We have to record the consecration of this Church, on Monday, the 17th August. As there are several points of special interest connected with this Church, we give a some- what full report of the proceedings. Brome Woods, or Iron Hill Church, is situated in an extremely picturesque locality. A double range of moun- tains runs north and south, and in a deep valley lying between is the Church. One great charm of this valley is its deep seclusion, lying off the main lines of travel, scarcely, if at all, known to tourists as yet. There is the Editor of llii Church Advocate'.) SiK, — In my account of the Consecration of the Holy Trinity Church, Bronic Woods, which appeared in your last number, there are errata, one or two of which require notice. On page 9, " On the western point,''^ should read, '•' western front ;" also *' Church of the hnmhle type," should read, Church of the hixmhlest type." The former is necessary for a correct architectural description, and the latter is of some importance to the Incumbent, inasmuch as we know that he has been misrepresented as building a cathedral instead of the simple, yet beautiful. Church which he has succeeded in erecting. There ought to have been many more such all 3 SARUM USE. over the country, if only church builders had been equally competent in the work. A more serious error, inasmuch as it is one affecting the late Bishop, occurs on page 10, where ' preacher^" is printed instead of " preachm^/.'' It is due to the memory of the lamented Bishop to explain this, not only because there is a certain degree of interest attaching to his last utterances, but also lest he should seem to have spoken in terms implying reproach or undervaluing of the ordinances of preaching. This the Bishop by no means did. He simply assigned to it its true place in the general work of the Christian sanctuary. Of course, in this there was an indirect protest imphed, and expressed also, against the undue elevation of preaching, which is a marked feature in the Puritan system, as distinguished from that of the Church. It may also be stated as a point which has now some special interest, after the late debates on Ritualism in the Provincial Synod, that the late Metropolitan preached a ser- mon to which the above reference is made, from the Altar, or Holy Table, using a small book desk placed at the North West corner, of choice, in preference to using the lectern for the occasion. To the Editor of the Canadian Churchman. My Dear Sir, — Professor Wilson, at the late meeting of the members of the Provincial Synod, made an attack upon Holy Trinity Church and its services. He so evidently spoke of things he did not know, and his objections were so ably met by my dear friend, Mr. DarHng, that I have not hitherto felt called upon to notice his attack. But the Church SARUM USE. 9 Observer (which is, as perhaps you may be aware, the organ of an obscure ultra-Protestant cHque in Montreal) has been following up Mr. Wilson's attack, borrowing his ideas and phrases. The crow has followed the kite. I would not have the modest Church in which I minister in holy things, and the decent worship that is offered therein accounted carrion fit for such an ill-conditioned bird, and therefore I beg that you will give me room in the Clturchman for a few remarks. Holy Trinity is one of two Churches in my incumbency. It was consecrated by the late Bishop Fulford on the 10th of August last. Nine of the clergy of the immediate neigh- bourhood assisted on the occasion. The services were simple and hearty. Our much loved and much lamented Bishop seemed to enjoy them thoroughly. The most noteworthy things from a Ritualistic point of view in the day's proceedings were done and said by the Bishop himself. These items may be interesting to some of your readers. — The Bishop reverently passed the altar and signed the consecration deed at the credence. He did not leave the sacrarium, but stood at the north-west corner of the altar to deliver the sermon. He said it was well that the Church should be the most beautiful house in the place, because it was God's house. In the evening, whilst I was driving him to the next village, he said, " The legality of the vestments is settled — it is useless to call it in question," and " I fear ive shall have trouble in the Provincial Synod.'