MISSION MEETING
Snt,—I gather, with regret, that a reference of mine to' a voice as sug- gesting a Free Church mission meeting has been taken by some readers as depreciatory This was the last thing I meant. I was merely trying to describe what kind of voice it sounded to me (probably quite mis- takenly); and all I meant was that it had an emotional and hortatory quality which I think may be commoner outside Anglicanism, which is apt to have a more formal pitch. By "mission meeting" I meant, of course, not foreign missions but home ones, which incline, I believe, to evangelical exhortation ; in fact, I suppose this is what they are for. But If I have seemed so discourteous and stupid as to speak disparagingly of the great Nonconformist denominations, or even of their voices, I am very sorry; it was never in my thoughts to do so Ctosms.
