ssions were heard before Christmas,
1898, and that ten thousand were heard in that parish last year.
The Bishop of Lincoln preached at "High Mass" at St. Mary Magdalene,
Paddington, on January 7, 1899. The only difference in the service
on this occasion from that of the Roman Church was the use of the
English language instead of Latin.
The Bishop of Oxford, on being appealed to by parishioners on
January 11, 1900, attending at the Church of St. John, Cowley,
Oxford, and asked to suppress the Romish practices carried on there,
which were totally out of keeping with the simplicity of true
Christian worship, gave them no redress.
The Bishop of St. Aibans, charged in the House of Lords with
favouring practices not lawful in the Church of England, declined to
answer. On this point the Daily Telegraph wrote--"Does the Bishop of
St. Albans understand that he is responsible to the State as well as
to his own conscience? Has he any inkling of the notorious fact that
the proper administration of a diocese is not a private or a
personal matter, but an onerous public task, for which he is rightly
held accountable?"
