of Mr. Archibald Boyd, of Paddington, to the Dupery

when Lord Shaftesbury was suffered to ding the highest
dignities of the church to the least deservieg of the

TEE MARTYRS' MZIMOSIAL AT OITORD, Olt ACIDIC
THI ARMIN! Or CRANIUM., LATIMER, AND RIDLEY.
—We have no wish to press the point, or to award to
Elisabeth's victims the bottom of martyrdom, for we
should deem it a prostitution of the Victoria Cross
were it given to every policeman who behaved with
energy in a street row, so we regard the title of
`• martyr" as far too noble a one to be eonceded to those
who merely happened to be on the weaker side in times
lor political squabbling and religious strife. Of course
there is • debased sense of the word "martyr,*
which general consent recognises as possible., and DO
one finds knit with persons who shoes Sassy of them-
selves or friends that they are martyrs to the gout or to
the toothache. And all we eoetend for is this, that the
term "martyr" does not in any true sense belong to
those to whom it is commonly applied, and that such
monuments as the so-called "Martyrs' Memorial" at
Osford should be regarded merely in the light of silent
witnesses to the majesty of the law, and thus on • per
with that other limp of stones which indicated to
posterity the rime where Aohan suffered in days of ~Ids
—Church Times. Commenting on the foregoing
paragraph, the Daily News says:—" Anglican bishops
write books to deplore the Reformation as a schism ;
°harsh newspapers traduce their (the martyrs') personal
character; and aseocietions are openly formed to undo
their work. It is no wonder that to these people the
Martyrs' Memorial ia a sandal and an offence. They
might, however, bear it with a little more patient., than
they do, especially while they cement to remain members.
of the Reformed Church of England, and to eat its bread.
There is no mistaking the school in which this
style was learned. Unbelievers have pointed to write
thus virulently against Christianity, and Romeo
Catbolies do tot thus abuse Protestants. It is the
ribaldry of Voltaire edapted to the use of the youngest
of church parties. The blindness of the fanaticism
which compares Schen —the type of the bad and *elfish
who for the sake of a IFlabylonish garment and
apices of gold brings woe upon his people—with men
who gave up life itself rather than renounce their eon-
victions, is conspicuous enough. But let it be noticed
how thoroughly admiration for Rome can obliterate
the manly sentiments natural to an Englishman.
When a petty has got to reverence the "majesty of
the law" in executions in the name oUreligion, there is
no depth of slavery to which it will not be easy to
betray the country. It is • serious thing that such a
party should be raMdly gaining ground among the,
national church. If, however, they are to remain in
the Church of Englsnd, they must of neoessity destroy
the credit of the Reformers. Their hatred of Creamer
shows that they have not forgotten the last words he
@Admired to those who tame to see bin, die—' And es
for the Ps I refuse him as Christ's enemy, sad Anti-
christs.aad all his false decides.' "
