Te the Editor of The Chicago Tridbune ; Cmcaco, Oct. 20.—Will yon kindly allow me .%o contribute my mite to the interesting discus- sion on Church unity now goiog on in your columuns? Bishop Haven has, Ithink, been unguarded in respect to the supposed Erasmus consecra- tion. He should not have furnished his oppo- nent 80 keen a weapon ag that apocryphal trans- action. The question of Church unity, how- ever, does not turn upon this pivot; for the Greek, the Roman, and the Anglican Churches haveall a saccession of some sort m the Epis- copate, and yet they are not naited. The point which most interests the Christian world of to-day is not so much, it appears to me, whether Wesley was or was not consecrated Bishop, aa whether the Episcopate is an office or an order: not, whether the various ecclesias- tical establishmonts shall be confederated to- gether in visible organic unity—frozen into one compact solid mass—but whether the unity desired—and, thank God! itis very generally desired—may pot rather be reached and sub- staotially eojoyed through material paternal recognition of each and every regularly consti- tated ecclesiastical body as trulv. part sad pareel- of the one Catholic ar Universal Church of Christ, no matter how distinct their forms, or how diverse their modea of organization. ‘Ware Ia Methodist, I should say that it is of no consequence whatever to prove that Wesley was or was not ordaiced & Bienop by Erasmus. ‘The New Testament—the supreme authority in all such cases—recognizes nowhere the order of Bishops as saperior to, or distinct from, Presby- ters. It only kmows the office. That office the Father of Mothodism appears to bave exercised of neceesity (to an extent such as but few men bave exercised 1t) under the providential cir- comatances in which he found humself. For him that necessity had no law ; and, like Luther before the Diet of Worms, be could do no other- wige. So, also, in the Anglican Church. Cran- ‘mer and his confreres. from whom the Episcopal Chaurch in this country derives whatever of ec- clesiastical authority it may possess, were ex- communicated by the Church of Rome. They proceeded, nevertheless, in the discharge of their fanctions juat as though nothing had hap- pened, and just a8 Bishop Cummins now pro- ceeds, notwithstanding his excommunication by that excommunicated communion! The fruits of Wesley’s work may be eafely sppealed to as his jostification. Even the High Church Bishoj of Oxford felt constrained to eay that the Churc of England had committed a grievons mistakein casting out from her bosom *‘ that at and ood man John Wesley.” God hws abundantly blessed him. It is passing strange that so much stress should be Iaid by Churches hoary with the frosta of centuries, and therefore entitled to our re- spect, upon the exclusive claims of the Episco- pate, when these have not tho slighteat founda- tion in Holy Scripture, and have nothing stronger than ecclesiastical usage or tradition for their support.. The form of church government is no mors laid down in the Sacred Wora than is that of civil government, as though the Divine Spint had purposely left such matiers to the in- dividual liberty or choice of the various ecclesi- astical organizations, the great ossential being the preservation of *‘the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.” * The Lord Jesus Christ— strange though it may seem, if this matter be a8 important a8 some would mako it—said not one word on the subject. The Aposties laid down po rule. The whole argument for an ex- clusive Episcopate is purely inferential, just as is that for infant baptism. It has that value, and no more. A The fact that the Methodist Church bas a form of consecration of Bishops would seem to have somewhat confused this matter. and to have placed that great denomination in a rather anom- alous and illogical position, viewed from the standpoint of - bigh-toned _ Episcopacr. The Church, properly speaking, does not ordain any man to the ministry. Soe merely, by the laying- on of hands, sets her seal upon bim as on one approved by her, and recogoized to have been cailed of God to the sacred office. The validity, therefore, of her acts depends mot upon the calt or commission of the Church, but upon the call of God. Ordination is the certificate of the Church to the candidate’s worthiness and ortho- doxy, and is often erroneously given; aod will coutinue to be 80 given, the claim to infallibility notwithstanding. 1t was evidently not by an Apostle’s hands alona "—writes Dr. Jacob—*' that sacred orders eould be conferred. The authority to sppoint charch officers was inherent in _every daly con- stituted church, 38 the natural rightaof a Iaswfal and well-organized society. Aod as Presbyters might be joined with an Apos:le in ordaining, so0 might they, without an Apostle, give this sanc- tion of ecclesiastical authority inthe ordination of any minister in their Church. And that mot only Timothy and Titus, who were specially del- egated by St. Paul, ordsined Presbyters and dencons in the churches ot Epheans and Crete ; but certain prophets and teachers at Antioch, withont any such Apostolic delegation. were com- petent to ordaio an Apostle.” Ecc. Pohty, pp. 112-113. Bishop Haven bas, therefore, no need to fall back upon auy doubtfal Greek consecration for the validity of hia orders. By virtue of the Presbyterial element which undoubtedly con- curred in his ordination he is just as qualified to exercise the Episcopal office a8 is our own Bishop Cheney, who, yoa koow, eir, is, beyond all controversy, in the true succession. and, by priority of night and occupancy, the Diocesan of Chicago, Dr. McLaren to the coptrary notwith- staoding. " But, seriously, what cares this active, busy, practical world for guestions such as these, in an age of such restless energy, and 8o intensely utilitarian ? And above all, what care Chic?u- ans for eccleastical pedigree, and title, and dig- Dity?

