Ritualism and Rome.

The conversion to Roman Catholicism
OF a Ritualist rector of the Episcopal
Church. announced last week. Is not in
itself Of any special significance. but at
this time when both in England and this
country there is a revival Of Protestant
agitation in that Church, produced by the
acpressiveness Of the extreme Ritualist
party, II will attract much attention.
The Rev. SAMUEL MACPHERSON, who
renounced Professionalism and received
conditional baptism into the Roman
Catholic Church on Thursday, had been
associated with that party, more or less
conspicuously, both here and in England.
He belonged to the Catholic school
OF the Episcopal Church which IL repre-
sented In this city so effectively by the
parishes of St. Tgnatius and 81. Mary
the Virgin. and in Boston by the Church
of the Advent. at which he had accepted
a curacy before going over to the
Church Of Rome.
Our report represents him as giving
the laxity and radical conflict OF doctrine
in the Episcopal Church as a reason for
his remuneration Of his old faith, but. OF
course, he has merely followed in the
steps Of JOHN HENRY NEWMAN and the
other Episcopal clergymen who have
gone to Rome in the conviction that there
alone Is true Church authority. When
NEWMAN went over. In iS45. as conse-
quence Of the Oxford Tract movement,
Il was expected that the exodus from the
Church of England would be porten-
tously great. and actually II was very
considerable numerically. but It was
never 80 large in this country as TO cause
any serious weakness in the Episcopal
Church, the period OF whose create st
growth has been since that time. The
losses TO Roman Catholicism have been
made UP many times over by acoessions
from other Protestant Churches. Only
last Sunday, for example, as many as
2i5 persons were confirmed at q mis-
sionary parish in New York, the Church
OF the Messiah, in Ninety-ffth street
near Third avenue, and OF the number.
1856 were grown men and women and IS
of them heads OF families. At Chicago.
on the same Sunday, out Of class Of
1876 confirmed at ST. Peters, only 50 had
been reared In the Episcopal Church.
The great body Of the present attendants
on Episoopal churches In all the great
cities of this country have come from
other communions.
Undoubtedly. however, desertlons Of
clerpymen to Rome are still frequent,
in England moro frequent than in this
country. The awakening of Protestant
spirit which was indicated by the recent
great vote in Parliament for the Church
Discipline bill has been due to the spresd
OF the Ritualist or Catholic party In

When the present salaries OF rural
Justices Of the Supreme Court were es-
tablished, the necessities OF expendi-
ture. as compared TO the present, were
insignificant. In the average village
where the Judge lived, his house was
lighted with kerosene lamp, his water
supply was drawn free of charge from
well In the backyard. the boy who did
the chores worked for his board and
went to school, and the only hired girl
did service as cook. laundress, waitress,
nurse and in various other capacities.
The hotel on the European plan, with
its expensive cafe, was practically I'M
known. The old tavern furnished a
temporary home and subsistence NJ
anywhere from 81 to s. day. the latter

Rochester and Syracuse. The number
OF days OF court was comparatively
few. and twenty years ago instead OF a
Special Term holding daily in Brooklyn
Buffalo and Rochester, a like court on
Monday Of each week su'ficed, and much
G. the time a Special Term on the first
Monday Of each month was enough.
People sometimes say that many
Judges receive more money on the bench
than they could earn in the practice OF
the law. Doubtless this is true In some
cases The fact. however, does not affect
the argument in favor Of making more
liberal provision for their expenses.
When in practice they were not Judges
of high courts. and the public did not
exact from them the duties Of official
and social activity that it insists upon
after they are placed upon the bench.
We think that the bill introduced by
Mr.. PHILLIPS Is the best cure that has
thus far been suggested for the existing
evils and that il should become law.

are to be found the most radical Of the

Roman Catholicism In doctrine and prac-
tice, they reject the primacy OF the
Bishop OF Rome, the sovereignty OF the

Is noteworthy, we may remark Incl
dentally. that Mr.. MACPHERSON Is a

Possibly. this new conversion TO Rome
will have somo effect on the election OF a
dean Of the General Theological Seminary
OF the Episcopal Church. which Is to take
place Ia Easter week, by strengthening
opposition to the High Church infiu-
ences which have given the tone to that
institution for many years past. The first

Dcnnitions or Christianity.


We have referred to several definitions
of Christianity which have been made re-
Gently by Christian preachers, by Chris
tian layman and by Buddhists. These
may be summarized thus.

Christianity Is not exclusive bu, Inclusive Of all
religions"
The Rev DR.. ). L. JoNxs Unitarian: II believes

Jssus CHRIST mans soul. man whole being. may
be saved. not for bis own pront chiefly, but ihst he

Of Him who loved him and ssvs Himssh for him.
Still another definition. offered In an
address entitled "A Logical Definition

the Row. DR.. FAIRBAiBN. tho Warden
Of the Episcopal st. Stephens Cole &c
at Annandale. in New York and now
printed. agrees essentially with Capt.
MAHAN and takes Issue squarely with the
others We have quoted. DR.. FAIRBAIRN
denies the identity Of Christianity with
Buddhism, with Judaism and with Uni
tarianism, and contends that II b . re-
ligion radically distinct from al other
religions. because its essence b that II

scribes as only a property Its essen
tial characteristics stand forth In Il
only Of all the religions Of the world
OF course. Christianity would never
have been preached and propagated II
this had not been its faith. 1t has been
offered to mankind - tho one and only
meaDs Of salvation. Except for that
belief there would have been no missions
10 the so-called heather. II Buddhism
and Christianity are substantially identi-
cal. why have thousands Of missionaries
for hundreds OF years been seeking to
convert Buddhists to Christianity! Are
the millions still expended annually on
the support Of Christian missions in
India, China and Japan contributed by
Christians on any other theory than that
the Gospel alone points out tho way Of
salvation for men in future state'
II the views we have quoted are SCUM l.
