RITUALlsM IN ENGLAND.
ReJoinder OF the Church Association to the
Letter OF the Arcbbishops.

Letter OF the Arcbbishops.
The Church Association, one OF the strong
est religious bodies In England has published
a rejonder to the letters Of the archblshops
on Ritualism, In reply to the petition of the
sixty thousand praying that Remaining prac-
tees might be dealt with according 10 the
discipline. The late discussion Of the ques-
ton In the House Of Lords has given the sub
ject universal prominence. Tho following Is
the essential part Of the rejoinder:
Neither the Council nor the memorialists
ever expected the bishops to undertake judi
cial proceedings upon every complaint OF yio-
lation OF the rubrfcs, as is assumed in their
letter; but from the answers generally given
by their lordshlps TO complaints OF grossly
illegal acts by the clergy, the complainants
arc led to suppose that there are no effectual
and inexpensive means Of REFRESHING such
acts within their lordships power. II II were
not for this, 1t might appear impertinent for
the Council TO suggest measure. that might
be effective, and, with Gods blessing, avert
the imminent peril to which the Church Is
exposed. section of this dangerous minor
ity, Ut Is feared not nearly the whole, to the
number Of 4S3 clergymen, stands out self

We are 'rejoicod at It, for the reason that since

and well deserved the applause
they received. All this with the

which was snjoined by d taxpayer.
The case went to the Supreme
Court, where it was fled in May,
1870, the question to be decided
being the Oonstitutionality Of the
law authorizing tho voting Of the
tax, The old court advanced tho
case, and on the 14th Of August il
was argued orally, but no decision
was made, and in January, 1871,
the new members Of the Supreme
Court went on the bench. They
heard tho case argued in March,
and on the 18th Of April the opin-
ion was filed, Judge Buskirk af.
firming the coustitutionality Of the
tax, In consequence Of this the
tax was collected and paid to tho
railroad company. lsl's

A Coop USE OF Wr.-While Phineas
Rice, an early Methodist preacher, was sta
toned in one of the New York churches,
he found that many of the young people of
both sexes were accustomed to leave the
church before the close of the evening SER
vice. 1t annoyed him, and he determined
to stop it. The next Sabbath evening, be-
fore he commenced his sermon, he said:
Some of my brethren have been greatly
afflicted that so many young women leave
the church before the service is through.
But tell them they ought Dot to feel so,
for doubtless most of those that 90 out are
young women who live at service, and their
mistresses desire them to be at home at
nine o'clock and if they are not home at
that time, they will either lose their place or
offend their mstreSses, and they don't want
to do either. They must either 90 out in
time to get home at nine o'clock, or stay
home altogether. This would be very hard
for them. And servant girls have beaux as
well as other girls, and the young men have
to go out and wait upon them home and
so, hereafter, when these young women
leave the church before the service is over.
you will understand who they are and not
feel badly about it" rsT9 -Ff
The brother who gave this fact, said ::
ave were no more annoyed after this );
they either stayed away or stayed till meeting
was closed.-Montredt Witness.
