Church Association of the Diocese of TorontOi OCCASIONAL PAPEB, No. VII. WATOHMAN, WHAT OF THE NiaHT? There has been no period in the history of our Church in thi» Province in which her faithful members have had more reason to echo this inquiry. We see the unmistakeablo efforts of a part of our clergy to I follow a9 far as they dare in the steps of those extreme so-called High Churchmen, who openly denounce and strive to undo the Reformation. We see a gradual introduction of forms and ceremonies not authorized by the Eubrics of our Church, but on the contrary, which are derived from, and are imitations of the Eoman Worship. ]\7e witness efforts made to return to practices which involve the (assertion of doctrines repudiated by the Martyrs and Confessors of Ithe Protestant Church of England. We perceive a stealthy circu- llation of publications which are hostile to the doctrines of our |Church j and, from time to time, some of our own Clergy put forth news as to doctrines and sacraments which are a thmly veiled ecommendation of the Eoman Catholic faith, and which the tides of our Church expressly condemn. To borrow the recent language of an eminent statesman, we find here as in England, — lough not as yet to the same lamentable extent, — " the practice by I' a certain portion of the Clergy of ceremonies which they them- I' selves confess are symbolical of doctrines which they are pledged ' by every solemn compact which can bind men to their Sovereign ' and their Country to denounce and repudiate." Moreover, we find it the Imperial Parliament has passed a measure to ** put down a {small and pernicious sect who are assuming an attitude of opposi- {tion to the Church to which they professedly belong." For such reasons the Church Association (now numbering pwards of 900 members) was formed. The effort to obtain fe concurrence of the Lord Bishop in its formation, as well J the reasons assigned for his refusal, have been published at large ; M the urgent motives impelling its members to persevere were also I 4": '■\\l.W B ■■ If-' "\ ll 'il: :■ Hr s made known by th« Address of the Assoei*tion to the membere of the Church in this Diocese. There was no long delay on his Lordship's part in disclosing his feelings as between the Association and the parties against whose sinister proceedings we had felt it onr duty to protest in the first Address. Commencing with a slightly veiled sarcasm on the " watchful care and fratemaJ monitions of a Church Association of Clergymen and Laymen," the Pastoral attacks the more important parts of the Address. It deplores the " excesses and errors" into which the Eitualists in England " have drifted, and the serious injury they have inflicted on the Church ; " but for other matters affecting our own branch of the Church, — but in his Lordship's judgment seemingly neither excesses nor errors, — there is a gentle palliative which, whatever the intention, countenances rather than disapproves of them. The connection between the excesses and errors, and the apparently slight departures which ended in " extravagancies in ritual" is not even glanced at. IsTot so a late English Bishop, one certainly never considered a Low Churchman, who, in giving judgment on the Bev. W. G. P. Smith, against whom proceedings had been instituted for placing, in various parts of the chapel, and especially on the Communion Table, ornaments and other unauthorized additions, said : " Now would it be lawful for any person whomsoever, even for those officers to whose care the ornaments of the Church are especially committed ; would it be lawful for them to deck the Lord's table, in preparation for the Holy Communion, with vases containing flowers, and with a Cross placed on the table for the occasion ? Certainly not, unless there ba an express or implied direction so to do. It is not enough that there be no express prohibition. The very nature of the case, the general requisition of uniformity, and the positive enactment that no form or order of common prayer j rites, or ceremonies, shall be openly used other than what is prescribed and appointed to be used ; aU al^e lead to the same conclusion that it is not lawful for any person whomsoever to introduce novel ornaments at his own dis- cretion. In truth, where wotlld the claims of such discretion endl" And here it may be well to recall another matter which occurred before the formation of this Association. It was ascertained that a clergyman of this diocese was a member of The Confraternitt OF THE Blessed Sacrament of the Bodt and Blood of Christ ; and the fact, together with some account of the tenets of that body, was communicated to the Lord Bishop ; who, in reply, stated that he had for some months been aware of the existence of the Confra- ternity, — that certain of their views were in his judgment unsound and untenable, — ^that he had earnestly requested its dissolution, or, at all events, the withdrawal from it of the only clergyman in iiHnaiii •iSemr nbtm of isolosing against rotest in rcasm on iBOciation mpoxtsnt fors" into le serious ir matters jordsliip's s a gentle kther than tesses and ended in it 80 a late iiurcliman, h, against none parts ornaments b be lawful tse care the ould it be ion for the |ith a Cross »8S there bo iough that le case, the stment that fei, shall be [to be used ; :ul for any J own dis- .tion endl" 5h occurred ained that fRATERNITT ►F Chbibt ; that body, itated that [he Confra- it unsound jlution, or, irgyman in ! Toronto known to be connected with it. Neither of these requests was yielded to, though on the part of members of that Association (some of whom, it may fairly be assumed, were known to his Lord- ship), there was a '* hearty clisayowal'\of any opinions that savored of the Bomish superstitions