CHURCH OF ENGLAND SERVICES.
To the &Mtr of the" Observer."

Sin—At the Church Congress held in Liverpool, the
Rev. Dr. Blakeney said "It has ever him n found that
beyond a certain point. As ceremonialism increases, pure
devotion declines. Let the true ideal of our Church be
carried out ; let the people in our pariah churches take
their share in the service by response, and to this end let
the tone be natural, and the psalmody congregational.
Much has been said, and justly, against the duet of par-
, son and clerk ; but, perhaps, more can be urged against
' the duet of parson and choir. The highest form of wor-
ship is that in which ministers and people join aloud in
prayer and praise. It is this which is really attractive."
I would commend these words.to the careful consider-
ation of all church clergyman-Who may happen to read
them. It is sadly indicative of the .1.-ter ioration of the
English Church, so far as regards its minister., that there
was considerable interrurtion of Dr lillikeney. especially
when he described the effect of Roman Catholic service*
both in England and on the Continent ; and that when
be asserted that the people of England were warmly at-
tached to Protestantism, there were loud cries of " Oh
Oh ! " and " laughter."
We further learn that when he sal& "If they permit.
jet! the Mass. they would lose the masses." there was
" much laughter." But it is satisfactory to hear that
there were also •` loud cheers."
I am, Sir, yours truly,
