enter upon any full exposition Of the wide
reasons connected with the doctrlnal and
ritual attitude ofthe Protestant Episcopal
Church, which, have impelled me to the
course j have marked out for myself. Suf.
nee 1t now to say that In my view tho DO.
sltion Of the Church as o living, acting
organization, whatever the alleged sound.
ness OF Its doctrinal formularles may, be,
is essentially, incressinglyiahd h0peiessy
~ omanizing positionT / sly hopelessly
30, for the one obvious reason, among
many, that the dominant party in the Pro.
testant Episcopal Church cannot ever be
expected to renounce its distinctive lea-
lures any more than can the evangelical
body IN the Church abandon the truth Of
God, which Is to them dearer than life,
g The opposition Of the two systems is
diametrlc and indestructible. Protestant
and RomiSh saeramen tarianism cannot
now live and breathe together, any more
than they did when the deep and vital
contrarieties Of Church parties In the six.
teenth century eliminated In the separa-
ton Of the ever blessed Reformation.

episcopal Church, among many graverl
reasons, bscause ] am unwilling ionge 1ol

with which / am connected. Member

wolves liberation, and directly or indirect
" patronage Of the objects and operations
Of that organization, and in the case Of a
church which believe, has departed from
the, faith, to have membership therein. ia
70 contribute to the subversion ol the
souls Of the people and to the dishonot OF
the Lord Jesus.
With deep sense Of the Bolemnity of
the step l am takingin this severance from
the Church Of my fathers and with every
sentiment Of good will towards yourself,
from whom, during my connection with
the diocese, have received only courtesy
and kindness, remain, very respectfully,

Oysters Growing ON Trees.

Mr. G. H. Williams, Fellow of the
Geographical Society of England, tells
us, in the Hartford Times, how oysters
inhabit the mangrove woods in Cuba.
+" For several years." he says, 81 re-
sided in that island, and travelled there
more than the ordinary run of foreign
ers. and have several times come across
scenes which many people would con
slider great curiOsities--one in particu-
lar. No doubt the reader will open
his eyes at oysters growing on trees.
Often have | seen the sneer of unbelief
on the face of tine ignorant when the
fact had been mentioned; but grow
they do, and in immense quantities,
especially in the southern part of the
island. | have seen miles of trees, the
lower stems and branches of which were
literally covered with them. and many
a good meal have | enjoyed with very
little trouble of procuring, and not
quite so expensive % they are in Lon
don ut the present time. ! simply
placed the branches over the fire, and,
when opened, | picked them out with a
fork or pointed stick. These peculiar
she'll fish are indigenous in lagoons and
swamps on the coast, and as far as the
tide will rise and the spray fly, SO will
they cling to the lower parts of the
mangrove trees, sometimes four or five
deep, the mangrove being one of the
very few trees that flourish in salt
water.
