The Rev. T. Om, of Poole. then delivered a !speech on
Ritualism, at the commencement of which he spoke of the
Church of England, as divide I Into parties, and warring in her-
self. He then dwelt at great iength on the displays and teach.
ings of Ritualism. which he mid had • tendency to lead men to
sensuous show, and which were the result and symbols of false
doctrine. He examined the doctriom of transubstantiation
and the priesthood of the clergy. and was going into that of
confession, but found he had exhausted the time.
"

The Rev. T. Rases. of lkirehester, spoke on the subject of
the Education Bill, which he considered deliberately handed
over to the clergy of Established Church the whole of
the religious education in country schools, sod would
perpetuate that eccimiastical domination which thronirtiout
this country's history hail been its bane, lilt were suffered to
become law, it would strike at Nonconformity a blow
heavier than soy other recent MA of the Legislature.
Rethought there might he • compromise—that the
Bible might be rikd say M the commencement of the
school, but that there should be no teaching of cate-
chisms and formularies, whichoften contained more evil than
good. He instanced one set used in a part of Wales, which
taught among other things that "dissenting clergymen" being
laymen, their blaming Is ci no avail ; that perfect safety on
be found only& In the Church of England, and that Puritan
doctrines are only believed because they art comfortable.

and nor friends young and old, giving themeelves to the work.
The Rev. J. 11. Virmans, secretary of the Home Missionary
Society, believed we were specially called at the present thne
to attend to the heathen perishing around us, and how we
could bring to bear on them the Christian power found in our
churches, If we were the means in G•srs hand, of converting
an English village, we should move • lever that would more

statist In Somerset. 230 people had emigrate', carrying
Christianity, and had planted the banner of the erns in

noble words°, the exhortation hymn, "Gather them in," and
" "at I live for." and concluded amidst applause.
Votes of thank. were given to the ministers and friends at
Weymouth for malting arrangements for the visitors, and to
Mr. Kemp-Welch for taking the chair.
The Rev. W. Leeds and Rev. It. S. Ashtoo acknowledged the
vote to the ministers of Weynmuth ; the chairman had been
