called
EPISCOPALIANS.
In this city there are four kinds of
churches that have bishops, and thero
foro may call themselves Kpiscopal.
Komnn f.piscopol.
Protestant Kpiscopul.
Methodist Kpincopal.
American Methodist Episcopal Zion.
Hut only one of theso is generally
known as Ihe Episcopal church via :
tho I K. church represented in this
cily by two parishes und a mission.
1 lie f.niscopul church in America is
in fact a continuation of the Church
in England. As gardncrs lay down
a branch of a vine and stako it fast
and cover it till ittukos root, and then
cut it off and leave it to grow by ilt
own roots; so. tho Episcopal church
in this land was a branch or the
church of England which was laid
down and rooted : and by our rovolu
tionary war, was cut off to grow ever
since with roots ot us own.
Tho church in America differs from
tho church of England in those mat
ters chiefly that must needs havo been
chunged because these States caused
to bo colonics and became a nation
with differing political constitutions.
Instead of King, the churchman in
America says President; for Parlia
ment, Congress; he needs a prayer
quito new for his Legislature and Gov
ernor, for in England there were none
such. But be drops all mention ol the
gunpowder plot, the martyrdom of
Charles I, the accession and happy
reign of our sovereign lady, tjuccn
Victoria, and all other strictly English
events.
The American churchman omils,
loo, the Alhannaian creed which in
long and true, but has a dry and funny
raUlo to it that makes irreverent peo
ple smile.
Of all protectant churches the Epis
copal best deserves tho name, lie-
formed. Sho preserves so many of
tho usages ard excellencies of the
Itomun church, nnd so few of her er
rors that it is quite easy to perceive
that she is n reformed church. All
other protcstant chiirchos seem revo
lutionary rather than reformed.
Tho reformation in England wss
moro than two hundred years long.
There were no voleanio convulsions;
no one brilliant I'ourlh of July day
in which 'the great reform was pro
claimed. Nor was the reformation
purely and disinlereiledly religious.
When tho Pope (Urban V. 1:!(5)
demanded Inrgo sums of money, in
payment of tribute long in arrear,
Parliament gave willing car lo the
reformer Wicklifle, who denied the
authority of Korjie, and so excused
the nation from paying its debt.
Afterwards (1380,) this same great
man finished a translation of tbo latin
biblo into English 1 He wrotfl tracts

teaching and preaching the truth and
the authority of holy scripture
Thus, one hundred and fifty years
beforo Luther was beard of as a revo
lutionary reformer, (lolfi) tho leaven
of biblo-rcnding and privato thinking
was al work among the English peo
ple. But the church in England was still
Roman Catholic, notwithstanding ,e
work thnt wns going on among the

