RITUALISM AND REFORM, |{:" Bn Interview with Bishop Cummins, of the Reformed Protestant Episcopal Church, en the New Church Will Be Organized in ew York—Why Bishop Cummins Did Not . Stay Withia the Church—The Situation Defined—The Powerlessness of Bishops and of Ecclesiastical Law— What Forty Years’ Ritualism Has Done in the Mother Church of England. At the meeting of the Counet of the Reformea Protestant \Hall on Tuesday, if was announced, in an informal rway, that very speedily, and probably on Sunday mext, a congregation would be organized for wor- | ship in this city under the direction of Bishop Cum- guins. Witha view of obtaming information on ‘ghis point and also on other questions connected ewith this important movement a reporter of the BeRAvp called yesterday upon Bishop Cummins at Dig residence in Fitty-seventn st.ect, The Bishop received the reporter in bis library very kindly, and expressed tis readiness to give any informa- tion that he possessed on the subject. Hias a John Wesiey sort of face, very much of the wentieness, dignity and love of order that tne biog- yaphers of that eminent divine have ascribed to Wesley, and impresses a listener with the convic- tion that he is adapted, bota by nature and grace, dor a religious reformer. “Bishop,” inquired the reporter, “do you intend to organize your church in this city on Sunday next, or on an early Sunday Not on Sunday, sir, Christmas, or possibly not until the first Sunday in Jaunary. There are several reasons for the delay; one or twootthem {will give you. First, it is very desirabie that we should commence with the | Only a very few copies have | Prayer Book of 1783.

It would be better that this Prayer Book should be in the hands of all our {worsbippers, and as that cannot be done a dciay must take place in the organization of onr church. In addition to ythis, there is another important reason, Ishall, Wor some weeks to come, be more or less absent ‘from the city on omeial duties, and it is Mhonght by the laity who are associated with me ‘that it would not be well tor me to be absent from the puipit frequently at the outset of our organi- vation. There is much preliminary work yet to be @one, und therefore i do not think myself that we shall open our church before the first Sunday in January.” THE REASONS FOR SEPARATION, “These seem to be good and suflicient reasons, Bishop. May { now ask you lor information on an- ©ther matter connected with this movement? ‘pinion prevails not only in the secular mind, but aiso in the rei Where it has in some journals been elaborately stated that you and your Episcopal fi S would have brought about that which you desire more efectually and probably with greater promptitude by staying within the ns press, Church than by coming out of it. You have, doubt- Jess, very good reasons for net doing this, Would it be asking too much fur you to give them to the HERALD iu a some more summary and popu- Jar manner than you have dove in your published Jetters and discourses With very great pleasure. It is true, as you have stated, that there is a very prevalent opinion wmong many good and int sympathize With our object that w more good by staying within the Churet than by coming out. But that conciusion has been reached by @ want of acquaintance with the facts, Hirst of all refer to the personal aspect of this ques- tion, Viewed in the light of this objection—to our shouid coming away from the commupion of the Protes- | iwas Assistant Bisnop of | tant Episcopa! Church. Kenwuck, deiegated to me by Bishop Smith, I was called upon, in the exercise of my official position, to be present at confirmations in ( s in my dio- ceses, and, 80 far as my pres concerned, #anction an order of Worship contrary to my views, where ‘here would be an r aud super- uliar, and Where there Was a symbolic system in the Worship that war opposed to iy most solemn con- wictions. All that 1 could do was to stand with Ube people, and in my sermon preach truths that might be a corrective of tiis formaiisim, Bishop Binith, like many other bishops, did not see lis ‘way clear to aby active interierence. Neither is it surprising that he should hesitate. The experi- ence of other bishops who has moved im tus airection, particularly of Bishop Eastvourne—a g000 and faithiul man—who refused to allow the erection of an altar in a church in his alocese, and never recovered irom the effect that that prouibi- tion had on his popularity and usefuiness. The Adea Of the laity who ask for these innovations ee ie that a prohibition is an interference | ith that freedom and voluntariness whicn , of course, the characteristic of a Protestant piscopal church in America. Besides, 1 think it ‘would faye been dishonorable to have remained Macharch with the object of seeking to produce in that Churen a revolution in its laith and prac- tice, while projessedly subscribing to them, and ‘with the vows of that Church upon me. I think that there was no other course leit than for me to and do as | have done.” THE FOWERLESSNESS OF THE CHURCH, “Then you do not think, Bishop, that these ‘errors, a8 you suppose thein, comparatively mod- ern as they are, can be corrected within tie Church by either the mora! influence of evaugel- ical men or the torce of ecclesiastical law?” “The recent history of the Church does not favor that opinion, and this brings me to the other rea- won why I think that itis better that we separate urselves from the Protestant Episcopal Chureh. Let us look back tor @ moment at the history o! tie ritualistic Movement in the english Churen, of which our own Churen is a branch. That eele- brated tract, No. 90 of the ‘Tracts for the Times,’ ‘Was publishec in September, 1833; tuat is 40 years ago, and ritualism has gone on increasing e wince im the Church of Engiand. Dr. Pusey w Buspended by the University oj Oxiord then tor two yeurs jor preaching what he now preaches freely without jet or hindrance. Th very interesting pamphiet entitled ‘Qnous- que?’ written by ‘A high churchman, of tne old school.’ Allow me just to cail your attent one short passage therein in this conuc ENGLISH RITUALISM. It is impossible, I should think, for any one not to eee in the ceremonial of this day suflicient evidence ot the ‘obstinate determination of this school on auy occasion and by any means which may present theinselves to introduce ito our Church a system and form of worship y, 1 not whoily, different from that of the K urch of England: and there is no lack of ‘0 the same her piaces, though some- times but in. wifes; father’ is too hight %w show which way blows.