^^ A friend kindly undertook to send an account of the con- secration to the Church Advocate. To enable him to do so, I gave him the names of the Clergy who were present and a few particulars concerning the Church and its ornaments. I said " the altar was vested in white accordino; to Sarum rule." 10 SARUM USE. This statement appeared in the Advocate^ was pounced upon by Mr. Wilson, and mangled and gorged by the doughty Observer. In its 34th No., in an article headed Sarum Use, the Observer alludes to the recent consecration of a Church in the Diocese of Montreal, where, according to the narrative of the Church Advocate, the " altar was vested according to Sarum Use." It then gives quotations from the " Sarum Missal, " interlarding them with comments, and adding : " The specimens we have given will show how dangerous ai*e the lengths which some extreme men have already ventured in Canada, where " Sarum Use" has already been introduced in our midst." Unhappily for the reputation of the Observer, its remarks are founded upon a falsehood. The Church Advocate did not say " the altar was vested according to Sarum Use," but the altar was vested in ivhite according to Sarum rule. Among the observations of the Observer is this : " It has been well said by a recent writer ; — # * * * " with all its imperfections," the English Prayer Book is a noble work beside every old Latin Missal." I can hardly lay myself open, then, to a charge of heterodoxy from the Ob- server, if I allow that the English Prayer Book has imperfec- tions. Let us call it an imperfection that it does not supply a rule for the application of colour in the decoration of churches. There are proprieties in the application of colour. If mourn- ers were attired in the gay habiliments of the ball-room, it would shock our sense of propriety. If bride-maids were clad in the trappings of woe it would do the same. While black is used at funerals and white at weddings, men cannot deny that there are proprieties in the application of colour. In the absence of a Prayer Book rule, we have to look else- \ SARUM USE. 11 ^> vfhQYQ for guidance in the application of colour for church decoration. We know what the Roman rule is — we know what the " Sarum " or old English rule was. It was a differ- ent rule from the Roman. The altar of Holy Trinity Church, when that Church was dedicated, was " vested in white," according to the '' Sarum rule." " 0," says the Observer, " those extreme men have introduced Sarum Use " (i.e. Service Book) into our midst. A sensible deduction truly ! According to this mode of argument we might say — the clerical patrons of the Church Observer wear the Benedictine black gown, therefore, they belong to the Srd Order of Brother Igna- tius. How dangerous are the lengths which some extreme men have already ventured in Canada, inhere the order of St. Benedict has already been introduced in our midst ! From his remarks we should judge that the Editor of th% Observer imagines that the Sarum Missal could only have been translated in the hope of making Roman proselytes. It does not seem to have occurred to him that the expression of the faith and the piety of our forefathers, may be interesting to the antiquary, the historian and the ecclesiologist. The Koran was printed in English some years ago ; does he, I wonder, suppose that its publishers intended to 3Iahommed- anize our people. The Observer has quoted largely from the •' Sarum Missal." I would commend this sentiment to the consideration of its readers. How dangerous are the lengths which some extreme men have already ventured in Canada., tuhere Sarum Use has already been introduced in our midst. I am, dear Sir, yours sincerely, T. W. FYLES, In:umbent of Holy Trinity, Brome Woods. 12 SARUM USE. To the Editor of the Church Observer. Sir, — I write to correct two or three mistakes into which you have fallen in the somewhat extended notice you have given to my letter. Yoi! say that I object to the term Ritualist. I beg your pardon : I do no such thing. I think the term an honourable one. I thank you for applying it to me. You say the term Altar is unscriptural. So saying, you condemn the Fathers, the leading Divines of the Church, and the Church itself. The primitive Christians, as far as we know, always spoke of God's Board as the Altar. Dionysius of Alexandria seems to have been the first who called it a table. Athanasius, in the fourth century, followed the exam- ple of Dionysius, but explained that by the term tahle^ he meant the Altar. The Lord's Table is called " the Altar," by Bishops Overall, Sparrow, Cosins, Beveridge, Bull, and a host of others. " The Coronation Service," as used when our Queen was crowned, directed the Archbishop to go to the Altar, and put on his Cope — the Queen to go down to the Altar, and kneel upon the steps of it, and make