HOLY COMMUNION MUST Go.
— Oopyright.)
Received Monday 7 p.m. LONDON, March 28. Bishop Barnes, preaching at Birmingham, said: "Any hope that the new prayer hook will bring peace and order into the church seems to me illusory. In another thirty years the tendency to make the Holy Communion the icentre and circumstance of Christianity will he as in. comprehensi'ble to a large majority of churchmen as the doctrine of the verbal iiispiration of Genesis is to most of us to-day. "The position will grow worse if the new prayer hook is authorised, as it will legalise a number of Catholic developments which the Evangelicals regard as unsound. What is needed is a reform of the Church courts by which an incumbent who breaks his vows can, after trial, be deprived of his bene- ; fice without being sentxto prison."
