The. Norfolk, England, Herald describes
an exciting scene that occurred at the cleo
ton of churehwardens for the Church Of s.
John, Maddermarket, in that town. The
rector, the Rev. H l.. Rumsey, appears to
| have rendered himself thoroughly obnoxi-
| GUS by his attempts to Introduce Ritualistic
practices into the church, and here we
have the result. The chairman of the meet

done by the parish. Mr.. Sewell replied,
"Mr. Chamberlain, you leave it to me. I
promise you faithfully You shall not have
High Chureh%sn, nor yet m man who has
Maddermarket." And yet we have sent
here Mr.. Rumsey from S. Barnabas, Pimli-
go, the highest Popish place in London.
When Mr.. Gladstone sends down his in-
quirS to Oxford shall lay the whole facts
before the Com missioners, and give evil
dence to show that We want no such trum-
perry. 1t is an abomination to the ProtesD
ant Church of England to have Pnseyism
Ritualism, and Popery introduced into it.
1t is thing that will undermine the
Church. II such things continue, 1 pray
cd that the Church Of EngIand may be
disestablished before another twelve
months elapse. Sooner than submit to
such practice, would be the first to put
my hand to paper asking for the disestab-
lishment of the Church. Our Protestant
forefathers bled and died for the Faith; but
last year, through these practices, 2. 900
persons in London alone joined the Com
munion of the CHURCH OF Rome. q.
Mr.. Tillett: Hear, hear. Quite trNAx
The Chairman: Is it to be supposed That
we, in the nineteenth century, are going to
put up with these practices 7
Parishioner: They are only abomina
BILE heresies, and nothing else.
The Chairman: Christ died once for all,
and there cannot be, as is pretended, re-
peated sacrifice
The Rector: The discussion is now TAX
ing theological turn don't think we
can enter upon such questions here.
The Chairman "You will see in your fu-
.ture career here that you will have q
staunch body of men to oppose you.

the star Of English R,tualism, CLEANS upon
US with q strange and unwhok me glare
that dazzles the eyes and crazes til, miads
of half our people. The newspapers are
full of it; fashion fondles it; bishops daily
with it; the masses stare at it,--and
strangest sight of all--there are to be found
even so called Protestants who are trying
their best to get as near to it as they dare.
The advance this Easter is exceedingly
marked, and quite justifies the proud
swelling words of vanity that every where
meets us in the organs Of the Ritualistic
movement"
The Church Herald states that Bishop
Fraser, of Manchester, in q recent sermon,
gave it as his opinion that for a clergyman
to preach in his surpiice, to have the altar
properly dressed, and his church decked
with flowers, ought not to be etigmatiEed as
in the Lancashire churches was the rule
rather than the exception and that some
of Lancashire's wealth should be layished
on Code honses.
