KING CHARLES THE MARTYR
Srit,—Will you be kind enough to allow me to say with regard to the Memorial Stone to King Charles the Martyr, at Bath, that it was never the intention of Mr. O'Horan or those associated with him to lay claim to the title " Saint " for King Charles in this case, but simply to stand by the name of King Charles the Martyr as given in the original and official Calendar of the Church? I entirely agree with your correspon- dent Major Houston when he says that King Charles had consented to practically all the demands of the Parliament years before his death. The English Church owes King Charles a big debt of gratitude, which must continue while ever she exists.—I am, Sir, your obedient servant, HENRY STUART WHEATLY-CROWE, Capt. Grand Master Order of the Crown of Stuart. Boldre, nr. Lymington, thous.