condemned in our 22nd article. This disavowal is to be interpreted with the aid of the Manual of the Oonfraternity, which contains such passages as these : " Jesus, our ** wonderful God, who vouchsafes to be present upon the altar when "the prieet proiiouncee the toords of consecration/* "Jesus the " Lamb without spot, who art continually consumed yet still remains ** perfect ;" " A sacred victim conewn&d on the altar by us and for " ftf ;" " A sacrifice should be offered on tlie altar by the priests ;" language approaching " perilously " near to the doctrine of traus- substantiation ; and which the 28th article of our Church declares to be " repugnant to the plain words of Scripture." It cannot but awaken in the minds of many members of our Church a mingled sense of surprise and alarm to learn that, if the Rev. C. T. Denroche was suspended, or his license revoked, he has been reinstated in his privileges as a clergyman in this Diocese ; and that — whether there be any relation between the two occurrences or not, — at the very same time the forbidden " Confra- ternity" is revived, and openly proclaims its most obnoxious doc- trines. His Lordship has declared his conviction " that we have " not in a single instance in this Diocese an approach to the " extravagancies in Eitual " to be found in the mother country. But he cannot be unaware that this " Confraternity of the Blessed " Sacrament " — ^this organized Church brotherhood for setting at defiance the Church's Articles, and the very foundation of her antagonism to Bomish error, — still flourishes, advertises its existence, circulates its " Intercession paper," and invites prayer for the dead. The letter of the Lord Bishop of 24th April, 1871, states his failure at that time either to procure the dissolution of the Confra- ternity, or the withdrawal of Mr. Denroche from it. It has been very recently seen that clerical co-operation and encouragement are openly accorded to other objectionable Confraternities in this Diocese. Inasmuch as his Lordship then saw fit to say, " I could not allow myself ... to grant a license to minister in this Diocese to any clergyman asserting the views embodied in the Manual of that Confraternity," may we not respectfully inquire, Has the Rev. Mr. Denroche disavowed any longer holding the views em- bodied in that Manual which, as a member of the Confra- ternity, he must have adopted, and which His Lordship regards aa opposed to the spirit and teaching of the Church of England) The members of tho Church Association cannot but witness with wonder and sorrow their appeals on behalf of the principles lO'i \]l of the Keformed Church of England, its articles, and it% liturgy, made the special objects of Episcopal denunciation, while such unsound and " untenable views" are being openly propagated. The Lord Bishop at the last Diocesan Synod renewed tho expression of his disapprobation of the Church Association, which had been less forcibly stated in the pastoral already noticed. To this we forbear to make any answer in detail. It is enough to say that a similar Association among members of the mother Church in England is violently and intemperately opposed by the party which is there pushing to the extreme the doctrine that the power of the keys was delivered to the Episcopal body, — ^which claims for the clergy the exclusive authority of giving admission into the Church of Christ, and which asparts the administration of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper to be an offering by the Priest on behalf, and on the part of, the partakers thereof. Foremost among those who, in equidly intemperate language, have denounced our own Asso- ciation, are some very advanced advocates of similar opinions^- doctrines, and practices, in this Diocese. Another matter, though at first sight it may not seem directly to -affect this Association, is no less significant in this connection. The controversy which arose in Montreal, respecting the " Rule ofLife^ and the suspension of the Eev. A. Prune by the Metro- politan, is no doubt still unfoigotten. The Eev. Mr. Wood, the curate of St. John's Chapel, Montreal, sympathising with Mr. Prime, delivered an address to his congregation in which he to a great extent defended the ''Rule of Life ;" holding with it, that "the Holy Communion besides being a Sacrament, is in a real and true sense a sacrifice also /' and set forth his creed in Latin and English. Whatever party name Mr. Wood may assume or repudiate for him- -aelf, his doctrine in this address, and the ceremonial in his chapel, alike justify his being considered an advanced Bitualist. At a service at St. John's during the recent meeting of the Provincial Synod, there was on the communion table a metal cross, or rather a crucifix, having on it a figure representing our Saviour, surrounded by bunches of flowers ; and on a ledge, apparently part of the table, were two candlesticks ; the table was covered, not with " a fair white linen cloth," but with a green embossed cloth ; and only on the face t)f it ynB there a narrow white stripe. There were repeated turn- ings to the table by the acolytes, who wore white surplices or tunica. Tteere were continuous bowings and genuflexions, frequent ap- proaches to the table by the celebrant with his back to the people, clasping together of the hands; and profound adorations, when the foliefaead apparently touched the table. An assistant was at each elbow. At one part of the service one assistant approached the celebrant with a paten, which the latter took and elevated it to a line w the tat phials, other adoiati has be< munion prayer-1 ceremoi lish cou Church House elevatioi and the a metal ( this occa beignora at St. Jo Lordship to his pre approval < by Mr. ^^ ^th the ( Rt.

