HIGH CEREMONIAL AT ST.. Aucrs-,,,,,
MISSION, STEPNEY.-On the morning of the
18th ult., there were low celebration and
mathis. The high celebration was at hale
past eleven, the Bishop of Honolulu being
the celebrant and preacher. At this service
the chapel was filled. The choir entered
singing professional hymn, headed by the

in procession. The service was well sung
by the bishop, who, unlike the generality

IN the habit of chanting the communion
office in his own cathedral. The Rev. Mr..
Baddely offclated as the bishops chaplain,
bishop held in his left hand while giving
the benediction. Evensong followed at
eight, and n sermon by the Rev W.M
Campion. At this service, which was ex-

lst OF All Saints, y, Margaret street, presided
elegantly decorated with flowers, banners,
and illuminated serolls-the font, sanctuary,
and altar having had special care bestowed
upon them: Two of the banners were
magnificeItly grand; they were lent by
Father Ignatius. The banner of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, with a raised figure of Our
Lady, was much admired. We conclude
our notice of this festival by congratulating
MIR. Cartwright on the good and great work
he is carrying on, and by expressing our
regret that the offertories during the octave
have been so very small.-Church Ners.
REV. T. T. CARTER, OF CLEVER, AND
THE PROGRESS OF SIsTERHooDs.-A CORE
spondent of the Record calls attention to
the fact that the Superior General of the
" Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament of
the Body and Blood of Christ" is Mr.. Car
ter, of Clever, Rector of Windsor, who is
also Warden and Confessor to the Clever
Sisterhood. The manual of this confrater-
nifty is privately printed by Masters, of
Bond street, the publisher of the Ritualist
works. They are sent by the Sisters to the
associates of Clever House of Mercy, now
numbering about six hundred persons. OF
Oxford is Visitor, and the Lady Superior is
Mrs. Monsell, the aunt of the Roman Cath
Ollie member for Limerick, sister of Lord
Inchiquin and the late William Smith
0Brien, and a frequent visitor at London
House, Mrs. TAFT being her cousin. The
House of Charity, Greek street, Solo, of
which the Rev. Mr.. Chambers, an extreme
Ritualist, is warden, as we'll as the adjacent
house, Rose street, is worked by Clever
Sisters. The house in Rose street is one of
the London houses where Mr.. Carter meets
ladies for confession. Mrs. MOnsell, Mrs.
TAFT, and Mrs. Gladstone may often be seen
visiting the various Sisterhoods in London
which they so ardently patronize.
The CHURCH OF ENGLAND.-One of the
strongest proofs of the growth of Ritualisnl
in our Mother Church is to be found in the
increase of publications in defense of that
system, which find large sale both in
England and this country. One of these
publications, which appears annually
Kalendar of the English Church ISSUED
by the Church Press Company, 10 Burleigh
street, London, is worthy of examination.
The "Kalendar" proper has some curious
notes, which assimilate it to the Roman
Catholic "Ordo." On Good Friday we are
told that "The altar should be stripped,
except of the cross and candles"
