that in the very plus where men and women had

the cruel, and can never be repeated. All true Pre‘e•
Mete were astonalhed not long age by the extraordin-
ary doings of ne ritualist, in Loudon during • " Twelve
Duo' blissiens." At one of those services readies
wore distributed. and, when they bed been lighted. •
piecemeal was formed and the coagrgation marched
round the church. The candles were then blown out,
and the people were directed carefully to keep the en'
burnt portion and have it lighted when they were dying,
to light Moo through the dark valley of the shadow of
death I That did seem Waage heeling to some from
Ministers of the Church of Ragland ; for hi found ha dee
Bible (Psalm milL, 4) David said "Yes, though I
walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil; foe Thou are with me, Thy rod and Thy
staff they comfort me." U they th 4 bet look to Christ
they would have no need of candle, for He would be
their light and comfort in death. Bet hearing of
these strange doings, they were led to ask another
question—Were there things really making men and
women more attached to the Church of England or
not He answered No, far from It; and believed they
were intended to lead them away from the simple
worship end teething of out church to the dangerous
doctrines and practices of the church of Home. If the
ritualists were honestly to say We are dissatisfied with
the servile' mid doctrines of the Protestant Church of
England, and will therefore leave her communion, we
could entertain more respect lel them. The Bishop of
Ripe., speaking last year of the suesslon of nineteen
clergymen to Rome, said as a private Christian he
grieved to hug of their lapdog into the church of
Rome, but, speaking as an attached member and officer
of the Church of England, he thought it showed a
degree of vitality in our church that it should have
been able to shake off these fele° dashing' if any-
thing could shake the confidence of the laity in the
Church of England, It would be the beae 'widen that
there were men professedly belonging to that church,
and ministering in her, wbo wore secretly in league
with thane to whom limobttroh was irrevocably °posed,
and who In their bewares were determined if possible
to bring hack the Chards of England to the state In
which it was before the Reformation. Speaking etill
as • churchman, he could not but hope that those who
were still in our claret with their hearts in the
Hanish church, would have the manliness to follow
the example of the nineteen seceded elergymen—(bear,
hoar). At the prevent time they were often told tho
Church of England wee wide enough for them all.
He did not believe it. A married couple of the work-
ing class in Lancashire, who were always quarrelling,
and blaming each other for their mutual unhappiness,
determined to call in the parish clergyman to may who
was to blame and to suggest • remedy. The minister
beard the oom plant, of both of them, and then eosumelled
mutual forbearance and kindness, enfordng his remarks
by pointing them to the example of the dog land eat,
with neturee so different, lying on their hearth happily
together. 'The man ealmbr listened for a time but at
length he broke out "They (the dog and cat) be all
very well now, bat you jest tie them together!"—
(laughter), Now that he thought illustrated theft met
and that endeavouring to snake those holding the
doctrine, of the Romish search and thou who believed
and taught Protestant and Evangelical truth work
barinottionaly together was hopeless': tbefritnallets said
they were the true representatives of the Church, and
the Protestor!' said they were judged by the Prayer
Book and Artieles, which they believed to be In scour.
dance with God's Word. United action by the
Rituallate and Protestants was impossible, and the
sooner the Ritualists seceded from the church the
better. Now white were the doctrines of the ritual-
hits ? It might be pealing to eaamarate all of them,
but let them notice one or two. The Ceara rims
had said "It le perfectly true that in the case of the
ritualists it is the Masi which Is being celebrated."
This was speaking of the Lord's Supper, and they said
that alter conaecration the breed and wine became the
body and blood of Christ. In • " Manuel for the
Young" children were taught just be/ore the unsure-
don of the bread and wine, to "kneel with both hand.
clasped upon the hreaskfollowing the preacher in silent
awe. for Jeans our God is very nigh and is about to
desund,surrounded,with the fire of the Holy °bookend
acoompenied by the angels," At the duo they were
taught to say, "The whole body of my God, the
whole body of my Redeemer, I adore, I adore, I adore
thee." Another utterance of the itituaists teaches
that God is incarnate in the bread and wino, as really
present as He was in the strode of Jerusalem."
