 A LETTER 
 
 
 Paul's Parish, Hauf ax, Nov., 1866. 
 ^ tfie PaHshion^a oflSt. PauFa^^ 
 |£t Brothbek,— a oorreBpondence which has lately 
 i^eii place between the Bishop and myself has been so 
 much spoken of, and so much mUunderstood that it has 
 become necessary to pubUsh it, In order that you may be 
 ftble toibnn your own judgment on both the correspond- 
 ence itself and thckpoints at issue. 
 
 -My fears have been^akened concerning the state ot 
 our CJhurch in this Bidile for so^e time past, and these 
 fears reached their crisfe when I read in a public print 
 pressing to be the organ of the Church of England, cer- 
 tain letters which appeared therein. In these letters doc- 
 trine and practices are openly proclaimed and approved 
 which -strike at the very root of those distinctive pnnci- ^> 
 pies and trutiis which it has been tiie honor and glory of 
 our Church to maintain before the world for centuries; 
 and he is no true friend of tiiat Church who wlU fear to 
 point out those errors to his people, and solemnly warn 
 them of the peril which impends. <sl ^ 
 
 Itis,myltoethren, togreat principles that T desire to . 
 dfiwyour attention, and witii which idone I ask you to 
 grappl6. We have to dp with something % more grave, 
 more s^ous imd deep-rea«ii^ tiian shpaply whetiier a 
 taian may wear a certain vestment, bow or turn his body 
 at different times during Public Worship. These thmgs 
 have am importance, but tins Importance arises from tiie

 fttot thAt they have an origin that lies deep beneath the 
 turface. They are indicators of doctrine. We have no 
 fhiit unless we have a plant whose root is in the soil, 
 and I point you to these letters as unanswerable proof 
 that antl'Protestant and unsoriptural views are held and . 
 enunciated by some members of the Church of England in ^ 
 this' Diocese. 
 
 i) 
 
 * With my Roman Catholic ftllow countrymen I am en- 
 
 tering into no controversy, and I beg to assure them one 
 and all, that not only do I not wish at present to dispute 
 with them their tenets, but I ever studiously avoid utter- 
 ing one word that could^be construed into a voluntary 
 insult or be deemed an intentional jUsrespeot to their 
 views of religion, — as thousands wl^o have known my 
 public ministrations for the last nineteen years will bear 
 me testimony. Thus, the point now is, not whether the 
 Church of Rome is wrong and the Church Of England 
 
 , f right i but whether the Church of England holds the doo- 
 " 4> Ikrines and authorizes the customs of the Church of Rome. 
 
 . < In short, is the Church of England Roman Catholic? Im- 
 possible,— Is all history false? Why all that waste of 
 blood in days gone by, and the outbreak of -those terriblet 
 revolutions upon which* successive generations lookback 
 with fear and shuddering? Why did a Roman Catholic 
 Sovereign persecute Protestants, and a Protestant Sove' . 
 \reign .persecute Roman Catholics? Were they fools or 
 inad men, or were they both? Whatever modems may 
 think, those old champions on either side believed with 
 all their heart that there was a gulf, and a wide one, 
 between them,-~an(I ihat great gvi^aUU yauma between u«, 
 as aU true Protestants <md trus Moman Catholios stiU; 
 eqoally maintain. , : ,

 With thli preikoe, my brethren, allow me to bring to 
 your notice the following circular which I received a abort 
 tlmealnce: 
 
 CmCULAB. 
 
 Rei/d. /Sir,— The Executive Committee of Synod have 
 determined, after careftil deliberation, that It will not be 
 expedient, at present, to Uaue a weekly publication, and 
 they are of opinion that the Church Chronicle, now pub- 
 lished, may be so modified and adapted to the wants of 
 ordinary readers, as to secure extensive support If issued 
 at a reduced price. 
 
 They therefore propose to make arrangements for the 
 issue of the Church Chronicle^ from the beginning of 1867, 
 at half a dollar per annum, doe at the first of each year. 
 
 It is intended that the paper shall be of a much more 
 popular character than it has hitherto been, containing re- 
 ligious instruction with such information upon tl^e aflfairs 
 of the Church, at home and abroad, as her members may 
 reasonably expect to receive. — - 
 
 It the number of subscribers is sufficient to warrant 
 guch an increase, the paper will be enlarged to double the 
 present size. One parish has already engaged to take 
 100 copies^ and the Conmilttee request you to inform 
 
 them— 
 
 1. How many subscribers may be expected from yotir 
 
 parish or mission? , 
 
 2. Will you guarantee the payment of the subscriptions 
 for that number, or any portion of them? 
 
 8. If unwilling to do so, will you name some trustwor- 
 tliy person who will undertake to collect and remit the 
 ibscriptions from your parish early in the year? 
 4. Will you kindly address the Bev. E. Gilpin, Seerjp- 
 y of the Committee, in answer to the above questionsj - 
 ibre tke end of October next? 
 
