Growth et' lUtulaliele. in

In the July number of the Contem-
porary Review appears an article from
the pen Qf Archdeacon Farrar. and is
of such power and tamer that we
trust it Will be care Lilly studied by our
readers, The following, extracts from,
the article will give, our teasers an idea,
of its. value
"The time has come when it is the
plain, imperative duty of every true
member of the English Church to re-
assert, at all costs, the principles—the.
scriptural, the primitive, the blister ie
principles --the assertion of which is
the soleeason why their Church, as a
Reformed Church, has any title to exist.
If there be no valid eternal differences
between the doctrines of the Church of
mingland and those of the. Church of
Rome, and if there was no necessity
for the Reformation' to repudiate and
epndemn the ceremonies which were
the outward expression of those doc-
trines, then every English Churchman
is the member of a schism, and only
makes himself ridiculous and inconsis-
tent if he loftily condemns as guilty
schismatics his Nonconformist Breth-
ren,
"In these days a man who openly
professes and fearlessly maintains the
truths which are the sole raison d'etre of
our existence, is denounced by crowds
of false Churchmen as being 'no Church-
man.' . It makes no sort of difference
in this idle taunt that his views are
those of all the Apostles, of all the
primitive fathers, of the prayer -book,
the rubrics, the articles, the homilies,
and of every authoritative document
and every authoritative theologian of
the Church to which he belongs,
" I. There is, for instance, no shadow
of even possible doubt what is the
teaching of the Bible, of theprayer-
book, and' of the 'Church of Eng-
land about the clergy. The setting
up of the Presbyterate as a sacri-
ficial priesthood; the pretence that
the ministry is vicarious, not represen-
tative; the assimilation of the English
clergy to the 'massing priests' of the
middle ages; the claim that our Pres-
byters perform acts of sacrifice as sub-
stitutes for the people—are demonstra-
bly unjustifiable. To the proofs that
they are so no attempt of an answer
has been, or can be, given, except on
premises which, our Church has delib-
erately rejected. The claim of priest -
craft robs Christians of the most ines-
timable privileges of freedom which
Christ purchased for them with His
own blood. It is bringing back the
deadliest virus of Romish error, and
thrusting a class and a caste between
the soul and its free, unimpeded access
to God. Dr. Arnold said that to re-
vive Christ's Church is to expel the
Anti -Christ of priesthood.' The severi-
ty of the expression will show what
myriads of true uncorrupted Church-
men still hold. They will not bow
their free necks and their free con-
sciences to what history has shown to
have often been the most blighting,
debasing and intolerable of all en-
croachments. The tyranny of priestly
usurpation, where it can assert itself
in anything more thin pretence and
clamorous assertion, has always proved
to be more ruthless than the tyranny
of either kings or mobs.
"II. The doctrine of Sacredotalism is
always allied to the doctrine- of Tran-
substantiation,
ramsubstantiation, and Transubstantiation
is one of the heresies which the Church
of England at the Reformation most
decisively and most emphatically re-
pudiated. She might well do so. It is
a late and gross corruption of crude
materialism, not formally accepted
even by the Church of Rome till the
Lateran Council of 1215. The argu-
ment for it, such as it is, ignores the
whole analogy of the faith. It is based
like some inverted pyramid upon the
crumbling apex of an utterly misinter-
preted metaphor, a metaphor the per-
version of which might well have
seemed utterly inconceivable to any
one who has even the most distant
familiarity with Semitic modes of
thought and expression. I cannotcon-
ceive any doctrine more essentially an-
tagonistic to all that is pure, noble,
and divinely spiritual in the Gospel of
Christ, than this attempt to localize
and materialize the presence of God.
As yet, I believe, most ritualists avoid
the word Transubstantiation, but they
teach practically the same thing under
various thin disguises and verbal jug-
glings. For a time they avoided the
word 'Mass,' which had no possible
charm beyond the fact that it was
Romish; but they now openly boast
that they have both the word and the
thing.' Yet 'the thing' practically
means transubstantiation and nothing
less; and to teach it in the Church of
England is not only heresy, but a di-
rect defiance of her most explicit teach-
in"III. Auricular confession is the na-
tural result of sacredotal encroachment
and sacramental materialism; and if
the once -Protestant laity of the Church
of England can look on unmoved and
see this practice—which has in all ages
been prolific of the worst evils—rein-
troduced among them, it can only be
either because they have been driven
into contemptuous indifference byhav-
ing been first betrayed, and then re-
duced to helplessness, or because they
look elsewhere than to the Anglican
Church for freedom and for truth.
"For of auricular confession there is
not the faintest vestige in the New
Testament. It was absolutely un-
known to the Fathers, even amid the
dense overgrowth of sacredotal usur-
pation and corruption in tho fourth
century. Ib was a gradual innovation
of the darkest part of the dark ages
and I have no hesitation in saying—
and am perfectly prepared to prove to
any extent—that it has been stamped
by age after age with the just stigma
of indelible abhorence. The evidence
comes, in generation after generation,
from Romanists themselves. Their
greatest divines show that it has con-
stantly produced the deadliest and
most execrable abuses. I should be
sorry to stain these pages with the
horrible evidence of these abuses, even
in modern countries and modern days;
but if any one dares to doubt my state-
ment, the dark and damning proofs
are superabundantly at hand. Where
the system exists there is no sure safe-
guard—there never has been any safe-
guard—against such abuses. They
have been admitted by Council after
Council, by Pope after Pope, by writer
after writer; by Alexander IV., by
Pius IV., by Paul V„ by Gregory XV.,
by Benedict XIV. They wore pointed

