On Wednesday evening, the Vets. Archdeacon
Denison delivered an address at the Victoria ROOMS, Bristol.
on " The Established Church." The Rev. Canon MADAN
took the chair, and having briefly addressed the meeting,
The Ven. Archdeacon DZIMION, in the oourse of his
address maintained that the church of England was the
beet thing. not only for the people of England, but for the
whole world. (Hear.) He said it was the best thing for
the world that the church of England-a branch of the
catholic church, reformed and purged and brought back to
the pure primitive faith of the early times of Christianity
-" the pillar and ground of truth"-as it was said in
Scripture • 'and as it was celled in their articles, "a
witness and keeper of Holy Writ"-(hear, hea)-should
ant be what the Liberation Society wasted it, but
established and national. (Hear, hear.) The excellence
of the thing was to be shown, a priori, from its prin-
ciples, independent of facts altogether; and, secondly, it
was to be shown from its fruits. He said, a priori, from
its principles. What was the principle of the national
church! Now, the principle of the national church was
that its greatest' bkeeing of all was the unity of the faith.
That this had never been attained to-not even in the apos-
tolic times-was no argument against it. They were always
striving towards it, but could never come near it; and
though they could scarcely hops to see it attained to in this
state of things, yet it was that to which every true believer
would bend all his efforta, and that to which all noncon-
formists bent theirs. The supreme power of the country
were bound, therefore, to care for it so far as it might.
That was the principle of the national church, or what
we called in England " Church and State." Their oppo-
nent& said that the church of England was made by
the state. Why, the church of England existed before
the state-(bear)-and the national church of England
had always been part of the national life. Yet it
anticipated the national life. When the nation woke
up to the sense of its own national supremacy. and
power it found itself with the national church so niter-
twined and interlaced with it that it was impossible with-
out a revolution to sever it. (Hear, hear.) The nation
found the church, but did not endow it : the church of
England was endowed by private hands. On this point
the archdeacon read extracts from Hooker's works, and
observed that he was not going to question toleration.
People might think, perhaps, he was for not tolerating
nensionformists. He never had such an idea. He really
admitted the whole question of toleration ; and be did not
object-though he should not initiate it-to admission to
all social and civil advantages, unless necessarily bound up
with the national church, or incompatible with public order
or decency. (Hear.) But when he was asked to go further,
and give up the national church itself, he stoed-itnel
he asked all those to whom his words might reach to stop
with him-and consider that that was a thing they could
not do-they dared not do. (Hew, hear.) They dared not
&lye it Up unless they were to be found triton and faith-
lees when they came to be judged. They were bound not
only to decline to be parties directly or indirectly to such
acts, but they were bound to offer to them an active and
most uncompromising resistance. That was their position
and defence. For the aggressive part of the ditireh's work-
that whereby she made war against infieledity and unclean-
ness of life-that was another matter, sod did not come
within their present scope. The churchl was labouring to
do this part of her work-imperfeetly, it might be, but
she was labouring and making continual progress, and he
thought they might fearlessly stand forth and say, with
all thankfulness, that there never was a time in which
the church of England stood so high in the affec-
tions of the people as at the present time. (Cheers.)
ITherefore, he said, she was doing her work with
some continual progress, but let churchmen take heed in
the meantime that the church's position of defence was not
carried by the enemy. In no country bad the church been
go thoroughly incorporated with the state as it was in Err--
land ; therefore it was a serious preliminary question -ad
he would have the member of the Liberation Society to
think before they put themselves in au attitude of hada*,
and he would hive all members of the church of England
think over it before they put themselves in a position of in.
dolent security-whether any attempt to destroy the
national church was not sinful-whether it was not one of
those presumptuous sins of which the psalmist prayed to he
delivered ? He did not say that the work of the church
of England was perfect. But with all the short-
comings and failures, she had done a vast amount
of good. There was, however, a notion amongst
church people, that because they were the established
church they were safe • but he cautioned them against
trusting in that, and delta them to beware that they did
not wake up one day and and-as it happened 200 years ago
-the church gone. Amongst the various fruits of the
church he selected what he called the beet of them, and
contended that the church of England had been the mown
GI preserving for herself and for many who had disclaimed
her authority the primitive 'faith in England. The arch
deuce, in conclusion, contrasted the spiritual condition of
enclose other countries with that of England, and besought
his hewers to cling with the most unflinching determination
to their own church. He then spoke on the question of
aura rates, suggesting that petitions should be sent to
pediment from ratepayer, and poor people, and deprecat-
ing the attempts which had bees made-especially m the
Guardian newspaper-for providing for what was called
the exemption of dissenting ratepayers.
