It is owing to offences of this Fort,—tO the not' "cuffing:the lessons, and praying the prayth of our church, that of fence is taken against the established million of this country, its altars neglected, and its rites and ccrenamies exposed to contempt. This disorder is an inveterate one. It is not a distcalpir of the bead, but it is a disease of the heart. The hearts of numbers of the priesthood do not enter into the services of the church to which -they belong ; they are mere organs, and not actors. Prolcssionality is the master vice of ecclesiastics. • The phrase of " doing duty," which is too constantly in their mouths, is literally most descriptive yr their character. They always feel ita trade, the cure of souls; untl they think it nothing more. Really the church is in sonic danger.

But the great services of our church are not confirt Whether at the solemnization of matrimony, the vi sick, or the burial of the dead, the conscientious many mid arduous duties to perform, upon who'e effi , much' of the dignity of the Establishment and the community • depend.
