LORD BI3H0P OP MONIRIAI, # TOR(ONTO: W. C. CHE^ETT 4 CO.. 11 4 19 KING ST ;EET EAST. 1862. ' !& ■■*v I- \\. v. CHKWKTT *»ich wore the vchI position of the (nisc, it would have been r|uitc unucccsHiiry for nic to have intruded u]kmi your Lordship. But although your letter is addressed to your Hiphops and Clergy, your Lordship has transmitted copies of it to many private gentlemen in Upper and Lower (Canada, and no doubt your Lordship has circu- lated it in England. For live cents also 1 sec it can be purchased at the Booksellers* shops. It has thus become a public matter, and you owe to (Tcncral Evans and his family as public a rotractioo of your personal attack upon him, as your dissemination of it. I would believe that in the cagorne.< " it would be but becoming a dignitary of the Church and a gentleman. Should your Lordship, however, refuse so proper a request, then I would wish the public to whom you have traduced the character of General Evans to understand the facts, and by their verdict say, whether your Jiordship was, or whs not, justified in the reckless charge you have made. The transaction you refer to took place upwards of ten years since, and in the interval during which your Ijordship has thought fit to be silent, one has been removed, who was privy to the whole of it, and whoso evidence would have effec- tually satisfied the' public how soundless are your accusations; General Evans proposed to you, to give a piece of land for half price, and under your sanction and directions to expend £3,000 in building a Church thereon, upon condition that Dr; Hellmuth should be the first incumbent, that the presentation should continue in General Evans' family, and that if there was any surplus of income over and above the current expenditure of the Church, nnoh surplus should be applied to liquidate the advance af jC3,000 ; but that no interest should be charged upon it. Under this propo- • fiition the repayltaent df the X3,000 was as remote as the Greek Calends, and in the judgment of most people this would bo consi- dered as equivalent to a gift uf jC3,0U0. However, your Lordship throughout undcratoodjor professed to'undcrstand the whole propo- sition, and never during scvcrnl interviews which* took ''place upon the subject did you load| General^' Evans* or]] l)r. Ilcllmuth to believe that you wore under any misapprehension ; uii the contrary, you gave two reasons for not coinciding with General Evans' views, namely, that you objected to lay patronago,^and secondly, there was already sufficient Church acuotnniodation. If your real reason was, the one you now assume, that" the building|of tho^JjChurch would have had the collateral j^^advantago of benefiting General Evans' property, why not have candidly stated it ? Such would, in my humble judgment, have been more becoming a Clergyman and a gentleman, than your present revival of a stale matter, over which, judging from the expressions||^in your letter, you must have been brooding lor so many^ycars.)^IJut after all, your Lordship has not stated any facts from which thu public could draw the inference that " the attempt was inado'to take you in." The real facts of the transaction arc opposed to their drawing such a conolusion,|and the/ have only your Lordship's " suspicions.",']", ^'^ "^^ro suspicion no gentleman is]|at liberty tO|blaokon*thc character of another, and I have yet to learn that^in Canada at^lcast, your 'Lordship or any other ecclesiastical dignitary enjoys any immunity in this respect. If " suspicions" are^to he indulged irt, we may as well take the one generally received by the public, that you objected to countenance any " Evangelical " Clergyman, as the suspicion you now, for the first time after the lapse of ten years, say really animated you. General Evans is now in his eighty-seventh year, and has seen seventy years of service in the army. In his declining years your Lordship should have been the last, instead of the first person, ever to have attempted^to tarnish his chan^tcr]or reputation. That was established in Canada and^ throughout the* Empire before perhaps your Lordship was born. As the son-in-law of General Evans, in the absence of all his sons, I would be wanting in my duty, if I did not resent the charge made by your Lordship. 1 have the honour to be, Your obedient (servant, ADAM CROOKS. To the Right Reverend The Lord Bishop of Montreal. 6 LETTER II-. MoNTREAr., May 21, 1862. Sir, — I hove to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 17th iDsiant. Tt is very natural and reasonable, connected a.s you are with General Evans, that you should be deeply interested in whatever affects him in any way ; and I have no hesitation in say- ing, that I exceedingly regret if any thing said by me in my letter has given pain to you, or any of those connected with him. I certainly had no intention or wish to apply the words you quote, to him, they were meant to express my opinion of Archdeacon Hellmuth's conduct in the matter ; with whom nearly the whole of >ho negotiation was carried on. I had only one short interview with the General, when he certainly declined giving mo any written state- ment of his proposal ; and I should not have introduced his name, except as being necessary to explain the nature of the application to mc At the same time, I beg most distinctly to deny the correctness of your version of the matter, and shall bo ready nt all times to maintain