 THE MISSION CHAPEL. 
 
 A REPLY. 
 
 As a pamphlet* on behalf of the so-called Mission 
 Chapel in the pari.sh of Saint Paul, Portland, was printed at 
 the time of the session of the Diocesan Synod in 1881, though 
 not put in general circulation ; and it is possible that the 
 same, or a similar publication may be circulated at the 
 present nieetings of the Synod or the Church Society; or 
 that information on the subject may be required ; it seems 
 fitting that some comments on the statements there made 
 should be presented, and this will be briefly attempted in 
 the following pages. 
 
 At the outset of the pamphlet in question, it is claimed 
 that the Mission Chapel is to be " at once free, extra-paro- 
 ** chial, vested in Trustees, and subject, ecclesiastically, only 
 ** to the Bishop and Synod of the Diocese." 
 
 The writer of the pamphlet seems to have overlooked 
 the circumstance that in St. John proper and Portland, the 
 district to which a little later he especially refers, there 
 were two free churches already — to the north, St. Mary's, 
 built years since through the exertions of the Rector of the 
 parish of St. Mark ; and to the south, St. James, free since 
 its reconstruction in 1878 ; nor has he noticed that a large 
 section of the parish Church of St. Paul, as also of St. 
 Luke's, Portland, is entirely free; or that the other City 
 Churches are quite free at one Sunday and all week-day 
 services ; and attendants, whether regular or casual, wel- 
 comed to all these churches at all times.

 IJt'ferring to the City of St. John, on the eastern ^idc of 
 tlu' Imrbour, and the Town of Port hind, the writer of the 
 pamphlet states that " the population of tlie district named 
 is over thirty thousand," while " the existing eliurehes 
 certainly do not furnish aeeommodation for mon; tlian 
 four thousand," and finds in this a plea for tlie Chapel's 
 erection. Here again he has quite overlooked the fad 
 that of this population the Uj)nian Catholics claim some 
 12,000, while the Baptist denominations provide lor '>,")()(), 
 and Presbyterians and Methodists each for nearly as many 
 more. The Church of England po})ulation of the district 
 in question is nominally 8,000,''' and for these she has sup- 
 plied six churches, several of large size, besides school 
 buildings, which could be used on occasion. Nor has she 
 even shewn herself backward, in proper connection with 
 the several parishes, into which, for all purposes relating to 
 the Church of England, this district has long been divided, 
 to provide for all who can be gathered to her fold. 
 
 It seems but right to state these circumstances, as with- 
 out the explanation, a serious reflection is cast on th(^ 
 already existing parochial organizations, which is <juite 
 undeserved. 
 
 An imputation, still less merited, is cast ujxm the Clergy 
 of St. Paul's and the adjoining parishes, when the writer 
 of this pamphlet, in another place, alleges that "in the lo- 
 " cality in which the Mission Chapel is erected there is 
 "work to be done among the poor, and the middle classes, 
 " scarcely, as yet, attempted." A few hundred yards to the 
 east lies the parish Church of St. Paul, served by a Rector 
 and Curate, the discharge of whose duties has hitherto met 
 with the full approval and connnendation of the Bishop. 
 At a like distance to the south lies the parish Church of 
 St. John, served also bv a Rector and Curate devoted to 
 their work ; and but a little further to the west is the parish 
 Church of St. Luke, with its equally devoted Rector. Nor 
 are these Clergymen without their parochial organizations, 
 Sunday schools, bible classes, district visitors, and societies 
 for the Church and for the poor. Of which of them is it to

 can he carried (Hi in connection with tht; already existing 
 j)arochial organizations of the Church of England, where 
 does the need arise for this so called *' extra-j)arochial " 
 C^hapei ? 
 
