ILonton : CHURCH ASSOCIATION, 14, BUCKINGHAM STREET, STRAND, W.C. 1898. BISHOP JEWEL says : " Some say, the Bisliopsbe they that should redress the Church. Would to God they wnuld I For they should be lux ■mundi, ' the light of the world :' they should bi' 'shejilierds' and 'watchmen,' they should, be builders of God's Church. But wliat if the light become darkness'? What if the shepherds become wolves'? What if the watchmen lie asleep? What if the builders become oxerthrowers '? Jeremy saith, *The iiastors have overthrown the vineyard ; and is it likely that they will rear it up again ? ' Christ said unto the Bishops, ' You have made my house a den of thieves ;' and is it likely that they will bring it again to the former .state. and make it a place of prayer? But, O merciful God, what a building is that like to be, wher<- ignorance is the foundation, where ignorance is devotion, and the greatest corner stone of tli'- building ! I pray God lighten their hearts with His Holy Spirit, and make them to be that they pi-ofess themselves to be, the light of the world, and true labourers in (iod's vineyard, and faithful builders ot His house. "In the mean season let us remember that in the old law, wheu.soever the Bi-shop grew out of order, God raised up sometimes prophets, sometimes princes, to reform the Church, to redress things that were amiss, and to re-edify the decays. For the prince is keejier of the law of God, and that of both tables, as well of the tir.st, that pertaiueth to religion, as of the second, that pertainetli to good order : for he is the head of the people, not only of the commons and laity, but also of the ministers and clergy. By that authority Moses, being a magistrate, lebuked Aaron, the Bishop, for making the golden calf. Joas, being a King, redressed the riot of the priests. Solomon, being King, first builded the temple of God, and put down the high Bishop Abiathar, and set u]i Sadoc. Afterwards, the same temple, being polluted, was restored, not by the Bishops, but by the Kings, Ezechias, Josias, Abias, Jelioshaphat ; and at this time after the captivity of Babylon it was restored, not by the Bishops, but by Zorobabel, the Prince of Juda " {Jewel's Works, Vnl. II., pp. yO(), 907. Parker Society Edition). BISHOP LATIMER said, in a sermon preached before King Edward VI. ; '• I will be a suitor to your Grace, that ye will give your Bishops charge ere they go home, upon their allegiance, to look better to their flock, and to see your Majesty's Injunctions better kept, and send your Visitors in their tails : and if they be found negligent and faulty in their duties, out with them. 1 require it in God's behalf, make them quondams, all the pack of them " {Latimer's Sermons, p. 122. Parker Society Edition). "Lay not thy hands rashly upon any ; be not hasty in making of Curates, in receiving men to have cure of souls that are not worthy of the office, that either cannot or will not do their duty. Do it not— Why •? 'Thou shalt not be partaker of other men's sins " " (Ihkl., p. 1.52). RICHARD HOOKER suys : "OntheothersideBishops.albeitthey may avouch with conformity of truth that theii- uutliority hath thus descended even from the very Ajwstles themselves, yet the ab.solute and everlasting continuance of it they cannot say that any commandment of the Lord doth enjoin ; and therefore must acknowledge that the Church hath power by universal consent u))on urgent cause to lake it away, if thereunto she be constrained through the proud, tyrannical, and unreforniable dealings of her Bishops, whose regiment she hath thus long delighted in, because shi- hath found it good and requisite to be so goverued.

HAT ARE THE BISHOPS DOING?" is a cry now heard on every hand. The Church Of England is in danger, from Pajial foes without, and Romanizing clergy within the fold. The hosts of Rome encamp around her on every side, aided by thousands of clerical traitors within; alarm and indigna- tion widely prevail amongst her most loyal sons and daughters ; and discord and disunion, instead of peace and quietness, are sown broadcast throughout the land. " Grievous wolves " have entered in amongst us, '' speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them " (Acts xx.-29, 30). Under circumstances such as these, St. Paul's exhortation to the " overseers " of the Church of God was to "watch.'' But many of the Bishops of the Church of England, instead of watching, have gone to sleep ! it is to be feared that there is only too much truth in the assertion which has been made, that the favourite petition of many Bishops is '' Give peace, in our time, O Lord "' ! And meanwhile the Roman enemy without continue their attacks, and the traitorS within plot and labour for the surrender of the fold to t he men without. And the terribly sad and solemn thouglit is that every one of these men, without a solitary exception, has been admitted within the fold by the Bishops themselves, and hy no other, and has by them beenoi'dained and placed over the flock committed to his charo-e. The chief under-shepherds have opened the doors of the sheepfold,and have admitted, and even welcomed, the " ravening wolves " who have come to destroy the innocent sheep for whom Christ died. The Church is rent asnnder, and the air is thick with coming disasters. Meanwhile not a few of the Bishops, comfortably settled in their Palaces, and enjoying all the blessings of this life, Gallio like, care for none of these weightier things, which occupy most men's minds. If ever they do wake up for a moment from their comfortable sleep of indifference, it is only tO grOWl at the ProtestantS who are urging them do their duty, or else tO enCOUrage, by their smiles and patronage, the men who are working all the mischief. Ample proof of these charges will be found in the following pages. But though they sleep, they sleep on a volcano, like their predecessors Laud and his brother Bishops of the seventeenth century. " They are shepherds that cannot understand" (Isaiah Ivi.-ll). And yet the Bishops are all, as the above quotations* from the form for the Consecration of Bishops prove, under very solemn promises, not only " to banish and di'ive away all erroneous and strange doctrine contrary to God's Word,"bntalso to " enCOUrage Others to do the same." Alas ! we have again and again to ask, when do they encourage others in this Godly work ? Do they not rather discourage them to the utmost of their power ? Formal complaints against false doctrine taught by clei'gyuu'n have again and again been addi-essed to members of the Episcopal Bench, but only to be either coldly acknowledged in the most formal manner possible, or else treated with unmitigated contempt. They seem to think that they are the Church's masters, "Lords over God's heritage" (I Peter v. -.">), instead of being the Church's servants, as much subject to luM- rules as tlic limn!)l(>s( clergyniiui oi' layman in their dioceses. * See Wr;i|)i)f'r, [v,i0INTE D iNCDMBENTS, Wl TO HAVh: SUPl'ORTEl Ritualism, as DESCRIBED BELOW, PAGE 39 e t seq., WITH POI'LLATION COMMITTED TO 'I'HEIR ChARGE.

