Lut thoso who wigh to got a thorough understanding of tho matter—au, for instance, tho mombors of tha appronching Diocosan Couvention of Illinois,~— wil), no doubt, think it advisablo to go to tho original documents and oxamine all tho leading* points for themselves. Tho last (No. 5) of the articles which we have thus indicoged, -although, perhaps, tho latost in publication, scoms to give us THE BTARTING-TOINT of this contraversy in Wisconsin. It glves tho origin and bistory of tho diffenlty bolween Dr. Do Koven and thio Nuehotah Faculty, which may be briefly summed up in tho following oxtracts from Dr. Adams’ pamphlot: i - vogard to the Ocnfessional, I will give & lo nnIcl;Imn. A lending Ritusiist from Jlorida, at thy General Convention of 1871, met mo one day, and rald, . "\What are you golug to do lu tis Conventlon nbout Ritwuliem?"” And, upon my saying *'Tho Ohurch will legielate, nnd enforco hicr logisiation,” he sald, 4 ¥ou way do whast you Uko; wo. will work the Cous fe:slonal, nud whore goes your Protestantiem then 7" At Nashotali wo lmg experience of thia thing. Dr, Thompso, the Professor of Oburch History, and tho writor, Profeseor of Hystowatio Divinity, found, about the date of flcse Iefters, that thero woro certnfu subjcots fu tio course of Nash. otal upon whieh It was vory diflicdt to teach a certain ctnss of students, Tho dootrines of the Eucline rist and Absolution wero of these,and, in general, all tho peculiny doctrines of tho ro-called * Advanced Party,"—tho Ritulistic, {hat is, or Romanizing party ; and tho poreons wero those sspecially who hud coma In any way under Ritualistic inflaences. . . . This Blato of matters rather dluturbed us, when at onco tha wholo matter was mado nunnifest’ by two clreum- Atances,—tho first oconrring in Dr. Thompson's class~ room, the sccond in rogard to my own brothor-in-law, Mr, 8, It, Kemper, The first was thin: A student, be- i anked by the Trofessor of Chrch History fo reclte ahout the Eucharlst, refused to dv so, on the gronnd fhat “he had been forbidden by his Confostor to dis+ curs that subject ;” and IT CAME _OUT TUAT 1118 CONFESSOR \WAS DI DE KOYEN, .+ . Tho Professor hrought tho subjecs bofor tho Paonlly, ilo consldered it inturfering with tho work hoani the ofhor Professors were to do, 4 Dr. Do Koven, Recter of Racino Village, not only ros ceiveq those students, when uuder his own pastoral curo, to Confosslon ; but, when they becamg randi- dntea for Orders, he continued his relation of Confuseor o them when they were tranyferred o Nashotuh, anid esiding there, 60 ilea from Racine, . . . ' Aud, under color of making visita aud preaching -in Nashotali Chgpel, he heard iheir Confessions at Nashotuh, within our ground, in the sse quret way, 110 id this samo thivg with other candidates who had never been students of Raciue, or under bis pastoral caro In any oy, An appoal was mado by tha Profossor to the lale Dishiop Armitago to arrcst these proceedings of Dr. De Xoven; but tho matter was by uo means disposed of nt tho time of that Prolute’s donth. It was under thoso circumstaucos that the olection for a new Dishop of Wisconsin came on, and this seoms to oxplain the great oxoite- | ment, and avon personal character, of tho con- tont as betweon Dr. Do Kovenand the Professors of Naghotah. But it was not merely tho Con- fessional that was here involved, but the wholo subjoot of Ritualiem, and more particularly THE DOOTRINE OF THY EUGHARIST, or Lord's Suppey, which is tho central point in tho Ilomnnizing tondencies of Ritualism. Dr. Adnma shows this in the Intter part of his pam- phlet, whicl is more particularly devotoed to this aint., Tho first articlo at tho Lead of onr lisf, or "l'xincllrlcs——!\'ut 3on,” waa the one which in- troduced tho violent contest of the Wisoonsin Judicial Council, aud_which, no_doub}, decidd tho contest for the Wisconsin Bpiscopate against Dr, Do Koven. The object of thig !mmpmot, . which ig rather a ciroular, conslating of only six or seven pages, is to show the difference belween the High Church parly and the Advanced Ritual- 18!, and to point out Dr. De Koven as the leader ond reprosentative man of the Ritunlistic party *in Wisconsin, Bigned by tho names ot thrqo leading Professors in Nashotah and {hreo other well-known Itectors of churches in Wikconsin, and probably sont into every {mrluh in the dio- code, it arrayed two-thirds of tho Iaity immoy- ably ngainet Dr. Do Kovon, #0 pa to mako, his cleotion impossible, Undomitanding this, he proruptly withdrow fram the contost, glthough a mojarity of one or two of tho clergy was pro- pared 0 vote iu Lis fayor. The Yilh of this artlole is found in tho folloy- ing statoment of ** TUE PRACTICAL WESULTA OF BITUALISTIO TEAOU- 150, with which it charged Dr, De Koven; 1. That the Hucharistlo Servico (Lord's-Bup- per) is to Do mesimilsted in s outward eemblanco, s much as poasible, to tho Mass culvbrated in Roman Qutholio ~ Churches, by meaus of tho eccessories of lights, music, vestments, inceuse, poetures, genuflexions, arld adoration, 2, Thiat non-recipients oro to Lo present at the En- charistio Service, for tho purposo of being Lenefted by tho sacrifice, and of direcling acta of atloration to 1bo preaouce in' the clements on thu altar, 8. That membors of the Church aro to bo per~ wuaded, a8 an_ordinary and frequent {hing, to como ta Auricular Confeenlon, and to put thofr consciencea In # holy obedienco ™ undor tle pricat’s direction, . That tho Eucharlet In to b offerod as o propitin- tory sacrifie for the livingand the dead, B, That prayees for thy doad, and tho inyacation of lofnts and augels, are to bo practicod. They had hefore statad that “le presonce of Chiriet" in the clements an the nltar, ' aftor tho consecration of the broad and wing," was ono of X tl:n (distinotivo principles of tho tituulistio party. . 1t ‘was againat thia circular more partioularly that Dr, De Kovon diracted all tho !srgn nt“l.fi; eloquouas, bis wit, and bis lesrning i the g peech which he dellvered in the Counul ho} Milwaukee Tob, 11 and 12, 187, nud of which No. 2 at ¢he head of this articlo gives tho title.
