' A fascinating theme of discussion is suggested here. The atmosphere in which modern conversions take place is so utterly different from that of the bygone world of Newman. 262 ROBERT HUGH BENSON A special interest attaches to a letter from the present Abbot of Caldey ; from it I quote a few sentences : It seems so hard to go on with the men to whom one looks to do great things in the cause of Corporate Reunion dropping off one by one into little reunions of their own. . . . What a joy it must... be, to be in Rome as a Roman, not as a mere spectator ! . . . Do you remember those happy days at Mailing when you were "coming on"? What an anti-Roman you were then ! It was with this Abbot of Caldey, who at last has followed a like call, that Hugh took refuge to " make his soul " for the last time, in retreat, not a month before his death. From his own letters I will quote two extracts. To Mr. Spencer Jones he wrote thanking him cordially for his congratulations, and his sympathetic warning in view of the singular light-heartedness with which Catholics too often seem to accept their privileges : One is still somewhat bewildered in these new sur- roundings, but I think I know what you mean about the " apparent flippancy " ; but, as you say, it is a mark of fearlessness and security in the possession of them.
