Gladstone should have persevered in a course of re-
sistance to what he regarded as the unrighteous
Authority of his diocesan, may well inspire in every
British bosom emotions of admiration and friend-
ship for the Rev. Gentleman. That he has never
hesitated or faltered in the course of conduct which
he determined to pursue, can only be ascribed to the
fact that the needful courage and strength have
been imparted to him from a celestial source. Nor
can we doubt that, continuing to derive the needed
resolution and strength from the same divine source,
as pre-

he will go on till the end, not only with unshaken
courage, but with an hourly increasing resolution.
Mr. Gladstone, as our readers are aware, will next

stand which he is making for the rights of conscience,
and on behalf of the cause of civil and religious li-
berty? Let it not be forgotten, that though Mr.
Gladstone pleads his own cause in person, a very
considerable amount of expenses must necessarily be
incurred in his defence. Nor must the great fact
be overlooked that, the metropolitan -prelate hes an
income from 30,000/ to 40,0001. a year, while Mr.
Gladstone's does not exceed 2001. to 2501. Tnese
are mighty odds, so far sis pecuniary considerations
are concerned, against the reverend gentleman.
It is for the public to place Mr. Gladstone in a
more favourable position so far as the pecuniary
weapons of his warfare are concerned. We are sure
we have but to state the posture of affaira to insure
a ready response to . our appeal on„,.}(is behalf.

elapse, it will be our pleasing duty to record the re-

It is for no sectarian or party purpose that the appeal
