Mr. G. J. G. Gaston t I see herein the report that
reference is made in the new code to severe punishment
for irregular attendance. Will that fall oath. children
or the parasite?
The Itm. H. Eyesore: Unluckily it will fall on the
managers. So much &peed* on the attaidame of the
children, and if the attendaace lobed, the whole of the
grants will suffer. Evidently the object of the Govern'
meat is to try and make the atteadance as good as
possible. They felt that all over England the
attendance was very bad—not in one plaos alone, but
all over the country; and they were evidently going
to punish managers severely by this new code, it the
attendance was bed.
Hr. Ermine Bummer: By redwing the grant?
Bey. H. HVIAZIT : Yee.
The Hon. Mumma said they bad had an extra-
ordinary expeams during the past year, and be hoped
they would not hays any during the next year.
Referring to the new code, lib. Hodges said it was •
question which seriously affected the liaanose of the
school, for if they had • considerable falling off of the
capitation grant, owing to the irregular attendance,
they would be rather pinched for means; If on the
other hand, the schools were favoured by the new
grant, it would be so much more, of course, to their
advantage. It. had received a letter, which he would
not read Nome there was no name attached to it,
and one did not usually take notice of anonymous
letters at the same time there was • great deal of truth
in this letter, and he would allude to It, because it was
quite right they should tmt buck the

the gentleman bad raised, whoever he ht be
—it might be • lady for aught be knew. t wee
with regard to the list of eubeoribere. The enbecrip.
time mounted to Mil be., which was a very small
proportion of,the whole of the receipts of the school,
which amounted to about £l,4o7—not quite one-
seventh part. Of course the other receipts were made
up from the grants, the school pane, thecollections in
the churches, and so forth. Now, the object of this
letter was to give the writer's opinion that the burden
of the support of the school was very unequally and
unevenly proportioned in this town; and he (Mr.
Hodges) supposed no one would disagree with that
statement, Maims U they looked through the list they
would unfortunately miss the names of a great many
gentlemen they would like to see there. From what
reason it are. he could not tell, but they could not
bark the fact, or lose sight of it, that they knew very
wall • good many of their friends in the town would
prefer • Board School to a Voluntary School, and that
was the very reason for their not subscribing. In
regard to that, he would ask them to look back to the
origin of the Bducetion Act. Mr. Hodges then briefly
mentioned the mums and effects of the Act, and in
regard to the arguments of those who advocated School
Boards,. said be had taken some little trouble to
a what the result would be if a Board were
sutetitated. One item in the report showed that the
cost of educating the children in their schosls was
£1 9,. 51, and, moor lag to the returns of the Educa-
tion Department, they showed the average met in the
Board Schools was £2 Is. Si. per head, which was 12s.
more than it ant here. That was hued up ou the
average attendance. The average attendance in our
schools last year was 945. and, therefore, in order to
see what the met to this B trough would be in
educating the poor children they must take the
average of the Board School Is. 54., and,
multiply that by the average attend me. 915. which
would pr viune • total cost of £1960 lie. 134., as
against £1.392 7.. 811, which was their total oost of
m dotmanm. The rateable value of ,he B Rough was
£20,000, and in order to produce £1,960, which it
would cost to maintain them under a Board, they
would want • ram of 2a. in the C. He would like to
ask the town what advantage they would get by hav-
ing • Board School In the Borough? Would they get
better education, and was it right, when it was con-

