While it is true that the number of Easter communleants is 2,800,000 -the actual number in 1929 was in excess of 2,300,000-the statement that "the mass, of the people take no interest whatsoever in the affairs Church of England and of the simply fly from all religious thought" is untrue. The interest of the people in the affaire of the Church was shown at the time of the attempted revision" of the Prayer Book, and is further shown by the fact that upwards of 60 per vent. of the population is baptised and married by the Church..

It is further pointed out that Communion as a test of membership was abandoned by the Church of England 150 years ago.
