A CHARGE.

Rev'd and deau Brethiikn,

You will reinemhor that two yoars ago a larj,'*' nuinlMT
of you presented mo with a Mcin >nil, askiii;,' in.> t ) h .Id a Visi-
tation or Vi-itations of the Cler;^y of the Diocese. Hitherto . was
unable toa-ce.le ^.o your wi.shes, hut I am ;,rla.l that the titn<> has
com." wh"n I can meet you for counsel and hroth.'rly intercourse
in things Si)iritual. The <lelay in re(|uestinL,' your attendance at
a Visitation, was not causeil l.y any reluctance on niv ])art to
revive such mectinj,'s, nor from any distrust of th-ir utility ; on
the contrary, time has made it clear to me. that the Diocesan Synod
needed to be supplemented by Visitaticms. The Synod is a Ie:,'al
Incorporation whose powers are dcHnitoly limited, arid touch
almost wholly tlie temporalities of th" ( 'Imrcli. The atmosphere
of such a body is secular; business of Finance, Estat<\ Discipline
and Church extension occupy the time, and our Lay Hr-'tliren,
whose presence is so necessary, are naturally anxious that the
procoQdin<,rs shall be as brief as is consistent with safety. The
result is, that our Sessions are so hurried, that it is impf)ssil)le to
keep a majority of members in attendance for more than two
days. We have no time to meet for Prayer, and the discussion of
such subjects as will be ju-escnted to us at Miis Visitation, and
therefore T determined to make trial how far our meeting,' toi^'ether
for Omimuniim and Prayer, and the interchangi-of opinions toui-h-
ing the Si)iritualities of the Diocese, nmy with (Jod's blessing
conduce to the edification of the Church ; and I feel much
strengthened in my determination, by the belief that you share
my views. I would add tliat I should not have summoned you
together were it not for the request which was wholly spontaneous
on your part, because I should have b.MMi very reluctant to impose
on the Clergy the additional expanse of travelling a sec.md time
iti the same year. It will assuredly be useful to take a review of
the Church work of the ten years tiiat have passed since the

Diocese wa,s organized. It ought to fill us viith gratitude and
courage. (3ur laU>ur.s for Cliri.-t arul His Cl.urch l.ave uK-t often-
times with opposition, yet we liave to record steady progi-css. I
have had my own share of anxiety an<I niisiepre^entation, but I
hope that I am the better fcr it all. Our thanks are then due in
an especial manner to Almighty God our Heavenly Father for the
success He ha.s vouchsafed u.s,and our gratitude, if it deserves the
name, should nerve us for the toils still before us. The Diocese
of Ontario was at its formation far the feeble.st of the three into
^vhuh the old Diocese of Toronto was divided. Even now it
cannot compare with the others in population or wealth and lam
not therefore surprised that many things which have since been
accomplished, were at first entertained coldly, by reason of our
supposed inability to efiect them. But we have had a happy
ilustration of the strength of UniUj. I trace, under Go.1 ly
advancement of Church principles, or exten.sion of Church work
which we behold, to that union of sentiment in all mattei-s of
moment, which has characterized the Qergv of this Diocese

The retrospect of the past ten years enables me to lay before

you a few facts which are so encouraging as to stimulate us anew

to love and to good works." In the cause ol domestic mis^sions (a

cause which has always been first in my thoughts an.l prayers)

»S,O0U. The Sustentation Fund which I began eight years ago as
a means of providing against any curtailment of Missionary work
when the small grant made by the S. P. G. sliould cease ha.s
reached the satisfactory sum of $2(5,048.15 of Invested Capital
besides unpaid subscriptions. Our Widows' and Orphans' Fund'
and the Fund for assisting students in Divinity, though not yot
as large as we desire, have hitherto sufiice.l to meet the demands
upon them, so that no financial difficulty has arisen The
Commutation Fund, which has been a source of great anxiety to
me, has at length been placed on a sure and solid basis, and no one
rejoices more than myself that our younger Brethren liave now
a reasonable prospect of reaping advantage from that Fund which
amouiits to 3275,000 of Invested Capital

'■*

The Rectory lands question is in process of successful solution,
and the improved incomes of the Rectore, which the sales as yet
made have fflected, is a source of great gratification. The Invested
Capital of lands already sold is 376,-i7(i.l7.

