jifrntA CoBareaatlonallst on the Episcopal Charch.
i .iiThe following extracts are from a lecture
''ryred at Elmlra, N. Y., by the Rev. Thomas
X. Beeuher. a Congregationalist minister. It
iajohtraeta favorably with the unfriendly criti
cisms so often made by members of one religious
body, upon other bodies:
vP - all Protestant Churches the Episcopal
est deserves the name Reformed. She pre-
e-n serves so many of the usages and excellencies of
n'VlhV Roman Church, and so few of her errors,
that It ' Is quite easy to perceive that she is a
" . ''rdf armed Church. All other Protestant Churches
"nCcin, revolutionary rather than reformed.
rut'Tuua from reign to reign the Church of England
came down, acquiring little by little her present
Bbftpe, and laying oft the corruption and unreason
of the Roman Church, as then existing and ad
ministered in that rude age. The Prayer Book
may be called substantially complete as we now
have it in the seventeenth century (1601). Thus
this reformed Church of England filled up nearly
y4'irce nandred years in her work of purifying
!aijd simplifying. And of all Protestant Churches,
therefore, she best deserves the name Reformed,
in this country, the first parish of this Church
. was j probably that in Jamestown, Virginia,
1600-8. Down to the Revolutionary war, the
Church in this land was under the care of the
Bishops of London. Shortly after the Revo
,,lationin application was made to Par
l i-vllatnent to allow an American Bishop to be con-
eeoratod. But the Puritans and Presbyterians
'opposed the proposition, and so Mr. Seabury,
""'thV candidate, had to put np with a second-rate
consecration at the hands of certain Scotch
rw.JSishopB.,' But at last, in 1787, Parliament al
ii, lowed the Archbishop of Canterbury to conse-
wat three regular, first-class Bishops for New
'".Tork.? Pennsylvania, and Virginia, respectively.
Since then the holy unction has not been allowed
',.ioaiL, With pious care it has bsen propagated.
Anl,thfr Episcopal Church in these United States
a Btamla to-day as truly and regularly in the line
?m ofApoBtolic succession as tho Church of Eng
"lftmrberself. .After, this mere ontline of her history, it
,TeniuinB that I note some of her excellent uses
rtirnd beauties.
Mi i X. Toe Episcopal Church offers for our use
. thi most venerable liturgy in the English
' tongue '"The devotional treasures of the Roman
'Catholic1 Church are embalmed and buried in
i'LftUa.'.: '.But 'in English, there are no lessons,
'gospels, psalms, collects, confessions, thanks
Art.KivuQgsi, prayers in one word, no religious form.
iT.-booktbat can stand ft moment in comparison
with the Prayer Book of the Episcopal Church
in the two-fold quality of richness and age. The
proper name, because truly descriptive, fer this
Otureh,,: would be Church of the Prayer
Book. As is the way with all other
-Churches, so here, the Church champions
vapd' leaders have many wise things to say
''tibotit the. Church and her prerogative. But
' ,' the pious , multitudes that froqueut her courts
2ro frwu thither mostly by love of the prayers
and praises, the litanies and lessons of the
..Pray i Book. And, brethren of every name, I
certify you that you rarely hear In any church a
prayer spoken in English that is not indebted
the .Prayer Book for some of its choicest
periods. And further, I doubt whether life has
-v tnrr" for any of you an uplift so high, or
''"Owpfall so deep, but that you can find eompany
'"ior jyour soul and fitting words for your lips
among ,Uie treasures of this Book of Common
mJPjrftVfcr
tin i :.fln all time ot our tribulation; in all time of
iu rur prosperity; in the hour of death and in the
. Pay Of Judgment; Good Lord, deliver us."
;;J A a consequence of the Prayer Book and its
use I note:
The Episcopal Church preserves a very
high grade of dignity, decency, propriety, and
permanence in all her public oflices. To be
ising ' to-dny the self-same words that have
tbrpugh the centuries declared the faith or made
Jjjj'kno'wu the. prayer of that mighty multitude,
"wUq being, now delivered from the burden of
HfieBU, re in joy and felicity. To be baptized In
early tufahcj", and never to know a time when
'"we were, not recognized and welcome among
.'' uthe millions who have entered by the same door.
