The Protestant Faith.

The London correspondent of the New
York World, in late letter, informs us
that there was whimsical and peculiarly
"English" scene in the judicial committee
of the Privy Council recently, when, for
perhaps the hundredth time, an attempt
was made to judicially determine what the
Church of England teaches. Says the
writer:
A year or two ago an ingenious writer
published pamphlet with a view to show
That Clergyman of the Church of England,
as by law established" might with per-
feet consistency, and without infringing
any of the famous Thirty-nine Articles,
teach his flock what I" the fool said in his
heart-there is no God" The way in which
this startling and apparently parodoxical
problem was solved may be briefly de-
scribcd. One of the Thirty Articles
affirms that all Churches are liable to
error, and that as the Churches of Antioch
and Jerusalem have erred, so likewise doth
the Church of Rome err. In other words,
it asserts that no Church body here on
| earth possesses the gift of Infallibility. Of
course therefore, the Church of England
may be wholly wrong on matter of faith.
If, however, it can err in one point of faith,
it is obvious that it may err in any OF in
all, for it would be absurd to maintain that
a Church can err on one point and not on
others. These propositions are clear and
undeniable. If, then, a clergyman should
think proper to preach atheism to the peO-
pie who "sit under" him, he might justify
his conduct with the greatest ease and most
conclusive logic. In answer to his accusers
he might urge that as his Church admitted
it might perhaps be wrong, none of its
members were obliged to believe in the
existence of the Deity, even although the
one who persistently maintained the neces-
.sity of a belief in God would be a traitor
to his Church, as he would thereby affirm
an ipfallibility which one of the articles
wholly disclaimed.
Such was the drift of the bitter sarcasm
directed, not by an nltramontane bigot,
against his spiritual mother shortly after
one of those decisions of the Judicial Com
mfttee which have of late years so griev-
ously scandalized the most Jealous men,
bers ofthe Anglican communion. But many
truth is uttered as a joke, and the case of
the "Reverend" Mr.. Voysey tends to prove
that the position assumed by the satirical
pamphleteer is far from being an untenable
one.
Mr.. Voysey, who for many years past has
been in the enjoyment of fat living in the
county of York, acquired an unenviable
notoriety for the freedom with which he
handled religious topics. 1t was clear that
he had throughout imbibed the extreme
| notions of the railroads.&c. theologians of
modern Germany, and that he did not mean
to hide this new light under a bushel. The
orthodox old ladies and gentlemen of the
northern diocese were scandalized; the
subject found its way in due course to the
columns of the sectarian papers of the me-
tropolis; sage old parsons shook their
heads, and finally it was resolved that
something must be done. In June, Ieo9,
