…
The Rev. James Conway Walter, of Langton Rectory, Horncastle, writing to the "Guardian" on the relatios of Cchurch and Dissent, relates how he once performed the burial service for the wife of a Presbyterian minister in the Presbyterian church and in the burial-ground attached to it. "The funeral," adds Mr. Walter, "took place on Sunday afternoon, and the whole funeral party attended the evening service of my own church. I may add that from that time forward, whenever I had a collection for any object of public general interest , if I invited the different Dissenting ministers to collect for it, the Wesleyans, Presbyterians, and Primitive Methodists would have collections at their morning service, and send some member of their families to put their collections into the offertory bags at my evening service. I think, if there was more of this fraternal spirit prevailing, it would be better for all parties. I call myself a High Churchman."
