The Episcopal Bench.
The Protestant Episcopal Church in the United
States has forty nine bishops. The Right Rev. B. B.
Smith, D. D., Of Kentucky, Is the presiding bishop;
the Right Rev. G. P. McIlvaine, D. D., LII. D., OF
Ohio, the next in seniority, and the Right Rev. F. D..
Huntingdon DID,, Central New York, the last IN the
order Of conservation. Bishop Tuttle, of Idaho and
Utah. is the youngest in age, and Bishop Kemper, OF
Wisconsin, the Oldest Bishop Southgate formerly
in charge OF the Turkish Mission, and Bishop Payne
late of Africa. are the only American bishops who
have resigned foreign jurisdictions.
RITUALIsTIC.
The Episcopal bench may be thus theologcally
classihed:-Thrty- three High Church. two Broad
Church, fourteen Low Church. or the "high" class
q dozen are more or less inclined to rituasm-nOt
given to Its excesses but favorable to many OF its
forms and measures. Such believe that the worship
OF heaven is model for that of earth; that that
worship admits lin symbols. at least Of affairs and
incense, and lights and jewels, and robes and harps
and songs and alterations, which some call Popsh.
They believe that the Church, like nature, has her
varied seasons, and should dress accordingly;
that Christian symbolism. like the bow in the cloud
teaches divine truth; that flower is suggestive Of
spiritual thought, that we should "cOnsider the
lilies even In church, that we should "beauty the
sanctuary" worship the Lord In the beauty OF ho-
hness,n bring gifts to His altar, dwell IN His courts
"walk about zion," &c. Daily prayer, free seats,
surpliced chOlrs, choral services, weekly cOmmuS
mons, frequent offertOres elaborate decorations,
systematic charities are in vogue with this Class.
Most of them have their own cathedrals, which are
the centres OF diocesan unity as IN Maine, Western
New York, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota Me-
The bishops VINO own cathedrals are not ALL how
ever ritualists. Lee OF Iowa, and Coke OF Western
New York, are quite the reverse. Perhaps the bish
ops best entitled to that distinction are BeckwIth,
Doane, Whitenouse, Young, Whlpple, Nicely and

In this connection we refer to the fact that the

All bishops are more or less pugnaclous and given to
apostolic blows and knocks. But all have not en-.

Mcilvalne and McCOskry. bisnOp Ives has been the
only Episcopal pervert to RomanIsm.
HIGH AND DRY.
The Rev. w. J. Conybeare some years since pub
ished an article on "Church Parties" III an English
quarterly which included class OF churchmen called
''Hlgh and Dry" To this class appertain many OF
the following names. They are noted for the tena-
CITY with which they stick to the Prayer Book as it
IN. They are extremely conservative OF old ways
and notions; they repudlate all schemes of reverson
or reformati0n they prefer Protestant TO Catholic
custom. and American to Sarum ''use.n They have
no taste for aesthetics or ecclesloogy, delight more
In dogmas than dalmatcs creeds than chasubles;
articles OF religion than antependums. They are
content to live by the standard OF Bishop Hobart,
and 10 die with his age. All advance or retrogade
from that standard Is deemed unsafe and unsound.
Among this class may be reckoned Bishop Whiting
ham, of Maryland, The aDiest the0l0gan on the
bench. He was once a Professor In the General
