It was otherwise with him-for Principle THERE are many curiosities in natural history, of which recent writers have provided the public with information at once novel and instructive. In the province ecclesiastical, however, few have furnished those records with regard to genus and race which the marvellous productions of modern times would seem to have rendered necessary. The old divi- sions into which the Clergy were divided have ceased to be either accurate or exhaustive. Old analyses of character and thought have lost their point and pertinence. And this because ancient principles are neglected and sound precedents set aside. Even Mr. Conybeare's Church Parties, and that brilliant series of papers by Mr. Oxenham, published twelve years ago under the same title, very inadequately describe the present state of affairs. The silent revolution has done its work. Everywhere Expediency has been potent, for principle has been flung to the winds. Old parties are broken up, and even the combinations formed from their dissolution have in due turn come to nought. One party-a strange cross-breed unknown to English history and intrinsically un-principled (by this we mean without any fixed principles)-aims at growing influential, and seeks more power than it now pos- sesses. This party is a party of destruction. The men who High Church Radicals." At present they make up for their limited numbers by unmeasured abuse of their opponents, groundless assertions and unlimited noise. As far as in them lies they are successfully breaking up the Church of England-or at all events are scattering such a seed as must, sooner or later, infallibly produce that result. Should the humble enquirer ask what a High Church Radical is, there need be no difficulty in providing a faithful definition. He is a composite compound of so-called "modern principles" which are self-destructive and contradictory; and aims at carrying out a new and revolutionary Church policy which is ruin for England and a certain triumph for Rome. He is an universal fault-finder. With him nothing is to be tolerated but the brazen-faced assertions of the leaders of his own clique, and the infallible utterances of their cheap ritual- istic newspapers. Of past history he knows but little, of present facts next to nothing. He has an ideal, as we all have; but it is one which is not very likely to be realized on earth. For this ideal, like a fretful child, he cries out con- tinually but such a cry is only a If hope deferrred maketh the heart sick," the heart of the Though the rank and file of the party is composed of the which they share with Mr. Bradlaugh and Mr. Finlen. In And it is wonderful to see how their "Unions" and news- eyes. The work of the High Church Radicals is not difficult. It The dangers of such a policy are either never considered, or Here in England, however, we regret their mischievous action and heartily oppose their democratic proposals. A national Church, allied to and influencing the State, may flourish and expand-but a sect (and this is that to which we are coming) at open opposition with the State, opposed to the direct action of a hostile communion with ramifications all over the world, would only last for a short time. Its death might come by slow mortification, like our northern relation, or by a gallopping consumption. But that it would die- weakened, starved by its friends, and dismembered, is as certain as that June follows May. The Church Universal will never die-God forbid such a notion!-but no such promise relates to any national Church or part of it. Therefore, in solemn earnestness we urge our readers to ponder over the dangerous principles here inadequately referred to, and at once to dis- connect themselves from the wire-pullers of a pushing and self-opinionated faction, who, like Samson, may not im- |
