CORONATION OATH.
PROTESTS AGAINST ITS ALTERATION. London, July 26. Three hundred Scottish petitions against the Coronation Declaration Bill have reached the House of Commons, and also a petition from 2500 Canadians in favour of the existing declaration. The Bishop of Manchester, presiding at a crowded meeting in support of the maintenance of the Protestant succession, declared he was aware that the terms of the declaration were offensive to a large number of the King’s subjects, but there were occasions when it was the truest charity to speak plainly. The declaration in its present form was a real bulwark against the horror of civil and religious war. Dr Clifford, President of the Baptist World Alliance, in a letter, remarks that the Bishop of Chicester gets near what is wanted in suggesting that the declaration shall assert that the Pope has no jurisdiction in England. [The Bishop of Manchester belongs to what is known as the Broad Church Party in the Church of England- He took a prominent part in opposition to the Education Bill of the Liberal Government in 1909. As Vicar of Ashton, Birmingham, he had a parish of 40,000 souls.]
