LONDON, November 18th. Members of Parliament at West- minster are being literally swamped with letters from voters in their constituencies and with propagan. dist literature referring to the case for and against the new Prayer Book.

opponents of revision seem to forget that the new book was accepted after long debate by an impressive majority of the Church Assembly which of course is the Parliament of the Church of England. The view taken by the politicians is that it is not for them to oppose the will of the Church as expressed by its most representative body.

The Public And The Book, • The question is being asked in London as a matter of general in- terest whether in point of fact the Bill is supported on Second Read-Alice in Wonderland" (Muric public at large really know muching, the Government will afford about the contents of the Revised every facility for its passing This Prayer Book. The opposition to re-means, of course that for all in- vision speak al write as though tents and purposes the Bill would. the great heart of England is beat then become a Government mec- ing with anger at the thought of sure. altering a single line in the old Book of Common Prayer. But really comparatively few have read the new edition.

There are three issuing houses, and there have been three editions, including a reprint of about 5,000 copies, so the purchasers of the first edition may have been in many cases identical with the purchasers of the book in its final form. I be- lieve, however, it would be quite safe to say that at the outside a total 100,000 copies would cover the three issues. It scarcely seems possible, therefore, that details of the differences between the new book and the present book can be familiar to church-goers at large. At any rate, it is clear that people are not so familiar with the new proposals as to justify the state: ments made regarding the extent of the opposition.

Totalisator Moves.

There will, however, be no refer- ence to greyhound coursing in the Bill, and no attempt will be made to alter the Gaming Laws. To do so, it is thought, would raise up toe much opposition outside Parliament; though as a matter of fact, how it could be possible to legalise. the totalisator without an alteration in those laws which are antiquated and in many respecte absurd-is not exactly clear.
