RELIGIOUS.

The Rev. Mr.. Morrill,, Rector ofthe celebrated
little Episcopal chapel ofSt Adams, New York
City, representing what are called High Church
principles, lately preached a sermon to his peo-
pie from which we make brief extract as ex-
hioinng the real sentiment entertained by this
not very well understood class of christians tc-
ward the Church of Rome and also toward
their own Low Church" brethren. Speaking
OF the abuse lavished on st. Albans for its sun
posed tendencies to Romanism he saws:
FAINT not, fret not, over the disorder We are
compeIies 10 witness in our portion of Christ's
one UNIVERSAL Church, as though it were some
strange thing Never be so wilful and unwise
as to mediate flight tU the other communion
which has a. foothold in our land. as though
thereby ye should secure peace. Ye would In
uu'n, only exchange one set of evils for another
OF grdDer character by far. Greater are her
corruptions than ours Harder will he bor
curse than ours. Easier is it to be and i've n
catholic in our section of the fold than in bers
anu tnis-to be CONSTANT Catholics not Hiph
Iap,sss its ana Marlolaters, not Protestants, and
skeptcs-tnls should be our supreme aim, our
constant endeavor. Be not, then terrified or
even disturbed by the fury of our mistaken Pm
rltan brethren, but prat God to pour the light
Oh ms truth upon them, and to set in order
among them the things that are wanting. And.
on the other hand, be not seduced by the CON,
noent Doastlngs of other brethren-of another
section of the Fold-who absurdly refuse ia ns
the hand of fellowship, because we cannot adj
mt tne most preposterous OF assumptions
GO forward, then, as ye have begun. TURNING
neither to the right hand nor the left.