 A ftw days after the reception of this circular I received ^ 
 tiie October number of the paper called the "Church 
 (bhronide/* proposed, yon will perceive, as ih& basis of ^ 
 iia^ fhture paper, to which it was desired that you should 
 become subecribers. From that paper I select the follow-

 be without a branoh of an Association for Promoting the 
 Un|ty of ChHitendom? M^re than 8000 members of the 
 Roman, Gre^ and Anglican Communions have Joined It, 
 And from eadi of them daily the pn^er goes up to Qod 
 fbr union. Those who join are not asked to^oompromise

 the case fit priests, the oflforing at least once in U^ff^

 The first t^ing of eoarse which one wooM notios is tha 
 oharah. The balldiag oonsl4i of a naVe sftd chaaoeL

 bat sh5uld thinls it has ftt>m 180 to IJQ fcneelings,— ths 
 higb-pitohed roof, smaQ Gothic windows and ohaacel, gm 
 it qnlte an ecolesiastloal anpMuwnce ; bat It still n««ds the 
 sacredjimblem of oor flath, to mark its being a christian 
 building. However, as in hliT address the Bishop strongly 
 recommended a cross >lpon the nave and ob^cel, alladiog 
 to the New Charch in St. Gorge's Parish «s an example 
 of bow mnoh thoy add to the appearat^ of a buUdlng, 
 this want will doabtless soon be sopplied. The interiof 
 looks very .well, the roof |s open and of stained wood, «W 
 windows of cathedral glass, the eastern one has a ooloared 
 border and the sacred monogram, the obancel is well 
 raised, abojve the nave, the pttlpit and prayer desk on their 
 proper sfdes. There is as yet no font, but country par 
 lilBhes, I suppose have to get these things as they can af- 
 ford them. Th^ credence is conspicuous by its absence v 
 so that oblations were brought from the vestry at the pro- 
 per time, this, except^ at solemn servides, when,4here are 
 several assistants sciems an inconvenient plan. The aitar 
 is very smaU, not nearly six ffeet long, and hat. not Its 
 three steps, bat the smaU siae of the sanctuary may ac- 
 <9imt |6i;^|heir absent. Thtte is no regular super-altsjv

 modified and adapted to the oirooinatances of the case; 
 and I am asked, how many subscribers might be expected 
 from my parish, and I now beg leave to reply : 
 
 Having careMy read the October number of the Ohunik, 
 Ohnmidfi, proposed as the basis of tiieftitiire periodical, I 
 have to say that in consequence of the general tone of the 
 paper being at variance with my principled and idews : m 
 o(^quence of the mimicry of the language used by the 
 ChSch of Rome, which, language on its part is consistent 
 because symbolic of certain dogmas held by it, but antago* 
 nistic to the doctrines held by the Church of England ; 
 and, lastly, in consequence of the open and avowed state- 
 ment of unscriptural doctrine unequivocaUy set forth, by 
 one of the correspondents, whose opinions are not dMh 
 clidmed by the editor— I shall not pijy not take the paper 
 myself, but shall use my beiftt iB^uwlpe to prevent its in-

 aome, and towaida Ita somewhat dlfTerent bat kindred 
 siatw ? I am aware of the severe oensnre passed on Borne 
 for w>gakB» latsly promulgated, but I am dso aware of the 4 ^ 
 great prindples so oarefkillj laid down, by which Borne is 
 shewn to be infinitely saperior to those branehes o Mhe 
 Chnitsh of Christ, which are stigmatized as being witiMt 
 the pale. Alas 1 that the Choroh of England shonld now 
 have within its pale those who could nuuke snch a choice. 
 I shall be told that t^ late movements which are now qidr ... 
 minating to a head are simply a( protestx against ritnalism 
 on the one hand, and the estrone laxity of the sincere 
 Brotestant on the other. It certainly is posidble that 1: 
 some may think so, bnt I trust that no one wiu imagine' 
 that we who oppose tiiose errors and norelties have so ■■:, 
 little discemmeat as not to see that the principles of 
 ritualism are adopted by those who are pining for vest- ' 
 ments, fhmiture, and such tMnga. It ia true, some things ^ 
 which are not yet ftilly authorized by legal opinions are 
 utrjeoted, but evefything for which there is the slightest 
 ptetenoe of mitfaority Is eagerly adopted. This fact is 
 quite sufficient to decide- the great quesi^on of principle.

