THURSDAY, AUGUST 15,1867. . , how to trea!tritualism. ■; We had. recently put into our hands,, a sermon by Rev. Dr. Watson, Rectpr of the Church of tjhe Atonement (Episcopal) ijn, this city, on the. origin, cause and. cure ofj Ritualism. The, text,was p.n appropriate one: “For the was, given Jby MoseSj but grace and truth came by beaus’Christ." The sermon Kas'its jsKurchly asppcts, but on the whole a thirdly defence of Evangelical ism, or of spirituality, as opposed to.a*Levi-. cal ceremonialism. ’ W© shall’presenjtly.take notice of whai it is no l, but been. ... But wo wish hereto say, that the great and growing deterioration in 'the, fenglisli and American Episcopal’Churches, into a. t.i'jufs ..U.i .1. li.'.i', i U)J .0 . .i mere sacramental and ceremonial religion— “another goppel,”!!Dr. .Watson -justly calls it* —ls to all tne ,mati ter of common interest. ’ In all Chrlstian ( bodies there are too'many cases of a .loose fitting religioh, whiqb has strong centrifn gal tendencies, and, is e'ssjily thrown -off from the circle of a harmonious Gospel system, on a tangent flight toward some of those out- 1 sido errors, which preserve the name of Christianity, but i'gtfor’e itgTpmtuality.

It is; therc(qqc no gratuitous * interference with the internal troubles of another, denomination, if" we speak of gross mistaife's in the treatment of' it, on tho part of those'who hold the eccle siastical remedy,jn, their hands. , 1 Ritualism has, no dread of sermons. We do not meanbythisthat sermons on the subject are out of place. So far from that, we rejoice I .jW'hen. EvangeUcaV pastors,' like t>r. Watson, } warnings; ifroml the pulpit. We hold.it: their solemn duty, standing in the courts of the Lord’s house, to cry aloud and spare not. 1 But the time is fully reached yvhen to be hoped fpy, ;frotn such a means. It does almost nothingijin; the way of reclaiming, and absolutely nothing towards stripping from the prime agjents of tho evil, the 1 sanc tion of Church authority. They expect pulpit denunciationsi.iandlhey; are prepared] for them. They expect the -disapprobation of Conventions, and they are prepared for them also—that Is, they'.have 1, the. prepara tion of a faith tHat disapprobation will ex-, pond itself in regrets and good advice. It is through such embarrassments that the ritualistic portion Of the clei*£y expected to’ press tbeir*wayi‘ f and '’jbmjijiar-. rassments they are pressing it; mean to press it. to the end..