IT, T(tT.\L . -M'J We now tui-n to unotlier :isj)t'ct of the o-eneval subject before us. It is reasonable to assume tli;it im Bishop would accejtt the olliee of "Visitor' of any institution until he is fully !ic(juainted with its I'ules, obj(!cts, and methods of woik. His aceeptance of the office is rif^htly assumed by the public as equivalent to an Episcopal approval nf the institution. It cannot for one moment lie supposed that he would become " Visitor" of an institution of which hi! disapproved. It is, therefore, most important, in connection with an '" Indictment of the Bishops,'" to call public attention to the assistance their lord- " I wouL upon them as- liunian iiifirn] yfiur name, w you answer."- 23 ships give, in this way, to tlie work of the Ronianizex^s in the Church of England. To begin with the Society of the Sacred Mission, we leavn from The Ely Diocesan Calendar, for 1898, p. 222, tliat the Bishop of Ely is the "Visitor" of this institution, whose head- quarters are at Mildenhall, in his lordship's diocese. The Society of the Sacred Mission is, in reality, a Monastic Order, as appears by the official statement which is printed in The Ely Diocesan Calendar, where we read that one of the " objects " of the Mission is " to bind together in the Religious Life those [men] working for God who seem called to that state " (p. 222). It is well known that the term " Religious Life " for men is equivalent to the MonastiC Life. Only those men are allowed to become members of this Monastic Oi'dei" who " have detei'mined to give iheir lives — (a) without pay or salary, (6) without marriage " (ibid., p. 223). From an official statement issued by the Mission we learn further : " The Life is that of a Religious House, and candidates must be willing to learn to live — (1) in restraint, and under submission to rules and to orders, by the sacrifice of self-will and personal dignity ; (2) in poverty and simplicity of life." All this is, of course, equivalent to the usual Monastic Vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience. In the chapel attached to the " House of the Sacred Mission," Mildenhall, advanced Romanizing ritual is used, including the use of Incense, Popish Vestments, "Altar Lights," Eastward Position, and the Mixed Chalice. And all this under the patronage of the Bishop of Ely. 2Vie Kalendar of the English Church, for 1898, p. 282, says of the Society of the Sacred Mission : " It has received formal commendation from the Lord Bishop of Ely, who has become its Visitor, and from Avhom it has received formal recognition as a Theological and Missionary College." No doubt this attempt to revive Monasticism is greatly assisted by the publication of the Bishop of Ely's name as " Visitor." Before the Mission removed from its quarters in Vassaii Road, Brixton, it was* under the patronage of the * Its Trustees, appointed by the Bishop, were Sir .J.W. B. Riddell, of the E. C. U., and the Rev. C. E. Brooke, of the C. B. 8. Two of its ••J'rovincials " are also C. B. 8. men. 24 Bishop of Rochester (Dr. Talbot), who not only acted as its "Yisitor," but in other ways warmly assisted its operations. At present, says The (Itficial Year-Bool- of tlie Church of England, for 1898. " the Home is under the direction of the Bishop of Ely" (p. 151). Early in the j-ear 1898 this Society of the Sacred Mission issued privately a circular to the Ritualistic clergy, in which they offered grants at a reduced rate of a new Catechism of Faith and Practicp, printed at their own private press, for use in Sunday Schools. It is one of the most thoroughly Romi.sh Catechisms to be met with, as the following brief extracts will prove. The italics are ours : — " Where is our Lord Jesus Christ ? " Our Lord Jesus Christ as God is everjnvhere ; as God "" The Bishop of Chichester is Visitor and President of Cliichester Theological College, its Piincipai, Canon Teulon, is a mernlier of tlie English Church Union. The Bishop of Bath and Wells is Visitor of Wells Theological College. Its Principal, the Rev. H. P. Currie, is a member of tlie Confraternity of tlie Blessed Sacrament, and of the English Church Union. The Bishop of Salisbury is Visitor of St. Boniface's Missionary College, Warminster. The Piincipal, the Rev. Sir J. E. Philipps, Bart., is a member of the Confraternity of the Blessed Saci'ament. The Bishop of Ely is Visitor of Ely Theological College. In its chapel the Eastward Position is adopted at Holy Communion, the Mixed Chalice is in use, and '■ Altar Lights" are burnt in the daytime. Its Principal, Canon B. W. Randolph, is a member of the English Church Union. The Vice-Principal, the Rev. F. W. Hutchinson, is a member of the English Church Union, and so also is the Chaplain, the Rev. A. H. 0. M'Cheane. The Lesser Hours of the Sariim. Breviary, translated and arranged according to tlie Kalendar of the Church of England, has been adopted for the Ely Theological College, it claims that the festival of Corpus Christi, in honour of the transubstantiated wafer, is to be observed. The book is saturated with Mariolatry. In a Latin Litany in this book, precedence iS givCn to thC Pope, with Bishops and ''Abbots," over the Queen. (See Church Intelligencer, December, 1889, p. 180.) The Bishop of Ripon is Visitor of the Leeds Clergy School. The Warden is the Vicar of Leeds, who, in his Parish Church, adopts the Eastward Position at Holy Communion, uses the Mixed Chalice, and burns " Altar Lights "' in the daytime. The Vice-Principal, the Rev. .). B. Seaton. is a member of the Enolish Church Union. The Bishop of Oxford is Patron of St. Stephen's House, Oxford, which is a Theological College, in the 30 chapel the Eastward Position is adopted at Holy Communion, the Mixed Chalice is in use, " Altar Lights " are burnt in the daj-time. and the Romish Vestments are worn. The Principal, the Rev. C. E. Plumb, is a member of the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament, and of the English Church Union. The Bishop of Oxford is Visitor of Dorchester Missionary College, its Vice-Piincipal, the Rev. R. U. Potts, is a member of the English Church Union. In addition to the above the following Theological Colleges, in