Bald t Disclaim
Title of Primate. v
A friend of mine who crossed on
the same steamer with Ills grace of
York, and whose acquaintance with
the archbishop ripened quickly after
the manner of steamship friendships,
tells me that the relate disclaims
the title of "primate of England."
which. Is usually affixed to bis pho
tographs: but I suspect my friend of
having' misunderstood. For don t the
history books, as well as- 611 the press
stories about the Most Bev. Dr. Lang,
tell us that "although the 'Archbishop
of Canterbury, as primate of all Eng
land, takes precedence of his brother
of York, who is primate of England
without the qualifying word all
yet they are Independent of one an
other and Archbishop Lang is In no
eense subject-to his grace of Canter
bury. The title Is simply a technical
term implying ecclesiastical Jurisdic
tion. "As nrlmate of the north, the
Archbishop of York, bears the title
of Perpetual Chaplain of the Queen
Consort and, whereas the Archbishop
of Canterbury enjoys the privilege
of crowning the King in Westminster
Abbey, It Is he who has the prero
gative of crowning" the Queen."
