LONDON, December 14th. The event of the week is the re- jection of the New Prayer Bonk Measure by the House of Commons, It is thought that this is bound to bave far reaching effects upon the future of the Church of England at home and abroad. Following the big majority by which the House of Lords approved the Mensure the vote of the Commans is a startling surprise. As I write, a few hours after the decision, the general opinion is that something in the natuer of a tragedy has happened, Twenty years of work by the best brains in the Church, enrried unt with unexampled care and thorough ness, and finally approved and sup ported by the" official authority of the Church Assembly, has beep Jettisoned by the rallying of the forces of reaction at Westminster.

But the yote of the House of Commons has diminished whatever power they have possessed to keep order. This is why I have described the reje. ting of the Mensure as a victory for the forces of reaction.

Scenes At Westminster. The debate in the House of Lords, who accepted the Prayer Book by 211 votes against 56, reached a very high level, It has been higher than anything ex. perienced within living memory, and was sustained for three days. There was much that may be classed as real oratory,

The level of the speeches in the House of Commous was also high; and it was in some cases dramatic and emotional.
