SATURDAY's demonstration in Hyde Park against the injustice of the Welsh Church Bill was a striking proof of the disgust and indignation that this Bill has aroused in the minds of Churchpeople of all ranks of society. . . A word to those people who stayed away on Saturday on the ground that such a protest was useless. Were the protests against the Education Bills useless? Precisely the same excuse for apathy was then offered, but the fighting men won all the same. It might be so again. Of course, if we throw up our hands and surrender, the cause is lost. But it will not be lost if we fight to the last ditch. The event of Saturday shows that the old fighting spirit is by no means quenched. It must be remembered, also, that the scene in Hyde Park is only one instance of many such demonstrations which are taking place in the country. On the same afternoon ten thousand Churchpeople in Croydon met for a like purpose; a few days earlier 20,000 met in Dudley; at Cambridge Parker's Piece was thronged by demonstrators, and the Market-place at Buxton equally so; on Monday a procession, considerably over a mile long, marched through the crowded streets of Leicester and had two meetings (the arrangements for these having been made long before it was known that an election was pending); and on the same day a huge outdoor demonstration was held at Newcastle-under-Lyme; on Wednesday also, after worship in the Minster, Churchmen of York (to the number of 10,000) held a great meeting in the open air, with the Archbishop presiding; while innumerable smaller meetings are being held with the greatest enthusiasm.
