Ministers’ Meating in Ghicago. EPISCOPALIANS. DR. SEYMOUR. TAN NIV, M0, STLLIVAN'S HISTORY OF TR SEORCT BESHION. Tho Rov. Edward Bullivan delivered an sa- dress in Trinity Episcopal Church last ovening on * Tho Truo History of tho Secrot Session of thie Recent Nationnl Epiacopel Convention at Now TYork.” Thore was a larga attendanco, aud great Juterest was monifested in tho discourso, . The speaker said tlnt, in apnouncing his sub- Ject, ho hoped he would not bo nnderstood by usiny the word ** truo™ ae being about to impugn any history of tho sccrot sesslon already pub- Jisbed fn Chicago. Tt was meant simply to con- trovort statemonts that have beon wmado in othor quartera on MATTERS PEOSONAT, TO HIMSELF. Some of theso statements lad been brought before tho Convention, and he had had to oxplain bis position. It bad, for example, been asscrted that he hed voted for himaelf for Bishop in tho Diocesau Couvention. Ko did not vote for him- eall in that Conveoution. Ho voted for hia frieud Dr. Huntigton, of Msssuchuseits, Ho beld ‘that uny man voting for himeclf under such cir- cumstancos was unworthy of the Eplacopato That chargo was, therefore, disposed of. It hnd olwo beon oharged that he had pledged himeelf to voto for Dr. Boymour in the Nationsl Convontion, That statemont wase untrue. Ie pover took auy euch pledge, bub indignantly spurncd . proposition that ho should take it. ‘In fact, bo had said that ho held bimself to bo a freo agents thot, if on rosching New York he found that Mr. Soymour was a Rituslist, Lo ‘would not support him. It was also charged that ho hnd been JHFLUENCED DY PEISONAL FEELING sgainst Dr. Seymour, on account of Lis own defeat for tho Eplscopate of Itiinois. If that wero irue, it would, he admitted, place him fn & very mean position. Ilo never had Dbeeun a candidato for tho ofiico in tho proper seueo of the word. ‘The malter did not troublo him for & momoent, because he Liad nover bud auy ambition for tho oftico of Dighop, Ho Lad seen Dr, Boymour but onco ; that wug when Le waa iu New York, when he voluntarily visited tho Bishop-olect for the purposo of telling him that he had voted against him in Illinols, Dr. Boymour received him most courteously, but re~ fugied o give any oxplanation of his position, .. It hndalso been chiarged that he had, ju cou- ‘junction with two or thres New York clergymon, Prevailed upon the National Convention to GO INTO BECHET BESSION. Verily, the partios who chnrlsed this gave him credit for great powors of peranasion. The fact was that there was a standing rulo that when tho mattor of discussing o Bishop-elect came up the segeion should be beld with closed doors. This rulo was enforced in Now York, snd, ko for from working for it, ho had actaslly fought sgainst it when first proposed. A good deal had also beon suid of OEDTAIN DOCUMENTS which he bad in his posscssion. o held those documonts i his hand. It was charged that the papers were prepared in Now Yorik, and did not Tepresent the feolings of clorgymen in Chicago ut sll. Ho begged leavo 10 deny all that, The preparation of the papers’ had mnot boen commenced whon ho loft for Now York. They were petitions relative to Dr. Seymour, and b0 had only to say that they wero propared in Chicago, cirenlated in Chicego, and belunged to Chicago, There would have boen a much largor array of signatures had thoro ‘been timo, Ho read the potition, signed by sov- oral mombera of tho Illinois Diocesan Conivon- iion, which found fault with the nomination of Dr. Beymour, and requested that o caroful sud impartial _ juvestigation be made a8 to whothor Dr, Soymour as in full sympathy with tho Protestant Episcopal COburch of the Unitod States, The other peti- tion was of a similar nature. The National Con- vention complied with tho requests, and, for ¢1§m daya, gavo its timo to the investigation. tavas alao stated that tho petitions were got- ton up oo the Board of Trado, whoreas thero was only one man of that body who migued, and bo could only be -found therc. That was all that thore was to that particular chargo. A GBEAT OFFENSE, it scomed, had been committed by him in refus iug to show the documents to the Standing Com- tec, Horefused io do o, and, nnder similar circumstonces, he would do so again. For cight days, 8o far pa that Committes Was concerned, he wns obliged to stand alone and bear tho brunt of the opposition. TFurthermors, it was_ megorted that, by rofusiog, ~ ho insulted the dignity of the government of tho diocese. The Standing Committee was not in Now York in olicial capacity, and, tberofore, they had no right to demand an inspsction of tho docoments. THE REFUSAL OF DR, SEYXOUR togive him suy statomont compelied him to ley himself out to find such evidonco as kLo could. He did set to work conecieutiousty to discover the antecedonts of Dr. Boymour as re- garded the charges of Ritualism and of tolora. tion of heresy :Eniuzt nim.

