with the doctrines of the church or with its liturgy. If the entire and absolute hopelessness of good from that sacrifice (beyond a very little modification effected by the true and competent authority, the church itself) has not been made sufficiently plain by the proposals for amended liturgies, and so forth, already published, what can be made plain?

In conclusion, let not these humble pages be wrongly or unkindly judged, as meant to throw a veil over all imperfections, or to declare resistance against all attempts at improvement. The writer has given no opinion on such points as either what might be done or should be done. The simple drift of all that has been said here, if it has but been said intelligibly, is this-that the improvements and reform. really needed do not (with small and few exceptions) lie within the reach of legislation; and therefore random legislation CANNOT do good. The real grievances, which need a cure, are SENSUALITY and SELFISHNESS, INDIFFERENCE, DISSENT, and UNBELIEF; the remedies as yet proposed, legislatively, are THE IRISH BILL, (which is sacrilege,) FORCED COMMUTATION OF TITHES, EQUALIZATION OF BENEFICES, and ABOLITION OF PLURALITIES. Where is the fitness in the prescription to afford relief? ttt.
