THE BORDESLEY WAFER.
Sir—The Archbishop of Canterbury; has himself
"reverently consumed" the wafer-god which has raised
what some call" the &Husky Scandal ; and others,wlth
greater reason," the Bordesby Blasphemy." By this act
his Grace, in my opinion, has driven a long nail into the
coffin of our Proteotant Reformation, which, as far as if..
Church of England is cone-rued, was dying before quite
fast en iush too slum her friends and rejoice her enemies.
Before hie Greer committed himself to this unexampled
action. may I ask, did be prayerfully consider the
consequence' thereof I Did he remember that, humanly
speaking, tens of thousands of the souls of our young and
uninformed fellow-countrymen and women asuannually
being sacrificed wholesale on the altar of this wet, r false
godl Did he calmly forecast what this compromise lea
Ritualistic direction would reoult lot Let it he
remembered that this wafer, stamp A with the trademark
of the Roman energise's, is neither the body nor any
portion of the body of our Lor& nor is it really the sign of
It . The bread which we break is the sign of Christ's dear
body broken on the cross of Calvary for us. But the
Illegal and unallowed wafer, which the Ritualist priest
prosecute, is neither the one nor the other. Try the
question in whatever court you please, in that of the
Bible, or the Prayer-b ook or the law of the
land, it is • elan not .of the precious flesh
of Christ, but of that grand apostacy "whose beginning is
the infallibility of man, and whose end is to be burnt."
This apostecy is the handiwork of the areampostate, of
whom our Local says "Ti, see of your father the Devil"
