He selected he llth chapter of St. John, the 47th, 48th, 49ch, 10th, 51st and 52d verses, “ Then gathored the Chief Priests and the Pharisees, ascouncil, and said: What do we? for this man doeth “neny miracles.

Therefore, disunion a agreement, are only to be found without the sa- eel, without the sacred precincts of the which it was his prayer it no dit ude be admitted. How did the ip) of the Divine Savior? ‘hey understood it literally, 2: church of the present y understands it—that in the church there should be ape a and epcnal ee shoul the days of the fathers whose texts I have tong now quoted ? And when you discover the church which is an’ cient, and which hes, through an uninterrg] succes. sion of pastors, handed down the doctrine taught in the earliest times,then no matter how many more denomi- nations may Claim the title, to that church we will! look the true Church of Christ. Again, Lac tautins—cor back to the Western church—in his fourth book of Divine Institutes, chap. 30, “when the Novatians, or Valentinians or th Ericicnites or any other are named after this manner, they cease to be true Christians: for, having lost st, sumed a human and appellation. It is e true faith. Sh he churab alone that ret fountain oftruth, the abode of faith, the temple whoever departs from her is estranged from salvation. Let no one deceive himself by obstinately contending against her for life and sulvation are at stake.” You see the argument of Lactantius. The Nevatians ceased to be styled christians. Valentinians were called aftertheirfownder. The Maisionites ceased, likewise, to be Christians; but, notwithstanding all these sects, there still existed the church which was catholic, clearly ancient, united, and perpetuated, notwithstanding jes that sprang up around her. “Hereit is,” he “that the Catholic church alone retains the true faith ot Christ. She is the foundation of faith, the temple of faith, the abode of God. Let no man deceive himself, for life and salvation are*at stake.” Now, is it possible for a modern Catholic to use janguege then this? and is not his Jan- 6 language of the church at the present day? age and hold to his doc- in the person of St. Augustine ; a name which is an oracle of the church, whese responses, if I may so ex- press myself, must be heard with awful attention by all Christians of the present dey. Hear him in his book en- titled De Unstete Eeclesia, the 4th ohapter—“ All Christ is th dand body. The only begotten Son of God, the head—and the body, the church. Whoever separate from that head, and from the sacred writings, though they be found in ail places where the chutch is known, are not inthe Church.” And aj : “ Whoever disrent from the church, so that their communion is not with the whole—though it be ever so extended, yet, in the small- est degree separated from that, it is manifest that they are not inthe Catholic church.” This is again power- ful and cogent . The church exists; although there are other mations still the one true church does exist. And the writes:—Ep. 208 Ad Felicam : “ To the Catholic charch, which is not confined to Afri- ¢a, like the sect of Donatus, but 1s extended all over the world, there are good and bad.” He maintains the neces- sity of union ; and that union is to be found in the true church, and ‘who separate the trae church lay claim to be Christ. Another quotation from his book on faith, chi 10 :—" We believe in the hol; and schismatics, style ions. But the former, by their false notions, ite faith, and the latter by their criminal dissensions upon fraternal cl ough they believe what lieve. “Pherefore, neither heretics appertain to tholic church, which loves God, nor schismatics, because she requires the love of ourneighbors.”” And let us not be frightened in this age of refinement, at the terms shcismatic or heretic; for We find the es proi schismatics, awful denuntiations, and ren! ik heresy es a dreadfol crime. You consult the epistles ap. Catholic church. For emselves ecclesiastical of St. Paul, you will find that are ranked among the sins excluding from the kingdom of God. Therefore, we only act in conform: ity with the spirit of Christianity, in denouncing, not indi- viduals, for we respect their personal convictions, but in making no truce with heresy, no matter how re- spectable the individuals who profess them. For it is not with individuals that we have to do ; it is with truth and error m themselves. One more text’ from the Holy Fathers, and I shall close there volumes for the pre- sent. The same St. Augustine, in his 195th Epistle:— “The Catholic Charch only is the body of Chriat, of which he, the Savior, is head, as of his own body. Out of this body the spif® vivifies none. Whoever, there- fore, wishes to have the Holy Ghost, let him beware, lest he remain out ofthe Church.” It was not, then, the doctrine of his day, that every man could be saved ; that it matters nothing} whether he believed or not. ‘These may be styled “tolerant and liberal” notions, but they are not the hr sh inculcated by our Divine Savior,or the convistions of the ancient fathers of the church. They are principles that the Catcholic Church cannot be re- conciled te, even though they may. be encouraged by most respectable individuals ; for if it be true that Christ is a Divine perm ao mctter how respectable or learned he may be who es the contrary, even if he werean angel from Heaven, were to teach that church is not Di- vine, the two | vee sitions cannot be true ; and on this ‘account the Catholic Church cannot be reconciled to error. Hit yet she is charitable, and makes ‘all dae allowances for individuals, on account of early prejudices, ignorance. or early education, From what I have said, we must ell admit that Christ es- tablished the charch with the intention that unity should exist init Thet he ed for toal unity, and that the early fathers of ‘churek id and taught the necessity of unity. Now the naturally pre- sonts itself, are you convinced of the necessity of uni- y 1 You are, or youare not. If you are convinced that there is necessity fer this unity, then no other argument is required. If you are not convinced, then you go con- u to the intentionand prayer of Jesus Christ, and to the doctrines and teachings of tha fathers ofthe primi- tive church. We will suppose that you believe in the of the: of unity ; but that itis aible to ont true church is Where unity exists. Where that church is, there is the question, and the teat of the question is, which was the first church ?— ‘wes the true church. All that separated m re ps church ee sroutilty te 4put not- ry separation and hos fo the true charch, and their efforts = ite errors in i- tion tothe trae church, still the church must have continued the same as it was established by our divine Saviour. This datas of the unity of the church is one ofthe greatest importance, and seems to be attracting the attention of the candid and espec: tain quarters. I hold inmy hand 2 discourse delivered in 8t. John’s church, Brooklyn, vy the Rev. Mr. Jobn- son, and I cannot but pay a just and public tribute of re- spect tothe candor, honesty, and- sincerity which it breathes in every line, while, at the samo time, after pe- rusing its , it only confirms tho doctrive wi t have been this evening, viz :—the neceesity of unity in the great Christein church. He agrees exactly witb me ia ere ‘er ofour divine Saviour fer unity.— He argues it the prayer was answered at the time it wasmade. He argues that the chu: jas ina te of unity for many years.” These are the pp ses ou which this excellent clergyman founds his ar- gument—but the conclusion appears to me extremely erroneous; for, if Jesus Christ preyed, and was heard in the beginning, can it be possible his prayer was not effi- cacious for alltime ? It efficacious, can it fail to still? And if it was efficecious, and unity did exis some years, how is it possible that we can admit the con- clusion that thet unity has ceased? I jally incer js not the power of Christ as efficacious now as it was in the beginning? Is ayer as available at the present, as it was in 7 And if it wes his desire thet should be ed in his church, how is le that that unity showld be broken, and his prayer cease to be effi- cacious?