Again an assistant approached with a flagon and two glass phials, from one of which the celebrant poured water, and from the other wine, into the flagon ; which with similar elevation and adorations, as with the paten, was placed on the table. Enough has been stated to show that this was not a celebration of the Com- munion according to the order of administration set forth in the prayer-book ; on the contrary, most of the forms, ornaments and ceremonies used have not only been pronounced illegal in the Eng- lish courts ; but some of them were expressly " forbidden in the Church of this Province" by the House of Bishops and the Lower House of the Frovincial Synod, in 1868. Among those are the elevation of the elements, and the mixing of water with the wine ; and the English Courts have in like manner condemned the having a metal crucifix on, or in apparent connection with the table. On this occasion the Lord Bishop of Toronto, — who could not possibly be ignorant of the notorious character of the services as performed at St. John's, — was present and partook of the Sacrament. As his Lordship was out of his own diocese, and had no call of duty to lead to his presence there, it cannot be unreasonable to treat this act as an approval of the ceremonial and administration of the Lord's Supper the Metro- V^J M'* Wood ; were it not that it seems impossible to leconcile them ood the l^th the order appointed to be used by the Chnrch, of which the T.

Another matter deserves notice as illustrating the difficulties of lose who are dissatisfied with the anti-protestant character of the ices and ceremonies in some of our Churches. The Church losiation, in the exercise of a painful duty, drew attention to the at each kstence of a Guild and Chapel in one of the city parishes of Toronto ached the ft connection with which books of a thoroughly Romish character ,ted it to a |ere being surreptitiously circulated. The Lord Bishop privately i I • t i i I' 1 j ^i!, V 1 ■ 1,1'; \i ; f t \i If' I Lordshij: renders that he nor C^pi "man set And taken ph tpparentL stated his assurance that the Incumbent disapprored of the Guild; I Chorehi and protests and counterprotests followed, bandying about conflict^ I and tea ing and irreconcileable statements of incumbent, guild and vestry. I the L( In our Occasional Paper Ko. 4, we therefore named one of the I Episcopi clergymen of that parish who had officiated in the Chapel of the I deadly e Holy Cross, at the service immediately following which *' The Path Iji made of Holiness" with its grossly superstitious and unscriptural teach- liflgs hav ings, was giving to some of the Sunday school children. The Lord ~ Bishop has been prompt to publicly denounce the action of this Association. What he may have seen fit to do privately in reference to the Rev. E. Day, and the Holy Guild of St. Lawrence, we know not ; but this his Lordship must know, that the " regular Chaptera I Credit a of the Guild" are duly advertised in the Church Chimes ; and itsl^complaj annual commemoration was openly held at Weston, on the 17th August last, under the special favour of the Eev. W. A. Johnson, the incumbent of that parish. A procession with banners, crosses, Ac., led the way — ^the Clergy wearing "stoles of the colour of the day." A high " celebration of the Holy Eticharisf' took placelieverance with the Kev. C. P. Mulvaney as celebrant, the Ee^. E. Day aslother Can deacon, and the Bev. W. A. Johnson as subdeacon, while the musici Jq yl^ of the Missa de Angslis was rendered underthe direction of " brotherltbat distru W. T. Goldsmith," the distributor of the notorious " Path of /To/t-Llhere to nestf' among the Sunday-scbool children, in the parish of the Hoi; Trinity. In a sermon preached by the Eev. C. P. Mulvaney, hi referred to the " encouragement afforded them by the Bishop o; " Toronto's late charge," while in charitable tones he alluded to " thi " persecuting policy" of this Association which, " like Saul before' " conversion, it was their error to mistake for duty !V Then cominj to the point, he said : "for any one to talk about a priest, or a ** altarf who did not believe in a Sacrifice was absurd." The parish in which those proceedings took place was' aptl; chosen. It is within easy access of Toronto. Its incumbent ' recently circulated, "for private distribution only" a card "Divine Services at the Chapel, Weston," which runs thus " Daily 6.16 a. m. Eablt Mass ; 9 a. m. Matins ; 7 p. Evensong; Sundays 8 a. m. Eablt Mass." ... on certain da; "Evensong andiLecture 7 p. m. {Lit. of Rep. C. B. a.)" In 187| the Lord Bishop stated that he could not grant a license " to "clergyman asserting the views embodied in the Manual" of thI C. B. S. tn 1874 the incumbent of Weston seems in no fear aboi{ his license^ His card intimates that in addition to " Funer ** Services," he has also " Mortuary Services, &c., when desire Is it in these that the mysterious " Lit. of