the Church-each has a function to perform which he alone can fulfil. "Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men." We stand not before a human teacher when we listen to the Catholic Church. There is One speaking to us, not as the Scribes and Pharisees, but as the Voice of God. He that heareth you heareth Me: and he that despiseth you despiseth Me; and he that despiseth Me despiseth Him that sent Me."

CANON LIDDON'S ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN.

The opinion to which we have endeavoured to give expression in the accompanying Address to the Queen is, we have every reason to believe, very largely shared by Christian Englishmen at the present time, and we ask you to give it publicity in the bope that it may be largely and immediately signed, and may tend to bring about such a change in the attitude of the Government of this country as may diminish or even cancel our grave responsibility for the inhuman proceedings of the Turks. H. P. Liddon, Canon of St. Paul's; George Williams, Vicar of Ringwood; Charles F. Lowder, Vicar of St. Peter, London Docks; William Denton, Vicar of St. Bartholomew, Cripplegate. P.S.-Names of those willing to sign this address to the Queen will be received by the Rev. William Denton, 22, Westbourne-square. May it please your Majesty, -We, your Majesty's loyal and dutif 1 subjects, have heard with horror of the atrocities perpetrated upon thousands of defenceless men, women, and children in Bulgaria, Bosnia, aud other provinces of Turkey, by the accredited agents of that Government. It distresses us to feel that the support which this country has accorded to Turkey for many years past has encouraged and enabled that Power to commit these crimes against its Christian subjects. We are deeply convinced that no considerations of political expediency can justify us in practically remaining the accomplices of a despotism which is already condemned by the voice of the whole civilised world, and we pray that your Majesty's Government will, in conjunction with the other Powers of Europe, secure the complete separation from Turkey of the provinces inhabited by the Slavonic race, and their entire independence of a Government to which they have hitherto been subject, and which has proved itself unworthy to rule them. We feel it, moreover, our duty at the present moment most respectfully to pray your Majesty to call the attention of your Government to the necessity of without delay requiring that the children which have been carried off from the devastated villages of Bulgaria by the Turkish troops and by others should be immediately restored to their parents, or, where these have been murdered, to their nearest friends; and also that your Majesty's Ambassador should at once call the attention of the Porte to the destitute condition of those Christian inhabitants of Bulgaria and Bosnia who have not been exterminated, and insist upon their being supplied before the approach of winter, at the cost of Turkey, with food and shelter, of both of which they have been deprived by the agents of that Government."

LETTER FROM THE ARCHBISHOP OF BELGRADE TO THE REV. WILLIAM DENTON.

"Belgrade, Sept. 1, 1876. "Dear Brother and Doctor in Christ,-Many thanks for your seasonable enclosure of £75, which I acknowledge officially by the enclosed, and we are, I hope, getting our hospitals into order, but when we achieved much there came on another heavy convoy of wounded. It would be invidious to name any surgeons as having especially distinguished themselves when all are working so well, but you as an Englishman will be happy to hear that the English doctors have covered themselves with honour by their courage and devotion. The war spirit is as high as ever, though the fortune of war is capricious. We are driven back by overwhelming numbers, and in their anger, with the knowledge of their wives and children behind them and the Turks in front, our patriots hurl them back by a mighty effort, and at a fearful cost of patriot's blood. We have been, if you will, imprudent in going to war, we acknowledge it; but the shrieks of the violated virgins and tortured peasants of defiled sanctums are enough to drive wise men mad. Put yourself in our place, fancy yourself in Wilshire rich and contented, and then fancy, if you can, a horde of Moslems ravaging the fair fields of Devonshire; imagine crowds of dishonoured matrons, ruined girls, fatherless children, childless parents, flying to you for help, and say if you would not forget your prudence, your comfort, your riches, and at once draw the sword in as sacred a cause as man fought for. And, my dear friend, try to point out to your countrymen the fearful sinful mistake they make in supporting this putrid civil power at Constantinople against rising Christian nationalities whose progress in civilisation is undeniable, and who desire but the help and sympathy of your country to become a new and beneficial nation, powerful and peaceful. Try as you will, you can never wash the Ethiopian white, nor make the leopard change his spots, or make a Turk a civilized being. Meantime you are checking enlightenment in those regions to an indefinite extent. A few months ago Bulgaria was covered with Christian schools, the British fleet appeared, and at once hundreds of schoolrooms were destroyed, schoolmasters and mistresses killed, and children massacred, and the whole land a desolate place of mourning. It is said that now English sympathy is coming to our side. Thank God for that, we shall rejoice beyond measure at the good news.--Believe me, affectionately yours, MICHAEL, 'Archbishop of Belgrade and Primate of Servia."

THE FORTUNE OF CARDINAL ANTONELLI.-The French papers state that the wealth of Cardinal Antonelli is generally reckoned at from fifteen to twenty millions, without speaking of his collection of ancient and valuable objects, which represent at least a million and a half. The Cardinal possesses one of the finest assortments of precious stones which exist in Europe; diamonds of all forms and of the purest water, incomparable emeralds, pearls and turquoises of unknown size-a veritable Oriental treasure. Then unique pieces of rock crystal, some fine pictures, the richest lace, and admirable tissues of the best periods.