High Church hands, are under Episcopal patronage, viz. : Lichfield Theological College ; Salisbury Theo- logical College ; Scholse Cancellarii, Lincoln ; Truro School of Divinity ; and Burgh MissionarylCoUege. It will, no doubt, surprise many readers to learn that such a large number of Theological Colleges for training the future clergy are in High Church or Ritualistic hands. The grave nature of this evil cannot easily be over-estimated. If the wells are poisoned, hoAV shall the people have pure water ? It is most important that Protestant parents who intend their sons to become clergymen should be careful not. on any account, to send them to Theological Colleges, where the teaching staff are more or less Ritualistic. Happily there are Theo- logical Colleges where the students are taught on Reformation lines, such as St. John's Hall, Highbury ; Wycliffe Hall, Oxford ; and Ridley Hall, Cambridge. These valuable and important institutions are worthy of the increased support of Evangelical Churchmen. In the choice of an Examining Chaplain, each Bishop has a free hand. Unliappily many members of the Episcopal Bench have selected for thi.s high and most important office clergymen who are zealous partisans of the sacerdotal party, and membersof extreme societies of a Romanizing character. The names of these Examining Chaplains will be found in the following pages. The late Archdeacon Deiiison, when Examining Chaplain to a former Bishop of Bath and Wells, refused to pass for Ordination any young man who did not profess his faith in Baptismal RegcneratioTi and the Real Presence. Subsequently he gloried in acting thns. (See his Notes of My Life.) 31 Is there not grave reason to fear that other Examining Chaplains of the Ritualistic party act in the same way ? We do not assert that it is so in every instance ; yet there can be little doubt that the possi- bility that it might be so in their own case has kept many an Evangelical young man from offering himself for Ordination in a diocese under Ritualistic control. No member of any society teaching Romish doctrines ought to be allowed to hold the influential office of Examining Chaplain. Loyal Churchmen have a just cause for alarm and dissatisfaction with the Bishops on this subject. We do not wonder that during the past few years the number of candidates for Holy Orders has decreased largely. The prospect of having to pass through the hands of Ritualistic Examining Chaplains has, no doubt, a great deal to do with this decrease. In connection with the subject of Ordination, the BishopS are guilty of a serious misuse of the powers entrusted to them, by recommending for the study of candidates for Holy Oi'ders a large number of books whicli teach Popish doctrines. In the following pages a selection only has been made from these books, and extracts from them are given, with full references in each case, proving that, under Episcopal guidance, advice, and recom- mendation, the future clergy are, in certain English dioceses, expected to study works teaching — 1. Purgatory. 2. Intercession of Saints. 3. Seven Sacraments. 4. Extreme Unction. 5. Transubstantiation and the Real Presence. 6. The Eacharistic Sacrifice for the Living and the Dead. 7. Reunion with the apostate Church of Rome. 8. Reunion with the corrupt Eastern Church. 9. Auricular Confession. 10. Prayers for the Dead. 11. That the English Protestant Martyrs were mostly "fanatics." 12. The praise of the Oxford Movement. 13. The alleged benefits of Convents. 14. Priests as necessary mediators between Laymen and God. 32 Is it to be wondered at that so many of our Englisli clergy are Romauizers, when the Bishops thus recoinmend Popish (ioctrines for their acceptance, and that at the most critical time in their youth, before their theological opinions are finally fixed ? To. recommend such Romanizing books to them, under such circum- stances, is almost, if not quite, equivalent to forcing Popery into the minds of the future clergy of the Reformed Church of England. As we have already stated, we do not in these pages give an account of all the misdeeds of the Prelates in helping on the Romeward Movement, and undoing, so far as possible, tiie work of the Reformation. There is mUCh which iS dOnO privately in this direction. Private Episcopal influence, private Episcopal conversation, go a long way with many of the clergy. Not a few of the more timid Protestants are prevented from coming out boldly on the Protestant side, through fear of what their Bishops may say or do. The fear, in only too many instances, is not groundless. The hands of the High Church Bishops are often heavy on the Protestant clergy, in ways the public never hear about. The present Archbishop of York, when Bishop of Lichfield, refused to allow a Church Association vicar to have a much-needed curate, solely because of the vicar's decidedly Protestant views. In multitudes of rectories and vicarages throughout the land painful and sore feelings against the Bishops are smothered up because it would not be safe to give expression to them. The whole world knows how powerful is the influence, and how zealOUS are the efforts, which certain Bishops have made in trying to force the Evangelical i'lid law-abiding < lergy to givc up Evening Communion, and to adopt the surplice in the pulpit instead of the preaching gown, declai-ed legal by the courts of law. And yet these Pjvaugelical clergy, often sorely harassed and persecuted by the Bishops, are the men who, more than any others, are first in rendering due obedience to the laws of the Church, and are zealous in good works. The Bishojis, however, will learn, it may be soonei- than they at present think, that the party which has, under God, pioduced tlie Church Missionary Socicsty, tlie Chinch Pastoral Aid Society, THE CRUCIFIX AT ST. PAUL'S. Till' aliuM- irpusriits llip Rerf.lo^ at Sit. I'aur.s Catliclial. It will be (ibserved tliat in the fiMitie is a Cnicitix, and elevated high above the linage of our f-aviour (see Second ConnnandmenT) is another Image of the Virgin Mary, so gilded as to appear by gas-light as if crowned as " Queen of Heaven." According to the Church of Rome, tlie Crucitix is retiuircd for the proper celebration of Mas.s ; yet when the citizens of London wished to test the lawfulness of this structure, which they were prepared to show had received idolatrous veneration, Bishop Temple, now Archbishop of Canterbury, vetoed the proceedings. 