The Work of Parish Priests in
England.

The London Peoples Magdzjne is publish
ing a series of papers entitled ''Our Parish
Priests; their Work and their Play, their
Helpers and their Hinderers" from one of
which we copy the following epitome:
''To live among the people, whether in the
crowded courts of towns, or in the solitude of
entirely country villages; to pass from house
to house-ay, from mansion to hovel-a me-
dunn of communication, vehicle of infor-
nation, between rich and middle classes and
poor to make themselves sharers in the cares
and troubles, in the interests and joys of their
flock; to explain away little misunderstand-
ings; to heal little sorenesses; to smooth
little irritations; to atone little feuds; to be
safety-valve for little discontents Gall these
being lurking and undeveloped dangers);
to relieve want that would never have
been known, or have been known by
some outbreak of crime, but for their
searching OUT to go about preaching
peace and obedience, temperance, virtue, and
godliness; instilling principles of order; re-
fning and raising the thoughts OF the people
by their conversation and influence, even by
the mere fact of their expected visits; aiding
in the improving of their houses, in the pro-
motion of health and cleanliness; to superin-
tend and share in the education of the next
generation in intelligence, in moral, yea, in
religious principles-this is their work. And
now suppose that such a oral-pollce system
as this were a scheme devised by some adml-
rable statesman, and not really, though
quietly. at work, what Government would not
hail such plan as good almost beyond even
any reasonable hope 7?
