(To THE EDITOR or THE " SPECTATOTt."3 SIR,—Readere of the
Church Times who are also readers of the Provincial Lettere of Pascal can scarcely fail to have noticed the parallelism between a passage in the leading article in that journal (December 21st) entitled " The Hereford Scandal," and the concluding paragraph of the third of these letters :— " There is, some contend, no definite ground of accusation against Dr. Henson. That is perhaps true; it might be difficult to frame articles. of heresy against him from his writings. There are other divines, some of them well known to Hereford, whom the Church instinctively feels to be heterodox, but from whose writings (so subtly are they expressed) it would not be easy to extract passages sufficiently explicit to be considered heretical. But the very absence of any specific ground of objection against Dr. Henson on the score of unorthodoxy, such as might be deduced from his writings, really emphasizes the force of the general objection which is now taken. It is the personality and the record in general of Dr. Reason that seem to constitute his unsuitability for a see."—Church Times, December 21st.
