On the Confessional.

The Rev Mr Jackson, ofIhe 81. PuuPs
Ritunlst Church, preached last night on
private confession and AbSOluIiOn.
IIo took the ground that the Scripture
writings Of the fathers, and tho English
reformep, and the Prayer Book, all show
that the priest has authority to convey
Gods pardon to the pouilcnt after true and
hearty confession Of bis sins, and advised
tho luity to avnilthemselvcS oftho blessing
whenever they felt the need fit, and to
value It as ono Of the most precious Privi-
cges which the good providence Of God
has preserved in his church.
The sermon was in reply to Bishop
Pinkuoy, Of Maryland, aud ia part Of q
discussion raised in tue EpiscOpalhu
Church here by the withdrawal Of Bishop
Cummins,
Dean Stanley said, 10 laIc sermon,
that as matter Of history, there arc no