Apother important change was the introduc- tion into tho Comnmuujon oftice of swhat 1a called the Invacation, takon from the Commuuion ofiice of lhuScnltiuhEplunoer Church. Thisarossin tho followiug way: ~ No Biskops wore consecrated in this_country bolore tho Revolution, and aftor tlio Rovolution an attempito got the consccrn- tion of Lishopsa from England tariled, and Bam- uel Seabucy, the fiest Bialiap of Conuecticut, ol tained his coneeciation from the Heottish Episcopal Church, Gubsoquently, the Church in this conntry socured thio consecration of throo Bishops fromthe Clhureh of Englaud, It was noceasary to barmonize tho rolations of tho representativos of tho Beoteh Episcopal Church on the one hond, and the rop- resentatives of tho Engliah Church on the othor, and the resuls of tho effort to do this was tho introduetion of tho Invoeation from tho Hcotch Church, Tho Invocation gives s higher sucra~ mentarian character td the oflico than it Lins in tho Chucch of England, Itis to bo noted that tho diroctions in tho presené Prayer-Book, for the Inying ot hands upon tho bread andupon the vessel contaiping the wine in tho prayer of conscera- tion, seem to bmply that thoy aro tho vehicte of npecial gracg, and thav boforo the timo of the rovimon of 1662 there wova no directions of the sort lu the prayor of consccration, Iu_tho establishment of {he Protostant Epts- copal Chureh in this country, tho Promise of Conformity was mado much” more genoral and loss stringent in ite terms than the Promise in use in the Church of England at that timo. Tha purposo of tho chaogo was to roquico lose rigid Conformity, With rogard to tho prosont atato of fecling in tho Olinrch concorning chango in tho Prayer-Book, it may be stated that therois s largo school in the Church which finds dificulty in the Inaguago of tho Baptismal Office, and thinks that it should bo rovised.

While somo Church- men do not think that tho * shall » in therubric, “1Phen sball the ministor say,” is actually tm- porative, they desito that it should bo changed to “‘may " 28 has Imoufixmpnsad, and tho miuls- ter be Jeft wholly st lUberty to omit the words which soom to declare absolutely tie gpiritual regoneration of infants, ¢ Seoing now, deasly bo~ Joved, that this child isregenerato und grafted into the hody of Chriat's Chureh,” and the oz- jrossion in tho Phanlsgiving, "It hath pleased hes to regonorato this iufant with the HolySpir- it.”* The present stroug tendoney in the Church toward concoesion to tho consclentious ditti- culties felt by many coneorning tins part of ths Prayer-Book i3 expocted to result in o sort of tacit understanding in the Church that thoso who omit these oxpresgions in the Baptismnal Office will not be prococded agaiust for doing so; but it is not considered vory probablo tust any changes will bo made in tho Frayer-Book for th raliof of these consciontious dificnlties in A time of 80 much oxcitomont aud controversy, It is mot unlikely, however, that when circum- stances are more favorable, and thero 18 less hieat in discussion and loss prouounced diffor~ ence in position, on attompt nisy bo made to en- rich the Prayer-Book us to provide for more variod gervicos, but it is thought that in the resent condition of things sueh an attempt s Enrdl,r desirable, aud it is assorted that thero 18 o sirong fecling in tho Cuurch that any material c¢hanges in the Pngor-noak should bo mado only in connection with tho other branches of the Anglican Communion. & —— HINISTERIAL ASSOCIATIONS.