f 'So be ijoutiruH'd in due time, la a faith that has
X sustained a uoble army of confessors, approving
rltvlkukre which klctra and neasants bow alike
w ftskiAg'tieiMidielionupon the covenant that wlih
1isut respect ot persons bind, by the same words
of duty, tho highest and the lowest. To bring
pur newiboru , children as we were brought, to
TaCglh where wo negan, and to grow up
its worm uirougn persecutions ana prosperities,
Btrcnnii to V')5 tried and a chastening to the
.':,,wmlllv-irilnded. To be married, by an nutuo-
to fill -our places. To die In
jo la t; fuith, ;ad almost hear tho Gospel words
f opp, to bo gpokeu over one's own grave as over
wrlh'o thousand times ten thousand of them who
B'iA"W1 Slept m 'esus. In short, to boa devout
.)(loon.sistout Churchman brings a man
through.,, fragrant with holy association,
and accompanied by a long procession of the
Ji.o5d dlhatiting as they mareh a unison of piety
and hope until they come to the holy place
where shining saints sing tho new song of the
icdeemcjL And they slug with them. t
Anitu!cf fcicelleneo I note:
8. The Episcopal Church furnishes (to all who
peed such comfort) the assurauce of uu organic
(fitaXhroJuin unlty and succession from Josus
' fhriet through the Apostles, by a line of au
thentic blshoiis down to Bishop Huntington, of
tliis diocese. I leavo historians and
eerleisiHts t tlietr endless words, and assert
2rliat tl:e ptkr in spirit who eeek comfort and
I ' j '
suit i 'yf ' ' ' i
fAlvallnn throueh the oflices of the Eplwopal i
itiun n are as well oil In her as they can be in
ny Church.
4. The Episcopal Chnrch Is excellent in her
rrovlelons for Christian education and pious
drill.
i;hnrt'hcs that avowedly receive very young
Infants as members mutt neccarlly provide
education for these accepted children. Accord
ingly the Episcopal Chnrch is characteristically
ft Chnrch lorthe training of children, Just as
some sister Churches are cbaractcrUtioally
revival Churchea for the conversion of
piown folk. In the Prayer Book and Church
Almanac you find the Christian year divided
into periods separated by high-days
monuments and memorials of Christian story.
This Christian calondar agrees very nearly
with that of the Roman Church, And he is an
unusually wsll-informed Christian who can read
over this catalogue of days, and in few words
tell the story that each day celebrates! But a
birthright chnrchman wio has been quietly
trained in a church home for fifteen years will
need very little teaching more In connection
with this calendar is a system of lessons in fol
lowing which the reader is led through the
entire Bible each year, and through its more
profitable parts, monthly or oftener. He who
for years has been a churchman, and yet re
mains Ill-grounded in Scripture, shows hlmsolf
an unworthy son of a very faithful mother.
SUMMARY OF CntRCH NKW8. '
EPISCOPAL.
The new Episcopal church at West Chester,
jnst completed, cost about fliS.COO.
The "Churchman's Year Book" contains
the names of 61 Episcopal bishops and 2541
clergymen.
Bishop Davis, of South Carolina, is totally
blind. He performs the oflices of the church
from memory.
On the 24th ult, Rev. John Xfurray Forbes,
D. V., was installed as Dean of the General
Theological Seminary in New York.
On the 22d of February Washington's Fare
well Address was read in Trinity Church, New
York. It is not in the Prayer-book.
The Episcopalians have a "Clergyman's Mu
tual Insurance League," numbering 5'J'J mem
bers. On the death of any member his brethren
each send two dollars to the heirs. The second
death lately occurred, and the entire amount
was forwarded within a month.
The American Churchman, ot Chicago,
notices "with regret" that an Episcopal "Home"
in Milwaukee is down for $500 In the list of ap
propriations by the "charitable" committee of
the Wisconsin Legislature. It believes that
Romanism onght to have a monopoly of this
sort of thing.
The Episcopalians now have associations
organized to represent every shade of opinion.
The Latimer Association represents the Revi
sionists, the Church Union the Ritualists, the
Evangelical Catholic Union the Moderate Low
Church party, and the Conservative Church
Union the Moderate High-Churchmen.
Rev. Mr. Bellew, an Episcopal clergyman of
England, has produced Hamlet in St. George's
Hall, London, with fine scenery and costumes,
but with silent pantomimic actors. Mr. Bellew
doss all the speaking, and his powers as an actor
are much commended: bat complaint is to be
made to the bishop against him. He is the man
who trained Fechter.the English player of "Ham
let," now in this country.
Bishop Temple has made a long statement
in the Upper House of Convocation, in which
he defends his position in taking part In the
"Essays and Reviews." He "retracts nothing."
He "condemns nothing." In future editions
his essay will appear as bv Frederick Temple,
and not as by the Bishop of Exeter. The Bishop
of Gloucester writes to the Times that his speech
received the only answer that could be given
"sorrowful and rebukefnl silence." He and
others are now "distressed and shocked beyond
words." Instead of peace, there can now only
be, at least tor the present, "continued aouot
and estrangement."