the such carried on by the schools) was again the
seftes4 of somewhat severe comment, as will be sees
his thethesebes.
The Bey. H. Bring" said the report, as they
laical notice, was unusually brief this year, chiefly
beware, as was set out in the note at the bottom of the
report, there was no special occasion that demanded
noble' like • lengthy report, and the committee
therefore thought they had better present it in se
sheet • formreappss2:lle. There were one or twe
=ln the however, which demanded just a
or two of op, and first with regard Its
the atteadanosa lie thought they would be pleased
to nodes that there had been an Incases of just about
50 °Mideast In the attendance over last sear. If they
remembered, last year at their annual meeting, held
en Gast very day and in the same room, he made some,
what were probably called (be did not say so himself).
rather unpleasant remarks about the attendance and
the Atendathe Committee, became be thought at that
U.. the isthmian°, of the children had not been
sahweed by the Attendance Committee in the way it
mitht fume been; and therefore he made those remarks.
Bat be WNW to my that no man in England hated
awing nasty things more than he did at the same
=sling. as he did then, there had been certain
ared that the schools suffered in consequence,
he made the remarks complained of; if he luci not
spoken out, be would not have been worth his salt,
sad ths soothe the committee appointed another
absinths the better. It was on this account he made
these ressarka. This year, happily, there was nothing
for him to make away remarks upon. lb. attendance
had been considerably Increased, and so had the
summenem. He had received a letter that day from
the officer of the Attendance Committee, giving bits
some moue interesting statistics, and from which he
learned that this year 143 summonses had been taken
out, whereas lain year, the year of which he
celopialowl, there were only about twenty-three.
Ninety fines were enforced, against seven the
year before; 33 school orders had been made, four
oyes dippharged, and eight adjourned. This certablly
did show that that the Attendance Committee had
been alive and trying to do their work, and there was
only the "aeon that he was sorry the Mayor was present
that evening, became as they knew, it was said one
should never praise • man to his face or abuse Ipm
behind Ws back ; therefore his being primmest prevented
his saying what be Intended to say if his Worship
Minot bees present. Bat from what be heard and
be really believed their present Mayor had tried
d_gbis,ermofufflostoostTY out that which they
iTirjedtted to he • very uniriethent thin"
able drety. Them was aot the slightest doubt=
that, sad be (Mr. Everett) bed always been ready to
admit It; still it was the law of the land that had been
carried out, and therein" they did not want only
kind-hearted Mayon'. They all knew people came up
to the Bench with all sorts of the meet plausible
exenme, and they did not want these excuses to be too
WSlinseed to. As he had said be should say
the Mayor had not been present, and for every
other nen" exempt that be was delighted to see him
is the chair that night. ( gear, brat.) Mr. EDIDIAS
further mentioned that the work of the Attendance
Omensittes, had already shown an increase in the
sileadaisce of about 50 children. of course, whether the
attendance was what it ought to be or what It really
might be, be did not venture to say, still there was an
enormous quantity of children running about the
sad what they did want was that these
children should be protected from their selfish and
Indianan parents The cry of the child was—Give me
that which 'I have • right to &gaud_ give methat which
will enable me to become • good 'Msiedea and • good
chime. That wee the cry of every neglected ohm ht our
sIL
end he had always that that cry
=demani should be attended to to the beet of
*heir power' became they all knew many west,
were thiedffly aot what they ought to be in reword
to the bringing up of their children. He was very
unomoir to trooper apes their time. bat there was
ISO Abet warm he might allude to. They would
age the repel sasediou wa• made of the sew Code.
As lbw glue an maw mese% the mew Occie was

levied not only noon these preaut who could well
afford it, but would touch the p ior people who we-e

should like to ask for what goo I or for what reason
they should have • School Board, or how they would
be bettor off? He hosed these facts would be cooddered,
and that some their friends who bed &betels.' from
helping them up might see there way clear to alter
their opinions and come forward t • help them carry on
the education of the ishildrein of this Borough, woo
the same system they had • loptad for several years
pea.
Mr. Hodges vitiate us to etas that it did not
occur to him until after the meeting that, in estimat-
ing ths probablis School Board rate, he did not make
allowance for the Government grant and school pence,
which prods*. • oonsidersble amount, and this forme
a large portion of the income of the a:hoots. He had
not the slightest wish or intention to make any mis-
leading statement, and is therefore anxious to explain
that the estimate of Is. is, according to the figures,
excessive ; but it must not be loot sight of that the
LTMof the School Attendance Committee, alluded
. Chairman, would have to be provided for out
of the rate, and in the event of the establishment of •
School Board in this borough, the school buildings
would revert to Use trustee% and, in consequence, •
very heavy outlay in building would be Incurred, so
that,
to while it le difficult to arrive at any reliable
o on as the amount of a rate, it la evident that
• change in this system of education would be a
dangerous experiment, which the ratepayers should
very seriously consider before resolving on the desira-
bility of • leap in the dark.)
Mr. EDWIN &wry endorsed all that their
Treaetuer had said. With regard to three who were
advocates of Board Schools their worthy Treasurer had
told them that the work of education In the B wough
would cost a fie rata, both. should very much bke to

Mr. Davis: More than that.
Mr. grime moved the adoption of the report. He
had been on the committee for many years and awn the
working of the schools, and he thought whatever
opinions p•opis (Maids might have respecting School
Board. the schools could not be worked snore
economically than now. He felt sure the committee
exercieed as much economy as they could, and Use
management of the ichools was carried on to the satis-
faction of the Government inspectors. Be thought if
they were to have • School Board harem a great many
people seemed to think, it would boa gnat injury to
Us. town.
Mr. iiirmonsta D. Amor seconded the motion, which
was unanimously carried.

