TUESDAY" MORNING, NOV. 8, 1853.

THE " STANDARD" AND ITS
CALUMNIATORS.

WE stated last week our intention to enter more at
length into the misrepresentation to which we have been
subject, notwithstanding our long and consistent advocacy
of the purity of the ReforMed Faith, as developed in the
Articles and Formularies of the Church of England. We
had designed to have exposed some of the malignant
fabrications which have been industriously propagated by
certain individuals, who are mainly indebted to this paper
for any prominence they may enjoy in the public mind, and
from whom we have received in return not only little or
no substantial support, but the grossest ingratitude. At
the intreaty, however, of some valued friends, and 'as our
sole object, in every opinion we have expressed, has been to
preserve that Christian unity which can alone render the
services of the Church efficient for the promotion of
" Peace on earth—good-will towards men," we shall
forego our intention, and rely on the good sense and love
of justice which we are willing to believe predominate with
the majority of Englishmen. We shall, therefore, only
refer to the following instance of wilful perversion which
appeared in the columns of The Record, shortly after our
remarks on " the proposed new church in Liverpool." A
cause that requires falsehood for its support can have
little claim to Christian sympathy :

which constitutes at once its

be no lack of interest in
awakening attention to the
sinful state of fallen man, the
great mystery of Redemption,
the call to repentance and
prayer, preparation for an
hereafter, and judgment to
come. These concern all man-
kind, and none are more fitted
than our ow n clergy for adapt-
ing them so as to touch the
hearts of those whom they
address. They should, how-
. ever, be the affectionate ap-
peals of earnest men who feel
and can appreciate the impor-
tance of their mission as en-
trusted with the glad tidings
of salvation to a guilty world,
and not the impassioned ora-
tions of those who only please
the ear, and attract crowds to
be charmed by the eloquence
of their style. * * * *
I have no doubt that the It has been, and is, an evil of
" getting up" of this " primi- no common magnitude, that

desirous of a return to strict
observances, has overloaded
them with forms and ceremo-

extreme of undervaluing all
forms. * * If in the new

would be reached which every

Christian, would joyfully hail.
* * These remarks are made
not only without reference to
party, but in the hope that
they may assist in healing un-
happy differences.
It will thus be seen that there is not a line in the
statement put forth by The Record which does not con-
tain a falsehood, or a wilful perversion of language. The
remark that "a sly hit is made at the extemporaneous
prayers of Dissenters as unavailing and unprofitable,"
is a glaring instance of this. It is well known that Dissen-
ters do not approve of written prayers, and therefore cannot
understand the beauty of the Church Liturgy ; but to infer
from thence that any allusion whatever is made to ex-
'Pore Prayers being unavailing and unprofitable, is
such a gross perversion of truth, such a wilful breach of
the ninth commandment, as to justify the strongest
reprobation.
