OUS LOUDON OOESESPONDENCB.
London, Dec. 19th, 1803.
Ae appointment of Dr. Stanley, as Dean
T(\ estminster, is not to be suffered to
unnoticed by the Evangelical party
Church of England. ' It wasscarce
ly that it would be so, since Dr.
ty’s published opinions indicated
his mind was far from correctly bal
between orthodoxy and rational
was notorious that he did not
in relation to Scripture, those
-s which are considered by the
Churches, essential to the main
-1 the authority of revelation, the
sanction of religion, of the very
of Christianity. But it was cer
, he had published bpiiions difect- 1 "
rary to the canons of“thfe Church bf
he was a member, and although the'
iar legal and political position of that
enabled him to sustain his relations
with perfect immunity, no man of
mable impartiality could deny, that
principles were not always concurrent
h those of the articles of the Establish
it. Under these circumstances it was
inful enough to the people of England
see this man made the spiritual adviser
(1 companion of the Prince of Wales;
still more painful to those who vene
ed the Scriptures and the doctrines of
ristianity, to see him, on account of bis
jOnal connection with the heir apna
't, appointed to one of the most impor
offices of the English Church. It was
iding too great a premium to the
tad Church Divines to elect one of
to a high position, and thus give to
a prominent status, as well as an
iragenient to more extreme views;
it is not singular, therefore, that a pro-
.. should have appeared, and that from
high quarter. Canon Wordsworth, in a
ir to “ The Times,” impeaches the pro
iety of Dr. Stanlfey’s-yippolntment, and
r es voice to the opinion of a great ma
in the English Church. Canon
/dsworth cannot fail to acknowledge the
illiant abilities of the Doctor—his “pic
•esque gracefulness of style and attrac
'e charms of manner.” But he clearly
leives that Dr Stanley’s opinions ren
biin incapable of properly and con
tiously filling the office, to which he
been assigned. He considers him
be tainted “ with' erroneous opinions
irning the fundamental truths which
Church of England is commissioned to
.; ” to have uttered opinions “ tending
unsettle the faith in the truth and inspi
ion of the Hofy Scriptures.” On this
*und Canon W. has felt it necessary to.
k candidly and boldly regarding the
dntment, and has done so in a letter
ich he will, I am sure, never see rea
to regret. I have before, in relation
11 Good Words,’! given utterance in your
tmns to niy belief that the greatest dan
■.o the Christian cause in the present day
,n extreme and unreasonable idea of
istian charity. Toleration, which shines
a virtue when governed by moderation
1 reason, becomes a crime when it is car
to indiscretion 5 ; and if it is execrable to
' religious opinions by iron bondage
bloody persecution, it is equally weak
criminal to overlook and permit infi
opinion on the p retence of a wide and
im bracing charity; Ohristianity. means
ler a league nor a truce with the
of evil .:' it.is, so long as the world
a perpetual' and uncompromising
with them all. I think, therefore, that
iver may be said, by the English free
ing Christians (?) abbiit the odium
\.um, Canon Wordsworth has only
trged a grerit religibah and public
in thus objecting to Dr. Stanley’s ap
tment. Dr. Stanley has made state
which “ create an uneasy suspicion,
when science has made farther pro
, the Bible must recede from the po
mitnow occupies.” If so, and if these
Dr. Stanley’s opinions, how can he
it an office whose whole meaning and
•t is the maintenance of Scriptural re
? We eannot tellj; but the day has
yet come for giving up an iota of our
le—it stands still irreproachably the
and direct revelation of God to his
ires; time has riot impaired it;
<;e has not corroded its fine arid noble
jents; reason has become demented
endeavors to attack it; while through
ue ages wheroverman bag felt his in
'ty and instability, he'hasfound en
uragement and strength in the recesses
this invincible tower. So that to-day
i man who would profess to be the mi
ster of God in a Christian Church, must
iarily and chieflymaintain the integri
md authority of the Holy Scriptures,
tially should it be so when he is to
and influence many of his brethren.
)r. Wordsworth was quite right to venti
,te the question, and as he is resident
lean, his attack comes with considerable
Uce. " The Times, ’’ professing to re
present public opinion—\frhich is a thing
tftener invoked than ever really obtained—
eembdto think the Canon’s cnvil uncalled
or, io Question tiie propriety of his
otionkaf But it publishes a letter this
aorning which well answers its criticism}:
The letter is from Reginald Smith, Rector
of Stafford, and I give you the greater
part of it as it brifly exhibits the objection
to Dr. Stanley.
I have not a shadow of doubt that an
immense majority of the clergy agree with
Dr. Wordsworth in deploring the appoint
ment of Dr. Stanley, and that because they
cannot reconcile his published opinions
with reverence to our blessed Lord and
his inspired Apostles. lam myself of a
different school of theology from Dr.
