The addresses contained in this volume have just been delivered as a charge on a Visitation of the Diocese of Oxford and circulated to the clergy. But in the hope that some part of them may be of interest to some people beyond the diocese they are also being published.

I have added to them an essay on the place of symbolism in religion, reprinted from The Constructive Quarterly of March, 1914, though it has no direct connection with the addresses, because I so frequently read statements which suggest that if an element of symbolism is admitted in any of the clauses of the Creed it must be illogical and unfair to limit its application. The purpose of this essay is to show that the very arguments which justify the recognition of symbolism in some clauses of the Creed prevent its legitimate application to others. And I am re-publishing it here in the hope that it may obtain, even at such a time as this, a little attention.

C. OXON:

All Saints' Day, 1914.