her obla- tions, which were to be reverently laid upon the Altar — the Dean and Prebendaries of Westminster to stand on the south side, east of the Queen's chair, nearer the Altar, &c. You say moreover that the term Altar is " directly con- trary to the Book of Common Prayer." The Book of Common Prayer speaks of the Priest and a sacrifice ; and an Altar is necessary to these. And the term Altar is not forbidden in the Book of Common Prayer. Therefore, the term Altar is in accordance with, and not contrary to that Book. '> SARUM USE. 18 4 You do not of course imagine that your objection to the term Altar makes it wrong. You say that " Custom has sanctioned the covering of the table, pulpit and reading-desk with some decent cloth." Exactly, and the old English custom, which the Prayer Book does not forbid, sanctioned a sequence of coloured cloth to suit the Kalendar. In this sequence were White for seasons of joy, Red for days of triumph, Green for ordinary times, and Violet for times of sadness. I was not aware that " Blue" was one of the colours set forth in the Sarum rule. I thank you for your information concerning it. I can hardly accept you as an authority ; but I will look into the matter more closely. I was aware that the " Reformers" assigned to the Parish Church of Strode " a clothe to hang before the Table of yalowe and blue sylke ;" and also that they assigned to St. Nicholas, Rochester, " a Coope of blue damaske with floweres for inferior dayes ;" but I did not know that the Sarum rule enjoined Blue as one of the colours for altar cloths. In return for the information you have given me, let me inform you that the difference between a covered altar and a vested altar is this — a covered altar has a cloth spread upon the top of it ; a vested altar is an altar enclosed with a cloth. Does custom sanction the use of the latter ? You speak of " dark and dumb ceremonies." I can read- ily understand that the hanging of a dumb-stove or " warming apparatus" * with black cloth may be a proceeding both dark and dumb ; but how the vesting of an Altar in white can be See the Chancel arrangements of Trinity Church, Montreal. 14 SARUM USE. accounted dark, (except, indeed, by those who put darkness for light, and light for darkness), I cannot perceive. The words of the Preface to the Book of Common Prayer respecting Salisbury, or Sarum Use, of which so much has been said, are these : — " And whereas heretofore there hath been great diver- " sity in saying and singing in Churches within this " Realm ; some following Saluhury Use, some Hereford " Use, and some the Use of Bangor, some of York, some " of Lincoln ; now from henceforth all the whole Realm " shall have but one Use." Now what the vesting of the Altar has to do with the for- bidden " diversity in saying and singing in Churches'* is beyond my comprehension. You thought my words *' founded upon a falsehood" un- gentlemanly. I must acknowledge that I am not " well up" in Touchstone's " degrees" * — the Retort courteous, the Quip modest, the Reply churlish, the Reproof valiant, &c. What I uished to convey was this — You made a statement that was not true, and built up a false accusation upon it. If you make *" Touch. — Sir, we quarrel in print, by the book ; as you have books for good manners : I will name you the degrees. The first, the Retort courteous ; the second, the Quip modest ; the third, the Reply churlish ; the fourth, the Reproof valiant ; the fifth, the Countercheck quarrelsome ; the sixth, the Lie with circumstance ; the seventh, the Lie direct. All these you may avoid, but the lie direct; and you may avoid that too, with an If. I knew when seven justices could not take up a quarrel • but when the parties were met themselves, one of them thought but of an If, as. If you said so, then I said so; and they shook hands, and swore brothers. Your If is the only peacemaker; much virtue in If. — As You Like It. SARUM USE. 15 'vvanton attacks upon your neighbours, you must expect a buffetting now and again : and it is no use ejaculating every 'time you are hit hard, " how ungentlemanly !" Few persons will accept the Church Observer as an emanation from another Chesterfield. You speak of your reluctance to give publicity to my letter. Think you there was no reluctance on my part to enter into correspondence with you. In conclusion let me remark that you have played the part of the Sepia exceeding well. But do you not think yoM have ejected rather more mud than was necessary to cover your own retreat ? You must feel very much exhaust- ed after your effort.
