Lady Bates, (Diocesan repre- sentative for Chester in the Church Assembly) said that they were all heartily tired of the controversy, And there was a danger that from sheer weariness some might be in- clined to withdraw their opposition. She asked any such people to look at the reasons for their dislike of the Book, and if those were based on the view that there was in' its teaching anything at variance with the present Book, and which could not be proved by Holy Scripture, they could not with a clear con- science do other than fight to the last to keep the national Church true to herself...