35 and a host of other organizations for tlie glory of (jiod and the spiritual and bodily welfare of mankind, is too strong to be safely despised, ignored, or persecuted. The Evangelicals, more than any others, represent the views of the Protestant Reformers. They existed in the Church long before Ritualists wej-e heard of. and they do not intend to be driven out now. It may bo that the English Nation will again, as in the seventeenth centuiy, though with less violent methods, learn the great lesson taught by the "Judicious Hooker," in the extract from his works given above, namely, that it is not by any "heavenly law" but "by force of custom " that the Bishops rule, and that it is within the power of the Church to take the authority which the Bishops now possess from them. The learned Bishop Jewel's words will find an echo in many hearts in this nineteenth century : " Some sa}', the Bishops be they that should redress the Church. Would to God they would! " But, with Jewel, we have only too much reason to fear that they Avill do nothing of the kind. The remedy of the present great evils, schisms, and contentions in the Church of England is apparently, not to be sought for on the Episcopal Bench, but, under God, rests with the people of England. The laitymnst reform the Church themselves. We complain often enough, and not without reason, that Prime Ministers appoint High Church and Ritualistic, instead of decidedly Protestant BishopS. But, after all, hero comes in the question, With whom does the fault jjrlmarily rest ? Is it not with the people of England themselves ? If the electors voted as they ought, only for Protestant Members of Parliament, no Government would be allowed to exist which, through the Prime Minister, nominated unfaithful and Ritualistic Bishops. Meanwhile, and until a more effectual remedy can be applied, public opinion can do much to cripple Episcopal powers for mischief. We can demand the abolition of the Episcopal Veto, so powerful in shielding the Ritualistic law-breakers from the just consequences of their misdeeds. Loyal Churchmen can refUSC tO SUbscribc even the smallest sum tO DioCCSan SocictiCS whose funds go to centralize patronage and, more or less, to support the work of the Pope in the Church of England. Why should Protestants give money to pull 3(3 clown their own house in which they live ? The Romanizing Bishops must be made to fear the Protestantism of England, when they refuse to be moved by higher considerations. The Council of the Church Association in presenting to the public this " Indictment of the Bishops," desiro tO emphasise the gravity of the evils to which they here direct attention, and to point out that, unless an efficient remedy is immediately applied, there is every reason to fear that the evil will increase as the yeai'S go on. The Bishops have sinned by omission as well as commission ; they have, with a few exceptions, inexcusably neglected their duties ; and, apparently, have forgotten their consecration vows to ''banish and drive away all erroneous and strange doctrine contrary to God's Word." Here, if anywhere, they ought to be " not slothful in business " (Rom. xii. 11). But, alas ! it must be .said, that " By much slothfulness the building dccayeth ; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through" (Eccles. x. 18). Their sins of commission are set forth in this " Indictment." Nothing seems to delight certain BisllOpS more than to be seen in vest- ments whicii make them look like genuine Popish prelates. They have made friends with the enemies of the Protestant Reformation, and frowned upon its best friends. They liavr heaped lionours on those who have turned their backs on the good old ways of our forefathers. They have appointed 28 supporters of Ritualism as ArchdcaCOUS ; and 27 to Resi- dentiary CanonrieS, with haud.some salaries attached to each of them. The enoi mous number of 319 supjiorters of Ritualism have received HoD. Canonries from the Bishops. Their lordships have presented at least 70 members of the Romanizing Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament to livings in their gift, and have given tlieni £15,672 CVCry year to do thuir work among 261,393 immortal souls. 197 members of the Romanizing and lawless English Church Union have received livings from the Bishops, with no kss thin £47,001 a year to labour |ur thC dOStrUCtion of ProtestaUtiSm among 700,033 souls. But tliis by no means exhausts their sins of .•ommissioii. SupportCrS Of Ritualism aie now receiving as 37 the gifts of unfaithful Bishops, the gigantic sum of £118,565 a year every penny of which ought, on the principles of common justice, to have been given only to men who maintain the Protestant faith pure and undefiled. Their lordshipS have handed over a vast population of not less than 1,879,787 persons to the care of men, not one of whom, had they lived at the beginning of this century, would have I'eceived any favour from the Episcopal Bench. The Council of the Church Association appeal to the Protestants of England, and ask them to do their duty in this weighty matter. Unless the Bishops do their duty they ought to be turned out of OflB.Ce, and faithful men placed in their room. We have had, of late, too much of proud Prelates ; we want humble bishops who will faithfully take care of the flocks committed to their charge, men who will love the sheep more than the wolves, and who, like the Martyr Bishops of the Sixteenth Centur}', will be willing rather to die, than allow Popery to have its way in the Church of England. Let every faithful Protestant offer daily the prayer of the dying King Edward VI. : " Lord God, save Thy chosen people of England ! my "Lord God, defend this Realm from Papistry, and maintain "Thy true religion, that I and my people may praise Thy Holy " Name, for Thy Son Jesus Chr^ist's sake." 40G131 BRIEF EXPLANATION OF SIGNS, &c., Used in the following pages. + . .