 And rattoniUtam on the other. Theee aentinienta are «x- 
 DreMsd as dearly iumy ftrwt charge, to which I reflsr tat

 Ton say much about maintaining the purity and slm- 
 pUoky of the faith, aa held and proclaimed by the Ohuroh 
 ofSngland, Now I would ask any honest man whether 
 this Is most likely to be maintained by those clergymen 
 who hold themselves bof^d In oonsolenoe to adhere strloUy 
 to her teaching in aU pointe, both of doctrine and dlsdp^ 
 UiiQ (see my last charge, p. 8), or by those who claim the 
 liberty of .deciding for themselves how fta they ought to 
 conform. At aU events, my principle Is definite and Intel- 
 ligible, and the utmost that can be said against it, if It be 
 not soimdk Is that It Is an error In /udgmetit. Acting 
 npon this principle, when speaking of the ritualists, so 
 called, I ro5»lnded the clergy that one dress, and one onlv, 
 is ordered and authorised bv our, rules. You spe^ of the 
 practice in^ this country as decisive, but / am not disposed 
 to regard the Church here as standing by Itself. If it is 
 to be IfegaUy severed in any way, I attach the mdre im- 
 portance on that account to strict adherence to wl ^J 
 rules and customs of the mother country, lest we drift 
 away ipto a sea <rf uncertainty and faregularity. Now the 
 use of the ^own has never been so universal as to contU- 
 tnte a "custom'* ihere, I have been informed that in 
 the northern oounties it has been little used, and we know, 
 jbhat in Cathedrals and Collegiate Churcaies it has never 
 -been adopted, and now it Is banished by <«flacial orders 
 ftom a Oiurch which oooupies a prottiimak plaoe^ in Mb

 always connected with purity and holiness^ with which the 
 heavenly host are said to be doth^ But the question is 
 aot, in ftct, so mudi whether the minlater shall wear one

 ^Itonerty obeyed. It fa my duty to obey the kirs, and to 
 admonish the Clergy to do the same. Snoh obligations in 
 these days bs^ indeed too lightly regarded, but I mnst set 
 an example of attention to them, and.I would remind yon 
 - that when a man has called upon God to help him, on the 
 condition ftat he renders obedience to certain laws, tite 
 ^^oA of them, whether they are of any intrinsic im- 
 portance or not, becomes rather a serious matter for the 
 . transgressor. 
 
 I^eed not accurately consider the relative value of 
 ;ywir opinion and that of the Lords of the CouncU, of 
 wnoee •♦feeble efforts " you speak so contemptuously r but 
 1 can affirm timt I am entirely ignorant of the peculiar 
 ooniwctlon of XJredence Tableiy with the Romish system, 
 wMdi you so plainly discttn. They stiU appear to meTS^ 
 be mwefy cwivenient stands (literally sideboards), in- 
 tended to obviate the necessity for going to the ^esSi for 
 
 the bread and wine wMch, wheUier wither witiioutreion,

 ^^Jou P«ect to "bodily wore^

 some have ^ng feelings of reverencie which they canJnot 
 but manifest; others, are differently affected, let everv 
 mjui to such thin^, t^be fliUy persuaded in his own mind,* 
 >t'let no man judge his Iwother. JSomefeel sostronirly, 
 when their_thou0its are toncentrated upon their God^d 
 their own dnftilness, tiiat they can scai^ely aVoid prostrat- 
 iB« themselves before Him, after the manner of tiie wor. 
 rttippws in Heaven ; even the Seraphim vefl their liusei. 
 1 imagineiJiat you would liave but a toodr <minion of anv? 
 persons who would sit at ease, in the mort coniforti^ 
 oon^ of thefar pews, during the whole of the service. Ton 
 ttM^fore approve in practice of the "bodily i^onMn," 
 wHitai in Hieory you condemn. Of tiic incessant "bow- 
 ings, eroMings,^ genufe^ns, tUmingSj^' mentioned, I

