BRAUND, A. BISHOP.
Prop. Aunt.
The Rotatory System.
At the closing service of the jubilee of
the Anglican Diocese of Torouto in that
eity on Thursday, his Lordship Bishop
Baldwin said that he would be glad when
it becatne possible to divide the diocese, as
he could not now attempt to keep up with
the work. The bishop of Ontario bad ace
cused them of being too jubilant on this
occasion and, because of this, freckling
meaty grave • matters they should consider.
With the coneent of tire meeting he would
like to put before them four principles that
be felt should be followed : The first
rrinciple was that in the arrangement of
perishes the work snould be greater than
the !nen. Their great mistake was that
they made the man greater than the work.
The Methodists, Rowan Catholice and
other bodies, tehen they found a man ruin-
ing a cause, sacrificed the man ; but the
Cburch of Eitglancl would keep a man he
ino place when every one know that he
was scuttling the ship. When it is propos-
ed to remove such a man, they cry out,
tefIe has vested lights" -vested rights to
scuttle the ship. The seceed complaint
was that the Church has kept too close
to the parochtal system, under which the
elergyman setved the rich to the exclusion
of the poor,. "We want to do away with
the pew system altogether," he said, and
tlte Conference applauded hirn to the echo.
In some place, he continued,. the rector
feels that he him only to naimster to the
pew holders, and lete therm ontside the
Church go, In the third place. he TCCOID,
mended that they have something ot
ref say system. .A man VIES OLIO', in a few

know, and POMO thICCIS thIlt he does) eot