details are .always studiously hushed
up, enough has been demonstrated
before. courts of justice, even in living
memory; to show that the same causes
lead,' in many instances, to the same
results. .
"There are thousands in England,
where flfty years ago there were only
scores, in the upper classes, who now
devote their Sundays exclusively to
worldly amusements, who rarely en-
ter a church, and scarcely ever dream
of partaking of the Holy Communion.
In the working classes such risen may
be counted by millions, and their num-
bers will steadily increase as Ritualism in-
creases. England may be driven, by
Ritualism into infidelity, but I believe
that she will have a reel back into bar-
barism before she becomes Romish or
again accepts the form of religion
which the Spanish Armada would have
forced upon us with stakes and imple-
ments of hellish torture. On the day
on which I write Bishops and Church-
wardens are assembling to denounce
the Welsh Suspensory Bill. But what
is the cause of the Nonconformist ani-
mosity to which the Welsh Suspensory
Billowes its origin? The Nonconform-
ists in Wales feel no hatred towards
Evangelical Christianity, but, according to
Archdeacon of Llandaff, they cannot
bear with a Church in which 'they be-
lieve that "the mass" is being made the
centre of religious worship; that min-
isters have, in practice become sacrificing
priests; that Sacredotalism, with its
train of dangerous error, hasbecome
the prominent power of our Churches;
that the private Confessional is beim
made the door of full membership
'The Welsh nation,' says the Arch-
deacon, 'does not want a Church that
busies herself in drawing narrow lines
of demarcation. It wants a church
that can appreciate Christian virtue,
and Christian work wherever these are to be
found. When it finds such a Church it
will not refuse to cherish it.' Disestab-
lishment will be one of the first conse-
quences of the triumph of Ritualism,
and immediately after disestablish-
ment will come the necessity for, and
the certainty of, a new Reformation to
re-establish the truths which Ritualism
endeavors to overthrow. Of one thing
the Bishops, and the Ritualistic clergy,
and the members of the English
Church Union may rest assured. It is
that, even if they re-establish the In-
quisition in all its terrors, and not in
its present milder forms, as they are
exercised in the Church Times , and
similar •religious' newspapers—
" 'Fagot and stake were desperately sincere,
Our cooler martyrdoms are done in type—'
there are—in spite of this tyranny—
myriads of Englishmen, and not a few
even among the clergy, who will not
stand a Church of England which shall
tend to become Romish in all but
name, or perhaps Romish even in
name. The days of disruption are be-
ing hastened on with giant strides.
May God avert the unspeakable evils
which- theywilt inevitably bring in
their train 1"
HARD TO SUIT.
A San Francisco man, as reported
by The Call, had been in bed for sever-
al months with a malady that made
him very nervous and irritable. His
' wife and daughter ministered to him
assiduously, but were soungtimes at
their wits' end in trying to satisfy
his capricious desires. As the young
lady said once, her father was so "un-
reasonable that he would scold if an
angel were waiting on him." One
night, when the mother and daughter
were both thoroughly tired out, a
young man, a friend of the family,
was called in to watch with the sick
man for six•hours after midnight. The
invalid's wife instructed him about
the medicines, and especially caution-
ed him to be careful about disturbing
the patient.
"He is very irritable," she said.
"Don't speak to him unless he speaks
to you, and if he is asleep when the
time comes for him to take his medi-
cine, don't disturb him.
"And, by the way," she added, as
she was about leaving the room, "you
may like something to read. Here is
Mark Twain's 'Roughing It;' it will
amuse you, but you mustn't laugh
while reading it, for Mr J— will fancy
you are laughing at him, and will be
very ,ouch annoyed."
The young man performed his duties
to the best of his ability, but on going
away in the morning was thanked
rather curtly by the invalid. As soon
as he was gone, Mr J— broke out.
"See here, mother," said he, "don't
ever send that numbskull to watch
with me again."
"Why, father, what do you mean?
Wasn't he attentive? He didn't go to
sleep, did he?"
"No, no, no; but I was awake for
two hours, and I watched him reading
Mark Twain's book all. that time,
and,—"
"But father," interposed Mrs J—,
"I gave him that book to occupy his
time. He—"
"Oh, yes, yes; that's all right, but
that fool sat there for two hours read-
ing that book, and never smiled once."
TO DEFRAUD THE FARMER.
Misdirected letters falling into the
hands of the posfoffice department re-
veal the latest device for defrauding
the farmers. "Gilt Edged Butter Com-
pound" is the name, and it consists
of three cents worth of pepsin sold
at $1.50. The farmer is directed
to take a pint of fresh milk and as
much of the compound as he can heap
on a silver dime. These two are laced
in a churn with one pound of soft but-
ter. The mixture is then agitated for
a short time, when it becomes trans-
formed into two pounds of apparently
good butter. In reality this is an
emulsion. which soon shows weak and
soft, and speedily spoils. The postal
headquarters of the fakirs was at
Windsor, but they belong t:o across the
line.

