Bishop Whipple Lionized.

eryWhere since his stay in England
| Bishop Whipple has just returned from
| visit to Oxford university and is going
| to Cambridge next week. In the course
of an interview on his impressions dur
| ing his visit, Bishop Whipple said that
he had seen all the leading churchmen
| here and as result viewed the ritual
| istic controversy calmly. There was
certainly. he said, no necessity of panic.
| AS showing the difference between Eng
| land and America, the bishop said, he
could mention the fact that never, dur
ing his episcopate of forty years, had he
experienced the disobedience of clergy
man in his diocese. Bishop Whipple said
that he thought it an absolute impossi-
| bility that England should ever go back
to Rome: and as far as America is con-
| cerned, there is no such tendency any
where. A conversation with the heads
| of the church in England and America,
| however, convinced him that there is
| widespread desire for unity. Speaking of
Americanism in, the Roman Catholic
! church, Bishop Whipple said he believed
| it was a passing phase, without perma-
| nent effect.
