It notes a dispute over calling Nonconformist ministers Reverend, argues against disestablishment fears, and ends with a curious comparison linking London worship to Fiji attendance and church expansion.

Disestablishment Debate at Wolverhampton Baptists Meeting
In Wolverhampton the annual Baptist Chapel tea and public meeting on January 23 drew three to four hundred attendees. The gathering, led by Rev. J. Stuart, featured Alderman Bantock urging unity among England’s free churches and warning that disestablishment divides evangelicals from Church of England members. The speakers stressed peace, bold faith, and the need to settle disestablishment to unite evangelical free churches with Anglican evangelicalists.
