Supplement to the volume of collected writings, etc.

There are one or two points in the letter of your esteemed correspondent " Lambda " in last week's issue which call for some observation before the subject of the recent Revision of the Ritual is allowed to rest. Being one of an abnormal class which comes under two categories in your correspondent's letter, namely, " blaming the Conference for its insufficient action," and being at the same time astonished and pleased that " the views of the Delegates were, if anything, in advance rather than in arrear of the expectations " of the Congregation, I hope and trust that the subject is not now settled.

Where so much good has been effected, it would be ungracious to minutely criticise " Lambda's " letter. I pass by, as matters on which opinions may fairly differ, " the thoroughly English character of the whole proceedings " ; that may or may not be subject for congratulation. It is also fairly arguable whether or not the Reform Congregation was right in seceding, and although I agree with " Lambda " in his dislike to schism, I recognise a motive beyond " ignorance and selfishness," the two causes to which he would limit secession, namely, conscience. If it is a crime to secede, it must undoubtedly sometimes be a crime to remain in communion with those who hold tenets which the individual conscience cannot approve