Salary, £15,000 a year and a Palace. Consecrated 1869. Translated in 1897, by LORD SALISBURY. When Bishop of Exeter. (1) He promises to protect the Lawless Clergy from the Law Courts. ((() "I am prepared to bind myself to be governed by the decision of the Archbishop on appeal if any clergyman presented for ritual or doctrine were to submit himself to me. I should in that case stop all proceedings against him on the ground that he had obeyed the Prayer Book by referring the question to the Bishop [!], and I should then hear him personally, and after consideration, should announce the decision I was prepared to give . . if, in the exercise of my discretion, I thought it better to make no order, either as regards the whole matter in dispute, or as regards certain particulars in it, I should be hound hi/ no decision at nil."— Charge, 1884. [h] " If it could be said that the Bishops had no power to protect the clergy from the Courts it might be said that the Bishops should come in as judges; but when the Bishops had the power to begin with, he did not see how they could call on the State to grant them any more." — Speech in Convocation, J\x\y, 1884. When Bishop of London. (1) He consecrates Churches full of Popery. (a) Consecrated St. Cuthbert's, rhilbeach Gardens, and took part in a high celebration, himself celebrating, with lights, sanctus bell, and crucifix ; and at a later celebration, on the same day, there were no communicants with the priest. The Bishop's attention being called to this, he did nothing whatever. — Church InteUifjenccr, V.-;3 and 17. {h) Consecrated "Church of the Holy Redeemer," Clerkenwell, with a crucifix over the altar, stations of the cross hung on the walls, six vesper' 40 lights burning, and a space set apart in body of church as a confessional. — English Churdiman, 1888, p.

(a) He preached at St. Columba's, Haggerston, October 5th, 1896, and took part in a procession headed by across and two lighted candles, he being censed by the Eev. D.

(a) Repeated complaints of extreme ritual at St. Ethelburga, Bishopsgate, by the churchwardens. No acknowledgment of these complaints, and no alteration made in the church, or service. — English Churchman, 1888, p. 745. (b) Attention being drawn to a tabernacle, images of Virgin and of our Lord with a "sacred" ace-of-hearts, crucifixes, and sacring bells, at St. Clement's, CityKoad, the complaint was merely acknowledged. — Protestant Observer, 1893, p. 154. (c) When complaint was made of an image of Virgin with candles before it, at St. Michael's, Shoreditch, Dr. Temple took no action. — Poch, 1897, p. 703. (4) He grants Dispensations from imaginary obligations. {(i) He dispensed the clergy and congregation of All Saints', Margaret Street, from the obligation to keep All Saints' Day, November 1st (a P'riday) as a fast day, in order to keep the parochial festival of their church. — Englislt Clnircli- ■man, 1889, p. 710. {b) He granted a dispensation from vows to Eev.

(2) Invites Communicants to take part in lawlessness.

Twelve months later, the condition of the Diocese of Exeter became such that Tlie Record said (June 21st), " It is notorious that Romanizing practices and distinctively Roman doctrines are observed and taught," and " conversions from within the most intimate clerical circles have taken place even from clerical families." But beyond verbal complaints, the Bishop has done nothing whatever. RITUALISTIC APPOINTMENTS BY PAST AND PRESENT BISHOPS. Date of Prefer- ment. Name. Ritualistic Societies and Petitions. Ritual.

Carlyle is Prior; there is no congregation, and the churchwardens, after a long and bitter experience, during which they have not been able to get any help from tlie Bishop, are obliged to record in their last presentment that the fault of the present scandal is entirely the Bishop's (sec Cheltenham Free Press, May 21st, 1898).

(1) THE SOCIETY OF THE HOLY CROSS.— The members of this Society have the sjTiibol -|- attached to their names. The names have been taken from the official and secretly printed Rolls of Brethren for 1897. This Society is composed of clergymen only, or hoiu'i fide candidates for Holy Orders. It is, in the strictest sense of the word, a secret Society. At the request of this Society a book was printed, and afterwards circulated by it, entitled Tlw Priext in Ahsuhttiati, of which the late Archbishop of Canterbury (Tait) said, in the House of Lords, on June 14th, 1877, that, " No modest person could read the book without regret, and that it is a (li.ifirace to the coiiuii uii ity that such a work should be circulated under the authority of clergymen of the Established Church." On July 6th, in the same year, his Grace, in a speech delivered in the Upper House of Convocation, declared of the Society of the Holy Cross itself that it is, — " A conspiracy in our body against the doctrine, the discipline, and the practice of our Eeformed Church." f Episcopally-appointed Incumbents who are, or have been, members of this Society, are receiving £1401 every year to instruct 38,930 souls. (2) CONFRATERNITY OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT.— Mem- bers of this Society are marked c. in the lists. The names of the members are taken from the official Roll of Priexts-Axxociate for 1896, which is the latest known to have fallen into Protestant hands. If any of those clergymen mentioned as members have withdrawn since 1896, they must blame the C. B. S. itself for the facts not being known to the compiler. If there is one thing more than another which the Society dreads, it is that Protestant Churchmen shall know the names of its Priests- Associate. In fact, some of those priests are so afraid of the light, that they will not allow their names to be printed at all, even in the privately issued Roll, in which it is stated : " There are in addition certain Priests- Associate who do not wish their names to appear in print." A secret "Intercession Paper" is circulated among the members every month, and no one is admitted to its Annual Meeting in London, unless he first of all produces his medal of membership. The chief objects of the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament are the propagation of belief in the Mass, and the " Real " Presence, together with Fasting Connnunion, Prayers for the Dead, the Reserved Sacrament, and the reunion of the Church of England with the Church of Rome. Writing to the " Superior General " of the Confraternity as to its work, the late High Church Bishop Wilberforce said : " It is quite sure to stir up a vast amount of prejudice from Us Kiinjularly uii-Einilisli dinl Popixli tone . . . and as Bishop I exhort yon to use no attempts to spread this Confraternity among * For further information concerning these and other Ritualistic Societies, see Walsh's Scrrel History of the Oxford Movement.