was perhaps the criitcH of the Enlinli
reformation. Kinff Henry was n man
not unlike fumoint, Kin jlaviil in liin
love of women, his tempcHluoas piety
and intermittent connciousncss. lie
was a many-sided, largo patterned
man a riddle to all small eyed writers
of history.
This curious King, having married
his brother's widow by spociul per
miiwion of the church, by and by ap
plied to that sumo churvli te dwolnro
the marriage unlawful; and when the
blhliop uf Home would not grant tho
required divorce, Henry, tlio head
strong and hearly, declared it himself,
married again, laughed at his own
excommunication, caused himself to
be proclaimed supreme head ol tho
church of Knglund, and to prove that
in all theso steps ho was quito right,
he cut oft any man's Load who should
dispute or deny llio same e.g. (Sir
Thomas Mooro, (1531.)
Thus then we come to a church in
dependent of Home, but not yet
reformed. Tho biblo was in niuny
churches. Yet men, not a few, were
nluin lor reading it and taking it.
Among these, William Tyndulo do
serves our mention ; for he translated
the new Testament into lelicilous
English and published much wise
doctrine, in consequence of which bo
was duly strangled and burned.
The King multiplied bibles but cut
off bible readers.
Aller Henry and his stormy ways
came pious and gcullo Edward VI to a strength to the tried and a chaslcn
the throne, and at onco the flower of ing to the wot Idly minded :
reform began to blossom, and the To bo marriod, by an authority be-
church to siiow luo leutures which she i
wears today.
The English biblo was read by les
sons at morning nnd evening service
as new. Tiio Liturgy was translated
nnd said in English. The creed of
tho church was packed in forty-two
articles, nflerwurda reduced to the
famous thirty-nino. Accordingly both
the bread and wino were given to the
common peoplo at tho sacrament.
And other reforms and purifying
were set afoot.
Edward's reign was a short one
(l.r)17-oi) ; long enough to introduce
these changes, yet short enough to
keep the Protestants from getting too
much headway.
After him came tho pious but
gloomy and unhappy (jiu-en Marj-,
who strove to brimr the realm of Eng
land back to ltome. She caused per
unsivo fires to bo kindled for the good
or dieBcmii auuls. She di -nui no
could i but sho could not undo the
reformation. Parliament and tho
peoplo were too much for her. liul
her opposition kept the reformers
from running into extravagance and
cruelty.
After Mary camo Elizabeth, who
caused Koinnn Catholics at one ex
treme and Puritans al tho other to
fuel her scorn and suffer fines, impris
onment and death.
Then came James I of England, by
whose order our present liiblo tra
prepared and printed and authorised.
And thus from reign to reign the
church of England came down, acqui
ring liltlu by little, her present shape,
and laying off tho corruption and un
reason ot tlio Jtimiun church as then
existing and adminibtcrcd in that
rudo age.
Tho prayer book may bo called sub
stantially complete as we now have
it, in the seventeenth century, (lfi'il.)
Thus this reformed church of England
filled up nearly three hundred years
in her work of purifying and simplify,
iug. And ol all Prolealant elm relics,
therefore, sho best deserves the name
Ueformed.
In this country, the Erst pnrinh of
this church was probably that in
Jamestown, Va. (100C-8.) lown to
tho Revolutionary war, tho church in
this land was under tho caro of Ihe
Bishop of London.
Shortly after the revolution, an ap
plication wss made to Parliament to
allow on American bishop to be con
secrated. But the Puritans and
Presbyterians opposed tho proposi
tions, and so Mr. f calory, the candi
date, hud to put up wilh a second rale
consecration at the hands ot certain
Scotch bishops. But at Inst, in 1707,
Parliament allowed tho Archbishop
of Canterbury to consorrnlo thrco
regular, first class bishops for New
York, Pennsylvania and Yirginin
respectively. Since then the holy
unction tins not been allowed to fail.
With pious care, it hos been propaga
ted. And tho Episcopal Church in
theso United States stands tn-dav as
truly and rrgulatly in tho lino of
Apostoliu succession, as tho Church
of England herself.
After this mcro outline of her his
tory, it remains that I note some of
her excellent uses and bcaulies.
1. The Episcopal Church offers for
our uso the most venerable liturgy in
the English tongue. The devotional
treasures cf tho Roman Catholic
Church are embalmed and buried in
Latin. But in English, there aro no
lessons, gospels, psalms, collects, con
fessions, thanksgivings, prayers in
ono word, no religious form book that
can stand a moment in comparison
with the prayer book of the Episco
pal Church in Ihe two fold quality of
richness and ago.
Tho propor name, hoeniiso truly de
scriptive, for this church, would be
church of the prayer book. As is the
way with all other churches, so here
the church champions nnd leader
have many wiso things to say about
the church and her prerogative. Hut
t lie pious mullitnde Inst frequent her
couils aro drawn thither mostly by
love or tho prayers and praises, the
lilanics and Ihe lessons ol the prayer
book.
A d, hrclht-rn of every name, I cer
tify ynu that yon rarely hear In any
church a prayer hook spoken in Eng
lish, thut is not indebted lo this prayer
hook lor sotno ol lis choicest periods.
And further ; I doubt whether lile
has in store for any one of you an up-Jdnr n;;rpc vory nearly wilh thnt of
lift so high, or doeTniall so deep, biil'th Roman church. And b is an
NOT MEN.
OooU Lor.l, deliver us,
As a conBcquenco of tho prayer
hook and its use I note :
2. Tlio Kpixcopul church preserve"
a vory high grade of dignity, decency,
property and permanence in all her
public ollicos.
In Hourly every newspaper you
may n ad some funny story based up
on the ignorance or eccentricity or
blasphemous fumiliaritv of some ex
Un.-riMDa; praywr-mnker. - A II of
you here present have been at some
lime shocked or bored by public de
votional performances. Nothing o(
this sort over occurs in the Kpiscopal
church. All things aro done and
spoken decently and in order.
And so, too, of performance and
its accumulating worth of holy as
sociation, no transient observer csn
adequately value this treasure of birth
right churchmen.
To bo UNing today the self same
words that have through the centuries
declared tho faith or made known tho
prayer of that mighty multitude, who
being now delivered from tho burden
of the flesh, are in joy and felicity:
lo bo balitised in curly uiluncy, and
never to know a time when we were
not recognized and welcome among
the millions who have entorcd by the
same door :
To bo confirmed in duo lime, in a
faith that has sustained a noble army
of confessors, approving its worlh
through persecutions and proxpcrilios
loro which kings and pensunts bow-
aliko, asking benediction upon tho
covenant that w ithout respect of per
sons binds up tho same words of duty
tho highest and the lowest :

