Abstract
THE friends of both science and religion will thank you warmly for publishing the Bishop of Ripon's public testimony to Huxley's spirit of sincerity and love of truth. It is the more timely because of your recent strictures upon the Bishop of London. May I therefore, as a country parson, with an equal love for scientific integrity and religious truth, suggest to the readers of those strictures in NATURE (p. 607, April 30) that probably Bishop Temple has been misunderstood. I am sure it is not fair to his spirit to put into his mouth, “Away with all these abominations. Purge the elementary schools of everything scientific, and substitute dogmas and subjects more fitted to the stations of life in which it has pleased God to call the scholars.”
