Extract

Under the heading, ‘A Wonderful Demonstration,’ the English Churchman for April 19 gives an account of a meeting held at the Albert Hall nine days previously, announced as a ‘Great Protestant Appeal against the proposed Royal Visit to the Pope and to demand the withdrawal of the Envoy to the Vatican.’ The gathering ‘was a magnificent one.’

‘It was an inspiration to look upon that great sea of faces and to hear the stirring cries of ten thousand voices as they manifested their eager desire for the unequivocal preservation of the principles of freedom secured to this Protestant realm. . . People were only waiting and longing for a suitable opportunity of demonstrating the thoughts that were burning within them’ :

and according to another authority, the Protestant Woman, the announcement of the royal visit ‘has stirred them to their depths.’
