I THE OHURCH OF EXLAND WOBTH PAESERY- ™a The above ia tha title of an article by Mr. Gladstone in the wrret number of tho Con- lemporary Review. A considerable portion of the article is dewted to a view of the coatro- versy which has been raging in the Cburch 1ately with regard b the lezality of tne *‘east- ward position™ am other questions of ritusl. Seeing, that thep are rational arguments on ‘both sides of the question, he thinks it impotitic and injurious to tie interests of religion to fas- ten on those queston significations which they do not requirs; acl, as an argument agaiost any doctrioal signiicance to the act, be observes that the act of kmeling in the act of receiving tho Holy Commundn might easily be construed into adoration of he consecrated elements, and yet the Church of Zogland bad resolutely thrust aside this extremezonstruction. He is of opin- ion that the seriesof pepal proceedings in the English Church luring the last forty yerss, which commencodwith the action of the Univer- sity of Oxford aginst Bishop Hampden, bave as a whole been nischisvous; that they have txasperated strife,and not composed it; bave tempted men to emloy a substitnte at oncs vio- leut and inefficient'or moral and men:al force ; have aggravated jerits which they were honestly intended to aver; have impawed confidence; and shaken the faric of the Church to 1ts foun- dstion. He remaks: Tae very first cozition of healthy thought and se- tion isan efort at & mastery, and the exjuision from the coutroverales conerning certain rubrics of cousid- erations which sgravue those controversies jinto hopelessness, and snich seem to dwell in them s demons dwelt in thetadies of the poseessed till they wers expelled by fe peneficent Savior, and laft the sudarers at lengtl restd-—s m,h,\*_mé ind. canuot tulfill the irst sunditfon’cl ans. 24 Bopelees to expe-t it the day of doom for the Church of England canoe long postponel. THE PELSERVATION OF THE CHURCH. Tarning tien to the main question considered in the arucly 3r. Gladsione commences by say- 1Dg: Tt is meceery firet to free tbe inquiry from a sotrce of yemwai mi understanding. In ons and the sawe budy W2 see tvoaspects, two eharucters, per- fectly distiud, That body declares berse.f, and is suppoted by Do law of the couutry to be, the ancieut 1nd CstholicCiurch of the country ; while it i also the national atablishment of on. 1In the first capacity it decives itn Lineage and commission from our Bavior and theApostles in the second, It is of- 1 ‘ered nad caatrolbd by the State. We may speak of bodiug the Caurcl together, or bolding the Church and the State togeber. I am far from placing the two dutics on she ame ground, or assiguing o them a commion elevation, Yet the subjects a%e in & certain form ciosely conneted, and the form Ly this : It may e that the continiiog ‘union of the Church withim Deraelf will not seure without Limit_the con inuing unionbf the Churh with tue State. But 1t is certain, neverthelsss, thetthe aplitting of the Church wil destroy ita wion with the State. Not on'y ‘as s Curch, but as ap _endowed estallishment, it s without doubt still very strong. Sirlobert Peel ssid, over a quarter of & century »go, in discussing the emancipation of the Jews, that the ony dungers of the Church consisted in its internal divisons, Within that quarter of a cen- tury the dangershave increased, but with them has probably incressd also the strength to bear them. Menace and peri from wi hout agaiust the Church 8 an Establishmen: have made ground, bnt are stil within me ‘represent & minor, not a major. social force, thogn they are scconded by & general movement of thetime very visible in_other countries, and apparently prrading Christendom st large, yet with 'a_currentcertainiy slow, perhaps indenitely slow. But, thowb the Courch may be possessed of a sufficient fund d st that can be safey par , thero ia no redundsucy with. Any secessiou, if of scusible smonnt,constitating itsclf into separats body, would opeate on. the Vational Church with ref- crence to its natonality like & rent o a wail, which is oiamly importat, not by tue weight of material it detaches, Lit 'by the discontinuity it leaves. The disposition of some to deay to the members of the National Cnirch the commonest Frivilegea belong- ing to a religiow community ; the delerminat.on to cancel her birtiright for meas of poLsge : e Bati- ral sbrinking ofthe better and miore reflued minds from Indecent sonflict ; the occasional exnibition of Golcism, presimption, ignorance; and