The number of the Clergy has increased from fifty-four in 1SG2
to eighty in IM"2. In the same [criod tifty-tuo *iif\v Chun-lies,
of which twenty-one have been consecratoil. and twenty-three
new Pai-sonago houses have been laiilt, and ten Cemetries conse-
crated. I have ordained thirty-five Priests and thirty-two Dea-
cons, and admitted from other Diofcses forty-three Clergy. I ha\ e
confirmed 9,287 persons, of whom 7,4()3 became Communicants on
the occasion of their Confirmation, and I must allude to a remar-
kable feature in the.se Confirmations, that 2,000 of those eoii'lrujed
were adults, and about 1,500 were converts from various religious
denominations.

And I must take tliis opportunity of bearing my testimony to
the marked improvement whiih has with few exceptions tivken
place in the mode of conducting Divine service, in the increa.sed
reverence of our congregation.s, in the heartiness (>f the singing,
and in the general attention paid to the aiTangeinents f .r pul)lic
worship; the increa.sed zeal and accuracy with \,liich canditlates
have been prepared for Confirmation, and the now almost unifonn
custom to partake of the Holy Communic^n at the time of their
Confirmation, prove that you, my Brethren, have not been unfaithful
in your arduous duties.

But I turn from the affairs of our own Diocese to those of the
Church at large. We shall have oj.portunities for considering the
U^st means of promoting the spiritual welfare of tho.se committed
to our charge, during the remainder of the week. Let me occupy
your attention this evening while I take asurvoy of some of those
movements in the Church which have attracted universal atten-
tion, and concei-ning which I have often been asked for an opinion
by the Clergy of the Diocese.

'n ignored

in the acninonious discussion of several promint-nt points of I{itual.
Crariting that such practises aa Incense at Holy Conimunin,,, and
lights during the Celebration, and vestments for the Celebmnt, are
symbolically instructive, which maybe doubted, or legal, which thry
are declared not to be, yet surely, it should reconcile us to their los^
to remen.ber that th.> Primitive Church <lid not employ them as
accessories of the Eucharist. Nay further, not one of the most
a, dent advocates of them regards them a. absolutely essential, since
Ns hat is termed Low Celebration is eijually valid for all purposes
of grace as High (.elebration. All that I can learn to be urged in
tavor of these accompaniments of the Eucharist, amounts to this,
that they elevate men's minds, and are impressive by reason of their
symbolism. IJut while I a.lmit that we c ot have too much
reverence and Ciodly fear in the Celebration of Holy Communii.n,
1 think it po.ssible to have a gieat deal too much symboli.sm. And
the evil becomes greater when we find that the ,synd.olism to
which so much importance is attached is altogether'false. They
who hold thevery-strongestopinionsregardingthesaciilieial nature
of the Eucharist, cannot .satisfactorily explain the use of Incen.sc.
There is not a particle of evidence that it was ever used in the
Primitive Church, and the only thing synduilized by it, is the
ascent of Prayer to the Throne of Crace. The restrit.ldn of its u.se
to the Eucharist is therefore a clear mi.su.se of symbolism ; and
the same may be said of the use of Lights on the Altar, which
may have a significance if lighted during the reading of the
Gospel to symbolize that Christ is tho liglit of the World; but
which have really no iorce (.r effect whatever as jiei-tjiining to a
sacrificial rite. Again, it may be an ojjcn question whether it bo
desirable that the Celebrant should wear a special vestment, and
since the Cope has been declared by the Judicial Committee to bo
the legal vestment for the Bishops when Celebrating on certain
High Festivals, it nuiy be thought becoming that the Chansabln
should be assigned to Priests, still, in em much as we know from
tho l)eHt Archwologistw that there ia no trace decernible of
sucli a vestmeht in use in the Primitive Church, we should \w
oontent<'d with the Surplice which is tho nearest approa<-h to tho
vefcliiuent worn by the otHciating Priest in Primitivo times.

