—Father Knox once remarked that |
it might be safer to leave one’s
umbrella in a Methodist chapel than
in a Catholic church. “The Meth-
odists are a picked lot, whereas the
Catholic Church must cater for sin.
ners no less than for saints, "From
which it would appear that the “um-
brella test” is yet another “note
by which the true Church may be
recognized.” Lord Salisbury declared
that he never used the Athenaeum
Club in wet weather, because the
bishops had a weakness for new
umbrellas. So that, whatever may
be the case with Methodism, the
Church of England, at least, pos-
sesses the “umbrella note” of the
true church.—Arnold Lunn.
