THE ARCHBISHOPRIC or Yoac—The following
address is now in course of signature by the clergy through-
out the archdeaconry of York We, the undersigoed
clergy of the archdeaconry of York, are unwilling that
your grace should quit the diocese without mime expres-
sion of our regret at the loss of one, whose wisdom, kind-
ness, and self-denial wo have largely experienced and grate-
fully acknowledged. We trust. however, that the change,
which we ourselves lenient, will conduce to the general wel-
fare of the church. We rejoice that, by your elevation,
under God's good providence, to the Primacy of all England,
our national church will receive the benefit of the mature
experience. Required during an active episcopate of 24 years
in the northern province. We pray that the blessiog of
God may ever rest upon You ; that His Grace may guide
yon in the discharge of the high function, of that office to
which you are now called—that you may long enjoy health
of body and vigour of mind—and that you may be the
honoured instrument of proluotiug, what we are assured is
the dearest wish of ur heart, the glory of God and the
eternal good of men."—Yorkshire Gazette.
Tire NEW PRIMATE ANo THE ATHANANIAN
CREED.—A correspoodent of the Cambridge Independent
writes :—" The friends of church reforms and liturgical re-
vision will be surprised, perhaps, to know that they have
plausible reason for expecting some sympathy in one direc-
tion
at least of their efforts, from the Pew Archbishop of
Canterbury. Several years ago Dr. Lougley's sister named
a gentleman who was a dissenter, and of a heterodox
sect. A correspondence, which was afterwards published,
ensued between the brothers-in-law, and though the con-
troversy ended in each retaining his own opinion,
it afforded an admirable specimen of the temper
in which such controversy should be carried
on, and in no degree lessened the regard which
both parties felt for each other. The lady died two years
ago in the profession of the opinions of the sect she had
joined. I mention the matter, in order to quote a sentence
used by Dr. Lornley in the course of the controversy. It
is true that at that time he was only a simple clergyman,
and had no dreams even of archbishoprics, but it is pannier
he may not even now shrink from the avowal. 'Nothing,'
he sari, • that I have advanced on the subject of the
Atbanuian creed is, as I ontoeive, in the least degree in-
consistent with my joining in the sentiment of Tillotsoe, and
wishing it removed from our church service. If I were
called upon to give my vote upon the subject, It would be
for its omission.
