Fnnnvaav 7'rn, 1863-Fsnausnv 7rn, 19l3_ Slrvmzrrrmx years ago, on the lst of February, 1896, we noted the Jubilee of The Guardian. To-day we note the Jubilee of The Church Times. It comes as a surprise to us that fiftg, years have passed since we saw George J. almer hard at work on the pa r of which he was the founder in the smage shop at 32, Little Queen Street, on the ri ht- hand side from Lincoln’s Inn Fields. continued to be its home tmtil it formed a part of vanished London, being swept away in the 'great clearances at the making; of Kingsway.

The Association for Promoting the Unity of Christendom, an outcome o these h<;pes, was founded some six years before the ounding of the paper. Interest was taken in the movement “ gy men like Mr. Ambrose Phillips de L' e, who were unquestioning adherents of the Papacy, but equally un- questioning believers in a larger unity than p could be achieved by a mere papal sect ” ; but “ the authorities at Rome .... condemned the movement, compelling all who bowed
