PRESENTATION Or A PASTORAL STArr TO THE
BISHOP Or CIUeNESITISL —We read is Wheatly on
the Common Prayer Book, that the Pastoral Sta.
(Fectuns Pontitictunt) is peeulim to the Bishop
alone, but expressly ordered to be used by him,
as an ensign of his offloe, at all public admisia-
trations. It wu made in the shape of a shepherd's crook,
and wee for many ages, even till after the reformation devote
me-
stonily given to the bishop at his °onomastics, to
that he was then constituted a shepherd over the flock of
Christ. We have observed that on two public administrations
at the openiog of the toe chapelJoho's College,
Iflurstpierpoiat, and again at the re-opecing of Horsham
Church, perhaps now the finest in the diocese, the pastoral
etaff, which was carried before the bishop, by one of his
lordship's chaplaies, was only made of wood, and we us sot,
therefore, surprised that the clergy in the diocese of Chi-
chester should feel it their duty and privilege to present in
the present or nth to their venerable sod much loved bishop
a silver pastoral staff, to be carried ie future on all public
administrations before the bishop by one of his lordship's
chaplains.—Surrey Standard.
