THE BISHOPS —The following is part of a
speech delivered, or intended to be delivered, at a Reform
meeting, by a Dunbar Reformer. We recommend it
strongly to the notice of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY
and his flight Rev. " tail."—" The present state of the
English Church may be very aptly compared to the once
overgrown and domineering Church of Rome, That
Church has long passed the acme of its prosperity, has de-
clined in the ambitious aims of its votaries. In the 14th
and 15th centuries, the Mitred Cardinals of Italy gave laws
to Europe, and the most powerful potentates were fain to
yield submission to their imperious dictates. An English
King too, has ere this been obliged to pay tribute and sub-
mit to the supreme authority of the Pope. Did the
English Bishops hope to play the same game ? Did they
imagine that their votes against Reform would be regarded
with as much dread as the ancient excommunications and
anathemas of Roman Catholici..m, or did they suppose
that our staunch, resolute, brave Sailor King was the
feeble, the cowardly JOHN? But let me ask, what are the
qualifications a Bishop ought to have? I will apply to no
human standard ; but describe them as laid down in the
Bible: out of their very text book I will judge them. St.
PAUL says, a Bishop must be blameless, the husband of one
wife, vigilant, sober of good behaviour, given to hospitality,
apt to teach. Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy
of filthy lucre, but patient, not a brawler, not covetous,
&c. Let me ask, do the present Bishops act agreeably to
these sacred injunctions ? In some points they must, the
blameless?
.are they.the; vigilant
give
v e ?
laws of their country compel them. They must content
themselves with one wife, they dare not brawl or strike,
but are they
the poor and gathering an, their tithes, they are. Are they
sumptuousl n
oppr
en: enrg-
gtaivinenan entots htoosptihtaelitryic?h,laen% the high, and the great, but
their doors are shut upon the poor, the maimed, and the
halt.' Are they apt to teach? Does one sermon or two
in the year, discover a desire to teach ? Are they not greedy
of filthy lucre? ' Aye there's the rub.' SOLOMON has
said, there are three things, yea four, which are never
satisfied. Had Bishops existed in those day., he would
have said five, for they are like the horse leech, crying
give, give.' When a person is found breaking the rules
of his office, not performing the duties required, and un-
worthy of it, he is dismissed, and why not turn off those
overgrown masses of corruption, and put in their place
men whe have the good of their country and the eternal
welfare of the souls under their chary at heart ?"...(Elec-
trifying applause.)—Scotsman.