 With respect to the Chorofa, its ministers and its Sacra- 
 '"ments, I trost that all the clergy generally agree with the 
 irlews represented in my last Charge, page888-40, these 
 being in aooofdanoe with our authoritative expositions of 
 'doctrine. If there is a visible Chnioh, there must also 
 necessarily be oflOoers and^ordinance^. 8in<$e there are 
 many distinct bodiM of Christians, holdfaig no recognized 
 CoimiMmion, one witti the other, sotely we afe bound to 
 fTaminft to fi^d oaMrfaich is,'\npon the whole, most in 
 accordance with ChrisVs institation ; and haying found it 
 w|» oug^t to Oleave tolt, we ought highly to value it, be- 
 cause we believe it to be the truest representative of the 
 Cfaun^ as originally founded by Him, and organized by 
 His inspired Apostles. We, as ministers of this Chureh, 
 are bound also to satisfy ourselves that we ard acting 
 under a Talid commission, and you no. doubt consider 
 yourself ftally authorized to speak and act as an ambassa- 
 dor Axr Christ. The ooimmission given to you at your 
 ordination is ^^ther a fwkmn reality, investing you with 
 power to speak and act in the name of the Lord, with an 
 antbority whii^ yon could not otherwise presume to ezep' 
 oiscT, or it is horrible blasphemy. /£? yon attach any 
 meaifiiig M aU to it, you probably do not diffiar much from 
 •your lirethien, whom : you lUsely '"accuse ; if otherwise, ' 
 you ought not t6.contkue to officiate under it

 preached/' eTon hi thoee extreme oMes where It nwy be 
 Mid to be " of envy and etrifc." St. Panl's teaching on 
 this robject, in Cor. iii. 10-15, is so dear that Uttla room 
 appears to me to be left for difference of opinion in the ^ 
 minds of any who take Scripture as their gnide. We must 
 believe that ail who tmly loidld npon Christ will be saved, 
 bnt that it is flwr ftom immaterial whether we hold the 
 foAo^e truth in its parity or otherwise, that if we adopt 
 anything but the pure gold there will be a loss proportioh- 
 ate to the extent of the adulteration, or the inferiority of 
 the materiids. If we are required to be more comprehen- 
 sive than the Apostles, we can only say " we have not so 
 learned Christ, ^ that God's word must be our guid«.^ 
 
 You appear especially to condemn your brethren on ac- 
 'count of the views which they, or fcoine of them, are sup- 
 posed to hold eonoeming the Sacraments. I, thenilbre, 
 ask yon deilnitely, do you, or do you not, holdj that, 
 •* Sa^aments ordained of Qhrist ,be not only tokens or 
 badges of Christian men's professioni," Ac., as defined in 
 Art. 26? If you do, have yon reason to assume that any 
 of us hold more than this? Have you studied the lan- 
 guage of the Articles, the Catechism, and the4)fflces of 
 administration of the two Sacraments? and are you sure 
 that you entirely concur in the views there' expressed ? 1 
 do not speak 6f interpretations which may be deduced by 
 twisting or pressing the language unduly on one side or 
 the other, but of a plain, stndghtforwaid construction. If 
 any one goes beyond these, you were quite right in charge

 and I tniBt that not even the Just indignation which might 
 be felt at your unprovoked attack on my highly esteemed 
 brethren and fellow laborers, has betrayed me into the UM 
 of any expression too strong for the occasion. With re- 
 gard to the mode in which I have been personally assailed, 
 my feelings towards you are much more those of pity than 
 of anger. 
 
 If YOU are satisfied with what yon have done, if yon can 
 JustiJy it to your own conscience, it is useless for me to 
 say anything more, although I may observe that a Bishopi 
 who has b^n laboring in his diocese for fifteen years, 
 however unworthily, might reasonably have supposed that 
 he could not be subjected to such treatment, from any of 
 lihose, whether clergy or laltgr, wbo h*T9 accepted and 
 recognised him as their chief pastor under Christ. » 
 
 Earnestly praying that He who has built His Chnroh 
 upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus 
 Christ Himself being the chief comer stone^ may grant us 
 all to be Joined together in unity of spirit' by their doc- 
 trine, and may pour into our hearts that most excellent 
 gift of charity, without which whosoever liveth is counted 
 dead before Him, J am, Rev*d. Sir,

 To this long letter I sent a reply on Tuesday, Nov. 18 : 
 
 Halifax, Nov. 12th, 1866. 
 . My i!x>rd,-— Passing over all personal observations in 
 your reply of November 5th to me, I shall at once pro- 
 ceed to a consideration of thope great principles involveif 
 in the points at issue, as alone Worthy the time and the 
 thought of one who is seeking 4b grapple with> evil, and 
 to guard from error the Church of Christ. ,s . 
 
