PINPOINTINO_AN INTRIGUING QUESTION THAT HAS THE BISHOPS ANXIOUSLY PACING THEIR STUDIES
Who will take

Macmillan is about to assume a new importance. They are the bishops of the Church of England.
In the coming months, 42 pairs of gaitered legs will pace book-lined rooms with a more anxious tread, and whis- pered conversations in the Athenaeum will acquire a fresh urgency.