contumely et indeed Televed by much geoial good seuso and g00d fecling, fmnd perhaps nct leart conspicuously among thoee wla were by _religious profession most Widely severed from the Nationl Church. But the mischief of onecan inflict wounds o 8 religous body hich the absthence and_ silent disspproval of 3 bun- dred canot has, and, unless an Eoglish spirit has departed wholy from the precincts of the Englsh Church, she wil, when the ouirage b feeling grows unendurable, & least In the persana of the most high- ‘minded smongher children, sbeplately decline the de- reiatin to whick not & few seem (o think ber Born. 1 pauss herp to consider whether It be a duty or ot to Keep tie Church nmited, with the negative as- eumption impied 1u these remacks, that, withoat such ‘union, there aunot be a reasonable hope of savisg the catablishment . _TEE CHURCH UNITED. : First of ak bo ssks : Does this union exiat ? and to this he replies in the aftirmative, aod that it i to be found— 1n the commen law, common sction, common WoT- ship, and probubly, above all, the common _ianual of worship in the Church, Though it is accompaaied with many diwrgencies of dogmatic lesruing, and though these dfferences are often prosecuted with » Jamentable biterness, yet, m tho law} the worship, and the manwil, they have s common centre to which, upon the whde, all or nescly all the members of the body are reall and strongly, though 1t may be mot uniformly no* aliogether consiatently, sttached, snd which is at otce distinctive, and in ita measure effi- cieDt, Nay, nore, it has been stated in public, snd I incline tc beleva with truth, that the rubrics of the Church are £ this moment more accurately followed than st aty penod of ber history mince tho Reformstion. This union, then, I hold to be & fact, and 1 conterd that it is a fact worth preserving. The duty of promoting unfon in religion is elevated by T cauies st the present day into a pect- tisr_solemnlly. While these causes also envelop it in an exraordinary intricacy, the religion of Christ as a whole.—nay, even the pajlid scheme of Atheism,—is asvailed with a sweep and vehemence of hostility greater probstly than at apy former period. Whiie the war thus rages without the wall, none can say that the reciprocal antagoniam of Chris- tan bodies B percoptibly mitigsted within it, or that ooy ware. Hoetsinguias of a0 the ‘resies of ware, of all, the greatest m@dnmmmhu, to ssy mothicg of the smaller, aro agitated singly and severely by the pros- €ace or proximity of mational schism. The Papal Cburch has gone to war with portions of its sdherents, —in America, in Germany, in Italy, xnd in Switzer- land,—besides being in conflict with 'the greater num- ber of Christian States, especially of those where the Roman rebigion is professed. The relstions of the Church of Englind beyond St. George's Channel, however euphemistically treated in some quarters, are dark and darkening stll. Even the immovable East is = 'onl‘c. and the Hellenic or pon- c elements are at present, though withoy et eaciatice 308 In. Mhiies Coliboaial onent 4o and s formidable schism In Bulgaria, not discounte- nanced by Russian infiuences, disturbs at its own doors the ancient and venerabla' Ses of Constantino- pleand its sister Patriarchates. Now more than ever our steps saould be wary and our heads cool, and if we should not disguise the true significance of contro- versiea, neithec should we aggravate them by pouring Cayenne pepper iuto every opened wound. While no: contending that it is the duty of each man, io circomstances hke these, to sacn- fice everything for the internal unity of bis own mmunion, Mr. Gladstone argues that when thst communion, by wanton innovation, betreys its duty and aggravates the controversies of Christendom, the very best friend to its eventnal ucity may be he who at ali hazards and to all lengths resists the revolationary change. and he earnestly urges opon all the membera of the Nationai Church that the more they stady her place and function in Christendom, the more they will find thac her upity, qualified but real, is worth preserving. Proceediug with this argn- ment, he observas that there are those who think bold changes in the law and constitution of the Church in the direction of developed Protestantism would bring within ita borders a large proportion of the people; but his own opinion 15 the reverse of this. He looks upon auy changes whatever. if serions in amount and contentious in character. as synonymous with the destruction