ItIitIONATION WITMOOTH RAT. COLLSOTOIL
—Mr. E. Martin, who has been assistant overseer for
Weymouth parish for 28 years, on Saturday last
resigned the offlos. Although • warm politician, and
never concealing his Conservatism, but rendering his
party all the stristance he fairly could, Mr. Martin
has always commanded the esteem of his fellow-
townstnem, even in his unthankful mhos of collecting
Guardiaus' rates, and he has seen those rates go
down to an average of Is. 6d. in the E., being less than
Is, for poor-rates. The work is very considerable,
Including the making of overseers' list, and the
collection includes that from • large number of very
poor, and frequently shifting people, there being only •
few large ratepayers—(and they are very large ones)—oo
the Weymouth side. Ton years ago Mr. Martin
tendered his resignation, but was then induced by •
rise of £lO a year to remain in office; his resignation
Is now, we believe, final. The salary is £4O a year, out
of which there are considerable expenses payable, and
It is said he recommends for his successor • salary of
SOS a year.

Arraign°. Surgoteuro • hisisegm—On Tuesday
lest, before W. Talbot, Esq., Dr. Drew, and J. E.
Robins, B. Hopkins, O. Collett, and J. Milledge,
&qrs., Mr. E. J. Brown, carpenter, builder, &a.,
was summoned by George Batrombe, his apprentios,
fur a breach of camerae' in not having taught him his
trade.—The Mister produce 1 the indentures, which
showed that he was to serve Mr. Brown for six vows
from the 13th January, 1880.—The apprentice 'wool
that Mr. Brown hal engaged to teach him the trade

properly; they had Made II few things new. but very
few; the wain portion of his work had been jobbing.
Bab* asked to say in what Mr. Brown had failed,
the apprentice said that when his master had not
enough work to do, kw had to go over in the garden
and out up herbs; &lento wash bottles in the herbalist's
sim.r. The man Jun of his work was jobbing about,
and for two or three days following he hat been
engaged in ths garden. They bad now a couple of
window sashes to make -the first since he hat been
titers, and Mr. Brown had also shown him bow to
make clothes boxe • boot-raek„ and a small bedstead.
Sometimes he stayed over in the garden all day,
sometimes three or four days a week, when there
Was no work in the carpenter's shop. Did not think
he knew as much as other boys who had been at the
trade two years, from what they had told him. Had
never seso doors or window, made, or a chest of
drawees.—ls answer to Mr. Collett: Mr. Brown had
not done the framework of • hones or even of a

admitted be had dose some donotailieg.—tir. Brown
said be bad taken • greet deal of troohla with
the boy. and brought him on.—Mr. Arden : Is
It your while to keep him ?—‘lr. Brown
said at present be had • great deal of work.
—Mr. Arden: The boy wishes to get away from your
service ; is it worth your while to keep an unwilling
apprenties?—Mr Brown said he wished to keep him
on ;heNW • great deal of work now. He had had
doors and window frames to do, and be now had a
sof the boy's work here, which Pa°d°°"°.

male, only ffig Brwa stood by him, and told him
what to do.—Dr. Drew: That was the place of the
master, to teach Collett said a guleciency of
that sort of work would do very well. —Mr. Brown
stated in reference to the pedeo, that he had given
the apprentice 11. for pocket motley, each time he went
to the garden, and It when he clesissd a pair of boots.
—Dr. Drew: You were not obliged to do that; the
oPloreathaf meet obey his master's ordero—Mr Brown
said that at the time when another person was about
to have his son bound, the gems as Besoolnlallj be told
them be did not do moth building now—The boy's
lather complained of his lad only learulair to make •
coffin now and then; they had not much new work
lately, may Jobbing. Mr. brown had not any journey.
Indio to tract the boy his tradm—Mr. 136scombe was

and Dr. Drew mislead the boy that be mit put up I

had been very great complaints egainst this boy, and
be thought it was in.de ths fault of the wente than
the boy. Notices had bona served, but no attention
had been given to them, therefore the Attendance
Committee applied to the Bench to commit the boy to
an Industrial &bouL The summons not having been
'Alluded to, bad owed the inoonvenienes of the
officers having again to be present to-day, and given
the magistrates the trouble of hearing the cape on
adjournment; but perhaps the time had not been
altogether wasted, for ths father is willing to tail,
steps to ensure the education of this boy, in twee he II
not seat to the Industrial School, and Mr. Gibbs had
undertaken /,/ look after the boy as far as it was
possible for him to de so. Mr. Blooper therefore
asked that the caw be not disonmed, but adjourned
for • month, to ascertain whether the f other would do
as he had promised.- MG Pickard said the boy bad

