4 Headless Church

An incident which has happened in the
colony Of British Columbia illustrates
very clearly the necessity of having a
head for a church, whether that head
DC Pope. king or parliament. 1t seems
that the rector Of an Anglican church in
vancouver had a dispute with his do
cesans concerning the additions in the adj
ministration of the sacrament and the
end of it was that the rector preached a
nrtinous sermon, lkening himself to
Wiclihe and the noble army Of martyrs,
and the bishop replied by Withdrawing
the rector's license. 1t seems that the
rector has no way Of appealing against
this decree. Canterbury and the British
Parliament and the law courts are closed
10 him as much as the doors of the
Vatican itself There is not, in fact, a
single clergyman of any Of these volun-
tary Anglican churches who may not
have any day placed over him a bishop
whose doctrine and practice are totally
at variance with his own, and who may
not. sooner or later, turn him out of his
living There is absolutely no security.
either in spiritual or temporal matters,
aud the only thing which prevents the
various Anglican bodies from splitting
into a hundred fragments is that as
rule the bishops recognize the necessity
of allowing their clergy to believe and
TO do that which seems good in their
own eyes.

that endures forever; something that
does not depend on human stability; nor
on human prescience; nor even on human
life. These are all uncertain. We have
tried them. We can only put our trust
IN that which abides through all vicis-

according to Peter, is the word Of the

Whatever else may fail us. I'm whatsoever
or whomsoever we may be disappointed,
the Gospel shall neither fail nor disap-

will. We may test it at once. and satisfy
ourselves Of its certainty. We have
sense of sin which troubles us. Let us
rest in the Gospel and see how quickly
