Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Official Report of the Church Congress: Held at Norwich, October, 1895 A comparison of the programmes of 1865 and 1895 still further marks the growth of the Congress. In 186 5 eleven meetings (six being sectional) were held on three days; in 1895, twenty-six meetings (fifteen being sectional) were held on four days. It appears to have been an unwritten law of Congress in its early days to limit the number of papers and prepared addresses to four, viz., two readers and two speakers. In recent years the programme has been heavily weighted with invited readers and speakers; and, mainly in consequence of this, the discussions of the subjects by voluntary speakers have often been very limited. A good deal of criticism has been directed against this comparatively recent innovation, and Subjects' Committees in future years will be wise if they aim at meeting objections which have been very emphatically expressed, and are undoubtedly widely felt. Again, in recent years the subjects selected have been elaborately dissected and subdivided; whereas in earlier years they were briefly designated in general terms.