Mr. Masters, it will depend upon you to lived this boy

They strive to introduce into the churches the Banish

take possession of the house, end turn it upside

Green, he ouiild go out of prison, as the Archbishop of
York said, directly he obeyed the law. But the
association had lost money and friends to do away
with the system of incarceration, they could have put
llatikonuohle into gaol; but they wanted to deprive
such disobedient clergymen of their livings instead of
Imprisoning them. If an assistant were paid to serve

BRUTAL ABBAULT UPON A WOMAN.
examine Itivr.anOrt.
On Monday morning last, before Dr. Drew, J. B.
Robins, Req., and T. Alab..tt, Req., John Pearce, •
young Man who has bra • Lawlor on the liarbour
staging, and ha. been about here two years, was
brongot up charge! with assaulting • Mrs. Outer on
the Backwater bridge,
_and also for sesaulting Mr. F.
W. Pedgett„ of the Weymouth Pottery, on Sunday
night. —Mr. Padgett raid that about twenty minutes
to ten last night, he was prising George-street, when
he heard violent screams from the li scaweter Bridles.
Li. went there as fast as he Quaid, and found a women
on her knees, this man belebouring her, over the heed
with • stick, and blood streaming down her face He
collared the man, and pushed him back, when the man
struck at him, and struck him a violent blow under
the ear with his fist, on which, in selt-defence, witness
knocked the man down. He waited seven or eight
minutes for • policeman, and then, as none Caine, he
with the assistance of Dlr. Jesty, walked him off to
the p Are station. the woman ha lin the meantime got
up and bolted; she wee so much masked with blood that
he lid not thine he would be able to recognise her
egain.—Dr. Drew complimented Mr. Padgett on his
prairrorthy oondiact.—Mr. Padgett: It was only my
duty, eir.—Dr. Draw: quite true; it wee your duty,
and I wish every ems would iemember that he is
policeman on an emergency line this. —Mr. Padgett
said h. had had two similar cars on that brad4e bet re.
—Dr. Drew: Tn h.d ts..ttor be sworn in as a special
con.tatda —Mr. Padgett declined the office, with thanks.
—Being poonitted to cio sex amine, the prisoner said
whet Mr. Padgett had stated wee about right; but he
remit:ood the Bench that Mr. Padgett lad given him •
very severe blow, ku :king him clown.—He was
advised to reverse hi, defence.—Sergoant Apsey had
seen the woman, who was a Mn. Carter, and wr so
beaten about that she was unable to attend this morn-
Supt. Vickery auggested a remand, and
prisoner was remelt& d for the shor set time possible
for the woman to be able to att-n i—t Wearies lay
morning.—Mr. P. lets also expressed the praise ,if the
Bench to NIL Pad_ t for his c n loci, and remarked
they were all much obleed to him.
On Wednesday, at the Borough Court, before Dr.
Drew, T. atibot!, Esq., and J. E. Kober, %so , the
',mug man, Ge roe Pearce, was chairel on remand
with rewriting May Jane Carter an I Mr. Padgett.
Mrs. Carter appeared, very weak, and with two
black eye..
Mr. F. W. Padgett, potter and brick-maker, repeated
his evidence as ti hearing scr a.me and finding prisoner
attacking the woman with a stick. She was screaming,
her hands irere c .vering her face, which we. streaming
with blood. He collate I him with the left hued, aid
prisoner struck him in the jaw, and wi•nese knock oi
prisoner down, but allowed him to get up, mill retain-
bad his hold with hie left hand, telling him that it he
still pereisted in st iking he should knock him down
again, that he (witoess) was his LiteAter, an 1 if he
struck would punish him on the spot. Shortly af cr.
wards he struck at him again, and they had anotherstruggle, when witness again knocked him down. That
was according to promise; he promised him that.
(Laughter.) Mr. Jody saw the last blow struck, and
they brought him to the station. The stick was
covered with blood at the time. The woman dis-
appeared immediately after the reit me.
Cross-examined by Mr. alone, who appeared for the
defence: I wait doing my duty as a citizen of my
country. I have a slight mark of the blow, and the
place of the o• her is now very painful. I freely for-
gave him the first blow, ae I thought he was puuiehed
• itfic eutly. The woman had broil kneeling down. I
never remember seeing her previously, and I should
not have ku own her, but I described her. I believe I
a-kel Pearce the woman's name, but he d d not give it
