Our readers may remember that some time
aso IN English Colonial Bishop, "the Right
Rev. John William Co1enso, D. D., Bishop of
Natal''-as the Ecclesiastical nomenclature
has ft-wrote book entitled "The Penta-
teuch and Book Of Joshua. Critically Exam
med" It was not an orthodox book, such as
we might have expected from Christian
Bishop sworn to believe in the Thirty. nine
Articles, the plenary inspiration Of the holy
Scriptures, and the immaculate character Of
the Holy Virgin, hut heterodox book, such
as might very well hare been written by
Thomas Paine. whose painful "Age Of Rea-
SOM called forth real, live Bishop to the
rescue Of the Bible, against this hard smiter
of its bulwarls. And IS If It we're IN the
blood Of Bishops to be irreligious, Bishop
Tatson's stApology'' as it was called ttfor the
| Bible" in answer to Thomas Paine, was the
| most materia1istic book which had been writ

whom John Bnnyan in his vision Of the two

meant to, be religions, and Bishop Colenso
didn't-and this is the only difference bctweer
the two mitrcs.
| And yet, after all, Co1enso Is only irreN
eious in his historical disbelief Of The Mosait
narrative. In his reverence for the teaching'
Of Christ, and for Christianity as divine In
etitution, he has no superior; and there is
spirituality running through the whole Of hi
performance, which we rain1y look for in th|
pages of Bishop Watson. Being disbc
lever, however, in one point, he is a aisbe
lieyer in all, according to the creed Of hi
church, and Btands henceforth outside tn