Thomas McCann, a well-to-do farmer of
the fourteenth line, East Zorra, was a
heavy loser by fire on Thursday night.
His barns caught fire about ten o'clock, just
after the farmers had retired for the night,
and the buildings, with the contents, were
destroyed. It was a splendid bank barn,
built two years ago. The contents includ-
ed the season's crop of hay, twenty-five
hogs and a valuable mare. One team of
horses and one hog were saved. The orgin
of the fire is unknown. Mr McCann's loss
was partially covered by insurance in the
Tavistock Insurance Company.
NOTES AND NATIONS,.
(Ram's Horn)
Love for God never begins until we
begin to trust him.
The devil's war is better than his
peace.
The moment we trust in God he is
in us.
Christ fits us for heaven by making
us heavenly in character.
When our hearts are full of Christ a
very little of this world is enough.
The most precious thing on earth or
in Heaven is God's love.
The man wastes his time who under-
takes to reason with a fool.
The Gospel is not a blessing to any
man until he believes it.
Life never rises any higher than the
belief. The man who believes wrong
will behave wrong.
When the devil is lookingfor an
easy place, he always finds it in a sel-
fish heart.
No tree can ever become so large as
not to depend for life upon its smallest
roots.
Profession that is all pretence has no
influence except for evil.
An indifferent man is a doomed man.
To float in the rapids is as dangerous
as to row towards the falls.
When God tells us to give, it is not
to lose our riches, but that we may put
them in a safer place.
The natural result of seeking riches
is anxiety and care. The result of
seeking God is love, joy and peace.

The cup containing the coal oil was left
on a window sill at the residence of
Mr McNish'$ brother at Byron, where
the child's parents were visiting, and
the little one managed to reach it and
drank most of the contents before be-
ing discovered. A physician was sent
for, and he slid what he could for

hopes that the child would recover.
Three hours later he received word
that the child wais quite lively again.
When Mr and Mrs I1cNish were pre-

died. It is supposed that the coal oil
had perforated the child's stomach.
A London Cablegram says:—The
Canadian Government has extended
a further invitation to tenant farmers
to visit Canada and examine into the
conditions of agriculture there. This
invitation has created widespread at-
tention, more especially in view of the
present state of farming here. There
is considerable eagerness on the part of
tenant farmers to visit Canada and see
for themselves how farming is con-
ducted there, and Sir Chas. Tupper has
received a great many applications.
Only the most representative farmers
are to be permitted to accompany the
party, hoceever, and Sir Chas. Tupper
is now selecting twelve of the best men
to represent the various districts.
One of the most fiendish and outrage-
ous acts recorded in the history of Will
county Illinois, was that committed on
little Nellie Byron, the 13 -year-old
daughter of a Wesley township farmer,
Sunday evening. Nellie went to visit
her aunt. Mrs Uimsted, one and a -half
miles from her home, last Sunday, but
did not return. Search was made for
her, Thursday none the little girl was
found concealed in a growth of hazel
brush, dead, her body showing evi-
dences of a criminal assault. Ernest
Lacore, a farm hand, aged, 21 years,
was arrested, and to the State's At-
torney he confessed everything, saying
he murdered her by breaking her neck
between his hands. The sheriff had to
•sinuggle the man to Wilmington to
keep him from the lynchers. He was
brought to Joliet, and it is reported
that fully 1,000 men are coming to kill
him.