 All this the writer, in his eagerness to find a reason for 
 its erection, seems to have quite overlooked. It is indeed 
 a grave question whether, even if, in any instance, parish 
 work be not carried on with all the energy and judgment 
 which might be desired, it is expedient that the Keetor's 
 discretion should he interfered with, further than by the 
 action of the Synod, or the liishop's fatherly counsel and 
 advice. But in the present case, no such dereliction of 
 dnty is, or can be, i)retended. The question then is, broadly, 
 \.liether it is desirable that there should grow up, within 
 the |)arishes of tiie Church of England, extra-j)arochiaI 
 organizations claiming some sort of connection with her, 
 and yet independent of the Kectov's local control. It is no 
 new {|uestion to the student of ecclesiastical history. Such 
 peculiar jurisdictions have arisen in some cases in the Mo- 
 ther Church, and it is no doubt to instances of this kind 
 that the writer of the pamphlet refers, when, speaking of 
 private or proprietary cluijiels, he says that '* such chapels 
 are common in Ecgland." It may be questioned, in- 
 deed, whether proprietary chapels are as common in the 
 Mother Country as he suj)p()ses.''' They can exist the"e 
 oidy by prescrij)tion or by consent. They are looked 
 upon as innovations, which it is not desirable to en- 
 courage.t And the law is now well ascertained that 
 the Bishop cannot license any such chapel, if newly 
 constructed, in the neiglihorhood of the parish Church, 
 without the Be<'tor's c(msent. Such a license, if issued, 
 would, under the ecclesiastical law of England, be void.^ 
 And the difficulties to which services in unconsecrated

 London under Archl)isiu»p Stratford, wiiich declared''' that 
 priests, both regular and secular, by celebratiuir Divine 
 offices in private or unconsecrated places, caused "great 
 " danger to souls by drawing j)arishioners from their parish 
 " churches, and so depriving them of those wholesome in- 
 " structions which they used there to receive." 
 
 Nor can it be alleged, with any greater approach to 
 truth, that the parish limits, adopted by the Church of Eng- 
 land in New Brunswick, exist but in name, and without use 
 or object. The writer of the pamphlet boldly asserts that 
 where several populous parishes lie contiguous within com- 
 paratively narrow limits *' these lines disappear, the parish 
 system breaks down, and, practically, Congregationalism 
 takes its place." And he refers to the residence of various 
 Rectors, and officialsof City Churches in adjoining parishes, 
 adding that " the only Rector living in the parish of St. 
 Paul is the Rector of Simonds." A very little thought 
 should have taught him that he had entirely mistaken the 
 scope and purpose of the parochial system. Non-residence, 
 under proper restrictions, has long been allowed in Eng- 
 land, without derogation to parochial rights. As well 
 might he argue that the non-residence of the Aldermen of 
 some City, within the limits of their several wards, 
 abrogated their rights and powers, and authorized the 
 erection of a peculiar jurisdiction for civil purposes 
 in its midst, or base a like claim on the removal to 
 its suburbs of some of those who, for pvjrjK)ses of business, 
 continued to frequent its streets. The questioii is not one 
 of residence, but of authority and jurisdiction.! As the 
 Ecclesiastical Province is divided into dioceses, so has the 
 Diocese been divided into parislics..|; A parish is that circuit 
 of ground which is committed to the charge of one parson, or 
 vicar (with us called Rector) or other minister having cure 
 of souls therein. n5 And as the Rector of the parish has, so

 far as the members of the Church of England are con- 
 cerned, the same ecch^siastical rigiits out of his Church as 
 in it, and is entitled to perforin the service in every con- 
 secrated building in his parish ;* so he has his responsi- 
 bilities also. "It appears to me," says Mr. Justice Bayley.t 
 " that if the vicar has the cure of souls coextensive with the 
 " whole limits of his parish, that casts a very serious and 
 "important duty upon him, and he has a right and is 
 " bound, as the conservator parochiie to take care that no 
 '* person shall deliver doctrine in that parish, except under 
 "his sanc.tiim and authority. It is said that the Bishop 
 " will never appoint an unfit person ; but if the vicar has 
 " the cure of souls in the parish he has a right to act on 
 " his own judgment, and is not bound to trust to the judg- 
 " ment of the ordinary." It has been the wisdom of the 
 Church of England to provide, not alone for the supervi- 
 sion of the Bishop in his diocese, but also for the care of 
 the Rector over each parish. There is no interference 
 with other religious bodies. His district visitors, to whom 
 the parish is parcelled out (and the district system is pro- 
 bably more a need of populous, than of thinly peopled 
 parishes) are sent among those of his own communion. 
 His duty extends to the repressing of erroneous practices 
 or teaching, only when in professed connection with the 
 Church of England. 
 
