"FACE REALITIES”
BISHOP BARNES ON NEW PRAYER BOOK OBJECTIONS REITERATED (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian P.A.—United Service) Reed. 10.7 a.m. LONDON. Thursday. Bishop E. W. Barnes, of Birmingham, reiterates his objections to the Prayer Book proposals, as further disuniting the Church. He -advocates, iu the event of the House of Commons rejecting the proposals, a non-contentious revision. He partly agrees with the Archbishop of Canterbury's pica, but he is moved by the pathos of its words, he declares that the younger men must face the realities, especially because the Church’s present plight is due to the failure of the leaders in the immediate past to do so. If the present proposals pass, he says the Church will steadily lose its evangelical and liberal elements. A possible ending is Church disendowment. The Archbishop of Canterbury, presiding at the Canterbury Diocesan Conference, hinted at an early retirement. He said the seventh Lambeth Conference in 1930 would not be under his chairmanship.
