Bcclesia : the Church of Christ. Edited by Arnold Harris
Matthew. (Burns and Oates. as. 6d. net.)—Mr. Matthew has collected nine essays, written by Roman Catholic divines, on various subjects included in the title of this volume. It would not be profitable to criticise in these columns the treatment given to them. The singularity of the volume is the presence of an appendix in which an Anglican clergyman, the Rev. Spencer Jones, holding a benefice on what we may presume are the usual terms of subscription, associates himself with these contro- versialists by contributing, or, strictly speaking, by allowing the inclusion of, an essay of his own on Papal supremacy. One might make an application of the aphorism, Zaudari a laudato viro. To be claimed by pro-Papal advocates as an ally is scarcely, one would think, 'what a loyal Anglican would desire. But as concerns the conduct of a certain class one's faculty of surprise is exhausted. "You are going to have everything Roman here except the Pope," said a young incumbent to his flock the other day. And now, it would seem, the Pope is to be added.