EFFECT OF ROCLESIASTICAL LAW, \ “What about the ecclesiastical law oj tbe English «harch, that could stop this?” “The answer to that,’ said the Bishop, “was best given to Bishop Potter, when in London, by te Archbishop of Canterbury and by Bishop Jackson, ‘When Bishop Potter put to these eminent eccie- siastics the same question, substantiaily, that you Have put to me, their answer was, substantially, that they were powerless to prevent it, If they try one erring clergyman, ‘here are 100 more ready to be tried: and, in fact, said Archbishop Pauverburs, the jaity have rhe_power to prevent it r scopal Church, held at Associauon | The Bishop | and possibly not nntil | The printer is | An | ential brethren who | do | Let me | 1had no power beyond tuat which was | e 1s a | and, unless | am inisine | part of the | ation, | yf they desire to: the church wartens can pro- it if they choose, but there is & leel- Ing, both among laity and clergy. that the Church of England 18 a@ kind of omnibus, in whieh Mr. Pusey, Mr, Bickerskith and Dean Staniey ! can alt ride together, and that the Churca is an ¢ | pansive Church, and that it shelters men of every condition of fairh, Now, what 18 true of England | is toa smaller extent true of America. In this city | we have churches nearly as ritualistic ax any in Fngland. Bishop Porter allows these ritualistic | practices im these churches, and an endeavor of the Bishop’s at the last Convocation to obtain & remedy was deeated by the lower house. Throughout this country there is a growing ten- dency towards a symbolic worship and the mani- Jestation Of @ faith that is certainly opposed to What We call evangelical truth,” WHY RITUALISM GROWS. “How do you account jor this growth, Bishop Cummins “There is much that appeals to the imagination in ritualism. Our young clergy are taken with the idea of being considered ‘priests,’ and trom the imagination they go on to the practice o! being | ‘priest,’ a ‘mediator’ between their fock and them- | Selves, In addition to this the Prayer Book has a | seeming sanction for their view, and so they and the iaity, irom commencing, in my View, wrth & | perilousiy near approach to superstit on, go on until they adopt the superstition ttsel’.”” PROSPECTS OF THE REFORMATION. “Have you reason to believe that tiere is an in- fuential minority of the clergy and the laity aroused to this danger in this country?? | “tdo, indeea, Every day brings me fresh tokens of what I cannot but regard as the divine javor on | our work, You wil remember the circular signed by 21 of the clergy of Philadelpnia, recently issued, belittling this movement. Only this very morning | Lhear trom a friend that two or these clergy have expressed their great regret that they had signed | this circular. We are not yet in @ position to | organize churches, but every day I have letters | trom clergy who are in full sympathy with this movement, and who will, themselves and their | congrezauions, come over to Us as soon as the heur arrives for that step to | be taken. Intimations of this character come from men ol ali evangelical denominations. ‘There are Presbyterians who desire a liturgy, Who are in sympathy with us, We have already associated with U8 not only men whose hearts are with us, but who have consecrated their suv- stance to this great work, If God be with us none can, you know, be successfully against us, If He is | not’with us, why then We siiall come to naught. | We are not desirous jor atiy display of large num- | bers, lor any oOstentations of growth. We are | Wishtul to grow, as in nature, by a steady and | silent, but sure process; and then our growth will be enduring, and we shall be permitted to accom- piish the work that we have sougut to do.” The enumeration of a few details of the work, | as now developing itzell, closed this very interest- ing interview, and the Bishop bade the reporter “good day,’ with @ pleasant smile and a cheery tone in his voice.

Instead of that, as alleged and sworn to by various parties, the average depth is only 12 inches and in some places it 1s only eight inches, Instead of sand, which costs $1 4 load, common dirt, NOT WORTH A CENT, was used toa great extent, as is alleged, Alto- | gethe ¢ work was done, by all accounta, most | imperfectly; and even then, thanks to the cou- | sideration of city oMcials for poor, kara working contractors, the money was all paid over to the latter full Jour months before it was completed, or | rather alleged and assumed to nave been com- | pleted, in clear and positive » VIOLATION OF MUNICIPAL LAW.

