New York, Nov. 81, 1916.


New York, Nov. 81, 1916.
DEAR SIR: II may not be destitute of interest TO
inform you that the Rev. Mr. Spencer, of Bath,
Engand--an Episcopal minister of high reputation,
and now on a visit TO this country--is attracting
considerable attention in this city as public speak
err and lecturer He possesses clear, sound, and
well-educated mind, and no small share Of popular
eoquence, His temperance addresses fraught
with much good practical sense. His lecture on
the English laws In the University chapel was
a most admirable thing.
One or two statements made by him attracted
my attention more particularly. He remarked that
at a large peace meeting which he attended a short
time before leaving England, the expression Of the
meeting was strong against war generally, "but es-
pecialiy ,oih the United STATES" He said that public
sentiment in England was most decided in opposition
to a war Nth us.
He remarked that the manufacturers Of England
were tired Of protection they wished TO be relieved
OF il they felt its evils and were sensible Of them
that the most elamorous GLASS for protection were
the land holders; that they unwilling to give
up their protection, and thought protection to be
their right; and that many of them believed that IL
existed in favor Of land all the civilized world
based upon the one reason that land produced
bread, and, therefore, should be protected
He dwelt with much eloquence, and with most
convincing argument, upon the superior advantages
of free trade; and took rapid and comprehensive,
yet well-digcsied and faithful view OF It's benefits,
both moral and commercial.
