The Methodist, of New York, is graft

Church are not blind to the danger
which threatens them. It says the
declaration takes a bold stand and
utters no uncertain sound. 1t adds
that
They will never separate from the
principles which they so forcibly set
forth. And it will cheer them in
their struggle to know that the whole
Protestant world looks upon the pro-

HIGH CHURCH CHRISTMAS. SERVICES.
From the New York Tribnne.]
A large and fashionable, eongreea-
ton assembled in St. Adams Chap
ell, ofrituahstic fame, to celebrate the
anniversary of the birth Aof Christ.
The space is so very limited that
many persons went away disappoint-
ed. and many more had only standing
room. The Church is very tastefully
decorated with evergreens, banners.
&C., while the arrangements of, the
alter is the same as In the Roman
Catholic Churches, except that the
tabernacle in which the, Host is re-
served, is wanting. The morning
service prior to the holy communion
differed little from that of Trinity,
and Anglo. Catholic Churches gener-
ally, both In this country and in Eng
land. The vestments of the Clergy,
however, formed an exception; white
embroidered stoles being worn on this
occasion instead Of black The SER
mon was preached by the Rev. Oliver
s. Prescott, who put on a white stole
with black border before commenc-
ing, and crossed himself thrice on the
forehead and breast, according to the
custom of the Roman and Holy East
ern Churches.
Considerably less than half the con-
gregatioh left at the conclusion Of the
morning prayers, the greater number
remaining TO witness the celebration
and partake of the consecrated ele-
ments. The larger candles on the
altar were now lighted by an acolyte
vested In short surplice and long cas-
sock-the ordinary vestments of the
Roman clergy when not celebrating.
The ringing Of the bell was also no
ticeable as not being usual in Angli-
can churches The Rev. McWalter
Noyes was the celebIant, the Revs.
Morrill, and Prescott acting as deacon
aud sub deacon. The celebrant was
vested in chasuble, the deacon wore
a dalmatic, and the sub-deacon a
tunicle. Each wore a maniple, which
is like short stole, over the left arm.
A laced alb was also worn both by
the ce'ebrant and the deacon.
The celebrant sang the Communion
Office after the Roman manner, instead
of the usual intoning in monotone.
The majority of the congregation
were apparently Anglo Catholic and
Ritualistie in principle; some, how
ever, had evidently paid visit of Gu
riOsity. Episcopalians of what the
late Mr. COnybeare termed the High
and Dry or Low and Sow schools,
were no doubt considers bly, oerplex-
ed, if not shocked, at a spectacle so
unlike the traditional Church service.
1t should be RENE mbered, however,
that2if we go back to the days OF Ed
ward the With and Elizabeth. we
shall find these vestments, genufex-
ions, and histrionic services quite en-
regle, and the Georgian plain style
the subsequent innovation. The
Ritualists, both here and in England,
are able to make out a pretty strong
case, and Evangelical Bishops are
forced to tolerate ritual which they
do not approve ST. Adams cannot
rightly be said to take the Latin
Church as its model, as in many par
tieulars it more closely resembles the
Greek or Eastern Churches. Vespers
were said, as usual, at 4 in the after
noon. IS