Another says that by His pretence is not meant pre-
sence by Divine power, or spiritual grace, but the
presence of His very body, not anything different from
what it was upon oath, the very body which he took
of the substance of the Virgin Mary, which wee crad-
led, dead, buried, and ascended into heaven. It
I. perfectly true, mays the Cetera Tama, that the
service then celebrated by the Ritaalisis is the mod-
fire of the mug. Others say "The gaily slave, oh
wonder 1 eats the body of hie God ;"—"as really and
truly bolds God in his band as Simeon held the child
Jeans in the temple." Another say. "The Lord's
body ought not to be held with the finger and thumb,
it should be resolved in the palm of the hand;" end
yet another says "To wipe the lips with a pocket hand.
kerchief is an act of irreverence impossible to any who
believe they have received the Lord's blood." Another
ritudistie minister declared that Protestantism has
filled our 01011 and workhouses, cud is filling hall.
But the Prayer-book Mulles that the sacramental bread
and wine "remain still in the very 'latent substance,"
and may not be adored, for that were "idolatry, to be
abhorred of all faithful Christians." Further, at the
end of the Communion for the sick, the rubric directs
the Minister that if a men by any just impedimeet
do not modes the sacrament with his mouth; but dose
truly repent of his else and irteedfaelly believe Christ
suffered death for his redemption, then he doth eat ,
and drink the body and blood of Cheese profitably to
his soul's health. In the 31at Article the one oblation
of Christ finished upon the arose is dearly set forth,
and in the 213th tranaulastentialdoa wu condemned; so
It was no wonder the Maud/ate wished them all swept
away- In these days it we. more than ever incumbent
upon them to examine the Prayer Book, and Articles,
and Homilies, to see what was really the Church's
teaching, and he advised thou to bring the sermons of
that. Ministers to the law and to the teetimony. But
the titnaliats had also introduced the eonfessional.
One of the 01112012 s of the Council of Treat pronounced
accursed any on. who should deny the doctrine and
muds* of suramentaloonfeadon to the priest alone;
but as Protestants, of mese, they held the teaching
of the Bible (1 John IL, 1) "If any man sin, we have
an edema*" with the Father, Jesus Christ the
righteous;" end again (9 v,) "I/ we °oases oar sins he
(God) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to
dome as born all maighteousnees." Bishop Burnett,
writing on the 39 Articles, pointed out that there was
not • word said in the New Testament about confess-
ing to • priest; and it was a signalment fact that in
some dioceses Burnett on the 39 Artieles was no
longer recommended for study to candidates for holy
orders. The Union, • loading ritualist paper, stated
that the same quartile= were asked by the ritualists
as by the Romish priests; and it would be well to
Inquire the nature of the questions put In the conies-
glossal. He would first quote the remarks of the Rev.
Dr. WNelle on the subject. He said "I might cal
attentioe to the Maynooth olass-books, in their mode
of treating the seventh oommandment as well as the
eighth ; but delicacy forbids. I must my however,
that to my mind, the most extraordinary, the most
uumantable phenomenon In the history of our fallen
world, as the fact that men and gondemen, fathers
and husbands, consent, and actually corporate, to ex-
po,e their daughters and their ViVed to the question-
ings of the aonfessional, when they may read the
instructions given to their priesthood preparatory to
those questions—many of them suggestive of Inde-
cency—in whirls thou men are systematically taught
to examine their penitents, especially reeently married
females," The Rev. Dr, Baylor, prMipal St.
Aidan's college, Birkenhead, says, " The *hush of
Rome teethe. Immorality and The shelter
of Protestant decency proteetion which Romish
priests hero from the of all men, in eons&
, quonoo of these polluting quetiooa. We *menet dare
to pollute public morals by printing the subjects and
, questions which pried, are reqoirad to ask females in
primes. It Is not too much to say that if Satan had
the pen in his hands he amid not write grosser abom-
inations than are the Instructions to prieses directing
them how to catechise female) at sonfeadon." Now
without considering the question whether ties leeturer
Murphy proceeded in the wisest way, it was worthy of
notice that wherever in any of the large towns ho was
announced to lesture as the oonfessional, there was
amid Dare to be a row, and be (the speaker) attributed
It to the motion of the priests, who feared the amse-
queues of an exposure of the abominable system. Dr.
Killer, of Birmingham, challenged the Roads priests
in Wolveghemptou or Birmingham to • publics meeting,
with ladies present, when he would translate peewee
from Liguiri, and abide the public verdiet. 'I say,"
he 6444 'without hesitation, that until Liguori and
