mooed before the Blaekborn magistratee on the charge
of misapplying the sum of 18.. belonging to the

of the eociety'r fend* (at the rate of 2d. a member, for

him that be had refused to enter an account of that
description in the bunks, and salting his Wylie as to tie

application of the funds in the grey stated is punishable

Tsg Manor or Cummings AND Bargroi, Or
CHURCH MAITIRL —On Thorsday morning the Bishop
of Gloucester and Bristol held his visitation in Glou-
meter Cathedral. Morning prayer WAS said at eight
o'clock, and the mid-day Nereids Wu coueegeenuy the
Holy Communion alone. The Bishop, In his charge,
regretted the prevalence of dissent, but believed that
the best remedy was by showing greater earoestnoes in
church work, and in greater fidelity to our own church
doctrine and syetern. That, trimming creeds would
bring Dissenters back, was, he thought, • delusion.
With respect to ritualism, he had no objection in itself
to a distinctive vestment for Holy Communion ; but he
deprecated, on the one band, Lord Shaftesbury's Vest-
ment Bill, which would have led to • schism, and onto.
other, the wanton extravagance of the more advanced
Ritualists. He rested his hopes on the moderation
and 30410 H sense of the great Anglican party.

tion of the dumb and state, will speedily and insvitahlr

corning the same by lawful authority." (2.) That the

The fundamental mistake of the
sermon was, in my opinion, the driving of so distinct
• line of demarcation between the duties of religion
and those of ea cry-day life. Working to get towel and
going to church were the only occupations recognised.
and the great lesson of the address was, as far ail
could gather, that what the world wants above every-
thing else is lees work and more church-going. The
fact (for such I take it to be) that religion is not so
moth • particular set of duties to be performed, as •
something which has to do with the performance of all
duties, was ignored. Everything outside the church
door (chapel door., of course, were not mentioned) was
worldly, all within it spiritual ant heavenly.—
