Linus, who was the first Bishop of Rome after the holy Apostles, or of the Bishops in our own day who occupy the; episcopal sees of Constantinople, Canterbury and Rome, who are now the chief rulers of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Tliese three parts of the One Holy Church of Christ are plainly distinguishe<i by having Bishops, Priests and ])eacons, a sacred threefold order, who have been ordained in a regular succession from the A]x>stles down to the present day. But the Divine Foundation of the English branch of the Church has l)een called in question by the Latin portion, and yet a reverent and careful study of Church history and of the writings of the Apostolic and Ancient Fathers of the Church, will prove beyond the shadow of a doubt to every unprejudiced and sincere student, the Apostolic origin of the English Church equally with that of the Latin and the Greek. As a priest of the English Church it is my humble desire to point out the Apostolic origin and Catholic heritage of the Holy Church of England, and to mark how careful our forefathers were to pre- serve Apostolic order and primitive worship. An altogether erroneous opinion has got abroad that the English Church is but the outcome of the semi-political, semi-religious Reformation of as w I I tho sixt..H.nth .vntnrv.

The Christian Church was founded on the Day of Pentecost- ^hitsunday-in the city of Jerusalem. At thl first synod 8. James, the Less, the first bishop of Jerusalem was appointed to preside. Remember this. It was not S. Pet,^^ Xo had the place ot honour 111 the first Church council, it was S James the Less. Indeed, we do not find that S. Peter ever ap-' peared to have had, or to liave asserted any superiority or authority over his brother Apostles. From ^Jeru^salem ^he thence reached the European Continent through the n.inistry of he Apostles, but chiefly of S. Paul. We are told but little in the Holy Scriptures as to the particulars of the Apostles' work m extending the Church of GOD, but we learn t'.om many sources that the Apostles visited almost every known country m the world, and ancient Fathers tell us that S. Paul visited Spain and Bntain. Be that as it may, we know that there wis commercial intercourse between ancient Rome and ancient Britain and by this means, if by no other.

Augustine's mission n o97. how comes it to pass that as early as 31.4 three bishops of the Church in Britain-the bisliops of York, Lincoln and London— were present at a council held in Aries, in Gaul ?

It is necessary for us always to remember that the holy Orders of the Anglo- Catholic Church come m the first place through the Church of Gaul, and only secondarily through the Chui-ch of Rome. Even S. Augustine, although a priest of the Roman Church, was Son' nl P^^' archbishopric of Canterbury by a Gallican bishop, and Pope S Gregory, that holy and worthy bishop, who sent S. Augustine upon his mission, denied the papal supremacy, and when Augustine wrote to his Holiness to ascer- tain whet^ier he wished him to use the liturgy of S.

And because the English Church is a part of the Church of GOD founded by the Son of GOD, the Lord Jesus Christ, and because the Englisli Church has kept in- violate the Catholic, Apostolic Faith once delivered to the Saints; and because the English Church has retained the manner of worship practiced by the Apostles and early Christians; and because the English Church has still the usages and forms of the primitive Church"; and because our Lord has placed pardon and grace, and the promise of eternal life within His Holy Church, for these and many other reasons we are found to-day members of the One, Holy Catholic Church of Chi-ist on earth. When once we have seriously grasped this truth Ave cannot join our- selves to any religious society however good and earnest its members may be in themselves, unless that societv can prove by unquestionable credentials, and by a living history, that it is divine in its foundation. Apostolic in its teaching, and tracin«r it.s beginning from oui- Lord and His Apostles. Since Jesus Christ has founded the Church which He expressly calls "My Church." and has built His Church upon the' Holy Apostles and Prophets, He Himself being the chief corner- stone, to that Church in one of Her three great parts we should, of course, belong, if wo desire to follow^ Him Whom our souls adore in the full obedience of submission to His Divine will and commandments. It is not, ray brethren, that the Catholic churchman questions for one moment the sincerity of many of those who do not belong to the Divine Apostolic Church. GOD forbid. Charity never faileth. It beareth all things; beheveth all things ; hopeth all things ; endureth all things. We know from experience and observation that Almighty GOD in the plenitude of His mercy, communicates spiritual blessings to those who earnestly seek them outside of Holy Church, but we must ever remember that if men who have left the Church's Holy Fold, or, perhaps, have been trained amongst the religious societies around us, receive spiritual grace and blessing without the Church's holy nurture, it is all to be ascribed to GOD'S in- finitive mercy and love. It is GOD'S condescension to human weakness or ignorance of the truth, and it is no reason or argu- ment for our disobedience or disloyalty to our Holy Mother 9 Kingdom of Heaven and y^^^^^^^^^^^ sTne'wt Thrn'^r S' ''^ ments and services of thJoC i ."^,?7r *^^ ^^^^^ ^^»cra- distressing degree fo^^^^^^ ^^.^^ ^"^^^'^^-^ ^ «^ost ordinary and divLelv-Cointo.f 2 ^ ?"T"« ^^^'^^ ^^'«»' ^'^^ Because^othersmaTiU^vesntln^^^^^^^ ^T^^"^ ^^'"''''S- appointed and ordfnar?ZnnJ]nTi •''''• ^' °"^'''^' "^ ^JOD'S Church, let us rXr thank Tod 1 ^T''"'''^ ^"^^'' *^^'°"^h His we may weep S tenr. h ' ^'^ ^^'^'^ "^^^^^^^^ although some of our Lrest frie^^^^^ IT" T7>r'^T,''^'' ^^^'^^^ ^^'^ "hold the faith rZ7o7spw1n"'tth' 7^/' "■""'• """' " righteousness of life "^ '^ ' ""* """"^ "' V<>^<'- »"'' »' studying the historv nf fv!fnr^u ^^ Church;" and by ever^ dSdple of K tuw"?;!:; ^HhTcath TTf ^^7 and al Enfflish-sDeakino- rK^;.*" ^ .i ., Cathohc Church, the Church W?shaufnw.n * "' *" t^" ?"Slfeh portion of baptised we were «=rLceird ,•n^'''"''"^'^'''f' *'''^'' *<> ^^^ "coVgatiorof Xstrfllck" ttr^'r'''™''''' P"""" of «'« ly .nlde members of ?he Chmxh of F T^'/'? ^^ "°' ^""P" " Like a mighty army Moves the Church of GOD ; Brothers we are treading Where the Saints have tro<i ; We are not divided, All one body we, One in hope and doctrine, One in charity." 10 • ly the objector and the se^tr t „T TK ''"'"'"' '"''^ligent- no more children tosTed to an^l' Z " """' y°"' hencefortl, be the mercy of eve^^Tan^: of do^trLrbv'Se'' rtf'^'J''^' "* ^r^i^^^^t^^ Yon are Church cf numbile s Sainto .d V.V • "'■°'V°* ""^ "S^^' The labours.