 There may be some who would substitute a kind of 
 " Congregationalism" for this long tried system of ministra- 
 tion and control ; claiming a liberty which must surely end 
 in license. But is this wise? It is not well to abolish the 
 ancient landmarks till we are sure we have found better. 
 Let us hope that the day is far distant when the Church of 
 England in New Brunswick will accept a " Congregation- 
 alism " in the place of her present parochial system. 
 
 The suggestion of such a change implies indeed that a 
 liberty or license is claimed for the Mission Chapel, of which 
 the parochial system will not admit. And t^o its cluun])ion, 
 after alleging that its promoters have been charged with 
 being actuated wholly by selfish desire for "services of a

 very decidedly ot'opijiinn that in some points the servicer of* 
 tlie Ciiiircli ihijiht he >o rendered as to niaivc them more >f'n 
 attractive. as by " the freer use of music," the "restoration of 
 the Holy Kucharist to the place of honour it should, but 
 does not occupy," and "by other means;" and in another 
 place, after stating that it had been objected to the (Jhapel 
 " that the ritual contemplated is likely to be extreme;" he 
 replies (writing of course before it was completed) that it 
 seems enough to say that this is an assumption (^uite inca- 
 pable of proof. 
 
 As the('haj)el has since been opened this can no longer be 
 asserted. Its services now speak for tlusmselves. It would 
 however occupy too much space to refer to them in detail, 
 it will be enough here to say that they are commonly re- 
 |)orted to be in advance of the Ritual of the Cathedral of 
 the Diocese ; and it will hardly be denied that uses or prac- 
 tices have been ad()j)ted in the Mission Chapel, which have 
 heretofore been unusual in the services of the Church of 
 England in New Brunswick, and which are in conflict with 
 the decisions of the Knglish Courts. 
 
 Nor can such practices be justified by diversity of ritual W^\\\ 
 elsewhere, within or without the limits of the Diocese. Iff" ^ 
 such exists, as the writer of the pamphlet asserts to be the r^ ^ 
 case, it is the part of a loyal churchman to aid, not by pre- 'S" 
 cept oidy, but l)y example, in its removal. One wrong ^^, 
 cannot justify another. The responsibility of those who ^''!'I 
 causer divisions is verv great. Past services to the Church '^^" 
 on the ])art of some of the promoters of the Mission Chapel P. ^ 
 are [)leaded by the writer of the pam})hlet on their behalf. |"^. 
 Let all such services be fully recognized. But surely no I.P^^ 
 ])ers(inal services of any layman or laymen can justify those! "*

 Liberality, again, or, as it is called, munificence, on thej^P*'^' 
 part of those connected with the iMission Chapel, may be ^ S^^ 
 brought forward as a plea on their behalf. But liberality [ ^'^^

 And yet again it may be claimed that the withdrawal 
 rom their Parish Churches of the adherents of the Mission 
 .'ha])el, has not as yet niaterially affected those Churches, 
 inanciallv or otherwise. Perhaps it has not, vet their 
 ;rowth would hardly have been impedi'd by a fuller and 
 leartier sui)i)ort. It may well indeed be doubted whether 
 t would not have been a truer munificence to expend the 
 arge donation froni which chiefly it is understood the 
 'hapel has been built, in assisting the struggling country 
 
 Ilissions, and the ill paid Missionaries who supply, so far as 
 heir strength will admit, their more ])ressing needs. 
 But lastly, it is claimed by the writer on behalf of the 
 ilission (,'hapel, that it is simply "a proprietary Chapel, which,

 Suppose, however, the consent were given. There stil 
 remain to be considered the "certain conditions" upoi 
 which the Chapel is to be offered to the Church. 
 
 The title of the property is vested, subject to two mort 
 gages, in five Trustees, as joint tenants. No declaration o 
 trust appears upon the County Records with the deed ; 
 no document to shew for what trusts or purposes th- 
 property is held. What, then, are these conditions