Letters to the Editor.

The Rev. Orby Shipley presents his compliments to the Editor of the PILOT and begs he will be good enough to publish the enclosed letter:

[COPY.]

(To the Editor of the Guardian.)

SIR, I request you to publish, together with this letter, the accompanying contradiction of a telegram reprinted in your last issue, which relates to myself. I observe that you gave further publicity to the report in question on the day of its appearance in the Times, and before any denial of its truth could be made. As conscience, in the editing of Church newspapers, is powerless to check this reckless dealing with clergymen's repute, it is to be regretted that the fear of damages for libel cannot be utilized for their protection. Retractation will not undo the mischief, for a false impression has been circulated, and no denial, even it equally widespead, can remove that. As the present is only the last of a series of petty efforts by the Guardian to prejudice public opinion against the party of which I am a member, it is useless to expect more than the ORBY SHIPLEY. August 27, 1876.

insertion of this letter,

THE REV. JOSEPH BERINGTON'S MONUMENT. in the choir of the Parish Church of Buckland, Berkshire, in memory of SIR,-Perhaps the following inscription from the marble monument the Rev. Mr. Berington, a R.C. Clergyman of literary attainments, may be interesting to your readers? I have recently visited the church in question, and transcribed it. The Parish Church and churchyard contain numerous monuments of Roman Catholic nobility and gentry, mainly allies of the noble family of Throckmorton; mostly with devout and beautiful prayers for the dead upon them.

I may remind some of your readers that Mr. Berington was the Editor of the most interesting and valuable "Memoirs of Gregory Panzani "noted Re-unionist of King Charles the First's days.

FREDERICK GEORGE LEE.

Sacred to the Memory of

The Reverend and Venerable
JOSEPH BERINGTON,

Licentiate of Divinity of the University of Douay;
During 54 years

Pastor of the Catholic Congregation of Buckland;
Friend and Chaplain of

Sir John, Sir George, and Sir Charles Throckmorton, Barts.
In the discharge of the Duties of his Ministry
He was assiduous, kind and charitable;
At the altar devout and dignified;

In the pulpit perspicuous and impressive:
His writings, religious and historical,
Are marked by extent of research,
Depth of thought, energy of expression,
Clearness and elegance of style:
Sincerely attached to his Faith, his undeviating
Virtue was the expression of his conviction;
His whole life a recommendation of his Creed;
Neither judging nor despising his brother,
He willingly formed
Intimate connections with the good and worthy
of other Communions,

In his manner he was conciliating;
Moderate in supporting his own sentiments,
Candid in estimating the arguments of others,
Partial to amicable discussion;
Adverse to intemperate contests, his object was
Truth not victory.

In his friendship warm and steady;
Full of days and good works, he departed this life
Dec. 1st, 1827, aged Eighty-five.

R.I.P.

THE RESURRECTION BODY.

SIR,-Will you kindly allow me to make a few remarks on the letter of "Spectator," which appeared in your paper of August 16?

He cannot have considered the requirements of orthodoxy more attentively than myself. We are bound as Christians to believe that the body which we now have will rise again in all that constitutes the perfection of its human nature, but under altered conditions. The fact is, it will be so different as to be no longer the natural body properly speaking, but a spiritual body. How then can the two be the same? This is the crux alike of theologians and of enquirers. The two must be identical, but how can they be so? I answer, by one means only. By the spiritual substance which we have within us already; which corresponds in all its parts, to the natural body; which receives the impressions that form the memory, which enfolds the immortal principle like a garment, serves it as an organ; will survive the dissolution of the outer fleshy tabernacle, and be after death the dwelling-place and instrument of the soul. To suppose that a spirit can exist without an organism is an absurdity from which every reasonable mind revolts. The souls of the faithful are constantly described in Scripture as possessed after death of a spiritual body, and in it, as we believe, they will come again with Christ hereafter, and this return will, in the language of the Bible, be their "rising" from the dead. As to all mankind rising from their graves, a moment's reflection will show that the mere expression is nonsensical. They will not be in their graves. Even those who were buried will almost all of them have become vapour, and many will never have been buried at all. Spectator'

.66

PUNCH AMONG THE VIVISECTORS.

speaks of the body being "sown in the grave," but he might as wel speak of its being sown in the deep sea, or the drifted snow, or the fire, or the entrails of wild beasts, or in the stomachs of the cannibals of Fiji. This body of flesh itself will be our only tomb, and from it alone can we hope to rise.

