KILBURN ORPHLNAGE.
TO the lideor.
you will allow me to trespass upon your valuable
'Pace, I should Ilk* to draw the attention of your readers
to a few facts ooncerning the "Kilburn Orphanage of
Mercy," the fonds of which have been augmented by the
Harvest Thanksgiving Alum of Bothenhanipton. hi•iw it
Is not long since that the " parish priest," Rev. E. J.
Towne, whom ritualistic proclivities have been a subject
for discussion, industriously waisted the work of •
"Mission," the object of which was viewed with co little
suspicion by many Protestant Churchmen, and a large
number of clergy. I well remember attending several of
the services, and was painfully impressed by the ritualistic
and esmi.papistical observances and ceremonies so entirely
unlike the simple and unoetentatious minbitration of
the late and respected Rev. W, P. Bennett. Various wore
the alterations made in the sacred edifice, no doubt
to meet the requirements of ritualism; and Indeed,
I may say, that never in • provincial ohurch have
I witnessed (within the pale of the established
church), servicess so indecently conducted. The moo-
teary was filled with Use carious, and many were
the adverse criticisms on those who assist d In the
ceremonies. It was at this time (February, 18710 that
the disgusting pamphlet known (not universally thank
God) as " A help to r•peetanne was published." The
dangerous doctrines that paroplet iutanded to propagate,
and which, worst of all, was deigned for the use of
children, were condemned hy all right thinking Protestant
Churchmen as at onus damnable and indecent, contrary
to the spirit of the Prayer Book, and, above all, contrary
to Holy Writ, These so-called 'Missions" conducted by
ritualistic Churchmen, have met with the reward thy
deserve, for in spite of the personal exertion, of the
clerics who took part in them they signally failed in their
eb=and so great was the scandal at the time that
of the old adherents of the church left it in
disgust Last month, at the Harvest service, mi appeal
was made to the congregation in aid of the Orphanage
I have spoken of. Now, I very much question that had
the Rev. Mr. Towne placed the subjoined facts before his
cenegregation, those who so commendably and strongly
resented the spirit of the "Mission" in 1879, would have
withheld their donations, which would have been given
, with baiter grace, in aid of the Briaport Cottage Hospital,
which mwely has a claim of evmnathr upon that parish.
"The Orphanage of Mercy, Randolph Gardens, Kilburn,
N.W.," free home for destitute orphan girls, is under
the care of the Satan of the Church. Amongst the
patrons are ...-Chitionts King, Liddon, Gregory, and the
Hon. and Rev. C. W. A. Fielding ; all members of the
" English Church Union." The chaplain is the Rev. R.
. C. Kirkpatrick, vicar of St. Augustine's, and is one who
,igned the notorious petition for the " Selection and
Licensing of duly-qualified Confessors," a member of the
" Satiety of the Holy Creek" "Priest's associate of the
C in-fraternity of the Blessed Sacrament," a warden of
the latter body, and • member of C 'omit of the same,
and, of course, belongs to the " English Church Union.'
Ti what conclusion does this point mel Why, that the
parish priest of Bothenitampton, induced his people to
support an institution (admirable in it. way,
but one which, in my opinion, has no claim
upon the Protestant purse) which most likely
inculcates such doctrines, as the Rev. Kirkpatrick
would Of in accordance with what he professes) strive to
do—doctrines which the villagers have strongly resented.
The object is undoubtedly • good one, who could devise •
better than an asylum for the destitute and friendless
orphan, and at such a time as an harvest service, when all
charitably disposed would have their sympathies aroused,
the word "Orphanage" would move the heart and extend
the hand •, but if, as I eery much fear, such an hutitution
is under the control of men who are identified with such
baneful societies, it has no reasonable claim from those
who are jealous of the traditions and piety of our fore-
fathers, who even in their day were alive to the untiring
vigittnee of tli..se men, who are daily awl hourly gnawing
at the re-it of the grand cause of Protestantism. Wo have
but one thing to fear, viz., the supineness and negligence
of Prot/Manta. Depend upon it, them men never slumber,
but are all activity and seal ; bat let Protestants shake off
their lethargy, and we need to fear nothing. Let us unite
more than we have ever done, in maintaining our noble
principles, in defending our church from all who assail it
from without, but particularly against all who from within
daub it with the unreal and unternpered mortar of
unnatural observances. It is nothing short of • disgrace
that those erho should be the chief ornaments of Christ's
C itholic Church, should attempt to lead us into those paths
which have been marked with idolatry and bloodshed.—