I am aware that an appeal to the discipline of the Primitive
Church is (listasteful in some quarters. We hear of the objection
that Christ has promised U> be with His Church inevervacre and
that therefore the PrimitiveChurchha.s no claim to special authority
and that " the Church hath power t.. decree rites and ceremonies "
and " that they may be change.! according to the diversities of
times, cmntries, and men's manners." This may be all tn.e, and
yet the conviction may remain, that the appeal to Primitive
antiquity is the best safe-guanl against the errors of the nine-
teenth century; as it most assurclly proved itself against the
errors of the sixteenth c.ntury. As a Church we should have
been more ble.^sed, if the time and energies expended upon such
points of Ritual a« we have been considering, had been directed
U> a restoration of the Godly discipline which our Commination
Service tells us existed in the Primitive Church, wh.n " they who
were convictcHl of notorious sin were put to open penance that
their souls miglit be saved in the day of the Lord "
^ I" consequence of the late .Iccision of the Judicial Committee
m the ca.so of llibbert v. Purcha.s," I have been requested by
some of the Clergy to give instructions regarding the position of
the rnest while consecrating the elements.

My own practice for over twenty years was to read the Pmyer
of Con,secration at the north end of the Holy Table But when
the learne.l Judge of the Court of Arches. Sir Robert Phillimore
giving judgment in the case of - Hibbert v. Purchas," declared
that this question had been settled by the Privy Council in the
ca^e of" Martin and Machonochie." since their Lordships had
ruled that the words • stan.ling before the Table '■ apply to the
whole sentence, I considered myself bound to conform to the Law
a.s interprets by the highest Ecclesiastical Court, and I consec-
rated standing before the Table. The cn.se wa.s however carried
on appeal to the Privy Council, who declared that Sir Rol^ert
Phillimore had mis-interpreted their language. They sai.l that
the question of the pmition of the Celebrant had not been before
the Court at all. That the point they had before thom wa, «o.y^...
or attitude, that is. whether tiio Consecration Prayer should be
read whUe the Priest w« standiog. or whether kuoeliug wm

allowable during any part of the Prayer. Or in othor words, that
they meant that the word ,s^a/*,/u,.y applied to the whole sentence,
but that the words ' before the Tahh;" did not.

It is a pity that their Lordships did not say plainly what thny
meant, for indeed it is no reproach to Sir R. Philliniores sagacity
that he di<l not interpret aright their Lordships* language.'' Tho
Law is, however, now explicit enuwgh, and the legal po.sition of
the ('el..l,rant is standing at the north en.l. To this Law I have
my.self confonned. My reasons are these : I cannot l.y any
possib.hty make the subject a matter of conscience. My lK.dief
concerning the Eucharist is entirely unalFected by the position of
the Celebrant. My views touching the nature and eHect of Holy
C'o.i)n.union were rp.ite as decided during the many years in which
I con..ecrated at the North end, as durit.g the few years that I
cou,secrated 'Standing before the tabic." Moreover, were tho
position of the Celebrant left to my private judgment, wl.ieh
Uod forbid, I should stand b,hu>,l and not be/ore the Holy I able
with my f.ce to the people. That was, I believe, the p.. siii.n in'
the Primitive Church, and it enabled the p.ople to sec more fully
one of th. most beautifully .symbolical nets in the whole service
the fracture of the Bread, an act of so much significance, that in'
the Primitive Church the Holy Saeramcnt took its name from it.
and was calletl " The breaking of Biead."