Dr, MeGiynn lectured jast eveniog i St, Peter’s church, Brooklyn, for the benefit of the poor of the parish, on the “Christian Priesthood.” He endeavored to show that Christ was a priest, not merely of the Moody sacrifice on Calvary, but | that the words of prophecy aud Christ's own teach. ings tell us of another priesthood in | whose ministry it should be to oifer a | eucharistic sacrifice, to teach the truth, to reconcile sinners with God, and by deeds of heroic charity, as well as by if* teacYings, te bring the whole world into the unity of one fam/ly “the kingdom of God on earth,” lookimg up heaven and with one votce proclaiming Melt perfect brotherhood in saying, “Our Pather ¥ he art in heaven.” He went on to show bow Christ exercises this His priesthood through the priest hood that He has left with Mis church; and he asserted that it is, im fact, still Chret hiner! offering His own sacrifice, absolving hers, teaching all truth and “going sbout doing gvod,” as He did of old, and Diessing, heme izing and sanctivying the world more edectually even than he aid during His mortal he, Ne sar Uhat it is Corist Himself Who does al tis tinene the priests, who are but His servants, mm and instruments, and that in every willing mond and joving heast the Master is still poweriul te de @ perlect work, even With Lhe most indiflierent 1 struments, He then went on to express his profound regret that men REPUTED TEACHERS OF RELIGION, blinded by passion or prejudice, of actuated hy more cool and deliberate, aud, therefore, even Meaner, purposes, should seize upon the natural weaknesses, imperfections, shortcomings and, | they choose, foilies, blanders and eriies of tie human element in the Church to hide from ¢ minds Of men the divine sight that Christ bas cor mitted to her keepmg, and to chill their heart against the heavenly graces of pardon, peace an’ sanctity that He would convey to their hearts from fis own opened heart on the cross, through the channels of those boly sacraments which He Himself has instituted ant leit with His church, a8 80 many points of imme- diate contact with Himself, for atl souls who will receive them with contrition and humility of heart. He then went on to say that it Was extremely pain- ful to read in the newspape 8 how a prominent clergyman of that very city of Biooktyn, the Key. | Mr. Beecher, had allowed himself on recent occa- sions to be swayed by such vulgar and ignorant prejudices—iI not animated by even more deliber- ate and calculating purposes—without even the poor excuse of ignorance. It is A MATTER OF NOTORIOUS PURLICITY in the newspapers that two prominent churches In | Brooklyn, Of lis OWD denomination and in close sympainy and fellowship with him and his clinren, have recently presenied to Piymouta cuureh, through committees headed by their respective tors, Adocument in Which the jollowlog para. pn occur ch a course of action appears to us especially un- «ly and especially dangerous when the sin aliewed is the good nauie of a minister of Carist. in whose nmed repute for purity of lve the whole church hax un interest; against whom circumstanual and daiwaging * utements are alleged to have been made by the inet ber whom the church thus puts beyond its reach corning whom suspicion is almost sure to be inc i by suelt an apparent avoldauce of duty, and where the prover epporuuauty w vindicate bis Mime is certainly sacrificed, At the meeting at which this document was con- | sidered by tlymouth church Mr. Beecuer wade a n, the driit of which was that he was opposed sclestasticism and shoul continue to be so op- posed to the end, forgetting, perhaps, for the mo- ment that Christ bad said, “1 will build my Cuurch,” and that to that Chureh He had sata, “Lo! m with you all days till the end.’’ If Mr. Beecher had contented himsell with questioning the action Of the sister Congregational churches, it would hardly be avy affair of ours; but on tie tol- jowing Sunday (as if following up his announced Christ, <n cburches that arraign him—perhaps his strongest word 1s that they have made A MISTARR, and of one of whose ministers the worst he had to Say Was that he was not born in Indiana, but, presto! he falls fou! of the Holy Catholic Apostole Chureh, that millions 0; saints and martyrs and of holy souls in every age have believed to be and with excellent reason (if a:l that T have said this even- ing is not a delusion) to be the very Courch that Curist said that He would build, and against which Hie promised that “the gates o1 hell should not prevail,” and to which He gave the commission to teach ali truth, even as He had taught, ti the end oj time, the Churca which they, with St. Paul, have believed to ve “the very body and the spouse of Christ.” Mr, Beecher, fresi irom the reading of the document trom which I have quoted, in which his [rieuds tell us of @ stain upon his character that, in their judgment, will be only deepened the more by the action which he persists in taking, has the horrible hardihood and efrontery to stand up and pronounce this Chureh of God “the marvel not only, but the injernal miracle, of time.” Mr. beecher cannot be iguoraat of the wondrous claims of tnis | Church to the gratiinde and veneration of man- kind, and he is acting an unworthy part when, with so much assnrance, he dares to assert what he could certainly not be sure ot and wnat he 1s not 80 ignorant but fe must have had many powerful reasons to doubt. Might not Mr. Beecher and reasons in the weakuess and sufferings of the individual human. ity of Christ to have denied His divinity and to have agreed with those who said, “By the power of the prince of devils does He cast ont devils?” TI | would say to Mr. Beecher that his action seems to savor of A VULGAR POLICY UNWORTHY OF A CHRISTIAN MIN- .
