GREAT MISSIONARY MEETING AT
SALISBURY.
ADDRESSES BY SIX BISHOPS.

We beg our readers to give their 'serious riltentiin to
the episcopal field-day of which we give the following
asocrunt. Amidst a very copious interchange of
Initiation, which in called on the northern side of the
Tweed "(taw me, eaw thee," the most remarkahle per-
formance, no doubt, Is the address of the ilpiewpal
gentleman from New York. fie says that "He mine
to .eie how the Bishop of Salisbury exercised the duties
of hospitality in his own home," and evidently ho had
fully appreciated that hospitality. which may MC .cut
for the somewhat uproarious manner in which his moat
incoherent speech was received. And so astonished wee
he at his own eloquence, or at the 1101110111 effect
of it, that he actually sat down before be lid
finished bis sreeeh, and had to rise twain to
rspeat the remarkable words of another A m.rican
Mahon, "I want to see the Hilltop of Salisbury."
A friend of ours Pomo years ago, was governor of one
of oar smaller colonies, and when he returned home,
be was asked by the Colonial Secretary, how he had
managed to keep his colony in such a perfect state of
peace sod contentment. He replied that his secret wag
"Champagne, plenty of CluallPegne." no hut it you
ere hound to support and cheer the man that "keeps a
cook" and dines you, and while this New Yorker
stuttered out his overfiowing affection for every
pigeon present, the hundred parsons, Rural Deana
and others, were serried away with enthusiasm.
Evidently the Bishop of Oxford felt • little ashamed of
his crompany, when he warned them against "eating
and drinking," or perhaps be might be thinking of the
euteptuaus repast at the Popish baronet's in the Isle of
Wight, from which he wont forth to utter that
motorbus 1100•011110 about Sunday schools. We
trust that the Pam• Anglican Synod will hold
Ito meetings before dinner, or that the hoggi'elitY
will not be too abundant. But let not the Bishop
of Salisbury for • moment inteigine that such an
exhibition as this will in the kast degree neutralise the
effect of the bite Proteetamt meeting at Saliabury. It
will only deepen the disgust of all intellibent laymen.
and put them in mind perhaps of Huron's "Holy Fair,'.
" Thare's some ore fou' o' love &vibe,
There's some are fou o' broad)."
Audit will teach us that, if the American Epiesopal
Cherish is to he judged by the specimen exhibited at
Salisbury, the less we have to do with it the better, and
that if the Church is left in the hand. of Bishops, with.
out the wholesome reetreintol the influence of the State,
her doom is steeled.

! Th.- Si-hop of C•pstown dwelt at souse length upors
his troubles with ths Bishop of Natal (Dr. Co' looso),
! and said he found the poison eximing in -Oath Africa

I the iiifideli•y spreading at boo. and in eh. ofoolso dose
not more to its foundation the 0011•0e.200011 of the Entliiils
people. There ...mod to liim to be two things as far as
the Colonial Church was concerned, and so far as his
own province won ooneernod, which were binding upon
the oonmionos of the Clan-oh of England at this presnot
tim •' sod one thing was that this Clough .hould not
merely by the voices of its private members, but
I authoritatively and altogether distinctly as a Church. sm
, Shit it bolds no communion with him who had fallen
away from Um faith, and taught throughout his former
dio me th.t which they and the whole Church held to
be f idol heresy. That seen.ed to him to be one thing
which it was essential should be dont if the Church of
Rtsgtand was to he dear from all complicity with barmy.
A• other thing was that it ehoulil give the right hand of
bll ',chip cother to hire who bad been elects 1 to he tbe
(stars bishop of those who were unable to reado him
, who had been deposed as having authority from Ciotti,

had a duty to the Church and • duty to Christ his lord,
and that, happen what would, he must say what ha had
' in his heart to eity what be was deeply convinced of.
He should be moot deeply grieved it he shoul I again
have to go forth from this lend without having distinct
testimony and • distinct declaration on the part of the
whole Church, that it hold. no communion with him
who had been separated from her oonimonion because
of griovos. betray; and that they were ready to give
the right hand of fellooship to any faithful p stor who
should he selected to tbat important field of labour. He
• woe sore that there were some there whom: hearts were
f listing within them because they had not received
I ilia support from their brethren at hoots which they
I felt they were entitled to look for.
The Dean of Cork referred to the throalcood separa-
tion of the Irish Church from the State, and, compariag
the union to • marri.p, earnestly orproomed a hope that
if there must he • divorce, the Mato would give back, if
not the dowry of wealth, at hint the dowry of freedom
and of self control. He should then have no fear for
Lb. future, for if the (lurch was imoriveriabled by the
divorce also would not be disgraced. Even for • Church
so deprived of wealth sod endowments there might he •

, there might be • faithful ar.d • success-
ful testimony, bringing about greater moult' in time to
soma then might ever spring from misapplied and
wasted wealth. He believed that the Church In Ireland
the church In the colonies, and possibly the great,
powerful, and pro.perone Chao& in England. might yet
have to try the hone whether or no union with the Soto
was iocomnatileite with faithfulness to God, with
testimony to the truth of Christ, end of preserving and
spreading that truth.
Mr. C. Roikes, Qs i., briefly addressed the meeting
in support of the claims of India to the labours of our
niiimionaries, and pa tag a high tribute to the energy
