THE BISHOP OF LINCOLN ON THE PEW SYSTSSI.
At a meeting held at Nottingham on the 14th ult.,
the Right Hon. Lord Belper, Lord Lieutenant of the
county, in the chair, the Bishop of Lincoln, in the course
of his speech, said :—" In the first place restoration
generally sweeps away those great divisions called pews,
in which for a long period of years the people have been
content to make themselves comfortable, as if apparently
for the only purpose of keeping others out—(hear, hear)—
a system which has undoubtedly worked much evil, both
to those who possess pews and those who do not.
Those who have not pews, particularly the humble and
working classes, have been repelled from our parish
churches, where there is no place for them to go to,
except, perhaps, in some neglected corners. And even
if they obtrude themselves, even if admitted into the
inclosure, the doors are shut, and it seems as if the
occupants are in their own rarlours. The misfortune
to those who possess pews is that it leavens devotion
with selfishness. Those who are not naturally deficient
in charity, on this point at least they often forget the
welfare and even the rights of their poorer brethren. I re-
member, in a country town, an elderly lady, who was a
very charitable person, steadily resisted the attempt of the
churchwarden to put a parishioner into her pew, utterly
forgetting that she was preventing a fellow creature, per-
haps a fellow Christian, from worshipping God and attend-
ing the means of grace. These, happily, are swept away
by our church restorations.
BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—Homoeopathic practitioners, and
the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as be.ng
toe most healthful of all beverages. When the doctrine of
homoeopathy was first introdueei into this country, there
were to be obtahed no preparations of cocoa either attrac-
tive to the taste or accepta: le to the stomach ; the nut was
either supplied iu the crude state, or so unskilfully manu-
factured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London,
homoeopathic chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn
his attention to this subje.t, and at length sucJeeded, with
the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to
produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by
the pert, et trituration it re:eives in the process it passes
through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach.
For general use Eppa' cocoa is distin.cuished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakfast beverage, with a delidous aroma.
Dr. Hassall in his work. "Food and its Adulterations,"
says—" Cocoa contains a great variety of important nutritive
principles ; every ingredient necessary to the growth and
sustenance of the body." Again, "As a nutritive, cocoa
stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Direc-
tions :—T wo teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup,
filled up with baiting water or milk. Secured in tin-lined
1-Ib., and lib. labelled pactets, and sold at le. 6d. per
lb. by groom, confectioner., and altandats.
