SUPPLANTING THE ESTABLISHMENT. .a/.....1" WARBURTON observed, some years since, that the Church of England was worth saving; an observation of infinitely greater importance at ihis period, and which can not be too seriously impressed upon those who still profess themselves to be members of that venerable establishment. Its opponents are not only numerous and formidaLle, but active, systematic, and resolute. Their spirit is equal to. their. numbers, and their property is scarce!y less alarming than their pretensions. Parliament has, indeed, greatly to its honour, of late " endeavoured to provide more effe. tually for the general discharge of those sacred dutiei of a Church Established ; which, by forming the moral and religious cha racter of a brave and intelligent people, have, under the bless ing of God, laid the deep foundations of British greatness ;" but unless the friends of this Church awake from their apparent lethargy, individUally as well as legislatively, the cry of the church being in danger is reiterated to no purpose, exerril as admonitory of that catastrophe which it became their vigilance to have foreseen, and their courage to have averted. They will presently find, when too lite, that they have been warned without being roused, and that they have been instructed withont being benefited. It furnishes no trivial proof of the persevering alacrity of the supplanters of our ecclesiastical establishment, that, not longer ago than April last, they have formed a Society for Encouraging the Preaching of the Gospel in and about London :' for, they say, " notwithstanding the numerous places of . worship in and about the metropolis, it is a lamentable fact—that many thousands of the inhabitants remain uninstructed in the things which belong to their peace." Amongst those "extensive and populous districts " in which the gospel is thus inferred to be needed, who would have imagined that the neighbourhood of Lisson Green should have been one of the first spots selected by this London Association,' for the erection of one of their chapels? Though the Rev. Basil Woodd has long occupied this precise spot, laboriously and successfully, yet this, it seems, forms one portion of " the western part of the metro polis" which is still "comparatively destitute of a gospel ministry; " and on this account we are called upon to • " rejoice" that Paddington Chapel has been opened, " for the diffusion Of the truth as it isin Jesus," scarcely a stone's throw firm 13entinck Chapel, where, till now, it was thought, however stupidly, that the truth as it is in Jesus was diffused by the preaching of the established clergyman of the place. INo such thing !. "Encouraged by thc succestattendant on THE NATIONAL REGISTER.
