" With regard to ' bowings , ' ' gonufkxious , ' and ' gesticulations , ' Mr . Liddell denieti the truth of your . sttiternctnts .
£ did not observe any such gesticulation when 1 » held « confirmation in St .

The custom of bowing on entering u church or chancel is a very aacient one , and very coneially observed in our oUuroh till within the last 100 years . 1 have been told by eouie old clergymen that when they wore young it was the general practice , at lwist with tlie clergy . I do , not observe it myself , but I should bo loth to imputo a HupcrstLtioua feeling to thotfe who do .