Thk Parish Priest of the To\v\. ]{y the Right Rev. John Gott, d.d.. Bishop of Truro. First Edition. [Recommended by the Bishops of Bath and "Wells, Chester, Manchester, Southwell, St. Albans, Truro, and Wakefield.] The Bible Society. — " Don't join Dissenters on religious platforms ; ... it is wrong in principle, e.;/., you will soon be asked- to attend a meeting of the Bible Society. . . . The Church is the Bible Society. . . . Therefore I cannot go to a Bible Society, which annuls its own teaching, discredits its true witness, and does not know its own keeper" (pp. 153, 1-54). Absolution.—" In the Absolution speak as one who bears the priceless Atonement from the God of penitents to the souls He has trusted to your care " (p. 180). " Exceptionally valuable " Books for the Clergy. — Bishop Gott gives in this Parish Priest of the Toivn, a list of books for a " Town Curate's Book-Shelf." He writes: "A fairly complete list would be cumbersome, and I only write down those that I have Jhund exceptionally valuable to myaelf" (p. 214). Amongst the books thus highly commended- — and the recommendation is now, alas ! endorsed by seven Bishops — are The Priest's Prayer Book (p. 216) ; and Dr. Pusey's Manual for Con- fessors (p. 229). The former of these has forn\s of prayer for driving the devil out of salt and water, and a host of other superstitions, together with the most advanced Popery to be found within the Church of England. The latter work, for Father Confessors is outrageously Popish, being, in fact, translated, with adaptations, from a genuine Popish book by the Abbe Gaume. The Truth and Office of the Ex(;li3h Church. By E. B. Pdsey, d.d. Fourth Thousand. [Recommended by the Bishop of Lincoln.] Reunion with Rome. — "I have never expected to see that external unity of intercommunion restored in my own day ; but I have felt it to be an end to be wished for. and prayed for. I doubt not that the Roman Church and ourselves are kept apart much more by that vast practical system which lies beyond the Council of Trent, things which are taught with a quasi-authority in the Roman Church. 104 than by what it? actually dedned . . . explanations which, so long as they remain individual, must be unauthoritative, might be formally made by the Church of Eome to the Church of England, as the basis of Keunion " (pp. 98, 99). Inteecession OF Saints. — "The mere ' ora pro nobis,' so explained, could not have led any to stop short in the Saints, nor have called forth any protest, out of zeal for God's honour " (p. 101). Purgatory. — ■" There is no ground for thinking that, in rejecting the popular 'Romish doctrine of Purgatory,' the Church of England meant to reject all suffering after this life." Anointing of the Sick. — " Nor do I know of any ground, except the custom of the Church, why it should not be used in England " (p. 222). Tr.vnsubstantiation. — " My own conviction is, that our Articles deny Transub- stantiation in one sense, and that the Roman Church, according to the explanation of the Catechism of the Council of Trent, affirms it in another " (p. 229). Studies in the History of the Book of Common Prayer. By H. M. LucKocK, D.D. First Edition. [Recommended by the Bishops of Bath and Wells, Ely, Lincoln, Southwell, and Wakefield.] Auriculae Confession — Sacrificial Teems and Vestments — Altae — Real Peesence. — " When we open the Communion Office [in the Second I^-ayer Book of Edward VI.] we are confronted with the same reckless indijf'erence to Catholic doctrine a)ul practice, and an ever-widening divergence from the lines laid down by the first Revisionists. . . . The concluding paragraph of the Exhoi"tation, following the direction for such as were ta-oubled in conscience to resort to the priest ' for comfort and absolution,' previously ran thus : ' requiring such as shall be satisfied with a General Confession, not to be offended icith llwni that do nse, to their further satisfj/infi, the Auricular a)ul Secret Confession to the priest, nor those also which think needful or convenient, for the quietness of their own consciences, particularly to open their sins to the priest, to be offondcd with them that are satisfied with their humble Confession to God, and the General Confession to the Church . . .' Few persons, who recognise the real teaching of the Church upon Confession and .Absolution, can fail to rcf/ret that such valuable counnel shoiild have been removed . . . " In this revised Service, the Sacrificial aspect was greatly obscured by that of Communion. Sacrificial terms were for the most part suppressed ; sacerdotal vestments forbidden ; the position of the altar was changed, and the arrangement of important parts of the service disturbed. Everything, in short, was done, as the Revisionists fondly hoped, to dissociate the mind of the worshipper fi'om all thoughts of oblation and sacrifice. . . . The term 'Altar,' which was the oorrela- 105 tive of sacrifice, was erased from this and every other rubric, and Table or Holy Table substituted. The most honourable place occupied by the Altar all througli the Church's history was left vacant, and the Table brought down to the body of the Church . . . " In almost every Primitive Liturgy there had been a distinct prayer that the Spirit of God would sanctify the Elements that they might become to those who received them the Blessed Body and Blood of Christ. To eliminate this then wan to break away from Catholic iisai/e as well as to ignore the immediate action of the Holy Ghost. . . . " Now the above is a long and heavy hill of indictment against the Second Revisionists /or departure from Catholic doctrine'' (pp. 91, 95, 96, 100-103, 100). An Exi'LANATiON OP THE Thirtv-Nixe ARTICLES. By A. p. Forbes, d.c.l., Bishop of Brechin. Second Edition. [Recommended by the Bishop of Lincoln.] Churches of Home axd the East. — " Since no