REMARKS ON DIOCESAN SYNODS

Addressed to the Clergy and Laity of His DioceseWith respect to the application to the Legislature, last year, it is needless to say much, but a brief summary of our proceedings may perhaps be acceptable to you. The Synod, at its last session, by a large majority of the members present, determined to apply for an Act of the Legislature, to give to us the status and privileges which are enjoyed by our brethren in Canada. A committee was then appointed to frame the Bill, and take charge of it in its passage through the Legislature. This commit tee performed the duty entrusted to it, and, as the state ment was made in the Council that I had introduced alterations into the Bill, on my own sole authority, I think it necessary to assure you, that this statement was wholly unfounded, that every change made in the ori ginsl draft, was made by the authority of the committee and that even the gentlemen who were unable to attend, were requested to communicate, and did communicate, their opinions by letter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
