OPEN PULPIT AssAILED.
AssaiIing the "opeu pulpit Iegislati

Assailug the "opeu pulpit" legislation
Of he Episcopal Church at the Rich
mond general convention last yeaT,
which permits clergymen of other de-
nominations 10 speak from its pulpits,
Rev. DR.. William McGarvey, of st.
Elizabeth's Church, Philadelphia, with
in The last day or two has had distributed
copies of a pamphlet which has as
founded the Episcopal ministry in sll
parts of the country.
In the psmplei, which bears the title,
"The Open Pulpit in the Episcopal
Church." and which chsracterizes the
legislation as Revolutionary" and "de-
structive," the author not only decries
| the law, but goes further, and without
respect to persons, passes scathing crili-
cism upon the bishops Of the church,
"ihe ones mOst responsible" for their
acquiescence in the measure.
According to his idea, the Episcopal
Church of today is facing a situation
the seriousness of which cannot be ex-
aggerated.'
Throughout the whole history of the
Episcopal Church" he writes, fnever
WAS there such condition of affairs as
now coufrOnts US. Our supply of clergy
is diminishing at an appalling rate, and
our influence is waning in places where
once it was strongest.
In another place he says that The
"open pulpit" will in the end make The
"high churchman who still breaches
apostolic succession the laughing stock
OF both Protestant and Roman Catholic.
as a man lacking in logical sense" and
again, that 'it makes possible he sd
mission to our pulpits of heretical minis
ters as teachers OF souls"
Ia conclusion Dr. MoGarvey says: cot
course, the persons who will be sought
for, and for whom this clause OF the
canon was specially framed, are the min
listers of the various Protestant bodies.
NOw who are these ministers? They are
ministers of secls whose very existence
WAS the result of the rejection OF the
teaching aud authority of the church to
which we belong, sects which deny what
we hitherto, if no longer, have regarded
as fundamentally essential to the integ-
rily of the gospel.
GA Unitarian minister, the ayowed
blssphemer of the divinity OF the Son Of
God, may, under this canon, be legally
invited into our pul pits.
"And what will Protestant minister
teach? Anything he plesses. The canon
places no restrictions upon him, 80 that
one of our congregations may have in
turn the Baptist minister explaining the
ioolishress of infant baptism, the Pres
byterieu demon strating the novelty of
episcopscy, the Quaker showing the
uselessneso of all sscrsments, the Uni
tarisn emptying the Scriptures of all
witness to the divinity of Christ and
the Universslist comforting the bewild-
cred Episcopslan with the assurance
that, however great may be bis confu-
sion now, be has at least nothing to fear
beyond the grave.
ave certainly could not expect they
would be 80 lacking in seli-respect as
for the time to divest themselves of de-
nCminatiODal Office and principles and
to play the part of Episcop 'lisn clergy
men. ~