of the National Establishment. REORGANIZING THE CHUBCH OF ENOLAND. I am quite sware of the answer which will spring to the lipa of some: * The object of the long series of ‘prosecutions, and of the ace of 1674, s to cut outa gangrene from the Church of England, and to defest a conspiracy which aims at reversng the movement dT the Reformation, and of remodeling ber teneis, ber ‘worship, and her discipline on the Lasia of the Papal Church,—aye, even with all the aggravations of her earlier system, which that Church has in the later times adopted.” But the answer o this answer is again perfectly ready: If there be within the Church of England a section of clergy or of laity which ia en- gaged in auch & conspiracy, it is one extremely, aimoat intinitesimally, small, I do not now deal with the very different charge against doctrines and practices which are said to tand toward the Church of Rome, This chargs was made against Laud by the Puritans, and 18 mads against the Prayer-Book at large by our Noncon- forming {riends, or by many of them. My point is, that thoss who sim a¢ Bomanizing the Church are, st worst, & handful. If, then, the purpose be to pat tham down, attack them (ss you think it worth while) on the pointa tbey distinctly profess and practice, But s this the course actually taken? Are these points the - bjects of the recent prosecutions, of the recent threats, of the crowd of pamplilets and volumes npon ritual con'roversy which daily issue from the press? On the contrary, these prosecutions, these menaces, these voluminous pro- ductions, bve alwasa for their main, snd often for their exclumive subject, the two points of Caurch law which relate to the position of the consecratar and to the rubric on ecclesfastical vestments. But ow we arrive at a formidablo dilemma. Upon the construc- tion of the law-gn these two points the prosecution partics are at variance—not with a handful, but with a very large number—with thoussnds and teni 0u- sands, both of the clergy and the Lty of the Chur h of England, whose averments 1 understand to be {hese : First, that the law of 1363, fairly interpreted, enjoins the Vestments of the first Prayer-Book of Ed- sward VY., and the eastward position of the consecrat- iog priest; secondly, -that it would be inequitible aud unwise to enforce theso. laws, and thirdly, be. inequitable and unwise o alter them. Are these propoeitions conclusive evidence of & conspiracy to assimilate the Reformed Teligion of England to the Papal Church? 1f they are not, why ia the war to be conducted mainly and thus P 'ly in'the region they define? 1f they are, then our kmmm is oue of wreat danger, because it is well WD that & very large and_weighity portion of the clergy, with no inconsideratle namber of the laity, ‘proveeding upon various grounds—love of ritual, love of liverty, dread of rupture—are srrayed on the side of toleration against the prosecuiisg party. It s said to have been declared Ly persons in ligh authority that a large portion of both the clergy and laity do en- tertain the desire to Romaniza the Church. I am con- viceed {t is pot 8o, but, if it be 5o, our condition is. indeed formidable, and we' are preparing to “ shoot Niagara.," For I bold it to be beyond dispute that, whether minor operations of the knife be or be not rafe for us, large excisions, large amputations, are what the constitution of the patient will not bear. Under them the Establishment will part into shreds, and even the Church may undergo abarp aud sest-h- con-equencea which as yet it would be hardly pos ible to forecast, HOW TO AYOID DANGERS TO THE CHURCH. His conviction still is, that, for the avoidance of these dangers, the best and moat effeciual remedy is to forbear to raise contentious issues, and to aim at ruling conscieuces by courts. He coutinues : It may now perbaps in some degree svpear why I have piossed th sarmmetly the severace of thess Fubri- cal suits from * doctrinal signiticance.” Could we but expel that noxious element from the debate, could we ‘but see that the two conflicting views of the position and tbe Yestments are just as capable, to say the least, of agrg and innocuous as of & specificand conten- {jouB IRterpretation, then we might hops t0 see a frams ‘of acquiéscénte’ in suy JadBARA.the litigators cavable o to be)mlv:n afier full conside <k exwic ‘noret nees there might be, and murmunag, bat good sense might yrevail, and_the mischicf would be Within narrow bounds. But, unbappily, men of no small acconnt announce that they care mot