BISHOP SCOLDS CLERGY.
“INDOLENT AND LISTLESS.”
London, January J
The Bishop of Carlisle (Rev. J. M • Diggle), in a pastoral letter to the clergy of the diocese, refers to the good work which was done last year, but adds: “There are exceptions.” “Two or three clergymen,” says the letter, “are approaching the -brink of exposure on account of their habits; some are afflicted with incurable indolence, whilst others are dull and listless. Their ministry is only a matter of mechanism, and their churches are shut from Sunday to Sunday, while on Sunday they are empty.”