the f;iets as stated by mc, as well as the course T have taken. As to your remarks on the ^^ odium thcologicum" and ^'poUmkal' discussions," I can most truly say, it has always been my work and endeavour to live peaceably with all mcu ; and I think you may with more propriety tender your advice to the Archdeacon, who, by his own violent attacks on the Canadian Church and Canadian Insti. tutions, rendered my interference necessary. And considering the very public manner in which that attack was made, I can hardly think it fair that you should complain, if my rejoinder has been made public also. ^You are at full liberty to make any use of this correspondence you think right. I remain. Sir, Your obedient servant, (Signed) F. Montreal. A. Crooks, Esq. P. S. — You state that " One person has been removed who was privy to the whole of it, and whose evidence would have effectually satisfied the public how groundless arc your accusations." I can only say that the person you allude to was not present at any interview which I had either with General Evans or Archdeacon Hellmuth. I iff 1h LETTER III. ToiiONTo, JMny 27, iHUli. Mv fiOUi), — [ nm favored with }()ur letter of tho 21st ioHtant, and liuvc to thnnk your liordHltip for tho expressions of regret tonvoyeJ by it, in reply to my letter of tho 14th instant. I can SCO tho necessity of introducin«; General £vans' name in connection with tho lecital r»f the transaction referred to, but your Lordship mip^ht perhaps havu been more happy in tho mode of doing so, and thus have avoided rendering the General liable with Arch- deacou llcUmuth to the common imputation *' of attempting to tako you in." Any one, on reading your Lordship's letter, would say, that you intended to implicate both of them equally in this charge. I am at a loss however to understand, that thoro was the least necessity for introducing this episode of the Ohurch in Hherbrooke .Street, in connection with what seems to have provoked your Lord- ship's pastoral letter. I'rom your remarks in that letter, as well as in tho one under acknowledgment, I gather that it was " the Arch, deacon's violent attacks upon tho Canadian Church and C«>nadian Institutions" (alluding to his recent speech at Islington) " that rendered your interference necessary." In other words, that Arch- decon Hellmuth's statements of the peculiar theological teaching of Trinity College, and tho paucity of and the want of encouragement to "Evangelical" (Mergymeu in Canada, were whet required a proper admonition at the hands of your Lordship. When the Archdeacon's reply is given to the public, we will see whether that admonition was called for, or not, and whether those statements of his were, or were not, unfounded. With this, however, I have nothing to do, and only advert to it for the purpose of showing that with this object in view, your Lordship might have administered the desired castigation to your subordinate without weakening the force of it by reference to an old transaction of more than ten years standing, and of a private nature, and which perhaps many people may think should have been allowed to have passed into oblivion. Nor can I see the logical connection between the issue raised about Church Institutions and Evangelical Clergymen in Canada and this private matter. The Archdeacon's statements about the former may be all perfectly true and incontro- vertible, and many no doubt (I confess myself of the number) are fully conTinced of this. Your Lordship" may or may not be quite cor"Qct in your inferences about the latter, but how the one trans- uctioii happening in Munircul in the yoRi- 1852, c'»n ufle»i (lie utate* iiivnl of Hoiue plain iuctH ot Iilington in the yonr 1H02, in what 1 . « annut coDiprehend, nnd it wns merely by way of u Hulution of thi« logical incunsiiBtoncy, nnd not ns tendering udvicu to uny on<^, that [ ventured upon the cxpreHsioiw " odium theologiouni" nud "polo* uiicol dinoussions." Voxir riordnhip and, I think, t)ie public must huo that yuur stat**- mont nf the propoHitictn of GenernI Kvima does not differ froiu iniDe,"and it is only in ascribing motivoH (the propriety of which in i|uefltionn'bl«!) to him and Dr. Hellmuth in connection with it, that there can be tiny chnrge or any differiMico between your Lordship und mynclf. You thought or " suspected" tho motive wns to benetit (j«neral Kvans' property and to secure his son-in-law on Incumbency. Kveu if this was what really actuated them in making what appears to uie to have been a very liberal proposition, ctm it be considered u v«'ry wrong^or improper motive 't ' But is itjpossible that the expenditure of jC8,000 in building the Church would have enhanced the value of the residue of Cicneral Kvnns' property to an equal extent ? And was such an incumbency iin object for Dr. Hellmuth to secure^ considering his then position :it Sherbrooko and Ixsnnoxville and the acknowledged character of bis high attainments ? Under all the circumstances, I must confess your Jjordship'ti judgment seems to have been hastily formed, and if I had been one of the Montreal public to have passed nu opinion upon your Lord- ^>hip's rejection of the offer at the time, I would have been oharit- uble enough to have supposed that your Lordship was mistaken, bnt ifctuated by the best ol' motives, and not in tho least by any appre- hension of the precence of an " Kvangelical" Clergyman like Dr. Hellmuth in Montreal.
