tonished the public by announcing their conversion
to the Church of Rome At the time of taking this
STEP in 1874 he was and had been since 1870, grand
master of the English Masons. He at once re-
signed his Masonic dignity and retired from the
order. The Prince of Wales succeeded him as
grand master. This conversion to Catholicism was
considered the more remarkable as he had never
been suspected of theological propensites. This
change OF creed took place shortly before Mr. Glad
stone issued his famous pamphlet against the Vati-
Council in which he declared allegiance to the
spiritual supremacy of the Pope Incompatible with
civl allegiance to the British Crown. The Mar
guess Of Ripon. with Cardinals Manning and New
man, took decided stand against Mr.. Gladstone
