Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Place of the Laity in the Church
T is the purpose Of this book to indicate some of the fundamental principles by which any true reform or development of the Councils Of the Church must be made. It is the belief of the writers that nothing is more important at the present time than to call attention to principles. In a volume of independent Essays, where each writer is responsible only for what he has written, a certain amount Of repetition is not altogether undesirable, as it testifies to the fundamental agree ment which exists between them. The Editor's chief regret is that the book was not issued sooner; he trusts that it may be Of service in directing public Opinion on the relation which ought to exist between the laity and the clergy of the Church.
