in

3y about

London,
Dec. 3lst.—Dr.
Hensley Hen-
son,
Bishop
of
Durham,
has
enereda
strong
protest
to the Archbishop
of Can-
terbury against
the
reunion
contereares
in Cardinal Mercier’s palace.
'l'ne Bishop
somplains
that
the
delegates
appointed
to visit Malines
are
notoriously extreme
Anglo-Cathclies
and
they
are
not
re-
precentative
of
the
religinus
convietions
of the
majority
of
English
churchmen.

down
three
proposi-
tions.

Acceptance
by

of

de-
claration
that
th:
Bible
is
the ultimate
standard
of
faith
ana
that
the
Nicene
Creed
is a sufficien:
statement
of Christ-
ian faith.
Dne IRisnop of Ducham
believes
tiut
Rome
cannot
ugree
to: the
Bible
being
the
ultimate
standard
and
can-
not
accept
the
Nicene
Creed
because
it makes
no reference
to
such

as Papal infallibiiity and purgatory.

possesses
a
confrivance
similar
to
the
method
the
Germans
were
reported
last
Autumn
to
have
dizcovered
for putting
the magnetos
of
airplane
motors
out of
action
by radio,
according
to
the
Daily
Mail
today.
Experiment
with
this
de-
vic2,
says
the
newspaper,
led
to
the-
discovery
that,
by
providinz
for
the
iwsulation
of
magnetos,
the
effect
of
the
contrivance
could b 2 eou.iteracted.