me' he gave me his own. When I rescued the woman
ehe disappeared out of the door at the Bridge. She
di I not make any charge or complaint, or even pick
up my hat, which I thought unkind. It was about
semi-dark at the time. The stick was dropped in the
etrm,gle, and brought here by a by working for
Mr. Butt, jeweller; it was covered with b clod at the
time. It was semi-dark at toe time; light enough to
identify any object, and I disluctly swear to the
stick ; it came into the gm light once. The boy
brought two—a, dark brown one, and this light one.
Heard no talking, only I .u.l and sudden screams,
which were loco-sant until I arrived on the spot.
Prismer said not •ing partied tr ; he asked me if!
would take anything to drink, to make it up. The
woman vanished so quickly that I expect she was glad
to getaway; so would you if you ha I been there. The
wo uan's face was covered with darted eking blood. I
held the mai very tight and told him if he got away,
beet have to hays the collar in my hand. I am sot
disposed to run away when I beer a woman crying,
though I was somewhat a,todishe 1. I thought the
assault was rather a mur Irons one.
By Mr. Drew I saw th • man ft rurishing • stick;
eh .uted as loud as I could, to stop the blows.
Tin ad saw the woman on Monday, and found
her eyes completely *why mom —(bl sckened). She
hal an abrasion on the bridge of the noes, and the
upper lin was swol en. She c ,mpla ned of soreness
an I 'Whirs tee b th shoulders, but there were no
marks. She was suffering severely from headache.
The assault most certainly have been a were one;
but I could not tell b we it was produced, such • stick
as that produced might have cannel the injuries, or
they might have be-n aelf-infii t,l.
•oss-eziunine 1 : If a p-rs n coming from Rock
Tavern, tophsavy an I blun I, re I against a gate, the
injuries would have been m ire remind. Laceration
would most likely not be produce! ; but contusions;
probably the blood came from then wtriL I was sum-
moned by the p dial-este...tot, not the woman. Ihe
w onto does not appear to be in any danger.
Mr. Albert B. Jetty on Sunday evening about 20
minutes to 10 s tw Mr. Padgett and the or:s mer on the
Backwater Bridge. Mr. Pa igint irked me if I knew
the man, and can lord the prisoner not to strike again
or he would "land him one, when prisoner steno( •
violent blow in the face of Mr. Padgett, who knocked
him down. Witness orbital to take prisoner to the
station. The boy from Mr. Butt', brought to the
station witness's stick ani another.
Cross-examined : Held prisoner tight enough net
to let him get away, and Mr. Stark also assisted to
got him to the station. AB to whether lie thought it
singular the woom e went away, he thought she might
have been very much frightened.
Sergeant Delaosout said on Sunday night at 10
o'clock, prisoner was brought to the station by Ur.
Pa limit and Mr. Jeety, charged with assaulting Mr.
Pa lima and a woman on the Backwater Bridge. Two
sticks were produced at the station. and Mr. Padgett
identified the one produced ea prisoner's stick.
Mrs. Mary Jule Carter, wife of John Carter. roes
feebly, and was allowed to sit in a chair while she
gave evidence. She met prisoner about eight on
Sunday evening at the Nit of the Backwater Bridge,
and walked over the Bridge halfway, when they met
Mr. Dune's gardener. They went next to the Rack
Tavern, and had something to drink, she left them
there and came back by herself. Just as she got on the
Bridge Pearce overtook her, and asked if she was
horrying home to wait on the soldiers, sad she bid
him nothing particular, more than she waited on him
whilst he was lodging at her house; she did her best
to please everybody. lie replied that she would
oblige the sailor, but she would never oblige him,
continued—" You shall never wait on them again,"
and struck her with the knob of his stick. She only
felt One blow, and did not resoling how she got home
Pearce was in drialr at the time, or she did not think
he would have done it. She was now suffering from
pain in the head. Had never received any blows any-
where else, and only had • sip out of a glass of bier for
friendship.
Cross-ermined: I met prisoner by accident. I was
going to see Mrs. Seaways, of Janne-court, but
the house, and went to the foot of the bridge,
ed
because Pearce called to her—" Is that you, Mrs.
Carter I" It wee a beautiful moonlight night. During
Sunday afternoon I sent my little girl to tall prisoner

