"Tn. Bolls/IMO llirOSMATlOn."—This IVY the
subject of a highly instructive and interesting lecturo
delivered at the 'I emplar Hall, on Tossed.), to ht, ly
the Bev. Dr. Edershenn, D. P.. vicar of Loitero, under
the sus, ic s of the Young Men's Christian Association.
The presid, nt of the society. T. Beach, Esq., presided,
supported by C. Edmunds. t-easurer. The *Alois ion
was free, a collection being made at the clues in aid i-f
the Society's fund. The lecture was scarcely o. IV II
attended as it should have b--en: rise discourse was
--aphically given, showiot: how the refit oat: in 054
.a in Bt Hein and novel iu It hermit, whi.dt c .uot.y
proved the c utr.i and f me of lis movement. The
severity exercised by the it man Catholics ovtr the
churches of the Bohemians induced them in V 77 to
seek relief from tLe Pope, and their grievances were
in t art redressed. 1)i-spot:eh however. 01 ~ii broke out
again, and thosucoeeding levee exerted all their power
to fetter their prejudices on the minds of the Bohe-
mians, and the latter zealously Mama at the preserva-
tion of their religious liberties. The martyrdom of
J.din Huse and Jerome of Prague (two great men
brought to the light of truth bj studying the doctrines
of our c ,untryman, Wickliffe, and who, like the
morning star of the reformation, first burst from the
k night of popish error, illuminating the surround-
ing world), not only increased indi.nation in the
rebdmers, but gave animation to their noble cause.
These two men were condemnad by order id the Con-
stance C ui.cil,althoughofif the principal Bohemian
nonility lute pond in their favour. They were never-
theLss burnt, rood the Pope oreLreil the it omish clergy
to excommunicate sil who adopted their opinions or
pitied !kir foie. Of course a violent j ersecution
followed, and all who hay' read the faithful works of
that eclectic divine, John Fox need not the recapitu-
lation of tie enormit es that [...Bowed. It
should be remembered that Huss desired no more than
the 'Oda of a reformer • but in 1400 an accusation
was rateci against him, de was ex-ounnuuicateil, and
the expulsion from hia church at Prague induced him
to retire to Husseuitz, his native tram, but he did not
sue-Allah to Godless wcumution. The teachings of
Huss kept pee with Vlore of the Pope. Although
hues at this time still held errors, Lee had grounued
and fundamental truths which would have swept
away the °Lurch of Bum., and in its place substitute
something better. In 1414, Ly order of the Suspend-
of Germany, he appeared before the Council of on'
stance, when Paletz and Michel de Cowie prosecuted
on behalf uf the Cour; tf Rome. The following is a
sample of the ground on which this infamous trial was
conducted:—" An evil and wicked Pope is nit the
suommor of Peter, but of Judas." Huse fearlessly
pointed out what should constitute the character of a
true vicar of Christ. For this he was cast into a
loathsome dungeon. Again he was brought to mock
trial, and the man who VIM dubbed the "ringleader of
heretios" was unsuledued, and by his example astonished
and troubled the consciences of his accusers. His books
were consumed at tin) gates of the church, and Huss
himself burnt at the stake as a herstsc in the suburbs
of Constance. Luther's work long after proved an
electric shock to the anti-Christiens, and the reign of
Ferdinand I. was one of persecution. He endeavoured
to crush Proteritantism in Germany, but political
events prevented him doing as much mischief as he
wished. But whilst the glorious light of the Gospel
was gradually it, reading over every part of the con-
tinent, many thousands fell victims and martyrs to
superstitious malice and barbarous bigotry. Upon the
ascendamj of Ferdinand IL the tire of persecution
spread, and for 30 years the same was one of unparal-
leled crime. Then came the rebellion in Bohemia,
for the natives having been deprived of their liberties,
what has been the result? Bohemia, ceasing to be
a country, became a province of the Austriao Empire.