for the Bign: they must deal with the thing signified. Tley Qeaire the' negation by suthority of the doctiine of the real presence of our Lord and Savior Christ, and of the Eucharistic Sacrifice—negations which, again, are synonymous with the disruption of the-Euglish Church. The point inyolved in the ‘Eucharistic covtro- versy will, in time, he hopes, be found to be no ‘better and no worse than logomachy; but that time has not vet arrived. -and if the doctrine of the Eucharist must really be recast, there are, be sascrts, no alternativa before us except, ou the one haod, distuption, or, on the other, post- ponement of the iesue until we can appruach it under happier auspices. CHECKING AEBITRARY INNOVATIONS. Heis far, however, from complawiog of thoss who think the evils of litization ought to be en- countered 1ather than permit evea a haudrul of men to introdace into our services evideucea of a desigo to Romanize* the religion of the coun- try ; and he has slways thought that effective provision shouid be made to check sudden and Brbitrary monovation 88 auch, even when it dces ot present features of intrinsic mischief. Tins gtill appears to him a wser and a safer basia of * proceeding thsn _sn attempt to catablish & castron rale of umform obadience of s vast multitude of provisions, Bometimes obscure, sometimes obsolete, and very varwusly understood. interpreted, and ap- plisd. As s further argument agamst toe {re- ent resort fo penal proceedings, be adduces the fact that the extinction of the ?plmhla pro- essions of the civilian, now merged in the gen- :nl :zudy aud practice of the Bar. and the con- gotidation of the Courts of Probate and Admiral- v with those of Equity and Common Law, bave materially impaited the chaoces which have ‘hitherto existed of our finding in our judges of ecclesiastical causes the form of fitaess growinvg o8¢ of special sindy. He contends tuat judg- ments on questions such a8 that involved in the Purchess case must test maiuly, Dot oo judicial interpretatious, but on the reenlt of Literary aud sotiquarian research, and urges tha necessity of forther bistorical and archeological foquines s8 absoiutely necessary in order to ‘warrant snv fodgment restrictive, in whatever sense. of tho Y parent liberality of our lams snd practice. Mr. Gladston sums up a lenghty article in the fol- Iowiog propositions: 1.

The two principsl groupe of sects remaining G- e > 1o be treated are the Khlysty sod the Skoplsy. ‘Tne doctrines of these sects are the very op- ‘poeite of one another 1n many things,yet both pretend to be an improvement on the alleged material -Christianity of Russia. How well- founded this ridiculous claim is, & bare state- ment of their dogmas and practices will suffice to show. Both sects believe in a constant reve- lation of God to His creatures through the me- dium of prophets. They bold even that the Di- vinity etill becomes incarnate in men. They scorn the ides that Judea is the only nation that has witnessed God made man upon its soil, and point with a false faith to some poor viliage on the Volga, where the mystery of Bethlehem haa beeo repeatad. New Christs are continuslly re- vealing a new law to men. Ruseia is the only country in which indivdi- uals atill lay claim, occasionally, o the person- ality of God. Daniel Philipovitch, the®incar- nate God of the Khlysty, says of himselfz *I sm the God, snnounced by the prophets, come down a second time to earth for the salvation of the human race; there 15 noGod bat me."” Thia is the first of his twelve commandments. The name KAlysty means ‘“the flazellants,™ from a rea! or supposed practice of the secta- ries to lacerate their bodies. But more fre- quently the KAlysty call themaelves by &nama aignitying the *den of God.* _ Toe ongin of the *Men of God™ is involved in obscurity. It is geverally thought that they had their beginning in Russia in the middie of the seventeeath ceatury. There are those, bowever, who say that tbeir fouoder was one Kullmano, a .German, burued for her ac Moscow in 1::!:. hl\'ullmum rejected the Scrip- tares, preached the reign of the Spirit, i said, gave himeelf ont Ea the Chdupfi. e The Khlysty have their own Gospel. an mn- written one, iv beiug contrary to theit meligions principles to reduce anthing to writing. They say that woen their God descended on Russiaa soul, ore of hus first injanctions was thac nons of his teachings should be reduced to writing ; and one of bis fi:st acts was to cast all the books of the law 1nto the Volga. In ths wav