Rep." of the Confij temity of the Blessed Sacrament is introduced) Or what may tho strange novelties mean? It may well fill the minds of hon(| < openly eart the eir Chu lootrines a he " tradi The ther Dioci ces ca! •ttenl sh ey have urch. ishopa as le Clergy mated bj 'lio labor owledg( w us ba( ed to gi more be ijah excla eve that thousand e to thoi Ghmehmen with sorrowful iorbodingt thftt sueh precMdiags and teachings go on in this diocese without protest, while I the Lord Bishop specially selects the Association ifor his I Episcopal denunciations ; and its attempt to get at the root of this deadly evil, which is sapping the very vitals of onr Mother Church, if made the subject of protest by clergy, among whom such proceed- ings have gone on for years ; and is promptly responded to by his Lordship holding liis fbst Clerical Visitation. Such action renders it the less surprising that his Lordship should declare that he cannot find "a single instance" of extravagant ritual; nor (spite of the often renewed protests of such parishes as Credit and Weston), in any congregation in this mocese, " a "complaint that unsound doctrine was preached by the clergy< I" man set over them." And while this is our own condition, a disruption has already [taken place in the American Episcopal Church, occasioned by lipparently analogous causes, and not only leading to complet lieverance there, but extending the same influence to our own and lother Canadian Dioceses. In view of all those circumstances, it ought not to create surprise [that distrust has arisen, and is increasing among churchmen who "lere to the Eeformation, — ^believe it is assailed as well secretly openly by the Bitualistic party, — and have seriously taken to heart the question what steps they ought to adopt in defence of lieir Church, its freedom from medieval superstition, and from doctrines and ceremonies which have no more solid foundation than Vie " traditions of men." The Church Association would gladly see their brethren in ^ther Dioceses uniting together in |the same cause, wherever circum- ices call for such action ; while they deeply deplore that itters'l should have been allowed to go on unchecked until ley have already caused a large secession from our Canadian lurch. Entertaining feelings of reverence for the Order of ^hops as essential to our ideas of Church Qovemment ; respecting lie Clergy as the body appointed to be our Spiritual Guides ; and limated by the warmest regard for those " faithful ambassadors" Irho labor among us in the cause of their Divine Master : we lowledge neither respect nor deference for those who seek to iw us back into the errors out of which God was mercifully sed to guide our forefathers at the Eeformation. Happily it can more be truly said of us now than of the Church of Old, -when lijah exclaimed, " I only remain a prophet of the Lord." We lieve that among the widely diffused clergy of the Church there thousands who have not bowed the knee to Baal, — who are not to their ordination vows, and will not tamper with the I 1 ':-i''l 1 i f .'i II 'i' 1 r idolatry of the iums. W« Wiey* that a largt minority of the laity, both here and in England, are sound at heart, and we con- fidently expect that if their earnest and respectful applications, though hitherto rejected, are persisted in the more strenuously as the resistance to them is the more obstinate, it will be found that they cannot much longer be treated with indifference. But we cannot too strongly urge on the earnest and devoted adherents ol the Beformation that it is not by secession from the Church, not even by a secession so general as to leave the clergy without followers to go over with them into the Greek or Bomish Churches, as somo of their advanced leaders openly desire, that our object can be attained. We owe it to our children to hand on to them, unimpaired, that sacred legacy of a pure, reformed, scriptural Church, with its simple Protestant services, which we have received, sealed by the blood of the martyrs and confessors of the Beformation, and of the reactionary era of renewed persecution under Queen Mary. We desire to refer as far as possible, with respectful deference, to the Clergy, and still more to the Bishops of our Churches. Would that we could extend to all of them a loving reverence as faithful pastors. But we owe a higher duty to the Church itself, and to its Divine Head, the great Shepherd and Bishop of Souls ; nor — ^how- ever distasteful or painful the duty may be, — ^will we shrink from the exposure of Bitualistic and Bomanizing practices and teachings which are so insiduously, and with such suspicious secrecy and mystery, being introduced among us. " Watch, therefore ; for ye " know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this that " if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief " would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up." St. Matt. xxiv. 42, 43.
