A correspondent, of the National Intellisencer, under
date at Lincolnshire, England, Jan. L, 1912, gives the fol-
lowing summary of the progress and doctrines Of this new
sect:

sEyIsM among the members of The church. the psoseiy1es

cases the most influential, Of the hitherto undoubted sons
Pussy, Hebrew Professor IN the university OF Oxford, and
Canon of Christ Church: Mr.. Newman, Fellow OF ofiel

men of great talent, and of no oritnar ~ stamp of mind
These men, and many others who have espoused the cause,
are actively eng-ged in printing and distributing what they
term the Orffd Tracts. These are already about ninety

ditiou (me a ming thereby something unwritten handed down
from the apostolic timcs) Is no less from God than the BIZ
BILE, and that Scripture and tradition together are the just
rule of faith. That the sacramenss, not preaching, ars tho
only means of grace. Thai none are justified bs iii bap-

forgiveness, though he repent. That the Lords supper
may be administered to dying, i%nsensible persons, and even
to infants. That ministers III the Apostolieal succession
have the gift of making bread and wine the body aud blood
OF Christ That they have the keys OF heaven and he'll
entrusted to them. That the church of Rome i. a true
church: but that all the P Presbyterian churches, such as the
established church OF Scotland, the Dissenting churches in
England, and the Reformed churches on the continent, are
and their sacraments no sacraments; that they are not in
covenant with God aud tina, Christ has not prom sd to be
with them, bu, with those only who ars IN the Aposioltcai
succession-Me Episeopaltans. That it's contrary TO the
teaching of Scripture TO bring forward the atonement ex-
plieitly and prominently on all occasions. That the church
of England nowhere restrains her children from praying for
their departed friends. That the mass is n sacrifice for
the quick and the dead; and that the great and good men,
whom the Protestant world have hitherto dignifet with the
title of Reformers, and hailed as benefactors to their race,
are but Refornlers, 50 called. The Oxford Tracts also
maintain that the bishops are A posties To us; Christ's fig
ure and likeness, a. certainly as il We saw upon each OF
their heads a clover tongue, like as OF fire. The Dissent
ers are called a mob, mud assailed with the most anprobri-
Gus and vulgar language. Such are some of the deiusIons
