TH F. A UCH DISH OP'S
To the Editor, of th. Record.

May I thank you for your articles on the Archbishop's
Bill, and cApeclally for one happy expression in one of
them, which seems to sue to describe the whole case as
" putting all the clergy in irons because • few disloyal
Ritualists defy the law." A former Tutor of Trinity, with
whom I was conver•ing on it, agreed with you that the
weakest part of our eivlesiastical position now is the
status of the parochi.d clergyman. It has licon so grossly
alms.' by the Ritualistic rowdies elm infest our
venerable Church just now, that it etands in considerable
danger. A proposal is on foot for establishing an
" Incumbents Rights Protection Society," in order to
prevent the complete destruction of that which has
always limn considers,' a Mast valuable part of our system,
and suggestions on the subject in your columns would
be valuable, As Li the Diocesan courts, may I remind our
Evangelical brethren that when St. Paul had to decide as
to which In. w,u1.l In. tried by, a civil or an Ecclesiastical
court, he unhesitatingly appealed unto Ciesiar. Such
c0urt...... the Itill contemplates would be well adapted to
shield the bias of the Bishop behind "assessors," who
would bear the °ilium of giving legal force to the petty
verdicts of the clique id subservbnt friends who generally
forni a .11 of Bishop's bodyguard. Already this akin.
has, as usery body knows, paramount influence in ahnost
every diocese. Government by gossip may be, as is
asserted, au Episcopal necessity, but gu•wip carried out by
aequestration would soon ',lunge us in the ditch.
