They were approved by Arch- bishop Whitgift, and sent to Cambridge with direction that the scholars should conform to them, but were recalleil bv order of Queen Eliza- beth.

A gathering of all the bishops of the Anglican conmiunion, held at L.Tm'oeth Palace, the ollicial residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and under his presidency. The idea of such an assembly was suggested as early as 18.51 by Bishop Hopkins of Vermont ; but the first formal request to call it was made by the Canadian bishops in their pro- vincial synod of 1S.5. the desire growing out of the disquiet caused by the complications of Bish- op Colenso's case. Archbishop Longley issued the first invitation in 1807. and it was accepted by 76 bishops. The second conference was held in 1S7S. in response to the demand of those who realized the usefulness of the first; this time 100 bishops met. under Archbishop Tait. In 1888. under Archbishop Benson. 145 were pres- ent; and in 1897 Archbishop Temple presided over 194. The conference does not pretend to legislate or to fonnulate doctrine; hut its value as a means for the interchange of counsel on problems of the day has been so generally felt (hat it is likely to continue at inter-als of ap- proximately ten years. Its most important single net has been the promulgation of a basis for the establishment of Christian unity in 1888. A full official report of the origin and the pro- ceedings of the first three meetings has been pub- lished by Dr. Davidson, who became Archbishop of Canterbury in 1903, The Lambeth Conferences LAMBS' CLUB.