Wordsworth ; but, in common as I believe
with the whole body of the Evangelical
clergy and laity, I feel indebted to him for
the stand that he has made; I maintain
that both in his opposition and in his man
ner of offering it he has combined faithful
ness with charity, according to the rule
laid down by St. Paul, 1 Cor. xvi, 13 and
14:
Dr. Stanley and his friends attribute our
opposition to. the odium (heologicum, and
to a .narrow-minded exclusiveness: .and a
dread ojf free criticism, .’they are wholly
mistaken. We by no means wish to nar
row the broad basis of the church as a na
tional establishment; but surely, sir, there
must be sbme limits to the latitude of opi
nion in the authorized teachers of Chris
tianity. The spiritual interests of the laity
are at stake. It is essential, to their pre
sent and eternal welfare that those who
are appointed to teach them should be
preachers of the gospel—men taught by
the Holy Spirit, and sincere disciples of
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We
do not attempt to sit in judgment on the
individual relationship in which Dr. Stan
ley stands to the God and Judge of all.
We speak of him only as a public teacher,
and we protest against his appointment to
a place of high dignity and influence in the
church, not because he differs in opinion
from ourselves, but because he lias shown
by his writings that the authority of the
Old and Hew Testaments, and that of
our Lord Himself is to him a matter of
small moment if it comes into colision
with a rationalistic theory. To refer to
one instance only:—Abraham is upheld
by our Lord Himself as an example of
true faith. His conduct in the offering of
Isaac is specially commended by two
Apostles, Heb. xi., 17, and James iii., 21.
It is farther stated that Jehovah Himself
spoke to him from heaven and said (Gene
sis xxii.,) “Because thou hast done this
thing, and hast not withheld thy son, in
blessing I will bless thee.” Dr. Stanley
sets all this aside, and represents Abraham
as having acted ’from that impulse which"
led the heathen to offer human sacrifices,
and which the whole Bible declares to
have been abominable superstitions most
offensive to God. We are unable to re
concile such a treatment of Holy Scripture
with even a low degree of the reverence
due to its Divine author. On this account
we are grateful to Dr. Wordsworth for his
protest. We should be sorry indeed that
the church should lose the genius of men
of learning and talent such as Dr. Stanley;
but better. da>withoo*- j
we can do'without Christ and the Bible.
To us it is not a question between Dr.
Stanley’s views and Dr. Wordsworth’s
views, but between German rationalism
and faith in the Word of. God.
Whether Dr. Stanley will take no notice
of this attack and proceed to accept and
be invested with the Deanship, does not
yet appear. Certainly Canon Words
worth puts it to him strongly, whether or
no he can take it in conscience: and it is
a capital stroke which he makes, when he
says that he will pr esume that Dr. Stan
ley’s acceptance is a “public retraction
and recantation of whatever in his writings
can be shewn by fair and reasonable de
monstration to be at variance with them.”
This puts Dr.' Stanley to the test : as a
paper says, he must either “ explain or re
tract”
I fancy, however, that he is more likely
to take the post and do neither 1 And so
wide is the dissemination of these “ libe
ral” or "tolerant” opinions that in a few
days his heterodoxy will be forgotten and
he will be left- to his own conscience.
The way in which the Scotch “ Modera
tor ”, answers the charge of the Strathbo
gie Presbytery, against “ Good Word,” is
by trying to prove that the district of
Strathbogie is " eminent even in Scotland'
for unchastity!” The argument is this:
Ais a minister: A says that B’s views
are un-scriptural; B replies by saying that
A’s son is a rake; ergo, B would have us
believe that he is thoroughly orthodox !
We live in curious days. lam sorry to
see the course the " Weekly. Remew ” is
taking with regard to “ Good Words.” I
know and respect the editor too much not
to regret thb violence and bad taste which
sometimes darken his columns. It is not,
as he seems to think, a Question as to
whether " Good Wordk ” Is better reading
than foul novels, but as to whether “ Gpod
Words ” is good reading for faithful Chris
tians, And I think Mr. Alexander suc
cessfully settled that it was not. It is
very important, in these days, that a rell
gious newspaper should be moderate in
tone and expression, for the world judges
of Christianity very much from the temper
of. its; ministerial or printed exponents.
We have had during the last fortnight, a
hot battle between Mr.; Gobden and Ihe
Times,” in which gross personalities have
been indulged in ; but what is one’s sur
prise on opening the “ Weekly Review”
to find such writing as this by a Christian
hand? ;
"The person who. could first listen to
an eavesdropper, and then write ‘T. D.’s’
letter, is not -only no gentleman, but unfit
for'the'society of gentlemen. There is a

means of rendering itself conspicuous by
want of sense, want of manners, want—
we say not of Christianity—but of the first
principles of worldly honor. We cannot
help adding that we wonder our contempo
rary polluted his columns with this exhi
tion of spite and baseness. Our views as
to the admission of correspondence into a
newspaper are, our readers will admit, not
wanting in tolerance; but no journal, with
a proper sense of its own dignity, would
lend itself to the propagation of beggarly
scandal, or an attempt to intimidate a com
mittee in its work.”
There is no excuse for savage attacks
like these, and in a religious paper they
are lamentable.
