Not disturbing things at aro quict, fo avoid discussion at any cost— fula is thio tenching which bas been nccopted from the oldest ages. T'ho normal coudition of Christian lifo is _ono of contliet. When thy Hedeomer ~ntered upon Ilia_work, Ho zec- ognized tuo fact that Ilis work waa to overtbrow Batan, Ifence Ilo eaid: #I come mot to #end peacs, but asword.,” The Gospolis God's rightconsnces, sod must always boatwar, Tho pacauism of Rome, and ita mighty faiths of ancicnt times, were to be overtbrown, I would call attention to the lkeness botweon theso old warfures and {ho recent battle waged against the Roformed Eplscopal Church, ‘Tho firat stronghold of error against which wo must fight ta tho theory of the diviue rlfiht of Bishops, Thae old Lpiscopal Church belioves that ita Bishops are tho muccessors of Christ, taking upon themeclves tha oflico of the old Apostles. Agoinst this dogma our Roformod Church {6 o protost, Against it wo lift up bub one weapon—the Word ot God, Tho dogma has no warrant in the Beriptures. Tiad tho Divine Founder instituted such an order, would Ilo not bava carefully lsid tho rolus by which its mumbers wera to be govorned? _Our Lord gave Bo t:ch suthority, Not & word is snd onthe mla:‘jont in the Now Testament, he Church of Lngland Lolds sloof from all #enominations, sunply on this ground of apos- lolio succossion. It in against this stronghold of error that tho Reformed Church strugglos, There can bo no peaco or Christian union until this strongbold is destroyed. 8t. Paul warns tho Galatlans agninst those who preach other gos- pels, Bt. John pronounzes any preacher who roachen falso doctrines Anticlulst, Iis test is 0 truth or not truth. T'rua apostolio succession Ia & continuancoe of tho Apostlos’ priviloges—that Ja s followabip with tho Sathor and the Son, From thin spriug most of tho corruptions of Christondom, ‘Tho dogma of the divino right of Dishops makes thom pricsta 1n tho sight of God ; Lhey succeed tho High-Pricet, having a sacerdo- tal armor, The justification'is Impartod in bap- tism, the nutrimeut of tho soul in the Lord's Bupper. To tho Bistop is givon tho power af giving or retaining siu,—tlo powor of absolu- tion. 'The reformation of tho sixteenth contury demolished a part of this, but muah of it was left, For thres centurics, in 1ts Anglican com- munion, haa this sacerdatal theory been retalned.
