I cannot but deplore the rashness which has prompted ■them to recommend to private Christians, the dedication of particular days to the religious commemoration of deceased men, and eVen to furnish a special service in honor of Bishop Ken,Xounded apparently on the model of an office ia the Breviary, to a Reiiiish saint. * If ;^fter having been then in .tbiiptism> washed once for all in Chri8t*s blood, we again slo, there isnpjmore such oom" plet^ ablution in this life,* Passagesllke this, liowever ib^y may be e«plained, tend to rob the Gospel of the blessed Jesuai>f much of that assoranee of the riches of * ^« Ths wiqf o f the iaeie a t aaJ prim i tive diar^h was toopoand Ahe^aenttmt».hffith»8eriptum''^Bi$kM JwemyTmiUn; ■ S^lCar.5^©iJUtsix.38,xviL^«ia.^ WPIIOOPAI.

But this doubt only applies to adme of the passages.

The Bishop of Gashbl, Waterford and I«is- XORE (Dr. Daly), in his Charge delivered in July 1842, in speaking of "Semi-Popish errors which are broached in our days'*^ says, "I have been no inattentive obser- ver of what has been going on these few last momentous years, and my observation leads me to say, Ihat th« Tractartan views have been taken up, with very few ex^ eeptions, only by those who have, in the midst, perhaps, of much external decorum, exhibited no signs of spiritual life, and have never seen clearly the great Scriptural truth of justification by faith. We have the writings of some of the most eminent originators of the movement in Oxford, and they prove themselves to be indeed ♦* blind leaders of the blind," entirjely in the dark as to God's plan for the justification of a sinner; like the Jews of old, ••they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God*« righ- teousness, and going about to establish their owi> righ- te(>ttS9es8, have not submitted themselves unto the rfgb.^ tcfonsness of God.** This is enongb to coniemn them and their system hm the eyes of those who know that men are Justified freely by God's grace, through the re- demption that is in Christ Jesus. When (hey are wrong in the foundation their superstructure cannot be right.

But if, after all, we ar.e not to be carried above the doctrine and tone of the English Reformers ; if we are but to exchange a conge- nial enthusiasm fpr a timid modertUon, a vigorous ex- treme for an unreal mean, an energetic Protestantism fop H stiff and negative Anglicanism,we see but poor compen- Mtioo for so extensive and irrepairable a breach of peace and charity. The object, important as it may be in itself is quite inadequate ta the sacrifice. — We cannot stand WH ERE WE AiiE ; we must go backwards or forwards ; and it will surely be- the latter.
