Dean Farrar on the Pope's Letter.
+♦ - — The Dean of Canterbury replies to the Pope's letter to the English ppople in an essay which, while recognising the courtesy and good feeling of the Roman Pontiff, subjects his statements to a severe examination : — " No one can have read the appeal of the Pope to our nation without thankfully recognising the spirit of courtesy by which it is pervaded. While our Church repudiates his claims to any sort of jurisdiction over us, wo w^lcoma the blessing aud the kindly recognition of an aged Christian prelate. We feel assured of his sincere affection for us as he is rightly persuaded of our hearty goodwill towards him. A letter like that of the Pope, unable •as we ara to accept its views, sets to such writers a high example which, if they desire to promote the end for which they profess to write, they will do well to follow. But we must respectfully demur to nearly all the remarks of the Pope which are in any way distinctive, and to the views of history which they seem to imply."
