The present condition OF our country tells us

would have cut of their right hands or wished
their tongues TO cleave TO the roofs OF their
mouths before they would have spoken or

tai pretending to offer up Christ daily was
serious error and the tendency of the syste m
was simply TO lake the priest offer up sacrifices

by the Protestant Episcopal Church; the very
name OF Protestant showed these. and accord

extract from the ordination services OF the
Roman and Episcopal Churches. where in the
other the simple authority to preach the word
was given. The preacher next referred TO tue
power of forgiving sins claimed by the clergy.
and denied that any such power was possessed
by them. Ifs such were allowed, any man
might assail another; and what did prevent
a man from assailing himself? A second error
was the giving of ecclesiastical censure,
which was the same as giving the power
this matter, and again referred to the Eu-
charist as not being by any means pro-
who stated that the title of priest, as applied TO
minister by no means gave him power either
TO sacrifice propitiatory or TO forgive or retain
sins. He next alluded to the Innovations which
have taken place in sensuous ceremonies,
which merely strike the eye. A minister was
not ordained to be master OF ceremonies, to
value the cut and color of garments, and 10 bow

another and far more dangerous business,
which could only be evaded by going back to
the pristine purity of our religion. We main.

Himself the only propitiator, and His blood the
only cleanser of sin, while His word was our
only absoluiion and intercesssion, and II had
tho Sc in their simplicity and purity, then we
had the true faith If not a Protestant Church
we hao no right to be q church at all, and the
Reformation would be considered mere sham.
On this platform we must stand and make
Christ as He is, the Alpha and Omega, and the
Author and Finisher of our faith.
