ritualstic proclivities. In the range OF
the debate the Cummins movement will
also be embraced.
This controversy about Ritualism has
been going on in the church for many
years, and was the chief subject Of con-
tention in the Baltimore Convention,
and it is to be hoped that it will now
be settled in manner that will secure
greater uniformity in the church ser
vices, and repress the idolatrous tenden-
cies of the High church party. \ large
majority Of the Diocesan conventions
adopted resolutions condemnatory OF
ritualistic extremes, and there will be
general disappointment should this
General Convention fail to reflect the
sentiment of the great body OF the
church in an authoritative declaration:
The solution of the problem would
seem to consist in the adoption OF a
standard, which will exact conformity
in essentials and allow liberty in non
essentials.
Sine. the above was written, we learn
from SUNDAYS New York papers that
strong memorial from tie Maryland
and Virginia delegations petitioning for
clause opposing ritualism were on the
dav before presented, read and referred