Doubtleea he will take good care of himsalf, withont adventitious aid. The ** mmile of the various bodies of Christians as_only 8o Doy rei;-meuu of the same army ™ will, I think, hold good, norwithstanding the caveat of your correspondent. The differsut charches are Just 80 many regiments of ‘Christ’s grand army, mushaled i battle arrsy, although dfferently armed aud equipped, under the common banuer of the Captain of our salvation. They fight agrinst the common enemv, the world, the flesh, sud the devil. Butthe unity of these forceswonld be better illustrated by the different arms of ser- vice of some of the same army. Are the artillery, cavalry, and infantry at all antagoaistic branches of the one service > Is the army of tho United States opposed to the navy > Do not both co operate in the defense of tha common couatry 7 Are not both equally loyal ? And are not both equally sabject to the orders of the President Commander-in-Chief 2 For my part, I fail ta recoguize the antagonism. Those who are aiming at & cast-iron uniformi- ty—s_fusion into one molten mass of the varions churches of Christendom, occupy a position gim- Uar to that of the General who should say, “ Let us have done with these various brancues of the military service, and unite sall io one.” True, they bave dealt some bard knocks to the enemy, but henceforth let us all be uoited, and 20 we will bave artillery alone, or cavaly alone, or in- fantry alone ; and we will abolish the various uniforms : there shall bo but one cat, one color, one material, 10 use henceforth in ourarmy. And we will have but one weapon. _Swords, pis- tols, carbines, bavonets, spears, rifles, shall all be _prohibited, and every man shall bear-a « glanghter weapon ” like his neighbor'a. And furthermore, the army shall be abolished, or the navy, we are not quite settled which ; but, at all events, uniformity there must anc shall bs. It may be the Romish, the Greek, or the Anglican Church that shall be decapitated and gounder; or the Presbyterian, the AMeth. odist, the Baptist, the Congregationalist, or the so-called Protestant Episcopal. or perhaps that little offehoot, the Reformed Kpiscopal. e care not particnlarly which, smy or all, so there shall be unity aod uniformity ! The hosts of ix will then be met in solid phalanx by an aray all of one grade, or, the army abolished, then by the pavy only ! Now, for my part, I have no faith in that sort of £n;c_e&au the remedy for the exaggerated « divisions " of Christendom. Nor bave I the least faith in its practicability. We are in no haste to become all High Church Episcopalians, or * Catholics "—the more populsr.coguomen ; nor are we all anxions to dof the Methodist a2 Presbyterian uniform, Your correspoodent pretends—I say it not offensivaly—to be willing to give_up much for tho sake of drawing into hia Fasticales fold tha millions of Methodism who are perfectly con- tent, and have good reason to be. with their present pastures. Now what will he give up, sa 8 High-Charch Episcopalian,—for I perceive he believes in ** priests.” and thatis o safficient ear- mark,—whicn the Mothodists or any other of the Evangelical churches not in commanion with. his could posaioly accept ? Shall 1t be that brass- fenced dogma of Dr. McLaren, et socii” of in- variable baptismal regeneration? Or that Do- Koven notion of the ‘‘real presence” in the Eucharist, and “ sacramental ‘sdoration?” Or the exclusive validity of the orderof tactual succession ? Will he layaside his litargy, time- honored as it is, and embalmed in the hearts of millions, and adopt *¢ free prayer " axclasiveiy 2 It souunds well, a8 rhetoric, to talk of caring naught for “a fpw ecrars of linen” or of ‘ ecclesiastical millinery,” bat if I know saoght of the spint of at least one church, it wonld provoke u rovolu~ tion to talk of abolishing a lawn-slesve or a sur- plice, or almost even a cross from the cover of a praver-book! * A Lover of Unity” must know that, while the Reformed Episcopal Cburch cares not a fig for any or all of these things, and would and could abolish them to-morrow if deemed expedient, being, as she is. a church organized to do the work of this century, in his commanion the abolition of these doctrines, claims, and usages, would