In Mobile, Rev. Dr. Pierce was recently
consecrated as Missionary Bishop of Arkansas.
The Mobile Eegister gives a full account of the
proceedings, which were of a somewhat novel
character. "All the reverend and right reverend
personages were in the full canonicals of their
respective orders, several of them being distin
guished by their hoods." The Bishops of Missis
sippi and Illinois appeared in the role of Doctors
ot Divinity, with scarlet hoods, lined with black;
Bishop Quintard was a Doctor of Laws of the
University of Cambridge, with a scarlet and
pink hood, while two Masters of Art of Oxford
and Cambridge wore the plainer black and white.
The services gave much satisfaction to the crowd
of spectators, and to Bishop Young, who had
"efficiently, patiently, and dexterously managed"
the arrangements for the ceremonial.
PBBSBTTBBIAK.
The Rev. William Fulton, of Indiana, in this
State, has received a unanimous call to the
Fourth United Presbyterian Church of Allegheny
ine New rrovwence cnuren in KocKbridge
eounty, Virginia, has had but three pastors in
one hundred years. It was served for seventy
five years by the Rev. Samuel Brown and his
son-in-law, the Rev. James Morrison.
.. ..
IheKev. J. J. Bullock, v. D.. now pastor
of Franklin Street Presbyterian Church, Balti
more, Maryland, has received and accepted a
can to tue rresDytcnan church in Alexandria,
Virginia.
The Second United Presbyterian Church of
Pittsburg, contributed something over four
thousand dollars for the cause of missions.
This is said to be the largest sum reported from
any church of this body in that city.
The Cumberland Presbyterians are intro
ducing the custom of licensing colored preach
ers to preach "among people of their own
color." The Cumberland Presbyterian de
nounces the practice as unchristian and un
authorized by the Bible, Confession, or form of
government.
The Presbyterians expect soon to have a
college in Iowa. Already $50,000 is waiting for
the purpose, and it is understood that either
Des Moines, Marshalltown, or Cedar Rapids will
raise $100,000 more for the purpose of securing
the location.
The Presbyterians of San Francisco have
been holding enthusiastic meetings to promote
the subject of church extension. The city com
mittee report that the Philadelphia method of
planting churches should be adopted, while the
New York method of establishing missions as
feeders to the parent church is characterized as
impolitic as well as selfish.
METHODIST.
The ladies' movement to pay the $00,000
debt of the Metropolitan Methodist Church,
Washington citv, D. C, has resulted already In
the receipt of $10,000.
The Methodists In New York report 182,955
members, of whom 150,877 are In full member
ship. The Presbvteriuns have 1011,303 members,
the Baptists 00,703, the Episcopalians 03,047, and
the Congregationallsts 25,448. During the last
nine years Methodism In this State has increased
ten per cent. In membership, twenty-three per
tent in churches, fifty-one per cent. In parson
ages, five per cent, in Sabbath-Schools, fifteen
percent, iu Sunday-school teachers, thirty-seven
per cent, in Sunday-school scholars, one nun

The New Orleans Christian Advocate pub
lish cs In full what purports to be the constitu
t'ou of an American Independent Catholic
Cl'iirch. It Is not explained how this document
came into its possession; but It vouches for It as
genuine nnd as Issued by 47 regular American
t utliolic priests. The most salient points about
it are that the Pope is not recognized as supremo,
but only es primus inter pares; that confession
and celibacv, though good and excellent in
themselves, "are not obligatory; that no monastic
vow shall be made for over five years, though it
may be repeated ad libitum; and that the effort
be made to "harmonize, as far as possible, with
ail Christian denominations, especially with
the Catholics of the old rite and the momburs
. of the Episcopal Church," with whom they are
I at one, except in some "few insignificant rites."
, The temalulng articles are mainly devoted to
checking Uie extreme power of bishops over the
pricfthood and the laity. There Is no chunge
propound fuitlier than this In doctrine or wor
ship; but thin Is so great as almost to raise the
doubt whether the elaborate articles, 53 In num
ber, which the Advora'f prints are not spurious.
It seems almost Incredible that 45 regular priests
could have ventured to sign 'such a revolution
ary document, which would consign them to
ironiediato excommunication, especially when
an attack on Blphop McQuald, signed anony
mously "Many Prlesls," was Immediately de
nonnsed by every priest in the diocese. But
we are assured by the gontlemen In this city to
whom inqnrles are referred that It Is genuine,
and emanates from priests of the South.
