harmonies than those sublime compositions which are
especially designed for the honour of the Almighty and de-
voted to His service.

With reference to the afternoon service, I may here remark
on the prejudice which commonly prevails against the greatly
neglected practice of catechising the children before the con-
gregation in church. I may, in the first place, as a Church-
man, simply appeal to the law of the Church on the matter,
and quote the rubric as an argument which ought to be con-
clusive. It says :—" The curate of every parish shall dili-
gently upon Sundays and Holy-days, after the second Lesson
at Evening Prayer, openly in the church instruct and ex-
amine so many children of his parish sent unto him as he
shall think convenient, in some part of this catechism."
Here is Ft plain and simple command, about which there
ought to be no cavil, but, unfortunately, we are all too apt to
place inclination in the scale against duty, and then comes
the objection about inconvenient length of service, and the
distaste to hear the simple answers of young children to sim-
ple questions, with little care as to the importance it may be
to them to be so instructed. With the latter objection I shall
not attempt to deal, but as to the length of time which forms
so grave a difficulty, I would state that the whole service in
St. Martin's Church on Sunday afternoon, including the
catechism, did not occupy more than forty minutes, so that
those who could be wearied with such an attendance were but
hankering for the after• dinner nap, in which too many, I
believe, are apt to indulge on the day of rest. For my part, I
firmly believe that .more practical good would he effected in
on as members of a Christian

Le rising generat

.fere more strictly to follow the re-
4uirements of the rubric, and, instead of leaving all to Sunday
t openly the catechising of the
children, which is so plainly enjoined. If this were general,
St. Martin's church would be less distinctive than it is at
some time past present in its obee ; and I can

school teachers, practis

ence to the laws of the Church
readily believe that the older members of the congregation
would soon begin to take a deeper interest in the moral wel-
fare of the children growing up around them. At any rate,
I can cheerfully bear testimony to the good order which I
witnessed, and the good effect which, as far as I was able to
judge, it bad upon those who were the most deeply interested.
I had intended to have described the service in the evening,
as I visited the church during the three times it was open on
the Sunday, but I have already almost reached the limits to
which a letter should extend, as many readers have as strong
an objection to wade through long epistles as they have to
sit and listen to long sermons. I must, therefore, defer the
remainder of my observations until next week, and conclude
for the present with the remark, that although all I had heard
of the performances of Divine Service at St. Martin's Church
created a very unfavourable impression—as I have no doubt
has been the case with many others—l consider it but justice
to the Rev. Cecil Wray, the Incumbent, to offer the impartial
testimony of a stranger, in order that the truth may no
longer be clouded with prejudice. Instead of experiencing
the disgust which I had been led to anticipate, I saw very
much to approve of, and with some such slight modifi-
cations as those I suggested in my former letter, I have no
hesitation in asserting, that St. Martin's Church might very
advantageously be made a model for imitation. VIATOR

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

SIR,—I do not think many of your readers possess that
unnatural taste for mere personal controversy with which
your correspondent, the Rev. Mr. Pollock, is afflicted. I shell
do nothing to unnecessarily prolong the trumpery dispute
which he has raised in your columns. When, after every
charge has been denied (so that, if his accusation be correct,

we must disbelieve the positive asseverations of Messrs.
Wray and Paghe), we find him boasting that none of his
" facts" have been disputed, and again inflicting on us his
balderdash about " secret accusation,, ' &c., not many words
are wanted to sum up the case. It is, however, of some use
to note the animus which moves the opposition :

1. Note that Mr. Pollock passes by the "real question at
issue." Mere personal disputes are of but a momentary
interest. Mr. Wray having, therefore, denied Mr. Pollock's
charge, I took occasion to call the latter's attention to this
only question of lasting importance. lie refers to my letter
in terms of gratulation. He has nothing to say to its allega-
tions, but lets us know, almost in so many words, that his
sole object is to cover with opprobrium two brother clergy-

men. "It ,will be time enough for 'him to come forward
again" when Mr. Wray appeals to the public to give him
credit for speaking the truth ! further manifest in
that he .artfully endeavours to turn my letter into another
means of damaging the reputation of Mr. Wray. Yes, Sir,
he actually scruples not to " toady" -the Committee of the
"proposed church," in order to gratify his feeling against Mr.
Wray. He condescendingly assures us that we are not quite
lost to his good opinion, he has some hopes of us, seeing
that we have not committed ourselves to the acts of Mr.
Wray l There is no occasion that I ,should give the most
positive contradiction to his hardy insinuation. It was a

strangetime to make it, when one

endorsing Mr. Wray's worst charges,

mmittee was

2. Mr. Pollock's great " fact" was, that Mr. Wray altered
the circular for the purpose of a more general publication.
The charge. therefore, rests on Mr. Wray's purpose. The
only way, then, in which it can be met, is to deny the pur-
pose. Mr. Wray has done so; and to that denial I can give
the corroboration of one who was intimately, associated with
him in these transactions.

3. The most colourable imputation after this, is, that the
passage about " Papal and Dissenting error" was inserted in
this published circular "to delude the Protestant public ;"
and this is inferred because, when addressing "his own

party," "these pretexts were not resorted to." A statement
which is contrary to the fact : this passage having been pro-
inulged in the earliest editions of the circular, together with
some additional matter regarding the true way of opposing

Popery, taken from Bishop Burnet. So that the undertaking
was, at the onset, inaugurated with the profession of anti-
Popish sympathies.
4. The residuum of these wretched charges is, that some of
the expressions of the circular were, in its last edition, shorn
of some of their strength and " bitterness;" and, of course,
such a charge as this is quite legitimate. The public can
form their own opinion. If Mr. Pollock had confined himself
to this, he would.have challenged far different comments
from men of sense, candour, and gentlemanly and Christian
tside the I feeling.

Mr. Pollock rightly judges that we do not aim at the
" desolation" of existing churches. It is their present deso•
lation we mould repair. Our aim is, to restore to them the
"Lord's Ritual" on the Lord's day. We can conceive no
desolation more complete than its absence. This our crime.;
as Dr. le'Neile hinted at -the " Working Men's Church"
meeting, that we do not accept the sermon as supplying kits

place.
The cause, then, is where it was when we commenced. The
adversaries leave us in the field. They will " not come for-
ward again" till there are some more opportunities of aspers-
ing the characters of its advocates. So be it.—Yours,
faithfully, ONE OF THE COMMITTEE.

LIE NEW BISHOP OF KILMORE,—The Ven. Marcus G
Beresford was consecrated Bishop of Kilmore and Ardagh,
in the cathedral of Armagh, on Sunday week, by the Lord
Primate, assisted by the Bishops of Tuam and Down. The

late Right Rev. George de la Poer Beresford, formerly
Bishop of Kilmore, who died in 1841.
MODERN CRuiten BUILDING.—It has been found
necessary to close Failsworth church, near Manchester, in
consequence of the failure of the works. Almost im-
mediately after its completion, in 1840, the ceiling began
to fall, and it has continued to do so ever since, until at
length it has become dangerous to assemble within it.
The floors are nearly all destroyed by the dry-rot, and they
as well as the ceiling require to be entirely renewed,
