LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15.

Tne movement for preaching the Gospel to the
poor seems to be a new life to the clergy; and no one
can wonder at it. The eyes of multitudes follow the
good Bishop of Lox DON, who has began at once, on
entering on his high function,at the right end of his
great task—the carrying the Gospel to those who
want it most. Many hearts beat in sympathy when
they hear of the emotion of the Bishop of 01.701 D
being so great as repeatedly to impede his
utterance, while he was delivering his " message to
the still and gazing multitude closely packed into
the Church. There may be, and there is, no
small wonder that such things remain to be done
at this time of day—not only that eighteen cen-
turies after Christianity indicated the poor as the
first object of preaching, the Church of England
should be taking up the object as a new move-
ment, but also because the City Missions have
been at work for a long coarse of years without
any of the aid which might as well have been
given them in the churches thirty years ago as now.
More than one generation of Town Missionaries has
passed away, humbly hoping that some good had
been done, but having lived in pain and anxiety on
account of the extreme smallness of the means they
could command to meet overwhelming evils. Mia-
mians to the heathen at the ends of the
earth bad all the advantages that could be
given by public meetings, and services in
all the churches and dial:* li ; whereas, the far
more obligatory minion to the heathen in our own
alleys, and the poor sufferers on our own door-steps,
had only casual, limited, and private aid, for the
most part. Now, suddenly, we see a vast change
wrought by a concurrence of circumstances—this

accession of a bishop who starts out of the uld
beaten road of episcopal " propriety and precedent,"
and follows a short cut back to the antique position
of the Christian bishop—the encroachments of
ultramontane zeal—and the disclosure by the census
of the position of the working classes in regard to
the church. These and other incidents of the time
have made our leading churchmen a sort of dissenters
in spirit and energy, on a sudden. They know now
something of the glowing atmosphere of tone in
which our WE3LEYM and WHITVIELDS lived, and
evidently feel a new life growing up within them-
selves now that they have seen rough faces kindle
with holy emotion, and have found themselves sur-
rounded at last by the very midi.... which their
commission directed them to obtain.

It is a small matter that affairs do not go alte;,e-
ther smoothly. That is an inevitable drawback;
and good sense and temper may reduce it to a very
manageable one. There is as much party-spirit
in the Church as elsewhere, while the interests sup-
posed to be at stake, on every side of every question,
render tae zeal of tke disputants excessive. And the
obstacles are various and numerous. We remember
the respectable testimonies that were ranged on both
aides of the question of opening St. Paul's to the
public some years ago. We remember the frequent
baffling of the inquiry whether Westminster Abbey
could not be made more use of for popular purposes.
These were symptoms of the difficulties which
would arise whenever the time came,—if
it were to come—when the Gospel should be preached
to the poor : and it should disconcert nobody to find
opposition in the way, and dissension among those
who should act as brethren. The Low Church takes
the alarm lest the High Churchmen should lead
away the multitude, as in the old days; and a
stickler here and there stands up for points of seek-
Modica right which he thinks it virtuous to sustain
at all risks; so we see the congregations warned by
handbill against one of the preachers of the week ;
and the Dissenters have Exeter-hall to themselves.
It takes two parties to make a quarrel ; and it may
be toped that no notice will be taken of any obstacles
that can be peened over.

A much more important consideration is that mis-
chief may be done, unwittingly, though not
perhaps quite innocently, by the preachers
themselves, full as their hearts may be of the
kindliest emotions, and able as they may be to
do justice to their thoughts and feelings by the
akilfulnesv of their speech. It is a pity when such
an opportunity as that of the last week or two is
consigned to a man who cannot maks himself heard,
or to one who reads badly, or to one who uses book
language, and does not know bow to speak to plain
men who understand only oollognial language; but
there may be a worse misuse of the opportunity than
in any of these cases. It may be strange to bishops
and other eminent diviner is be addressed in the tone
of advice about how to preach ; but it may possibly
occur to them that a close acquaintance with the
minds and ways of the men they desire to addressonay
be worth as much to their object on the one hand as
any clerical accomplishments on the other. This
being our view, we will venture to counsel the=
not to follow the ordinary practice of telling
their hearers that the bliss of a future life is to com-
pensate to them for their sufferings from ponerty
in this. A poor man is scarcely ever specially ad-
dressed by preacher* and religious teachers without
bsint told this ; and the mischief which ensues is
very great—sufficiently great, we should say, to
counterbalance all the good that the new movement
might otherwise do. " The poor " comprehended
under the term by those who are not poor are at
