RITUALISM AT BRIGHTON.

On Christmas .tve a midnight celebration was held at
St. James's, Brighton" The church was partly filled by a
respectable auditory ; the building itself profusely deco-
rated with laurels, holly, and flowers ; many large crosses
being formed by the same. The altar was decorated with
flowers, and on a aide table was the usual light burning,
but on this occasion surmounted by a carved figure of the
Infant Saviour. The usual display of embroidered dresses,
&Q., was exhibited by the officiating priests and choristers.
The proceedings commenced with the imposing procession,
during which and throughout the entire service incense
was freely scattered about. In fact, notwithstanding the
reoent decision of the Privy Council, lights, incense,
bowings, &c., were upon the usual excessive scale. Many
slightly suppressed sounds of discontent were heard
throughout the service, both within and without the
building ; but at the commencement of the offertory sen-
tences a gentleman who could nu longer sit with indiffe-
rence as a spectator of such mummeries at last cried out,
"It is perfect bosh; I say perfect rubbish." Immediately
some of the vergers, with their oaken staves, rushed to
the pew in which he was sitting ; the priests looked
aghast, and the choristers and the congregation
seemed terror-stricken. The gentleman proceeded to say,
when efforts were made to expel him, " I expected this;
I am not afraid to repeat my words : it is all perfect
rubbish ; leave me alone, I will go away without help."
The vergers again attempted to take hold of him, when
he again said, "It is perfect rubbish ; I came here to
worship God accor,lipg to the tenets of the Church of
England, not of the Church of Rome ! This is all
mockery and rubbish, Mr. Purchas." The last words
he uttered while crossing the church and nearing the
altar. On reaching the first (inner) doors of the building,
two or three over-earnest vergers rather roughly pushed
him into the outer lobby and thence into the street. The
service was then resumed, though the voice of the offi-
ciator was very tremulous, and side-long glances were
taken by those in the choir at every murmuring sound
from without. Many persons immediately left the build-
ing ; some ten or a dozen only remaining to partake of
the Holy Communion, in the celebration of which exces-
sive bowings, lightings, and incensings were most freely
indulged in. The congregation separated about one o'clock ;
but, owing to a detachment of police that were stationed
without, the crowd offered no personal violence to them as
they dispersed.—Brighton Herald,