THE ENGLISH REFORMATION.
A numerous audience gathered at the Royal Hotel
on Tuesday evening to beer the Bev. Dr. Concenon
lecture, in connection with the Church Amo,ciation, on
"Lb. English Reformation." The meeting had to
contend with the oompeution of • at St.
Mary's schoolroom, and • gathering for the choir at
Christchurch, yet it was not only enthusiastic, but
large. Among thou s presant were Bev. T. A.
Uttley, vicar of St. Joan's, Portland, chairman; Dr.
Smith, J.P., Dr. Moorhead, Mr. W. B. Barrett, hon.
sec. of this branch ; tie. Bowden Payne, Miura-
warden ; Rev. L N. (lady% Bev. Moule, Mr.
Padgett, Mr. Tidwell, Mr. Doswell, Mr. Upward?,
Mr. Butt, &a, Ito. "Bock of Agee Cleft for Me

me first sung" •
The Rev. CHAIRMAN assured the audience it was
with no small degree .4 pleasure that he found himself
presiding over a meeting convened by an association
the progress of which he had watched with the 'cutest
inter,st ever since it had been founded, he roistered to
the Church Association. He was glad that, after a
long pariod of rest, which ought not to have
been given or taken, the Weymouth branch had.
been rouse I from its lethargy. Its object must commend
itself to every right-minded man, every lover of God's
Holy Word. He could nut tell how any lover of the
Church of Christ, certainly any lover of the
Church of England, could withhold hie support from
the Church Association. It wad formed some 16 years
ego in consequence of the rise and progress of
an organised attempt to un-Oroteeenntian the enure,
of England; that attempt the Evangelical section .4
the church determioed by God's help to resist to the
very utmost of their power, ant some clergymen and
laymen formed themselvei into a committee, and
determined to do all they could to uphold tbe Protest-
ant character of the church, to uphold the doctrines
and principles, and order of the United Church of
England and Ireland, and to counteract the efforts
now being made to prevent her teaching oo fawn ial
Points of the Christian faith and order, and assimilate
her to the Church of Roane. What possible harm was
there in forming this aesociationl None whatever. If
any man told him that the Church of England ought
to be Remedied, or that the Romanising now going
on ought to be let alone, he should net mete his hi each
ea that man; there was no ground in common
between them. But every right-minded member of
the Church of England will tell us it was a work
positively neceses,y, and that the association bed
proved itself a deistice of the Church of England.

