PROPOSAL.
A remarkable development has taken place in the controversy over the relations of Church and State, which has troubled the Church since the rejection of the Revised Prayer Book by Parliament. In
1928.
GANDHI AND ABBEY SECRET,
WITH ARCHBISHOP OF YORK.
"It may cost a million lives. But I. a proncher of non-violence, will not hesitate to ask that the prico should be paid."
These words are stated to have been uttered by Gandhi at a meet- ing in Westminster Abtey with the Archbishop of York and a number of ecclesiasties during his recent stay in this country,

I am pleased to think that my "conjectures cut no ice" as far as "Home's" "established views on womas are concerned". He sure- ly did not start the correspondence in the hopes that his views might end.

If alli men were of the type of our fore fathers and placed home, wife and children first in their thoughts and "a good time" in the back of life's books, then there would be no ex- ruse to-day for any woman to evade any of the responsibilities which might be her lot.
