WASHINGTON. March 9.-Rev. Mr.. Jack
.,r, Of s. paul's rituaistic church, preached
sermon l.s. night on private confession
and dissolution, which, it was understood, was
intended as reply to the recent sermon Of

Holy Scriptures, from the writings OF the
early fathers, the English reformers, anu
from the book Of prayer, that the priest has
authority 10 convey Gods pardon to the
penitent after true and hearty confession
Of MS sins, and advised the laity to avsi
themselves Of the blessing whenever they
felt the need of it, aud TO value it as one o.

Episcopal Church circles are somewhat agl
sa,"d to-day over this sermon.
