PROPOSED EITEN:SIO.N .OF THE
EPISCOPATE: '•

A
committee has been appointed for the 'purpose of
Circulating a declaration which has been prepared, urging
an immediate increase in the episcopate in England,and,
Wales, and which kas already received the signatures of
upwards of 4,000 clergymen. The declaration is to the;
following effect:—
" We, the undersigned clergy of the United Church
of England and Ireland, thankfully acknowledge the
increase of zeal and activity which has of late been
shown in the Church of England, but. deplore that her
energies are greatly hindered by the want of an episco-
pate at all adequate to the present spiritual needs of
the people. Whereas, the population of England• and
Wales has increased daring the last 300 years from
about 4,Q00,000 to nearly 20,000,000; and. whereas
the present number of the clergy is about 18,000—
and it ,is calculated that they are increasing at
the rate of 300 a year—the number of bishops has
remained the same with the addition of one only..ye
believe that opportunities of more frequent personal
intercourse between a bishop and the clergy and laity of
his diocese, .and the more frequent administration of the
holy rite of confirmation would tend to infuse new life
and vigour into the church, and to promote unity,
consistency, and efficiency in the labours of those who
are working for the salvation of souls; and, judging as
well, from the experience of former ages as from the
happy results which have attended the extension of the
episcopate in the British colonies, we confidently antici-
pate• similar advantages from the extension of the
episcopate at home. We desirg, therefore, hereby ;to
express- out earnest hope that measure may speedily be
adopted for the adequate extension of the episcopate in
England and Wales."
