(2) to investigate fully the real relations between Keligion and modern Hcienee, and this 
under two heads, (a) an examination into the conclusions of Science—especially those of 
the inexact Sciences—to determine which are really proved and which are not; (h) an ex- 
anrination into tlie doctrines of lieligiou, to determine where they come in contact with the 
proved conclusions of Science, whether they are at variance with them, and if so, whether 
they can be modified into accordance with them ; and if not, how far the two can be held 
together. 
0. We respectfully submit that these objects arc of the very first importance to the 
interests of Eeligion, and therefore may claim the attention of all those to whom those 
interests are confided. 
7. Eecognizing the sympathy which Your Grace has already evinced towards these 
objects, and the steps you have taken towards realising them, we venture to solicit you to 
summon and preside at a Private Conference, as suggested above, where the best means of 
attaining them may be discussed. 
To HIS GEACE THE ARCHBISHOP OE CANTEEBUEY.