Ono of tho tirst things uncossary to bring 1t about was for ministers to be iudividually right bofore God. It was notice- able in the differont revivale In this conntry and in Scotland aud frolaud thot thora naver had boen so remarkablo n unity of the mimster; thoy snuk, for tho timo boing, rll denomination- ol differcnces, and concord abd harmouy pro- valled. Thore was no disguising tho fack that tho Preabytory had been divided, but, perhaps, noone was ublo to sland up and say that ho could conscientionsly take back auy word epoken or act douo. Ho was, on his part, sousibio of one thing, sud that was, that though thoro might havo been specifio errors which thoy wora called upon to ronuducw, aud they wmight still feol compelled to hold to their positions, thuy ought to usk whether that epudl which cawmo from_abundant prayer had charactorized the proeoedings.

Mr. Thompson gave an account of the rovival in Cincinuati brought ahout by Mr, Ilammond. Mr. Van Doron advocated fasting and prayor, :‘n tho groatest rovivals had always followed iem, Mr, Drobaton bolfoved that somo revivala wore spurious, and that thoy had not beou tho * prod- uet” of the 8pirit of God. 1t was not necessary to send for Loreigu holp to got up an awakoning in Chteagn ; it conld be dono by prayer, if the nombers of the Church would pray for the influ- enco of the 8pisit.

The application of tho Chicago & Northwest- era Railway Company for an iojunction to re- sirain the Chicago & Pacific Railrond: Company from crossing their truck st grade about 4 milog west of Elgin, wag set for hoaring this morn- ing, but, being election day, the Court was not disposed to hear it. Thursday has been puggent- ed for the heaving of tho motion, Tho case dif- fera materially from the recent ichigan Central and Baltimore & Obio case, to which it bay been compared. Tho location of the proposed croteing is n the midst of tho hoaviest grade on tho Northwostern Rallway between Clicago sud DBelvidere,—ubout 24 foot to the mile,— and iz &t o point where the roud makes a eharp curve, and rous thvough ndeep cut of sume 804 or 1,000 foat in length. Ono objection is, that, being compellod by law to alop at oot crosyingat grudo, the cont of trapsportation would be increuscd, becauso the same power that now just carries u heuvy train over tus grade would not bo able to huul up the same number of londod cars woro the train to bo stopped i the midst of tho asceut at tho erossing, Another ubjection 18, that, on accounc of the long, deep cut, it wounld bo impossible from o train coming esst or the Northwostera Road to observe su approaching train from elther directiou on the Cbicago & Pacifio Road. To make this still plainer, it may be added that tho located Vacitie Road, after running purailel with and close slongside of the Northwestern for & considorablo distance, talies a sliarp curve, ond thus at the crossing foyms an acuto angle, Tuose and other objcetions haviug occurred gome time ago, the mauagors agreed to Lave their respective Chiof Eugiueers ron another line to sccure a beitor crossing, ‘'Ihis wau done, und their yeport, locating tho orossing ot the docp cut before mentioned, whore it conld be earried over tho Northwontoru uban elovation, waa duly signed by the Engineers, It is clnimoed that this olevatod crossing could he mado ut lesn thisu onc-quarter the amount tho crousing at grado at tho point indicated would dantugo tho Northwestern, I'ho suit is brought in the United States Court on bohale of tie Chicugo & Northwosiern Railway Company of ‘Wisconsin, whose intorests in tho through line from Chicsgo to LaCrosse, vin Bolvidore, it is eflirmed, ure endsngored by tbe propoaod crossing. 1t will b iuteresting to soe whathor tho United Siutes Court will take Jurisdiction, THR DALTIIORE a4 OHIO.