Again, in matters of Ilitual. there must bo some limit ond I
know of no other limit than La a, and 1 cannot forget that when
1 was promoted to the Priesthood, I promised -to nmister tho
Sacraments as this Church and Halm hath received the same "

I am well aware that tho considerations I have urged will not
appear cpmlly forcible to all minds, while there are some curious
*"Htures in the ,1 .eision of the Privy Council and in it« results,
which must not be overiookcd. In the first place, the ju Igment
was rendered in an undefended suit. The L.rd (.'hancellor said
that •• the Committee had not the assistance of the argument ot
Couasel on behalf of the Defendant," and the fact that he atUched
much weight U* this consideration, appars from his remarks .n
tho recont Bennett ciwo. llis Lordship, said that ' Tho Court lias

not })a.l that assistanro from tlio im^numnit of Counsel in his behalf,
wlii.'h is ospocially .lesiral.lc in rases like the present, where the'
O.nunittee are calie-l upon to advise Her Majesty on matters of
^rav importmce, a.s a trihunal of ultimate apj.eal." It is there-
fore just possible that the ju.l-ment in the Purchas case may be
reversed on the next hearing „f a similar one, should the Respon-
<l"nt emj-ioy Counsel, an.l dili;.rent members ot the Judicial
Committee bo selected to fonn the tribunal.

^\■llat..ver be the cause, there seems to be no disposition on the
part of the Bishops, or even a-grieve.l Parishioners, to put the
Law .n lo„v. It is ignored by n.auy ol the Clergy, and the
^..shop of London declined to gratify two of the Can.ms of St
1 auls Cathedral, who.leclare.l th, .. u.t.ntion of ignoring the jud-.-
J'.-nt, and requeste.l a prosecution. These considerations may
have served to make many hesitate before changing their position
at the- Holy lable, but I confess that they have little weight with
me. Ih.re ,s, however, <.ne point on whic;, I think we are all
agreed that the Constitution of the Trihunal ot ultimate appeal
in hccles;a.stical cases, is thoroughly unsatisfactory

The amemlment of the Act of Uniformity will, I am confident
prove a ble.vsing to the Church. What we have so long needed is
not change or revision o! the prayer book. b„t flexibility in the
usc.ot ,t, and I earnestly hope that.the Prnincial Synod may at
Its next session adopt the provisions of the amended act •-

First-In legalizing the shortened order formorningand eveninrr
prayer to be used on any day except S.n.day, Christmas Day, Ash
Wednesday, (}ood Friday and Ascension Hay, in lieu of the present
order lor Morning and Kvening Service. Tho effect of this will be

1 trust, the introduction of Daily Prayer in our Churche.. wherever
it lie possible.

.Secondly-In giving penni.ssion on any special occasion to be
approved by the Ordinary, to use a special form of Service, also
t. b:. approved by the Ordinary, so that there be not introduced
into such service anything except hymns, which doe.s not form
I)art ol thr iiible or Prayer Book.

The effect of tin., will; 1 anticii,at*3, be the adoi.tion of more

efficacious and suitable Services for Mission Stations, or forsp.'cial
Missionar\' operations.

Thinlly — In permitting a third or a-Mitional form of S-Tvi.v
forSundjy, umlei necessary restrictions. This will pi-uv.- a '^ivat
boon to our Missionaries who at present have often to repeat .vcn-
son<:, wlien serving' at tliree stations on Sumlay. It is al.so worth
remarkinff that what many of us hare liei-n so ]nu<r contt'tKlini,'
for, has been decided by th.' amend.' 1 art, nanedy that the Onh-r
for Mornint,' Prayer, the Litany and the OrdtT for Holy Com-
munion are .separate Serviees aii'l may !"■ iisi'd as ^w\\.

