It is rumoured that the Hon. and Rev. E. Carr
Glyn is to be the next Bishop of Ripon. Mr. Glyn is a moderate Evangelical, and, it is said, a good organiser; at least, he has kept up at Kensington in great efficiency the charitable organisations of his predecessor. It is the tarn of the Evangelical party to have a bishopric, and it is quite right they should have their tarn. But would it not be better, sometimes at least, to give a moderately High Church Diocese a moderately Low Church or Broad Church Bishop, and a moderately Low or Broad Church Diocese a moderately High Church Bishop ? A certain alternation of ecclesiastical ten- dencies in some localities is, we think, beneficial to the mutual undertanding of the various parties in the Church, and even to the various churches of the dioceses, which are thereby prevented from falling into narrow grooves of thought and practice.
