be made independent of political changes, u, for instance.
by being made a permanent sub-committee, and that each
member of the wart might deliver his opinios separately.
The archbishop, however, apposes to see that it is neither
upoa changes in the Court of Appeal nor upon alteration"
in the law of subscription that the prospects of
the church really depend. He gives no countenance
to the desponding Issignme of some ecclesiastics, who,
because controversy is eagles around some points of the
faith, speak in a dispooding tone of the spiritual condition
of the country. He is not even disposed to admit that the
qualifications of candidates for orders have in any way

they were cast by the civil war."

The Archbishop of Dublin, in his primary charge
dehvered on Friday, warned the clergy that great hopes
were placed in them by their fellow-churchmen in England,
and that they were witnesses for God and his bath in the
land wherein they are placed. He declared emphatically
that the peat bulk of the Irish per* did sot wish the
abolition of the established church, and be e►ancterisd
the Penis* movement as simply socialistic.