I take this opportunity of stilting tliat I shall be glad to author-

CoincidentIywiththiswi.se tlexibility in the manti.r of using
the Book of Common Prayer, there has ari.sen an agitation for the
revision of the Book itself In the Irish Ciiurch the proposed
revision, liappily not yet consummate.!, amounts to revoluthm.
In Englan.l, the Creed, commoidy ealle.l that of St. Athanasius,
has been .selected as the point of attack. S.'ven thousan.l persons
have petitione.l the Prinuites of the English Church that s.)me
relief .shouhl Im) given to the consciences of tho.so who. lislik.' or dis-
believe that Creed. I read the reply of the Archbi.sh..ps with amaze-
ment. It amounts to this: that th.dr Lordships promise to d.) what
they can to find a s.)lution of the ditH.-ulty, an.lthe reas.)n assigm>d
f(U- their promi.sed exerti.ms is that the damnatory clauses give;
great otience t.) many faithful members of the Chur.di. They
"anticipate that they .shall be able to devi.se .some plan which
shall meet the wislies of that large body of persons wh.) object to
the solemn use of words which they regard as unauthorized in
their mo.st obvious sense either hj the hdter or the npirit of the
Holij Scripturea." There are, therefoie, two classes of people
holding opposite opinions regarding this Creed ; the petitioners,

amountin.. to 70(,() Laymon. who hoUeve tlmt tl,o lan.,m.o of tho
^roe<l n, .t. most ol.vious sense to ho ..nauthori^od eitl.or hy the
Htcr or tho spirit of Soriptnro ; an,l o„ tho othor si.l.: th-
whole body of tho Hergy of the Church of En,lan,|, th. Archhishops
inc udo.l. who, at their Ordination solemnly aeooptod that Creed
and subscribed to the 8th article of religion, which savs that the
Creed • ou^ht thoroughly to be roceivo<l and believed./or itvun,
f^e proved hy most certain .-arrant, of lU, s.rlrture" or ns
tho Lat.n text has it, " Nam firmissimis Scripturnnnn T.-slimonii,
p.;o .an possunt." It is to reconcile these opinions which are as
wdely separated as light and darkness, that the Archbishops have
set themselves. '■ P,.,.,.nt f-.^nantia sec„„, Frnntibns adversis
ocnponere. Hut granting that relief could be given to the con-
.saences o the Petitioners in son.e n.ilder n,ethod than the exercise
or a lugh Landed parliamentary interference, and the neoessarx^
resul- -disruption, I would ask what is to be gained if the

or .(),()()() be rolled across the path of millions i Multitudes, if this

Confession of Faith be silenced, will ask the reason, whv ^ Js it

because it is untrue ? No ; but because it gives nflence. ' B,.t the

Cross of Chnst was not only nn offence but foolishness, and vet

St. Paul gloned in it. There must be not onlv oHe,>oes 'but

heres.es. that they that are approved mav be made manifest

amongst us, and I take it as nothing but certain fact, that more

than .,000 persons can be found in England to see an offence in

any g.ven dogn.a of the Catholic Church. The Petitioners may

have more than ordinary intelligence in theological matters of

^vh.ch. however, we have no proof, but if they have, then I suppose

thoy take the dan.nntory or minatory .dauses of the Creed in the

same sense and with the same limitations as thev take the

damnatory .sentences of the Holy Scripture. If Scripture ^ives

t^.o.n no offence, neither need the Creed in its conden^naUons

many heresies have been dashed t(i pieces, ftiid it seems tlieret'nre
desirable to remove it out of the way or relegate it to some dark
spot. But how long could the Nicene survive this treatment of
the Athanasian ('iee<l :' Tlu' three ('iee<ls must stan<l or fall
together, fir they may be (me ami all jiroved by most certain
warrants of Holy Writ. The Athanasian ( 'net! is the oidy one
which tells us what CJod is. It is tl;e noblest son" to the (iod
made known by Christianity tlie ( 'Iniivh jiossesses, and as it has
braved the battle and the tempest of heresy for 1000 years, we
should contend for the faitli enshrined in its words and hand it
down to our children's children. A revision of the text, .so as to
bring it into greater harmony with the original Latin, seems
necessary, atid will doubtless lie etlicted ; but it seems to me that
what is still more essential is a change in the mode of re|ieating
it. The alternate reading of the verses by Mitiister and people
is unnatural in a Creed, and has, I believe, no other authority
than that of usage. Bette)' far would be the repeating of it as
the Nicene Creed is repeated by the people after the Minister, or,
better still, the chanting of it by the (^hoir and Con<rre<ration.
Not a little of the opposition to this creed would havt; been avoided
were it sung as a Hymn rather than read as a Creed ; indeed the
intention of the Church is plain, for the Creed is pointed for the
express purpose of its being sung.

