THE BISHOP OF CHESTER, AND THE CHORAL
SERVICE.
At Bollington, near Manchester, a clergyman was
requested to meet the spiritual wanta of the people.
A schoolroom Iris fitted up for the occasion, chiefly at
the expense of the youthful Earl Stamford, licensed by
the bishop. Thereupon some of the inhabitants formed
a elan, and practled the socsgregational plain chant, and
sung the responses. Shortly after the most interferes,
and threatens to withdraw Mr. Wood's (curate) license
unless tliseople °saes to intone the service. The
people to the bishop. The bishop replies that he
ha. no tto interfere, and that be had no inclination,
saying: 'My judgment is altogether opposed to that
roode of performing Divine lorries ; my opinion in, that
the usage which prevails in Cathedrals was never de.
signed to extend to pariah @harsh's, and I stance give
my enaction to an innovation for which I find no
warrant either in the rubric or in reason. The rubric
points out the parte of the service which are to be read,
and the Puts which may be sang; and reason tells us,
that the prayer which is most natural must be most
acceptable to God ; whereas intonation Calf never be
natural, for it mast be learned, studied, and maintained
with oars."

-1.47.;ung 96, judgment of the bishop's we can
only say we behave he is the last man to or, an unkind
weed, or to do an unjust deed; but be acquired his
ideas of the choral terms in days when it was& disgrace
to the Church, and perhaps he haa never examined the
:natter on its own merits. In this came as in many
others the Church is safFering the penalty due to former
abuse*.

The question it this, are Kb, people to do as the
Church bids, and ea the Primitive Chratians did, and
