PRIMATE AND LARGE ISSUES.

MORE THAN 800 MEMORIALS.
The Bishop of Manchester believed tha more would be done to foster the real spirit of unity by allowing diversity of use than could be done by an attempt- which was bound to fail to maintain uniformity.
The Bishop of Birmingham, in support ing the motion, said the theology of the Church of England had sprung from the Renaissance. The present cultus of the Blessed Sacrament he described as a ro erudescence of fetish worship. It was im possible, he said, to endow dead matter with spiritual properties.
The Bishop of London vigorously"re- pudiated the suggestion that the great bulk of Anglo Catholics took a super stitious view of the Sacrament,
The Bishop of St. Albans protested against the pronouncement of the Bishop of Birmingham, who had declared "with all the profound assurance of a distin- guished mathematician that the whole thing was a mass of gross superstition...
On the motion being put it was lost by 4 votes to 9.
The Archbishop of Canterbury who pre sided touched on his own sense of the gravity and solemnity of presiding at a moment of much bigh importance in Eng lish Church history. Foremost among. their distinctive characteristics National Church of England was their noble heritage, the Book of Common Prayer. An hour had come when, as diocesan Bishops of England, they were called upon to say authoritatively whether the Prayer Book, with its two and a half centuries of practically unaltered use, was to be revised, and, if so, what degree of alteration either in its rules or phraseo- logy ought in their judgment to be made. VIKING SHIP TO CROSS THE Large issues might turn on what they said and did, and that not merely for the Church's peace, but for the better efei ency of the Church's power to do God's work in the world. His Grace was cer tain that they all felt that their justifica tion in going forward with courage and hope was their deliberate belief that they were supported by the prayers of thou- sands of Lueir fellow-countrymen and fellow-Churchmen...

NORWEGIAN'S INTENTION.
No true Norwegian doubts that the first white man to set foot on the soil of America, was not Christopher Colum- bus, but Leif Ericson, the hardy Norse man, whose ship was, in the 9th century, driven by storms to an unknown coun- try, on which be and his companions landed, and which, it is claimed by Norwegian historians, was somewhere in the region of Massachusetts.
A young Norwegian, Captain Folgero, now intends to emulate the feat of Ericson by sailing from Bergen to America with three companions in 'n proper Viking ship, built on the model of the famous Gekstad Viking ship, which is preserved in an Oslo museum. The ship will be, forty feet long and twelve feet brand, and it is proposed to begin the venturescme trip across the Atlantic from Bergen on May 17th next. The course will be to Dover and thence to Cape Finisterre, Madeira and Caps Hatteras, eight miles from Philadelphia, From the last place Captain Folgere will
Before coming to a decision they had weigh-not merely to count the opinion of those outside who had present ed memorials and petitions. More than 800 documents had beeg received, and the Primate stated that he had examined each one with care. By far the greater number concerned almost entirely the office of Holy Communion. In considering such memorials they had to bear in mind that these came from the apprehensive or dis- aatisfied. It was impossible to estimate what would have been the magnitude of documents if these who were in agree, ment with what was proposed had also expressed incmselves in that way. His Grace then outlined the history of Prayer Book revision, and quoted extensively from the report of the Royal Commission on Ecclesiastical Discipline, 1906, to show to New York, Boston and Chicago; that it did not deal simply or mainly with and next he intends to continue through the Panama Canal and San Francisco illegalities, but looked forward to an en- largement of
of the book as a whole in the endeavour to at it better for twen tieth century use. The Archbishop declar ed his thankful allegiance to the lines which Cranmer and his colleagues bad followed in producing the English Prayer Book, to the principles they expounded, and to their great rules of simplicity and openness in making a book which the com- mon man could use. It was his full belief that the Church and people of England were ready to sink individual wishes and prejudices and partial affections, and to respond loyally to what God the Holy Spirit should guide them to do in answer to united prayer. His Grace concluded with an appeal to Press and public to stay the flow of letters, appeals, and criticien, and so leave the bishops to do their work in peace.

The football club which objects to its players dancing until the small hours is not without precedents for the action it has taken. We read bow Max Decugis, the French lawn tennis captain, found the major part of his work in America in getting Borotra to go to bed, and everyone remembers bow, during the Australian cricket tour of 1921, Warwick Armstrong, like a massive hen, used to drive his chicks off to bed at ten o'clock every night.

PROPOSED DIVISJON. The Erst motion was submitted by the Bishop of Norwich, who proposed dividing the measure into two, so that ore measure should contain the Communion office and the other the rest of the measure, as now framed, He thought that such a course would ensure a better chance of accept- ance by the Church Assembly and Parlia ment. The two parts would not have to sink or swim together,
The Bishop of Wakefield seconded. The Bishop of Durham opposed the motion on the ground that it meant the postponement of really grave issues. The. Position Had greatly worsened since 1906, and his lordship deals at some length with existing tendencies to Romanise" the Church Anglo-Catholics, he said, repudi- ated the Reformation, name and thing, and bad substituted for the Tractarian Appeal to the primitive Church an appeal to what they called the undivided Church," which brought them down to the year 103. He was in favour of pro- cceding at once with, the revision of the office of Holy Communion."
The Bishop of Chelmsford also opposed the motion as a confession of anticipated failure.
The Archbishop of York suggested that the motion should be withdrawn, and pat forward again waen the work of revision was complete.
The Bishop of Worcester could see no hope of unity in dealing with Holy Com union, and supported the Bishop.

FROST CAUSES FAILURE.
BARONET'S £30,000 LOSS ON FRUIT RANCHES.
Losses amounting to between £30,000 and £40,000 by running fruit ranches in California were stated at the London Bankruptcy. Court recently to have caus ed the failure of Sir. Curt Michael Op. penheimer, Bart, late of Los Angeles and now of Cliveden-place, Eaton-quare, s.W.
The debtor, who returned liabilities at £63,413′ and a deficiency of £39,728, stated/ that in February, 1923, he went to Cali formia with the object of taking up fruit growing. During that and the following year he acquired four ruches and also interested himself in a cinema studio at Culver City. Owing to the frosts of 1023 and 1921 he sustained heavy losses, amounting in all to between £30,000 and £40,000, over the ranches, but he regard ed as valuable his interest in the cinema
