MoNAsTIcIsN IN THE EPIscoPAL CHURcH.-The
admission OF young clergyman to the Order Of
bishop OF the Protestant Episcopal diocese Of New
York, has elicited letter, addressed to Dr. Potter
the church. in which the latter expresses aston
tshment and distress at Bishop Potters action in
thus sancti0ning ssthe whole monastic system"
which was s'utteriy repudiared by the Church Of
England at the reformation" To this letter
Bishop Potter replies that the ceremony did not
commend itself wholly TO his taste or Judgment,
and the facts did not warrant the inference that IL
implied his Asancti0n OF the whole monastic sys-
tenn" The young man had taken the VOW cel1oacy,
poverty and obedience to the rules OF the society
with which he united himself, being In substance
the same VOW taken by every woman who joins
alsterho0d As SisterhoOdS had the sanction OF the
church, he did not see why hrOEherhOodS might not
exist for the same purpose. He adds that the vows
which he administered are not frrey0cable, and had
they been 50 he should have declined to administer
them.
