To the Editor of The Chicars Tribune : Crrcaco, Sept. 27.—Your editorial and com- muuication tonching the union of the two lead- ing Anti-Roman Episcopal Churches in thia country evince a generous, perhaps more than a judicious, nature, They advocate an impossi- 1ility on the basis they propose. Ths lsst and most elaborato of theso papers in your yestor- day™s issue is excollent in t{emper snd full of good will. Yet— Not for all his faith can see Can we his cowled churchmen be. The roots of the Mothodist and Protestan\ Episcopal Churches, as you geclare, are un- doubtedly the ssme. Both sprang from a com- mon stock,—the Established Church of England. Both contain the essentisls of that Church in doctrines, in eacraments, in ordinations, and bave substantially the same ritual for special oc~ casions. Both look back to that fountain with equal reverence. The ethodist Episcopaliaa 13 a8 proud of Oxford as the Protestant Episcopal- ian, probably pronder. He visits ita halls and gardens with the greatost reverence. There ha traces the steps of -his great founder, under God, and notes his influence from and onlus university. With all these pointa of resemblaacy, whiy can they not unite ? For these reasons. The Methodist Episcopal Chareh will not conceds the invalidity of her ordinations, which conception would be required her by her sister churchas & prerequisite to any union. She might even claim superior ordina- tions. It is evident from this, aa it is from all the acts of that church looking in the direction of union withother churches, that the Protestant Episcopglisns will always demand that the unicn shall be%o them, and not by them ; that every chorch must accept them as their leader and mother, the source of ecclesiastical being. This is the tone throughout, though carefally guard- ed, of this communication. It is the ieyntnna of this church, its central and motive power. It would not be probable, I might always say poasi- ble, for the siscer church to accept that passing under the Caudine Forks, as a preordmation to this marriage. The union mighs be with her but not to her. You will note the weight of thia difculty, ir you consider s remark in this letter, that **the severance of the Mathodists from the Church ™ —mark the phraseology ; thers i8 uo recognition of the present charchliness of the Methodists— 1 “was ‘an unusaal thing, never contemplated by the founder of the brotherhood.” Mark, also, that last word; forin theso slight points are found the strong grounds againet anv such union S i8 in the mind of our brother, **The Method- i8ts” were pever severod ‘*from the Church,” nor was John Wesley the founder of s ** broth- erhood.” Protertant and Methodiat Episcopal Cuurches began” to be at not far from tho aame time, the Methodist Episcopal Charch being the elder. If either should be united to the othor, it ehould be the younger to the eider, unless we are to suppose the Scripture to apply Eere, that the eldershallsupply the younger, sad that is not union, but servitude. Jobn Wealey did not in- tend to gever, but to organize. the Methodist Episcopal Church. He ordained elders or pres- byters, and consecrated a Bishop who was al- ready a presbyter of the Church of England and a Doctor of Laws of Oxford. He inscructed bim to ordain and consecrate ancther person as eldsr and Bishop. He provided in his book of Saudsy service for the ordination of a Bishop under tho title of Superintendent, which is the exact synomyn of Bishop. He oatablished and set ia ordor the Church in America. He endeavored t0 eseay » similar establishment in England, but the laws of England interfered with the open ex- ecution of his plans, and after his death his reachers falled to carry ont his purpoees. He, owever, ordained ‘E;‘esbyum in England and Scotland, andthey: inistered the sacramentact baotism and the Eucbarist. He alaoconsecrated a Bishop for Great Britsin, who was unwisely rejected by the ministers of his Church. The consequence ig that they have an annual Bishop- ric, ceasing with & mn&h term, incapable of continual re-election, and filling their body with large number of ex-Superintendents or Bish- ope. H:d they accepted his plap, they would baved.b:un to-day the strongest church in En- glan This course your rorrespondent will not con- sider consistent with one who was ounly, a8 _he declares, s '* very earnest prieat,” who - lived and died in the bosom of the Church.” As & presbyter of the Church of Englend. such acts were in the highest degres revolutionary, and ecclesiastically treasonable. He did not exercise these fanctions as » presbyter, as * an ardent priest,"” but as a Bishop. Whence did he get hus_authority ? Either he assumed it, and 80 se: himself up as1dependent of his Church, or bo received Ejnscopal author- ity from soms otber sowce than the Church of England. The forme: hs might have felt em- rowered to do_by the Hezd of the Church, aa ona to whom it had been given to creats s new Chmch,nu flllh moder;rgz:;‘chu are pew— Eplecopalian, Baptist, rian, Con; tional, and Luthersu. Buc Wesley was ugng{-g; a lover of ** a historic Church and'its ministry ™ a8 your correspondent saya the Protestant Episcopalisns sre. He was & deep stadent of chorch history. He knew every liae along which ¢ battle of the ages had been fonght. He was eaxious to protect him- gelf against any charge of being *‘s setter-up of strange goda " ecclesiastic, of departing from the order and unity of the historic Church. It ig therefore reasonable to conclude that he took 1o steps in this direction till he had been him- Belf ordained a Bishop. It is almost a bistoric ‘certainty that he received such ordination from the bands of Erasmus, the Greek Bishopof Crete. Manyincidents go to prove this fact. It is asserted or credible authonty that whea tho first Protestant Episcopal Bishop visited En- gland to get consecrated, hocalled on the Bishop of London. The Bishop dsclined to serve him, saying bo was prevenied by the sct of
