A memorandum on the subject by Canon G. F. Harvey, which is to be submitted to the Council, states that the position is a serious one and, unless the Church In India takes the matter in hand at once, it will be called upon in the near future to go through such a severa crisis as will shake it to its very foundations, If it does not wreck it altogether.