doctrine formerly received by all the Orthodox Eastern Patriarchates can be pointed out, which the Church of England can be held to have had in view when it declared [in Article XIX.] that these Patriarchates had erred, then neither, by the force of the terms, is any doctrine formerly received of the Latin Church intended, when it says that the Church of Rome had erred " (p. 272). Purgatory. — " We must come to the conviction that it was not the formulized doctrine, but a current and corrupt practice in the Latin or Western Church, which is here [Article XXII. ' Of Purgatory '] declared to be ' fond ' and ' vainly invented'" (p. 303). Intercession of Saints. — " If the intercession of believers on earth may be invoked, without injury to the honour of Christ as Mediator, why not also the inter- cession of the saints in heaven? Had this been all, the Article [XXII. on Invocation of Saints] never could have been written " (p. 423). Seven Sacraments.— " The septenary number of the Sacraments had long been held both by the Greek and Latin Churches, and there is no ground to deprive of a sacramental character the rites for which that character is claimed " (p. 448). Extreme Unction.—" The Unction of the Sick is the lost pleiad of the Anglican firmament. One must at once confess and deplore that a distinctly Scriptural practice has ceased to be commanded in the Cliurch of England" (p. 465). Transubstantiation. — "If ' substance ' means no more than its Greek equiva- lent, ovaia, ' essence ' ; and if the term ' is Transubstantiated ' means no more than those old words ' becomes ' ' is ' ; and if, by it, the Roman Church only means to guard with greater accuracy our Blessed Lord's words, ' This is My Body,' not 106 contradicting anything which we know by experience. . . .

[Recommended by the Archbishop of York, and the Bishops of Bath and Wells, Ely, Oxford, Rochester, St. Albans, Wakefield, and Winchester.] The English Protestant Martyrs. — " The vast majority of those [Protestants] who suffered [in Queen Mary's reign] were not people even of religious influence. They were illiterate /«nrtf/cs" (p. 305). EvanxtElical CHrRCHMEN. — " They interpreted the Prayer Book by the light of their own prepossessions. They cared little for its history and tradition, ignored much of its teachinri and ritual, and valued it chiefly for the devotional beauty of its language " (p. 451). Tract XC. — "Newman argued Tin Tract XC] that there was no Catholic doctrine, and hardly any theological Roman doctrine, condemned by the Articles ; but only popular exaggerations and misrepresentations of Roman doctrine current at the time when the Articles were drawn up. Most men would now admit that, for the purpose which he had in hand, Xcirninit's nr/ the viiiid of God. What is it of Hh purpouc which the Oxford Movement in its full development has made its own ? . . It offered to the devout and spiritual a special vocation of obedience, of self-discipline, of retirement, of service, in the ronscrrated life of tlie Cloister. . . No man has become the weaker for submitting himself to the Oxford Movement. There are jiKuiy whoxe vtoral fiiiliire datex from their renunrintion of it. From the point of view of history the Church revival of the present century is seen to be nothing more than the romplete reartiim afiaiiixt the Protextaiit 3Ioreiiieiit of the si.rteeiifh eentiinj " (pp. 490, 492). What the Oxfori> Movement Means. — " It means tlie rextoratioN <;/' l/ie Church of Enrjland to the 2>oxitiott tchirli it held irheii Edward VI. eaine to the throne.* It means the repudiation of the teaching and the systems of Zwingli, Luther, and Calvin " (p. 493). Thk Doctrine of the PiaESTHOOu. By T. T. Carter, m.a. Second Edition. [Recommended by the Bishop of Lincoln.] Sacrifice for the Living and the Dead.—" This Oblation, moreover, is made for the same ends and purposes for which our Lord offered Himself. And as He offered Himself for all for whom He was about to die,— not for the living only, but for those also who had gone before, and those who were to come afterwards— so our Sacrifice is offered, not merely for those present, or for those only who are alive on earth, but for those also who have ' died in the faith ' " (p. 40). * That is, a restoration to the state of things which existed on the death of Henry VIII., for Mr. Wakeman censures severely the change which took place " on the accession of Edward YI." He declares that " the change was an unfortunate one for themselves and for England, and espeeiallii unfortunate for the KniiUxh Church." The "position" of the English Church, on the accession of Edward YI. and before any change was made, was that of accepting almost every doctrine of Popery, excepting the Pope's Supremacy. The bloody Act of the " Six Articles " remained in force for more than twelve months after Henry's death. 108 Chukch Dc'CTRixE, EiBLE Truth. Bj the Rev. M. F. Sadler. Seventh Edition. [Recommended by the Bishops of Chichester, Lincoln, Truro, and St. Albans.] Priestly Mebiatokship. — " Does God bestow all things pertaining to salvation (Urcctlij from Hiiiisdf, or does God lead us to expect certain great blessings per- taining to salvation, not (Urectlij, hut intUn'ctli/ — through means of grace which He has Himself established, and of which means He ordains certain of our fellow- creatures to be the administrators '? . . . It cannot be contrary to the glory of God that He should make use of subordinate agents and outward risible aijinK to acer(h)tut what is still more remarkable is the fact that since it was delivered a number of alterations have been secretly inserted! The first change was the substitution of "last revision" for " the Savoy Conference," intended to hide the Bishops' mistake in having attributed the revision of the Prayer Book to the abortive Savoy Conference. Next a list of