A DAILY paper, chronicling the King's doings in Scotland, informs us that on a recent Sunday his Majesty attended a sevice "which was, of course, in accordance with the Presbyterian order, his Majesty being a Presbyterian when in Scotland." His Majesty is, of course, no such thing, any more than he is a Roman Catholic when in Paris. Crossing the Border does not automatically change the religion of even the most exalted personage. All that can accurately be said is that his Majesty, though a member of the English Church, does not in Scotland attend the worship of the Scottish Church, with which the English is in communion, but worships with the Presbyterians, following the un- fortunate precedent of his immediate predecessors. Queen Victoria was, we think, the first sovereign to join regularly in Presbyterian worship. That she did so voluntarily may well be believed, for her own tastes and the liberal Lutheranism of the Prince Consort would have inclined her to such a course. We believe that King Edward never worshipped in Crathie Church before he came to the Throne, and after his accession did so with reluctance, and on the advice of ministers, some of whom were Presbyterians. The following of this unfortunate advice may please a few Scotsmen, but it offends many English Churchmen. The solution of any difficulty that may be thought to exist lies not in the sovereign's attendance at Crathie kirk, but in the use of the Royal chapel by which the King should by ancient custom be attended, the term chapel including not only the necessaries and ornaments of Divine worship, but so many of the King's chaplains as may be required.
