VERY uIGH CHURCH The High Church
element in New York has been Kindled into
a blaze by the conservation of the New
Church of St, Albans. The little chapel of
Mr.. Hecker, where ritualism ran mad, and
the highest puscyism of New York have
been put into the shade by the gorgeous SER
vice of this new sanctuary. 1t is as near the
Roman Catholic worship as it is possible for
an Episcopal church to approach. Its name
is the "Catholic Church Of st. Albans. y
Steps approach to the altar, which is light
ed BY candles. Flowers and pictures adorn
the sanctuary as it is called. The rector is
q priest, and is surrounded by boys as in the
Catholic worship. The officiating clergy
men, in white over black robes that trail on
the ground, march in procession to the high
altar. The service is sung straight through,
either by the choir or the priest. Were the
prayers in Latin and the censor swung about
the altar, the illusion would be complete
The communion is celebrated every Sunday
| and is called the "Holy Eucharist The
officiating priest is called the "Celebrant.' y
The High Churchmen are In extacies ovel

than to print and place in proIer hands the
able and exhaustive report on the subjee-,

We have never read so many woris with less

like an essay to be read before a Debating society
in little town or country village. IL IS worthy
only Of a parish politician-one esteeming him

pretation given TO his words. We looked forward
for some definite announcement Of policy on
three points-viz, in respect Of the lately seced-
ed States, Of Great Britain, and Of France ap-
propos Of Mexico.
Everything else, unless We except the ques-
ton Of Finance, is to Us mere iustian-to his
own people Of very little importance. On the
first point he gives US school boy essay, signi-
fying nothing. On the second, be speaks IN an
unfriendly tone, but without suggesting any
