wife and Lord Roseberry and wife to-day
drove from Dalmonica park through prin-
cpal thoroughfares to the Free Assembly
hall On reaching the hall Gladstone
found it literally packed. Mr. Gladstone
said that many lies had been told against
him personally in this campaign many of
which he specified and all of which he
denied. He read an abstract from his re-
cent manifesto as follows: "With respect
to the severance of the Church of Eng
land from the state, | think it obvious
that so vast Il question cannot become
practical until it shall have grown famil-
lar to the public mind by thorough dis
cussion, with further condition that the
proposal when thoroughly discussed shall
be approved.
The English church appears to be emin-
nently suited in many and weightY points
to the needs of coming time, ana have Il
strong conviction that if this great modih-
cation of our inherited institutions shall
hereafte: be accomplished, the vitality of
the church Of England will be found
equal to all needs of the occasion.n