But it remains for me to take notice of the charge levelled at
this Creed — its want of charity. This we can by no means admit,
if, as was before observed, the threats and <leminciations of the
Creed be taken with the same cpialifications and limitations as
the damnatory pas.sages of Holy Scripture. The Creed <leals out
monitions and denunciations against Aiianism and A|)pollin-
arianisin, but as lias l»een well said,* we do not on that account
express any opinion on the final destiny Arius and Appollinarius.
It is against Arianism and Appollinariajusm as mirh that we direct
our words. The Law under which we are saved is laid down iu

who are most Conservative in religious matters love to be thought

were extended with fairness and uniformity to the supporters a.s
well as to the despisers of the Creed. But alas : this liberalitvex
pands Itself in tryin,:^ to prove that all the want of Charity " which
heare hall thinj,.s,bolieveth all things and hopeth all things" is
to bela.d to thechar^^e of them who believe this Creed to contain
a true revelation of the nature of God. This vaunted liberalism
will be proved on e.xamination to be exhibited only towards
those who run in its own groove and direction. The attention of
the whole Anglican Church has been lately drawn to what is knowr
as the Westminster Scandal, when the Dean of Westminster
invited a denier of the (iodhead of Christ to Holy Communion in
tlie Abbey, with the other members of the Committee of Revision
This was an instance of the liberality I speak of But a few years
ago there was another Wostminster Scandal, when the same Dean
who extended a cordial invitation to an Unitarian, refused the
request of seventy-six Bishops who wished, before sejiaratin- it

guided by his likings or dislikings. He liked the idea of a Revision
of the Scriptures, though an Unitarian wa.s the Reviser, and he
disliked the Lambeth Conference. He had no other way of
.showing this liking for the one and disliking for the other in any
overt act but by spurious liberality to the Reviser, and genuine
illiberality to the Conference. I should scarcely have felt justi-

minster.

Religionists uf our day besides wi.shing to be thought liberal,
wish to be thought pmdinl a-s well. Th.^ Athana,M;m Creed i.s'
they .say, too metaphysical and, therefore, unpn.ctical. But
although the technicalities and deHnitions of the Crcd are not
now th.. theme of the bitter controversies that raged in former
times, yet surely we may expect that in the cycle of events they
will again be subjects of discu,s.sion. And if this Crcd be .ex-
punged or nuitilated we, or our children, shall be dei)rived of the
armour that once proved so powerful. It will be too late to fall
back upon this Creed when it has lost its place in the Prayer
Book. The value of the Creed now n-ay .seem small because \t is
sai.l to be unpractical. But it was ve.y practical once and may,
and will be so again, as ohl heresies recur, and any one can sl'o
with how much greater force it can be appealed to' as an honored
document holding its present place in our Liturgy, than if it be
referre<l to as a symbol which the Anglican Clnn-ch deliberately
exjiunged or retained simply as an interesting hist..rical relic. If
the rubric ordering Daily Prayer and the OHertoiy and pul)lic
Baptism had been tampered with when these things were
disused becau.se considered unpractical, it would have been
much more difficult than it has been to revive them when they
came to be thought practical. For these reasons let not any
inaction on our part aid in robl)ing us of that glorious symbol of
the Faith which is our heritage, and not ours only, but that of the
Catholic Church,

It has come to my knowledge that some of the Clergy liave
refrained from using the new Lectionary until I had called upon
them to do so. It is true that I did not make known my wishes
on the subject, because I thought it iinneccssaiy, the Provincial
Synod having by resoluion adopted the new Table of Lesson.s.
Permit me now, however, to request that tiie new Lectionary
be used in all tho Churches of this Diocese. Wo are of course