CATHOLIC.
While the Italian Kingdom, with a popula
tion of 24,000,000, is represented in the CEcuine
Dical Council by 133 members, and the Papal
States, with ft population of 700,000, by 143,
France is represented by only 84 members,
Austria by 48, the Germanic Confederation by
19, treat Britain by 85, and the United States
by 48. The Italian members of the council, in
fact, form considerably more than ft third of
the whole. .
The Romanist influence in Missouri a few
days ago pushed ft bill through the lower house
of the Legislature, giving parochial schools $10
from the public school money for every puplL
On reconsideration, the bill was lost.
The Pope, unable to find an American saint
to canonize, has Just beatified Giovanni Anclna,
who was once ft priest connected with the
church which Is now occupied a the American
College at Rome. ,
MORAVIAN. '
The Moravians of the United States are di
vided into two provinces, one in the Northern
and the other in the Southern States. The
statistics of the Northern Province have Just been
published, from which we learn that It contains
but 62 churches, having 6970 communicants Can
increase of 290), 893 non-sommunlcanU, 8010
children, and 6494 Sabbath School scholars.
The largest church, that at Bethlehem,
Pa., has 1012 communicants, and at
Hope, Ind., Naaarcth, Pa., and Philadelphia
there are churches with between 250
and SK10 members each. Their ministers number
43. The 8outLern Province is much smaller,
having 1059 communicants and 635 children and
tber members. The British Province contained
In 1868 3280 communicants and ft total of
6448 souls. The German Province, in the same
year, 4895 communicants and a total of 7270
souls. It will then be seen that the North Pro
vince of the United States is the largest In the
Moravian community, and that their total num
ber of communicants, exclusive of those in their
missions, which far outnumber thoBe at home,
Is but 10,004, which is less than tho number of
Congregationallsts In New Hampshire or Illinois.
BAPTIST.
The Baptists have church extension com
mittees in Borne of our large cities. Within a
little more than four years the St. Louis com
mlttco has received nearly $54,000, and the
membership of the churches has been increased
from 900 to nearly 1500.
Mr. Hiram Woods, of Baltimore, has re
cently given $16,000 to the building of the new
Baptist church in that city. He was also donor
of tho lot. worth $80,000.
The Bapttots of Sulphur Springs, Missouri,
have been enabled to purchase the Presbyterian
bouse of worship, by a loan from the Church
Edifice Fund, New York.
The Chancellor of New Jersey, in the case
of a Baptist church, has decided that the trus
tees of a Boclety have no right to close the
church against the minister and congregation
when they wish to use it for purposes of wor
ship. The Baptist statistics of Michigan, just
issued, show 271 churches a gain of 23. There
are 18.312 members a gain of 1250. There are
248 minister, and but 20 of the pastors have
been settled over three years, while 47 have
begun their third year. The practice, if not the
theory, of itinerancy prevails. The endow
ment of Kalamazoo College has been increased
about $30,000 during the year. ;
. LUTHERAN.
Of Lutheran periodicals in this country
there are nine printed In the English, fifteen in
German, two in Norwegian, and two in the
Swedish language. t
According to the Lutheran Ahnanao for
1870, there are in this country, of Evangelical
Lutherans, 51 synods, 1933 ministers, 3417
churches, and 387,746 communicants. I
Rev. G. F. G. Yaeger, of the Synod of Penn
sylvania, states in the Zeilschrift that he has
recently celebrated his jubilee in Frledensklrche,
which he bas served fifty years and seven
months (1819-69). He Is still able to preach to
six churches. He tells us that in these fifty
years be has baptized 6252, confirmed 35S3,
buried 2451, married 1205. ;
COMGKBGATIONAL.
The two hundredth anniversary of the or
ganization of the South Congregational Church,
in Hartford, Conn., was celebrated on Tuesday,
February 22.
Rev. Dr. Wallace, of the Third Church,
Manchester, N. H., recently preached a sermon
reviewing his thirty years' pastorate, and among
other changes of time noticed the fact that not
one pastor that officiated at his installation is
now in charge of a chnrch. He is the third
pastor in age ia the State, Rev. Dr. Tobey, of
Durham, being the oldest, and Rev. E. Buxton,
of Webster, the second.
The First Church, Newton, Mass., Rev. D.
L. Furber, pastor, having remodelled and greatly
enlarged their house of worship, dedicatory
services were held January 18. This Church
was organized Jnly 80, 1604, and the present is
the fifth house of worship. They nave had
eight pastors, of whom four served, respectively,
47 years, 42, 40, and 22; the present pastor was
installed over the church 22 years ago.
