CELIBACY IN THR CHURCH 0t
in his last letter to the Timm, makes the following
statement :—" A young lady, mese years sine*, came
under Um influence of a director or confemor of the
Church of England. He obtained a complete amenadascy
neer her. She, before him, took a vow of celibacy for
two years, unknown to her parenta An ascot suarrige
was made to liar, with their approval. Then was are
commotion of her marrying until after the time of ban
roe should aspire, but era thaw she had scruple*
unless her director would give his mashes; this, lee*
when seliaited by her parent., he refused to do. The
molt was she r.maoaad eing/a, died so, and the retie
-
man who wished to marry her joined the Emma Church.
This same director, in another ems, took an oath of
celibacy from a young lady; he afterwards alwolved her
and she married a clergyman. In another ease, it is sot
clear he took the oath or vow from the lady, but she
went to his for absolution from it, was absolved, and i•
at present living. I treat a happy married woman." I
bring forward these masa, not as at all believing
are unoninmow, hut bemuse proofs of their truth have
been afforded me, and in such masa, we may easily
suppose, it Is difficult, as Um rule, for many mamma tO
get the truth. Permit ma to ask Dr. Peery if he can
plead ignorance of such oases as the above? lobe pre-
pared to defend any clergyman of the Established
Church in the exereies of tLe authority he may gain over
young ladies as their soofsmor and director, in, unksown
to their parents, aiding them to bind themselves by
Tows, or oaths, or whatever the praises may be, to
celibacy, or, indeed, to any one swine of life which shall
hold them tied by such vow, until the pried chooses to
release theta? Can be justify the holding • young
lady to snob vow against toe will of their parents wbaa
It hommes knows to them? I believe he will seek to
justify it. I eanoot doubt, with the /widow I bays
before me, that in the lirM of Ilse three mass, if not in
all the others, he—Dr. Parey—was to. sonlessor or
director who acted as I have described.
