Dear Sir, 
At the Private Conference, held by His Grace Tint 
Archbishop of Canterbury, at Lambeth Palace, on 7th inst., 
the following Resolution was passed unanimously:— 
“ That it is desirable that those Scientific men who believe in 
the truths of Religion, should take every fitting oppor¬ 
tunity of stating that belief; and that the following be 
appointed a Committee, with power to add to their 
number, for the purpose of maintaining communication 
amongst those desirous of promoting this object:—His 
Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, Prof, Stokes, 
Prof. Balfour Stewart, Dr. Sorby, Prof. Rolleston, 
Dr. Gladstone and Prof. McKendrick ; Hon. Sec., 
Mr. Walter Browne,” 
It was suggested that such expressions of opinion might pre¬ 
ferably take the form of articles to be published through the 
periodical press ; and I shall be greatly obliged by any suggestions 
as to writers or subjects for such articles. 
Thanking you sincerely for your interest in the movement. 
I remain, 
Yours truly, 
7^- J