ba absolutely impossible. No! ‘When the Iast Generzl Convention refused to en- tertain the petition of 500 of her own munisters «Jor some little modicum of relief in the use of a single oppressive formula,—aod oppressive to the conscience, be it remembered,—smaill hope need be entertained of concessions to outside Mathodists, or to any other from suck & quarter. Concession got its quistus at that Convention. It would be the old story of the lion and the lamb lying down together, but not in the Scrip- ture acceptation, The Presbyterian can do batter a3 he 18, with his peripatetic moderatorship, s goverament by presbyteries, synods, aad assemblies. al- though some think he did not do quite so well 88 he might have dooe in ostracising Prof. Bwing,—it smacked too much of the fashion of the Cheney expulsion to bo tasteful in this merid- ian, and I somewhat doubt if the recent banish- ment of Dr. Thomas shall prove more palata- ble. The Methodist can bs more at home with his ** Amen corner,” now unhappily going out of fashion, and free prayer, and love-feast, and class-meeting. The Congregationalist is alzo too much wedded to his independency not to feel restive under the iron rule ot some Hilde- braod of the Romish or Protestant E piscopal Church. The Baptist wanta more water than it might always be quits convenient to farnish for his sccommodation, especially in the winter sea~ gon; and we, too, the lutle handfal of new- fledged Reformed Episcopsliaus, would bave sotne difficulty in possing tbat wall of bronze, or in accepting * priesthood,” or in deny- ing _ our palpits to _ the nighted non-Episcopal brethren ; and we certainly sbonld not feel comfortable without our Liturgy, with its chants and hymaos of the ages, or without our moderate unpreiatic Episcopate. No! let esch cultivate that portion of the vineyard to which the Lord may have mgned him. Let all recogr nize, everywhere, the lkeness of the Master. Let each church provoke ita sisters, not to strifa and envyings, but to all gnod words and works. Such I believe to be the order of Divine Provi- dence for Christ's Cburch militant here on earth. Let u3 not indulge in Utopian dreams ot any supposod possible or desirable uniformuty. And hereafter, when we snatl come to meet in the Charch trinmphant, tneo we <hall doubtless unite in singing the new song of praise to Him who bas_redeemed us, and washed us from our gins in His own blood. We are ofren rominded thatour Lord's last prayer contaned a petition that His peoplo might be one, even as He and His Father are: sod appes! is made to the ‘divided state of Coristendom,” to show that the Church of to-day fails to realize the end aud object of that prayer. But taking the prelatical churches as an illus- tration,—aod this is not the desizn of those who use this argument,—I fail to realize any nearer approumation to union among them than that existiog between those which are non-prelatical. Does the Greek Church, for example, fellowship tne Charch of Rome? Or doea this latter, or either of them, notwithstanding all the coquet~ ting going on, in reality fellowsbip the Anglican Communion ? And does not the Protestant (so called) Episcopal Charch in the United States turn the cold shoulder to the millions of otber Christians iu this country, contemptuously re- ordaining their ministers when she gets an op- portanity, practically ignoting—1f not absolutely denying—their church status, debarring them by canon from her puipits, aod following up with ** deposition from the ministry af the Church of God ” the preacher who desires to depart in peace from her communion 2 Why, there is vaady more of real union and com- muaion existing to-day between the Methodist and Reformed Episcopal and the various non- Episcopal churches than ever has existed, or aever, to all appearance, will exist, between the old-time Episcopaliaus the wozld over, dating back to the day of the Apostles. ' ‘But does the prayer of our Lord for unity on the part of bis Church actually mean unformi- ty? On this poins we may, I thiok, reason trom analogy. Unityin divereity would seem io be the law which God has impresssd upon the Kingdom of Nature. Take the vegetable world, in wiuch wo fiad no two trees alike, Ro $%0 Aow-