HJIE "creek eaileoad bill.
The principal railroad bill passed at
tho present session or the ronnsylva
nia Legislature is invested with this
important character it completes and
consolidates the Central railroad sva-
tern of tho Stntc, secures to the an
thracite coal region a nearer outlet
ronlc to the Northwest, ono indepen
dent ol the New Y'ork roads, and pro
vides for Erie, aa the Lnke Harbor of
the State, an abundance of return
freight to invito the Inuding of the
Western grain there, as well as at
Hiiffulo, nnd its transportation over
our Stale lines to tho 1 -astern markets,
and especially to Philadelphia.
The whole policy of the bill may be
expressed thus: to concentrate the
best conls of the Slato at Erie and
Buffalo, by carriage over Pennsylva
nia railroads, and to re tarn tho car
over tho samo roads filled with the
produce of tho West.
To show how this policy holds good
it i necessary to explain three points :
first, the modo in which Ihe anthracite
coals nl present reach Lake Erio;
secondly, llio seclusion of ihe great
central bituminous area of Jefferson
and ("Iparfiehl counties; and thirdly,
Ihe difficulties, to he removed when
this bill goes into effect, now in the
way of supplying Erio wilh the bitu
minous coals of the Allegheny and
Monongahela river regions.

CiinnnJiiiijua is at present llio point
upon tho New York Central for re
ceiving the Pennsylvania coal, w hieh
come from Elniiru nnd Williamsport,
over the almost straight, due North
and South, through line of our North,
crn Central Uuilroud, which receives
tho Wilkesbarro basin coa's (descend
ing tho 2orth Branch Susquehniina)
at Milton, above Sunhiiry, nnd the
anthracites of the Schuylkill county
basins from Shumokin, Ashlund and
Pottsvillo.
Cnnnnduigua is therefore tho depot
of Pennsylvania in tlio heart of New
York. To Cnnnnduigua tho anthrn-
cites go over narrow gatigo roads, en-
virciy coniroiicu in I eluyivsnm. J lie
ronto from flchnylkltl county, via
Williamsport and Elmira, to Cunan
dnigua is, at present tho shortest; is
weil organized ; is under Pennsylva
nia direction ; and delivers eoul in
Buffalo, for the great West, in compe
tition with tho Sunbury and Erie
line, delivering t lie sr.mo anthracites,
for the same Lako Trade, in Erio.
Conandaigun, however, is too near
Buffalo to please tho New York Cen
tral Company, w hich can now only
collect tolls for anthracite (going
West) over loss thnn ono third of its
lino of road. The New York Central
would like to shilt this coal point
from Cunanduigua (tho end ol' the
Northern Central Jiailroad of Penn
sylvania) to Auburn, 40 miles further
cast, to Syracuse, CO miles further
cast, or even to Ulica, 100 miles fur
ther east ; points at which connections
with our anthracite basins wilt, in a
year or two, be completely mudu; viz :
via Auburn, Ithicu and Owcgo (now
in progress); via Syracuse and lling
hainton (completed,); and via Ulica,
Norwich und Binghamlon (in pro
gress); the one lino being an exten
sion and connection effected by Mr.
Packer's Lehigh Valley road, up the
North Branch Susquehanna t the
other by the Delaware and Lacka
wanna Company, now muking great
efforts and laying great plms for sup
plying all tho demandfc of New York
Slate nnd its connections wilh this
indispcnslble sort of fuel.
Tho great obstacle to these connec
tions is the broad guuga of the New
York and Erie Jiailroad. The narrow
gauge Lehigh Valley, and Delaware
and i.acknwannn. have already con.
ncclcd wilh tho New York and Eric ;
they tranship their coal upon it. Tho
New Yoik Central, also, has narrow
gango branches over to the Now York
and Eric. But to mako this doublo
system available cortuin narrow gauge
connections aro atill required. When

Buffalo, via Aurora.
This is the first line which the bill
obliges the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad to guaranlco the building.
It ia already mado from Buffalo lo
Aurora. In two or three years a
s toady stream ofanthracite coal trains,
deserting the present Cannndingua
lino and ignoring Ihe existence of both
tho Now York Cenirul and the New
York and Erio altogether, will flow
across iho Potter county summit lo
tho Luke at Buffalo; while another,
similar and even larger stream will
flow along tho present Philadelphia
and Erio Railway directly to the
Lako At Erio. And tho reflux of
these two streams of trains, w ill bring
fiast Williamsporl and Harrisburg, at
east two thirds of all that portion of
tho grain tratlo of tho West which
mnkes uso of tho waters of the Lnke
and lands itself at Erie and at Buffalo.
2. But the West want iiVuiH.soiiit
coal as well as anthracite. It gel it
at present from the lake depot at
Cleveland, supplied with ils stock
chiefly from tho (Ohio) Mahoning and
Beaver river country lying along the
Pennsylvania and Ohio Suite line.
Many plans have been laid for making
Erio a depot for the coals of North
western Pennsylvania. But hero lies
the difficulty: tho coal beds of the I
