REV. T. WEAVE ON THE DISESTABLISH.

11ENT CONTROVERSY.

The Rev. T. Naive, in an after-dinner speech at
the autumnal meeting of the Dorset Association of
Congregational Churches at Portland last week re-
ferred to the new departure which the State Church
Controversy had taken, and referred with the greatest
satisfaction to the late Church Congress, and also the
meetings of the Congregational Union at Birmingham.
In speaking of the Church Congress generally, Mr.
Naive said that as • Nonconformist be hailed with '
the greatest satisfaction and interest the manifest
evidence of splendid intellectual power in the leaders
of the Church of England to cope with the tremendous
force of unbelief and scepticism which the Christian
Church was now face to face with, and which, as the
Bishop of Peterborough said, was the real burning
que•tion of the age; he was also pleased and glad to
acknowledge the great religious influence which are
evidently at work in the Church of England, which
are giving to that Church unquestionably a foremost
place amongst the religious bodies of the country.
These acknowledgements be made in the most frank
and ungrudging spirit, and expressed the most earnest
desire for fuller co-operation and goodwill as between
the Church of England and the Nonconformists. He
had no need to explain his position on this great con
borers,' as between Churchmen and Dissenters; but
this he must be allowed to say, that he had always
looked at this question on religious grounds, and had
wished to be influenced by religious motives; and if
the evangelisation and Christianising of this country
amid be better effected by an Establishment he was
there to my that he would cease to contend against
It. His supreme object was, and had been, the exten-
sion of religion in the land. He hailed with great
satisfaction the action of the Nonconformists of
Leicester in presenting an address of welcome to the
members of the Church Congress, and he was bound
to my that that address WM an cordially received as
It was given. In that address the Nonconformists
acknowledge their obligation to the Church of Eng-
land, for her sainted members, her sacred poets, and
her distinguished theologians—some of the greatest
theologians of our day being members of that Church;
there was also a feeling expressed for further and
cordial recognition of each others labours, and a
desire to work together as far as possible. With that
spirit, oontinued Mr. Neave,l most oordially eym path Ise,
and mold wish much to see a closer union between
these two great religious bodies. lam prepared to do
everything In my power to forward such an object;
and while each party will doubtless abide by their own
distinctive principles, there is no lemon why this spirit
of christian charity and goodwill should not be more
fully exemplified. We may depend upon it the needs
of the times demand this, and with our other conten-
tions the great mass of the people have little sympathy,
being only too indifferent to religion altogether. The
times demand a more cordial and Christian recognition
of each other, and, Ma Nonconformist, lam prepared to
promote by every possible means its attainment.
