THE PORTERS AND THE HOLIDAYS.

To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SlR,—Merry Christmas, with its festive enjoyments, is come
once more in its annual round, bringing mirth and happiness
to some, misery and want to others. I wish to put in a plea for
the poor, and in particular the porters of this town, who have
had a long period of scarcity of employment, extending over
nearly three months, and from my own knowledge there are
hundreds whose average earnings have not amounted to ss. per
week during that period. The Brokers have come to a resolu-
tion to suspend business for three days this week, the effect of
which will he to throw out of work many men, creating for
them a gloomy instead of a cheerful Christmas. Let me solicit
those gentlemen, who to add to their comfort set aside busi-
ness. that they may enjoy themselves, not to forget their poor
depend:ints, but see that they are paid, that they may also at;
ford to rejoice.—I am, Sir, most respectfully yours, B.

TO THE REV

DR. CAHILL

SIR,—As I understand that you preached a sermon yesterday
morning, the subject of which, as publicly placarded, was
" The Bible alone as interpreted by Private Judgment a False
Rule of Christian Faith," and as. in your visit to England, some
months a;o, you preached on the same subject and printed
your sermon, a copy of which is now before me, some notice of
your views on this important question will not, I hope, be
considered unseasonable.

In the second paragraph of your printed sermon or lecture
you say, "a large section of your countrymen and mine (mean-
ing the Protestants of this country) say that the New Testa-
ment, interpreted by the private judgment of every individual
in the world, is the sure, clear, decided, determined, infallible
rule of faith."

This, sir, is a most incorrect definition of the rule of faith
received by Protestants. What their views really are on this
subject, you could easily have ascertained by referring to their
creeds and articles. But without producing one passage bear-
ing on this question from their own standards, you choose to
attribute to them a doctrine which we must continue to believe
all Protestants reject, till you furnish us with better proof than
your own unsupported assertion.

- Compare with your definition the very different definition in
the Vlth Article of the Church of England:
" Holy Scripture conteineth all things necessary to salvation ;
SO that WHATSOEVER IS NOT RFAD THEREIN, NOR MAY BE
PROVED THEREBY IS not to be required of any man that it
should be believed as an article of faith," &c.
It is not, then, as you would have your hearers believe, that
every vagary and folly and delusion that any may fancy to be
the Bible—it is not, 1 say, these opinions which constitute our
rule of faith. F.,r otherwise. The Bible, God's own Word, in
its true and proper meaning, this, this alone is our standard
of faith and practice. And can you say that it is inconsistent
with reverence for this Glorious "eing, or gratitude for His
Revelation, to assign to His Word this office of guiding our
life and regulating qur doctrine?
Only apply the principle to some one of yout own creeds,
which you have thought proper to apply to this Protestant doc-
trine, and see if it will give a correct representation of the
doctrines of your own church. The creed of Pope Pius IVth
contains a short summary of your faith. We are in the habit
of controverting the doctrines of that creed understood in its
true and proper meaning. But if we were to borrow a lesson
from your Lecture, it is not this creed, in its legitimate accep-
tation, but this creed as interpreted, to use your own words,
"by every doating dreaming old woman, and wild foolish man"
in Ireland, or in Italy, or in Spain, which, according to your
theory and language, would be the Sure, clear, decided, de-
ter m i ned, infallible rule of your faith."
Are you willing to have your own principle applied to your
own creed? I think not.