*U bound by the action of the Provincial Sy n.nl. but nevertheless
It will be of use to .iwoll for a short time on the advantages
•X/.^ted lr(,m the change. In the first place, we an, at la^t re-

li«v-^.'lfrorntheinsen.satepracticeofrea.i:..e Chapters simpiybecause
they ar« fbapters. and as if the B.ble had been Chaptered
with any tolerable regard to the sense. Cardinal Hugo is said to
have been the fir.st publisher of the whole Scriptures in Chapters
and Robert Stephens the arbitrary inventor of our present verses
A D. U.A). This arbitrary distribution of the Sacred text was
adopted for the purpose of facilitating reference Irom concordances
winch Hugo and Stephens were then engaged in perfecting, but
witliout the smallest intention of assisting the reader to understand
the sense. It is as absurd to suppose the ehapterincr and
vers.hoat.on of the Sori,)tures to be an aid to the hearer or deader
as It would be to imagine that the division of the Country into
Concessions and Lots was made to facilitate travelling and not for
convenience of ownersliip and description. In the public reading
ofGodswovdwearenow free from this tyram.y which often
compelled us^ to read at th, end of a Chapter, a genealogy or
episode which had nothing to do with the main narrative? and
which was thrown into the Chapter because no other place could
be found for it.

There are many other advantages in the new Lectionaiy The
old was drawn up on the supposition that the Congregations
attended the Daily Service, but in as much as they do not
aystermtio instruction was lost. The new is drawn up chiefly
with a view to the edification of those who do not go to Church
«X(.e( t on Sunday. Again it is a great gain that the Gospels , ^r.
now read during a portion of the year in ihe Evening, and th.
Lpistle. m the Morning. A large proportion of those who atceua

Churchin the Evening only, especially in towns and cities are much
more hkely to be ed.hed by lessons derived from the life and teach-
ing ot c ur Lr. I. than by having their religous instruction confined
to the abstias. -.H.L^.y of the Epistles. Many books of the Old
Testament ar. o f . th.. irst time read for Sunday Lessons, such

historical more biogroplii-al, nir)re doctrinal, more .M.'.ssianic and

duction of a great luinil.er ..f j.a.ssage.s referred t,. in the N,.\v
Testament, often (juoted in sriinuns, and familiar to the rearlers
of devotional books, l.ut seldom heard in their original context in
the Old Testament, as for example '•C.mf,,it ye, ( '..mfnit yr, mv
People." which will now he heard in full and with lU proper
surroundings.

Now, for the first time, will he read on Sundays the opening
vision of the Apocalypse, Alpha and Omega, the Seven Churches
and " the song of the Land). '

Another gain is the tie' provision made for tin Sundav

Services, giving a choice of L.-ssmis and the p ,w,.r of varving
them from year to year where there is hut on-' afternoon Ser-
vice. Butl think that I liave sai<l enough to show .some of the
improvements manifest in the New Li-etion.ary, and to Justifv thy
a(h)ption of it l.y the Provineinl Synod.

In tln.s stirring age of Chuich activity, .so many points suggest
th«m.selve.sas worth noticing, that I can otdy glance at a few, while
I omit others altogether. ]5ut as I have heeii tou,'hing on tiio
New Lectionary, I would say a f w words on th- Uevision of the
Biblo wliicli is now heing attempted. All religionists an- taking
a deep interest in the undertaking, and looking' forwar-l with
anxiety to the- result. Two misconceptions have rather prejudiced
the mindH of many devout persons against the work. First,
that the English Bible is being re-translated instead of b.'ing as it
is in reality, n'vi.sed : and. Secondly, that tlie value of tho
revision will be alfected by the fact tlii't one of the
Company is an Unitarian. Regarding the first misconception it
should bo borne in mimi that a correction ..f a mis-translation
here and there is not a re-translation of the whole, and that
as the authorized version is itself u revisi«m of a previous trans-
latiou antl wa.s never thought to be a finality, so tho now
Uevision « ill !. ear !he njime r^dntion bi the authuriiird version.
