ly far better to allow tbc Dean of
Westminster to proceed with his
speech.
Dr. Gou 1 burn, Dean of Norwich,
one of tbc more solid men, made a
substantial speech. “If ever,* he
said, “there was an unsuitable time
for doing anything with the A than a

The debate was continued on the
two following days—four days fo all.
Canon Gregory denounced the
Dean of Westminster for his “cruel
attack.” Proctor Snmaer maintained
that “a church without dogma must
necessarily be the teacher of a doc
trine without form mid void." “If
we waver, or strike our dag, or tack