 With regard to Mr. —- and his subsoriptioii to the 
 
 Endowment^ and my own withholding any advocacy of 
 that measure for the present, I maintain that if a man has 
 conscientious convictions that error has spraiig up in an 
 institution after he has subscribed a sum of money to its 
 ftmds, he is not only perfectly justified in reftisinff to pay- 
 it, but b6und to witUiold it, until he is convinced that'sada' 
 error does not exist, or, if found to exist, shall be rooted 
 out and banlsfr e d. — Is \% possible that a man> is under a

 WM, in his opinion, loand and puro in principle? Ttiat 
 oannot be ; it is contrary to common scns^, to daily ex- 
 perience, and, above all, to the teaching of Scripture. All 
 promises are made on conditions implied if not oxprcsRed. 
 It is more often deemed anneoessary to state than to give 
 ^orm in wordp to those conditions which may be attached 
 thereto. This is occurring constantly. A father promises 
 to present his son, when ha arrives at a certain age, ndth 
 a Tiduable estate, or to bequeath him a rich inheritance. 
 At the thne of his doing sa* l^ls son's character and life 
 •re just such as he approvesv^Us principles are souQd, and 
 iie gives evidence of a nseftil flrture. Never for a moment 
 ■ospeoting a fldl, Uie fkther mentions no Qonditions. He 
 sees no^eed of it. Unhappily his son embraces evil and 
 dangerous ov^ions; becomes the companion of wicked 
 men, and in mi turn the corrupter of others. Who #ould 
 censure that fkther, when he saw the sad change, for with- 
 holding the money and th'e inheritance which, under other 
 qiicumstances, he once solemnly promised, but which now 
 wopld only pander to his child's depraved tastes, and hurry 
 him with more rapid strides to ruin? His promise was 
 ooAtingent, even though not expressed in words. And 
 this great principle is dearly laid dowh in Scripture — 
 'Om promisea of our heavenly Father ure contingent— they 
 are Lnplied when not expressed. Never was a more 
 ■oleum promise made than that to Eli,* and in so many 
 words conditions were not attached— "Wherefore the 
 <* Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house 
 *^ and the house of thy fhther should widk before me for 
 " evet : but now the Lord saith. Be it fiur from nie, for 
 ' *^,them that honor me, I win honor, and they that despise 
 "•me shall be lightly esteemed.'' God had indeed pro- 
 mised, but when the sons of Eli made Hiemselves vile, 
 Hie prOUiise was w> longer binding. To the prindpU here. 
 lAvonred I deeiire to drinr attention, and not to amy other

 was a aogma not held nor taogbt by the Church of Eng- 
 land. Yon wiU, therefore, perceive how thoroughly your 
 Lordship Ii«8 beeii mUunderatood, if you have "never 
 heard of advocacy of prayers for the dead/'^ v^Mur ^^ 
 ' We now reach the " snmmary*V which you have trawa 
 at great length, bat which requb^s very few words from 
 me? as you have assumed that which is not liwt ; and in a 
 grave matter like this I. cannot but request that your 
 Lordship will be particular and carefbl in animadverting 
 . upon what I do 49ay, and not upon what / do tuX say. If 
 you look at my letter you will perceive that my sum- 
 mary" is "Churcli Furniture, Cleiical Millinery, and 
 Posture Making." These I have substantiated In tje _ 
 foregoing pages. On this summary I proceeded to make/ 
 some generaf observations, stating what I believe to be/ 
 the necessary result of small beginnings, namely : I chi^ 
 racterlie the views and opinions of the party who hold and 
 practise such senUme^t8 and customs as a " morbid sen- 
 tlmentallsm" deducing from my own observations, and i 
 tJhat of eminent men, with whom I do not profess to com- 
 paie myself, the broad conclusion that the system, of 
 which I consider these things named a part, is " wejctng 
 to introdi^e by degrees the whole sacerdotal doctrines and 
 practice," &c., and I add as another guard at the close— 
 " this and more than tWs, the dbvblopmekt of thAtyOem 
 introduced Into our once peaceful midst." My beUef is., 
 OS It has been, that whether men know It or not, the thiUgB 
 of which I have sppken aye part of a system ^at m draw- 
 ing to Its legitimate conclusion will land them onjaie 
 ground of extreme ritualism, and, finally, departure from 
 Sic Church of their fathers. Whatever opinions I may 
 have as to the length wtlch some have reached, I have 
 carefully avoided using the^word "clerj^," but If ^any 
 men do hold these vieWlvWoubt not that tMne wffl show, 
 and I slncereHy tmst that tbey wUl have themwdlnewto 
 avow their views if they ever should be charged by yow 
 Losd^iPt or «ny ^ne else, with holding them.