u The
Itonianis-
ing sectiou of the Church of England declared they
were the loyal iikonbers of the church, and that they
wen acting withio the lines of the church, an I their
eery bolanase cause I them to have many follower,; be
thought some bishops of the church b Hued them—
(hear, hear)—and it was 4 that time the Churcn
Association determined to test the position of the
Church of England. The cases of hfackonochie,
Bennett, and others were triel, and all with
wonderful moons, that is t 3 say, the Ritualists
were condemned in almost every ceremonial
innovation, and the sacerdotal theory of the
Loris Supper was entirely c .nderoned. By these
trials and judgments the Protestant nature of the
Prayerbook. and the Proteartane character of the
Church of England was fully established. He granted
the association had to do its work und-v many
difficulties • it was maligned, and three who eight to
have supported it stood aloof from it ; there were
those who like Ed= in the day of his brother's
trouble, would not hold up their finger to help ; there
were timid Evangelicals, who said that Mackonochie,
Bennett, and others, all ought to be left alone. But
he was glad to eay the association, although it has
been working under a fearful fire all the time, has
done no single thing of which it ought to be aehamee.
Its object ii to maintain the Protutent character of
the Church of England, and the meeting that night
was to listen to their able lecturer, who had ,enne
down to lecture on the English Reformation. Twee
are the doctrines we will stand up for to the last—
the doctrioes of the English Reformation. (Applenue
Dr. Conoutoe is an elderly stout clergyman, with a
slight suspicion of Irish accent when he gets eni husi-
astir. He thanked the chairman for relieving him of
the defence of the Church Aresciatiou, and addressed
himself at once to the lecture on the "The Foglia
Reformation." The Church of England was not
formed but reformed, in the 16th century, fo, Kadand,
we believe, was visited by the ap *ties, and Tertullian
and others tell us the British Islands were subject to
Christ. After the battle of lons, year 55 of the
Christi= era, Oaractacus was tsk-n to Rime co everted
through Pent, with his daughter Claudia and Pudens
whom she marled, and they lir= iu Loud a, so that
there was an English chorch many centuries before
the Reformation. Emancipation does not make the
roan, but it sets him free, and though the wst-r of the
Tbames be fouled at Lon lon, it is the same stream as
rose in the Cotorolcehills. So the Englieh church was
the same church as she wu at the =um, th iugh she
had to go through the filter of the reformat al. For
300 years the church of Christ had no visible sign,
then two crossed lines were introduced, then • lamb
at the foot of the crow, then a man looking at the
lamb, until at last the man was put on the cross, as if
deal, and hence the crtedfix. Little by little the
sites were introduced, and obscured God's simple
truth. For instincts. first there was the Ap Atlas'
Creed, not that they wrote it, but embodying what the
apostles taugot, then the Nicene, with which the
Council of Trent opened, and afterwards the Romish
Creed of 12 articles of Pape Pitu IV. This was
answer= by the English 39 articles forming an
embodiment of Christian truth, and showing we are
catholic. That word mean. universal, and must never
be given up to Rome. The state of England just
before the Reformation was that of 4,000,000 people
with 16,000 clergymen and 15,000 monks and nun., but
darkneas, eke and immorality so prevailed that it
showed all the tioclesimitioal machinery is not enough
to keep spiritual life in • people. The Bibles cut £35
each, and only in religious houses were there any, a.
that it was thought hard of Hugh Lstimer to require
every clergyman to have a New Testament. The
foundation of the Reformation was laid on the
Word of Owl; but the priests had satisfie I
them before with genuflexions and processions, the
lower clergy being ignorant,
_though the highest held
the best offices of State. Harry VIII. sent a com-
mission to find out whether the monasteries were
teaching religion •, but at Bury St. Fedmunds the
feature was exhibiting the bole and toenails of St.
Edmund; at Reading an ang.l with one wing and the
body of St. Laurence; in Kent an image which
appeared to be alive, frowning at coppers, relaxing at
silver gifts, and smiling at gold, and it wail found tot's
hollow, and worked with wires. William Tyndale's
New Testament embodied the secret of the R,f ems-
lion, and Hugh Latimer petitioned Hle for
an open Bible. The Western eche= helped to weaken
Rome'. power, two Popes, rivals, and 'apposed
by their pasty infallible. were chosen, and then a
third, all quarrelling, and each declaring he was right.
From the Reformation we gained the open Bible and
the Praterbook, which teaches the Bible is to be the
rule. Prayerbooks before were different in each
diocese; there was the "use' of Sarum. the "use" of
Hereford. all reduced to on.. That was reformed, and
now it is in accordance with the Bible. Protestantism
stands on the Bible as the rule of faith. Pops Pins's
creed admits tradition; but you cannot gather the
meaning of the fathers, or even their work/ =lam you
filled • furniture van, and they all differ. Ritualists
seer Protestantism built On the Bible is a house built
oaths sand, and that which will make the Church firm
Is Apostolic tradition. Difereit reformations had
different keynotes; that of Ragland was against
the corporal presence of Christ at the Lord's table.
Ridley, Creamer and Latimer were burnt for denying
the Objective Presence, that is, for denying that when
the priest went through the form the bread was
actually changed into the body of Christ, and WM no
more breed, except as a thermion of the senses. This
doctrine also demanded • sererdos. or sacrificing
Et and ritualists believe in trananbetantiation—
arl Dr. Coommoll)—and in the secritieing priest.
Net a single article maintained by Ultramontane
Popery exists that Ritualism has not embraced—said
tie lecturer. There is incremental confession, the
thing to be abhorred of Englishmen and all mew
—that a priest should know more of the mind of
a wife than her huband dote, or of the husband
than is known by the wife. And the questions
that they dare to ask • married man and a married
woman, nay to ask young men and young girls, even
children of six years old, patting into their mind,
thoughts they had not conceived before, the very