But what are your arguments to prove that the Bible is net
to be received as a Rule of Faith?
Those who have not heard o read your Sermon will be sur-
prised to learn that not one single reference is made to the
Bible itself to disprove our Protestant doctrine. Ah ? sir,
this, to say the least, looks suspicious. It appears as though you
feared an appeal to this blessed volume. And well you might.
For there we read that ignorance of the Bible is the source of re-
ligious error, " YE DO ERR," says Christ, " NOT KNOWING THE
SCRIPTURES."—Mat, xxii.29. We read that laymen are com-
mended for testing, by this standard, doctrines taught by apostles,
"These were more noble than those of Thessalonica, in that
they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched
the Scriptures daily whether those things were so."—Acts xvii.
11. Here is an example sanctioned by divine anthority, for the
laymen of your church to imitate,—an example many of them
in Ireland and elsewhere are not slow to follow in the present
day ; and the result is what we should expect : thousands and
tens of thousands are forsaking the accumulated and still
accumulating errors of Romanism, to embrace the pure Scrip-
tural and apostolic faith of the Church of England.
In the absence of Scripture proofs, you attempt to show that
the Bible cannot be the rule of faith, because, as you tell us,
"we find no less than 240 faiths in the world;". and Paul
says there is one God, one faith."

but let me ask where is that "one faith," of which the
apostle speaks, to be found, if it be not contained in his own
writings, and in the writings of prophets and apostles inspired
like himself? Are we to forsake this "one faith" to adopt the
novelties of your church ? Are we to worship the blessed virgin,
to pray to saints and angels, to believe in purgatory. to have
public prayers in a language not understood by the congrega-
tion, to refuse the cup to the people? Are we, I repeat, to
accept all these novelties from Rome, for which there is no
authority in S'cripture, or to adhere to the one ancient apostolic
faith taught us in the inspired volume?
Concerning the 239 false faiths to which you refer, you give
us no information except something very scanty about three
sects, viz., the Anabaptists of Germany, the Swedentorgians,
and the followers of Joanna Southcote. The force of your
argument, in connexion with this statement, I understand to
be this :-Ist, That the numerous sects among Protestants
prove that the true faith is not with them. 2ndly, That these
sects originate in an indiscriminate perusal of the Scriptures.
And, 3rdly, That the extravagances of those Protestants you
name ought to deter every one from embracing or maintaining
Protestantism.

As a minister of the Church of England, I am only concerned
to maintain the truth of her doctrines. I have no more to do
with the errors of those named above than with the errors of
the Romish Church. I equally renounce them all. And a man
might, with equal reason, in which your theory would sustain
him, reject Christianity because divisions exist among its pro-
fessors, as reject Protestantism because divisions exist among
its professors. But a man's duty is precisely the same in both
cases, to distinguish between truth and error by the aid of that
Book which all professors of Christianity acknowledge to be
divine, embracing the one and rejecting the other.
But is it true that divisions are confined to the Protestant
body ? Have you had no controversies in the Romish Church?
You, at least, sir, are not ignorant of the protracted contro-
versies between the Thomists and the Scotists, the Dominicans
and Franciscans, the Jansenists and the Jesuits, not to name-
the opposite decisions of Councils, and the fierce disputes be-
tween Popes and Popes.
It is not the Bible but man's fallen nature which is the origin
of divisions. And if these be not multiplied tenfold more than at
present in your church, it is because you have appliances to
silence them which neither Fcr;pture nor humanity will permit
us to employ. The weapons cf our warfare are not the carnal'
weapons of the Inquisition, the ack, or the fire. By these yon
may suppress divisions and then boast of your unity. But you
do not thus follow Christ, but the pattern of heathen Rome with
her enemies, " Solitudinem faciunt pacem appellant."
But you endeavour to alarm men's fears against Protest-
autism by reciting some of the doctrines held by the German
Anabaptists, which Luther condemned, and the whole Pro-
testant world with one voice reject. "They professed," you
tell us, " to hold immediate communication with God, and to
be commanded by him to kill all the wicked."
We may indeed consistently repudiate this doctrine—we who
follow the Bible, which says, " Thou shalt not kill," and
"Thou shalt love thy neighbOur as thyse'f."
But how, sir, can you condemn this doctrine without con-
demning your own Church, which prescribes in one of hel.
oaths, Hcereticos, schismatlcos aut rebelles cidem Domino
nostro vel successoribus prcedictis, pro posse persequar
impugnaho.—" Heretics, schismatics, or rebels to our same
Lord (the Pope) or his successors aforesaid, I will to the utmost
