SCOT MOVES MANY TO TEARS
By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright LONDON, Friday. J[T was the opponents rather than the supporters of the measure who used the most stirring eloquence. Mr. Rosslyn Mitchell, Labour member for Paisley, speaking with the conviction of an old Scottish Covenanter, moved the House as it is very rarely moved. He said the Church of England could not permanently endure, if she were half Reformist and half Roman. He wound up by declaring passionately: “I do not want to vote against this Bill, but I car. do no other, so help me God.” The words, perhaps, read coldly, but coming at the end of a perfervid speech, they moved many to tears.—A. and N.Z.