heinzended to rid his people of ail wranghng over the Scrip- tures. These fanatica teach that God never revesled the true faith in Rusaia until about the time of Peter the Great. The saving doctrive came down from Heaven on Mount Gorodine in clouds of fire, brougzht by tne IFather, who theie assumed buman form.” The Ifather thus incarnate was known by the nams of Daniel Philipoviteh ; his worshipers call him also the “God Saboath.” Philipovitch begat one Ivan Timofeevitcn Souslof, of a womxu over a hun- dred years of age, whom hefore be rmcended iuto Heaven he recognized 88 gis son and as the Christ. ‘The real Chnst is always preseut among them by adoption sndsuccersion. Each genera- tiou has its own Chuist, sod even each Russian community claims its living Christ, the sucsessor of the first. In many respects limoteevit:h's Iustory 18 but a caricaturs of the Bavior’s. Thas he chose twelva aposiles, and prenched the Gos- pet of his father on the borders of the Oka. His preaching was stopped by the Czar, and he was kcourged, burned, toriared, in order to draw from him the secret of his faith. At last ho was cruafied near the holy doar of the Kremjin. He was buried on Friday aod rose 1rom the dead on the mght between the following Saturday and Sunday. ‘This parallelism betwaen the life and death of the Fouuder of fhe Chiristwn religion vas not enough for these fanatica. Timofeevitch was crucified a second time, and a secood time rose from the dead. In order to prevent a'sec- ond resurrection the skin was remmoved from his body: but, & womaa having wrapped a shroud about 1t, a new skin was formed; hermse once more from the dead, and lived in Russia for many years, after which he was united to his fatber in Heaven. “Iae Khiysty bave for more thmn a century venerated the places i which thietr incaruvate fgods were born, lived, and acted. A honse n Moscow where Philipovitch ooce resided has been always regarded by them as:a species of Santa Casa, and thither thoussads.of pilgrims flocked yeariy to do him honor. Philipovitch's twelvs commandmes:ts inculcate s very severo rule of life. Ope of dbem prohib- its the use of fermented drinks, annther assist- ing at weddings,gnd festivities. Tne oath is condemned uwudef: all circumstances, and mar- Tiage absolutely ivterdicted. The to command- | ments of thewr Dodecalogue which have contrib- ated most to the successof the sect are those which enjoin a belief in the Holv Spirit and the keeping secrel the rites of the sect. Belief in tbe Holy Spirit mesos vothing more than fath in the illosions of Jtheir imagioa- tion. The revelations of the 'secrets of the sect is forbidden enuire- ly. The commandmenis are very ex- presson this matier. **Keep thess precapta, keep them' secrot, reveal them neither to thy father nor thy mother. It they strike thea wita the. knout, if tney burn_thee witn firs, saffer without-a werd,”—such is-the order of the Do- Aasajogues. 5 (sio_are nauUOMH: rya- tares in the goiLyocal 5 Al hylsly.

The truth or untrath of the miraculons birth of Jobn and Christ depends sntirely upon the truth of those stories, and it is guite important that the Observer should not only claim that it bas the evidence of the truth of those mytho- logical tales within its reach, but also mmsjuko- Iy prodace them.

The free air of the Northwest, however, appears to be breeding a class of reformers who see 88 the fruits of the normble tmvesty of Christ's teaching, known sa modern Christianity, aland overdowing with crime, manicipal and national corruption, suicides, misery, and suffer- ing everywhers sbounding. Cansed by men, many of whom are under the iotluence of the teaching of priests who procisim toat the blool of Christ or the absolction of priests will cleanse them from all taoir sio, and who will ex- pose the corruptions of such a bastard relizion througn the pubilo press whenover they have opportanity. What the land requires is a common-aenso and matter-of-face religion and the pure and simple tesciungs of Christ—a religion that shali prove by the most 1acontcover.ible facta aud figures that honeaty in every relation of iife, is the best policy; tha: temperance 1s iucem- parabls to be preferred 1o ictemperance ; that arbitration i3 in every poesible way batter tusn suits at law; that, in sbort, the happiness of each individual ~and of the raca is ouly to. be gained by the mort careful attention to God’s invariable laws con- cerning our whole duty to oyrselves, our fami- lies, our neighbors, and the whols human fansily.
