A NEW PROTEST OE RITUALISM

f.

A protest against the judgment in the St. Alban's case
has been drawn up and signed by twenty-six clergymen of
the English Church. It states that the judgment tends
to dissociate the present Church as by law established
from the prze-reformation Church, and by consequence from
the Primitive Church; that if the principles of the judg-
ment are strictly applied, the due administration of the
Holy Sacraments and the celebration of Divine service
will be impracticable, not impossible (sic) ; that the judg-
ment curtails the reasonable liberties and lawful rights of
Churchmen of one school of thought in a manner and to
an extent unprecedented, while it lays upon another school
burden of observances which neither they nor their fathers
were able to bear. Under these circumstances, 26 clergymen
in question protest against the judgment and the penalties
imposed. The following are the signatures:—(ln London) :
J. M. Rodwell, St. Ethelburga, Bishopsgate ; Dr. Evans,
St. Mary-le-Strand ; C. J. Le Geyt, St. Matthias, Stoke
Newington; Dr. F. G. Lee, All Saints' Lambeth; H. D.

THE COMIC PAPERS.

(From Punch.)

"Are you aware, madam, that this a smoking compart.
meni ? ' " Yes, yes, I know ! Pray go on ! We always
travel in smoking compartments—to avoid contagion."
HERESY.—Mamma: " You know who built the Ark,
George ?" George (promptly) : " Noah, 'ma." Mamma:
"And what did he build it for?" George (dubiously):
" For little boys to play with, 'ma !"
LITERARY ANECDOTE.—" How came to you insert tnat
story f' said the spirituel X— to the sparkling Z—
(editor of the brilliant ****). "You couldn't believe it."
" My dear fellow," said Z---, " don't confuse matters.
Editing 's one thing, and crediting 's another." "Ah !"
said X—.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.—Mr. Samuel Morley, M.P., has
subscribed £5O to the Bristol Cathedral Nave Restoration
Fund. Bravo, Mr. Morley ! Better spend your money
on that Bristol nave than some of the Bristol (k) naves
your opponents lavished coin on.

SWEET VOICES.-Sir R. Glass, ex-M.P. for Bewdley,
is a member of the party which most loudly condemned
Mr. Mill's proposition for the enfranchisement of women.
But Sir B. Glass's agent —though denying that he had
employed the ladies—admitted that the women of Bewdley
had sent in a bill which was no doubt substantially an
account for screaming at the nomination. This looks
rather like a " screaming farce." If women are to be
allowed to use their voices at elections it should be to talk
sense, not to scream. We suppose Sir B. Glass's colours
were " true blue—and yeller."