seventeen corrections, some of them very material, was seat in by Sir John Hassard, the registrar of the Archbishop's Court, all of which are printed in The Church Intelligencer for October, 1893. Another alteration is found in the list published by Mr. Roscoe, the law reporter, which may be procured from Messrs. Clowes, the publishers. In 1894 a second edition was published by Macmillan's, containing a list of "corri- genda " which omits two of the former corrections, which had been authorised and published by Archbishop Benson, yet it retains the unnoticed alteration first described, without an]i acknowledgment or any voucher. Ijastly, on Appeal, the Privy Council three times over sanctioned the minister standing at that part of the table '' which faces Eastward." Those words were repeated three times by the Lord Chancellor in open court, and were so printed in the official copies given out in court, as well as in the Reports of The Times, Guardian, and other papers, and in Dr. Cutts' Handij Book of the Church of England, published by the S. P. C. K. : yet this final Judgment of the Supreme Court has been stealthily reversed by changing "eastward" into "westward " (I) at some unknown period, and by some unknown authority. Litigation becomes worthless if published Judgments may be thus tampered with again and again : since in a few years' time the true text must become indiscoverable. The Decisions in the Lambeth and Privy Council Judg-ments. Eight points of ritual were charged against the Bishop of Lincoln and submitted to the courts for decision in this case. In the Court of the Archbishop at Lambeth, the Archbishop of Canterbury (Bensoif) declared the three following points to be illegal : — 1. Hiding the Manual Acts. 2. Making the sign of the cross. 3. Mixing the cup during the Service. 114 These points having been decided in accordance with the previous rulings by the PrivT Council, no appeal was necessary. The decision of the Archbishop on the remaining five points, being considered unsatisfactory, an appeal was made to the Privy Council, and their Lordships decided as follows : — 4. Ministering a cup mixed (htriiip the Service. No decision was given on that point ; but if No. 3 is not done. No. 4 becomes impossible. 5. Lighted candles. No decision was given, as the Supreme Court held, that so far as this charge was concerned, the Bishop was not the person respon- sible. The previous decision of this Court, against burning lights " before the Sacrament " when not required for the purpose of giving light, therefore stands, (i. The charge was rinsing vessels and drinking the ablutions (htrhuj the service. No decision as to the offence charged was given ; but the Court allowed the rinsing and drinking if done after the close of the Service. Drinking the ablutions (hiriiin the Service, therefore, stands illegal, as by previous Judgments. 7. The Eastward Position during the Ante-Communion Service. This does not include the Prayer of Consecration. It was a new point raised for the first time, and was allowed by the Privy Council. M. The singing of the " Agnus Dei." This was allowed by the Court. Out of the eight points, therefore, raised in this case. No. 7, the Eastward Position in the Ante-Communion Service, and No. S, the singing of the Agnus Dei, were the sole gains to the admirers of Mass Ritual. The result put briefly is as follows : — No. 1. Hiding the manual acts during the Prayer of Consecration . Illegal No. 2. Making the sign of the cross ..... Illegal No. H. Mixing the cup ilnriii/i the Service .... Illegal No. 4. Administering a cup mixed durinii the Service. No decision, but tlie ruling in No. 3 renders it ... . Illegal No. 5. Lighted Candles. No decision : l)ut by previous Judgments . Illegal No. (i. Rinsing vessels and diiiiking the wine and water used for their " ablutions " (hirinii the Service. No decision : but by previous decisions ....... Illegal No. 7. Eastward Position in * nte-tlommuiiion Seivicc . . . Legal No. H. 'I'bc " Agnus Dei " . . . . Legal llo It has been suggested that the Bishops have no power ; but the following shews some action which may be taken by any Diocesan Bishop : — (i) May exclude from Ordination those who refuse to pledj^e tiiemselvcs to con- form to the law. (ii) May refuse to license curates to any law-breaking incumbent, and inliibit all others from giving him assistance. (iii) May withdraw the licences of curates who assist in illegal acts. (iv) May issue monitions to lawless clergy which can be enforced by ecclesiastical punishments. (v) May refuse to consecrate places of worship where illegal ornaments are introduced. (vi) May himself take proceedings under the Church Discipline Act. (vii) May facilitate proceedings of aggrieved parishioners, and refuse to shelter lawless acts by a wanton abuse of the statutory Veto. (viii) May refuse to hold Confirmations in churches where the law is broken. (ix) May refuse to institute to a benefice a clergyman who has been in the habit of breaking the law, and who declines to promise not to repeat the illegal acts. All such inatters as would be good causes for deprivation are grounds of refusal to institute. (Hci/icuod v. />>. i>f Miniclwxti'i: 12 Q B. I)., 404.) (x) May order the removal from a church all illegal ornaments introduced without a Faculty. (xi) May forbid the clergy of his diocese to use any service not found in tlii' Book of Common Prayer. (xii) May refuse to sanction by his presence any act or ceremony which has been declared illegal by the Queen's Courts. (xiii) May inhibit law-breaking clergy, not under his jurisdiction, from olticiating or preaching in his diocese. (xiv) May inhibit law-breaking clergy, under his jurisdiction, from olticiating or preaching outside their parishes, in other churches in his diocese. statistics shewing to some extent how the Church 1.