Presbyterian union still anxiously exer
cises us all. It is prayed for, hoped for,
worked for,., and must come at last. " The
nature of the discrepancies is such, how
ever, that I almost despair of their being
assorted until the generations now living
have gone to the tomb. There are men
alive who have taken part in some of those
struggles whence the divided sections re
sulted, and they cannot easily swallow
theiri prejudices. Did these men see in
its true light the grandeur of the scheme,
the importance of it to all Christendom—
could they but forego their private preju
dice for the benefit of Christ’s universal
cause, many of them would, before they
died, see a wondrous result which would
make them die jubilant. The concentra
ted power of -the strongest,, most Scriptu
ral of all denominations—the corporate
zeal of a United Presbyterianism would be
progressive beyond all conception. To
draw away the attention of the people
from these minor differences, and prove
the paradlftunt ad van trges—political, reli
gious, denominational, international—of a
United Presbyterian Church, seems to me
to be the best course that we, who appre
ciate and believe in these advantages, can
pursue. The discussion in the Joint Com
mittee, on the relation of the civil magis
trate to religion and ; the churchy has only
resulted in the remission of, the subject to
the consideration of each separate section
of the Committee. The Manchester Pres
byterians are determined not to let the
subject rest, atd" had their third meeting
the Bth inst. I agree with one, pf*rae
speakers in advocating a general, frge, un
endowed Presbyterian 'Church for the Em
pire.

IS MEMORY OF HIS BELOVED COUSIN
AHA MARIA ROSS.
BY THOMAS MAOKBLLAR.
i [Among the events of interest in our
city during the .past week; the., dedication
of the new Soldiers’ Home, at Knee and
Crown streets, was one that excited much
attention and pleasure. The citizens re
member well the two large > fairs, succeed
ing each other, after a year of .interval,
whose object was to raise funds for this
great charity, and with the memory of
these fairs, and the associations of the
Home, 'will come the- recollection of one
who was the presiding genius of the occa
sions, and whose energy and 'industry
worked faithfully the vast machinery‘foear
ihg upon the ndblfe object, and whose sudden
death has clouded the day of its completion.
Anna M. Hobs, after a life of devotion to
others, has gone to meet the reward
awaiting her at her Master’s hands. ' She
has spent her life in earnest seeking after
God’B will, and resolute leffortSftß -fhlfill it
faithftilly; every charity found in 'her an
Retire and untiring, co-operator; her hand
was ever ready to minister to the suffering
and needy;; her warm heart was ever open
to loving charity, and her pure‘Christian
words always‘ waiting to pass the portals
of her lips. -
In the first hours when :tfte call was
made for woman’s labor in . the cause of
patriotism, Anna Ross took her position
as nurse, and principal of : an institution for
the suffering 'soldiers, and' from the
ment when she first undertook the oner
ous duties appertaining to the position she
has never faltered, never wearied'. Day
and night found her at post ; no disease
was too dangerous, no wound too loath
some for her hands to minister to; no suf
ferer was tQp rude;for her, gentle, sympa
thy ; no discouragement too' great," to un
nerve her heart, and when the'way was
opened for the foundation of a Home for
the discharged soldiers her whole energy
and life was thrown into the enterprise.
She visited all who could give aid or in,
fluence to tho scheme, travelling over the
State, canvassing the city, and, while still
constant at her old position, her earnest
endeavors were ever bent , toward the for
warding ef the noble scheme.
The E«rfe^t:self-sacrificeof her life can
°^? s .^-«8’88- r^§^!8 4 Mi by those who
have watched her tebbrse, 'been'- taken into
a place, in the same, warm heart that;,,cast
no. one out,, jnd marked the daily and
hourly toil for' the beloved object. '' At
last the work was near completion.
Aided by noble and patriotic friends, sus
tained by the citizens of Philadelphia, en
couraged by every well-wisher of the disa
bled soldier, she saw the building opened
for tfie reception of furniture, took her po
sition as Vice-President of the lady mana-
worked still faithfully to bring all
to perfection, till worn down by almost
superhuman toil, utterly exhausted by her
unparalleled exertions she laid down her
life dd the very day when the Home for
which! she had given it was dedicated, her
words of parting being, “I did not think
my work was done, but God has willed it
so ;(His will be done.” .
Vet, though the heart that willed is for
ever stilled the hand tLat toiled, clasped
now in Death’s icy fingers'; the voice that
urge 1 and persuaded, hushed forever, the
Hoi lie stands a living monument of her
enei jy and patriotism. She has raised
her t|rn most sacred memento, and it now
remi iis for the community to see that her
men ory is indelibly engraved for future
generations. Let the name of the noble
woman whose life has been given for the
work! be inscribed upon the walls, as it is
written upon the hearts of the inmates, and
the Ross Soldiers’ Home stand the token
that siose who. .will take- the.work from
hjj>ds cherish gratefully and justly the
nienidfy of her noble philanthropy. Many
members of the community have already
suggested the propriety of the change of
name/: and it is now respectfully offered to
those Jvho eqntrbl the movement, in the
hope tliat this act of gratitude and justice
may 4«irk their appreciation of the noble
lnquirer. ]
