NEW CHAPEL, KENT-ROAD,

Ma. EDITOR,—,-At a period when the public At-
t t ion is so lauMly directed to the highly ne-
cessary measure •pi erecting more Churches and
Chapels, it will not, 1 prusinne, be thought nn-
seasonable.to offer, through the medium of your
Paper, a few hints that may conduce to•put
the sincere but unsuspecting Member of the
Churcli of England on his guard against the ar-
tifices of those who will, there is no doubt, be
but too ready to take advantage of the public

With regard to propositions for the erecting of
professed Dissenting Chapels, I would, in ean-
dour, allow that in Many criers -the projectors
appear to be actuated by a sincere zeal for the
spiritual welfare of their. brethren.. 'With the
• conduct of such, however mistaken, the true
Clinrchnian has no concern. But, unhappily, in-
stances occur where the advancement of the same
sacred object is the professed mo,ive, while the
hypocrisy of the pretension is plainly discovered
by the unworthy arts made use of to obtain sub-
scription and support. In Ma:ty such instances,
the features of Dissent are so artfully veiled, that
the plain unsuspicious Churchman is unable to
perceive what it is that determines his mote can-
, How; neighbour to consider that place as a Dissent.•
ing Chapel where " the principles of be Church of
England " are avowed, and in which " the Ser-
Viee of the Church will be performed." I shall
shortly explain it, however, by the following
brief statement of a case. that has lately c,,me to
my knowledge ; and ,I think the meaning of these
general, and certainly convenient descriptions,
will also be elucidated by it.
Application was, lately made to a Gentleman'
residing in the neighbourhood -of the licot-road
ru contribute to the erection of a Chapel theme,
" in the principles of the Church of England.'
The Parish is large, and the accommodation at
the Parish Clinic" ,wholly inadequate to- lumisb
seats for a twentieth part of the parishioners,
and my friend would, therefore, have been dis-
posed to accede to the proposal, had he felt
.as-
sured of the principles of the promoters ; but
upon further inquiry he discovered.that it was in-
tended to erect, not an Episcopal Chapel, but-one
in which the Liturgy,' or some parts of it, should
be read by any. person whom. the., Sqbscribers
every amount, .4owever trifling,) might think fit to
appoint to
.the sacred office. My friend was
strongly solicited by one of the Committee to. lend
his name ; which, it was obseryed, for be it
known to be a firm supporter of - the Establisheti
Church, would tend to forward the subscription,
and as an 'induccment it was whispered that the
concern was likely to turn out a good thing, ant!
'would probably produce him ten per cent. for his
money. This effectually explained the whole,
and my friend decidedly declined taking any part
in such an object. His name, however, was
thought too serviceable for their purpose to be
so easily relinquished, and accordingly, to his ut-
ter astonishment, not long afterwards he saw it,
among others, annexed to a printed. proposal; 'for
the erection of the same Cltalael, as-alSabscribet
of fifty pounds. Upon. which he

TO • THE C0A1:111ITTEE Fort BUILDING A NEW

CHAPEL IN THE KENT ROAD.

" GENTLEMEN,—Observing with astonishment my name
inserted in a statement lately circulated by you, as a sub.
scriber of 501. to the erection of a Chapel in the Kent-road,
I beg leave to inform you that the same has been. done with-
out my consent or knowledge : as it is well known that I ant
a Mesmbee of the Established Church, 1) am apprehensive
that the publication of my name as a subscriber to this in-
tended Chapel may be the means of leading some persons
into the error of supposing it to he an Episcopal Chapel ;
tti prevent this consequence, as well as to do myself jus-
tice in maintaining consistency of principle, I must insist
that you will read thiS declaration at the intended General
Meeting to-morrow evening,and discontinue my name in any
future, publication, or I shall take immediate measures to
print and circulate the satin.
" I am, Gentlemen, &c. &c. Scc."

To complete the character of this prpject,,it
may be only necessary to add, the a .I)phlic Mvet-
ing was at 'length convened-at which. (for the
avowed purpose, be it remembered, of prOrosiug
the erection of a Chapel on the prinripies of the
Church of England) a well-known Dissenting
Preacher from a neighbouring parish took the
Chair,

Facts like- these must surely convince every
sincere friend. to the. Church of • the necessity of
carefully distinguishing between that which spe-
ciously assumes the garb of the EstabliShment,-
and that which exhibits its genuine and essential.
character. W4iiit real Churclsman-can esteem that
person, though he presumes to perform the holy
offices of Religion, as " lawfully called and
sent,". who is unsupported by the accredited mark
of " Episcopal sanction and authority," (see
Article 23) or regard such a Chapel as any other
than a dissenting place of workhip; The pious
and consistent Churchman would du well to at-
tend to this criterion; lest, with the purest hitch...,
Lion of doing good, he should in 'reality•!ie he-.
cessoryto ,the ihcrease of, disunion 'and dissent.

I shall add no more, Sir, than an apology for
occupying so much of your attention, hut sub-
scribe my name, which I fear is most celebrated
for the suppoll of far diffescia doctrines from
t hese.
