL NOT WORK.” “Wo have reason to believe,” says the “Church Times,” “that the majority of those parish priests who are already reserving the Blessed Sacrament with diocesan consent will not apply for a license under the second rubric, as it is now worded, will refuse to accept the license if it is offered to them, and, claiming the undoubted right that is theirs through tlio cure of souls, delegated to them bv the bishop, will continue to reserve without a license. What do the Bishops propose to do if this occurs? That is a -question sure to be asked in the House of Commons. “The Book will not work. Its proposals bayo not been adequately thought out. The drafting of the Measure is deplorable. We, therefore, must earnestly urge that at this eleventh hour the Book and the Measure bo withdrawn.” THE NEW EAST AND WEST. “The times have changed indeed; the Turk, whether Pasha or peasant, was regarded, and rightly regarded, as a classical example of Oriental Conservation by our Victorian parents, who rashly spoke of tlio unchanging East. Nowadays the study of Near Eastern change is apt to make the European observer more than a little dizzy and to tempt him to seek relief in the contemplation of the political and religions conservatism of the American Middle West.”—“The Times.”