At the second coming of Christ there may, indeed, nay, there must be, some really in the graves, and between their bodies, or what remains of them, and the spiritual bodies of the departed there may be mysterious affinities of virtue of which these remains will be spiritualised and close with the spiritual bodies of those to whom they previously belonged. Thus the Scriptures will be literally fulfilled, and thus the doctine of the spiritual body as I have propounded it is, when carefully considered and rightly understood, secure against every charge of heterodoxy and made conformable to the Scriptures and the Creeds. Nor can I with justice be accused of inconsistency by this admission, since the spiritual body of our Lord, which quitted this mortal frame when He cried "It is finished," passed into Paradise and visited the "Spirits in prison," then, returning, closed with the mortal body, which became spiritualised and assimilated with the divine soul of our Redeemer and Lord.

"Spectator" seems to be fond of asking questions, and though it is not a kind of argument that I admire, I will answer all of his, with your kind permission, albeit they are eleven in number.

1. "What became of the non-decomposed natural body of our Lord ?" Answer. It was spiritualised like those of Enoch and Elijah when they were taken to Heaven (Heb. xi. 5; 2 Kings ii. 11).

2. "What ground have we for our faith in the Resurrection as a dogma of the Church?"

Answer.-Christ hath risen to certify us of it.

3. "If our natural bodies are not to arise at the last day, what is the meaning of the vision of the prophet Ezekiel ?

Answer. Simply what Ezekiel declares to be the meaning: the house of Israel should return from their captivity in Babylon. Thus saith the Lord God; behold, O My people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel" (Ezekiel xxxvii. 12).

4. “Can Mr. Earle tell me how Christ fed many thousands with a few loaves and fishes, and how the fragments which remained exceeded many times in bulk the loaves and fishes when He blessed them and gave them to the disciples to distribute?

Answer. He multiplied the loaves and fishes. He could feed all mankind with one loaf and one fish if so He willed; but it is not pretended that He will miraculously multiply the particles of our body, nor will any such particles exist some years hence in a recoverable condition. They will have entered into the bodies of others and formed new chemical combinations.

5. "If the precious blood did not at the Resurrection return to the veins of our dear Lord, how can it be argued that the Ascension was typified by the High Priest's entering with the blood into the Holy of Holies to sprinkle it before the Mercy Seat?"

Answer. The blood of our dear Lord is spiritualis d, and so is every part of His natural body.

6. "If that blood is not in existence how can we be said to be washed in it, in Sacraments of Baptism and Penance, and above all, what have we in the chalice at Mass?"

Answer. That the blood is in existence under altered and spiritual conditions. I do not know what "Spectator" means by our being washed literally in the blood of Christ. I thought that the blocd of Christ gave efficacy only to the Sacraments of Baptism and Penance. As to the question, What have we in the chalice at Mass? I reply, certainly not the natural blood of Christ in its unaltered conditions. No man in his senses would say that we have. The Lord's body and blood are present in substance but spiritualised, beneath the accidents of bread and wine. This is the Catholic doctrine.

7. "How can the substance of what is no longer in existence be present under the form of wine?"

Answer. No one affirms that it can. Christ's natural body exists, as ours will after death, under totally new conditions.

8. "May it not be that the substance of the body remains while

ATTEND, I pray, all ye who hate

Those who give faithful friends the go by,
Whilst I deplore the mournful fate
Impending over Punch's Toby.

The Times demands the sacrifice,
And so, consulting the expedient,
Punch, as is usual, in a trice,

Subscribes himself "Your most obedient."

In vain poor Toby oft had shown
The stretch of his canine sagacity,

By yelping to the Times's tune
To the extent of his capacity.

Now ruthless R— — may test,
By his experiments so jolly,
Which bears extreme of torment best
Poor Toby, or a shepherd's colley.(1)
Ninety-cat B-— might be tried (2)
If he would rather choose to carve him ;(3)
Or tender S- might decide
Whether 'twere best to bake, or starve him.(4)

Says K-to Punch, if you vivite,
I've no objection, not the least,
But, as he possibly may bite,

'Twere best to stupefy the beast.(5)

The pitying Public too might pass
O'er Toby's fate as less pathetic,

If Punch would send some laughing gas
Which might act as an anesthetic.(6)

O Punch, for once forsake the Times,
And leave alone the cats and dogs,
One who so oft the toady plays,
Might have some pity, e'en for frogs.
But if you still decline to show

Compassion for poor Toby's sake,

I must entreat you-don't say "No."
I've just one small request to make—

Show us your Vivisecting friends,
In lively portraiture display them,
The public anxiously attends

All social compliments to pay them.
Mind, let the likenesses be good,
Their interesting features show;
I'm sorry you're confined to wood,

Steel cuts would be more apropos.

(1)It is wonderful what you may do to a sheep-dog without his making any comrotion."-Dr. R.'s evidence before the Commission. No. 2871.

(2) "When I said just now that I used 90 cats I should have said that it was in one series-but I am now at the third series."-Dr. L. B.'s evidence (5727).

(3) The monstrous males that carve the living hound."-Tennyson's Princess. (4) Dr. S. is asked whether he would deny that the suffering involved in raising the temperature of auimals till they died would be very severe. "That is a question I happen to have paid a great deal of attention to, and I am not of opinion that it would produce great suff ring."-(4745.) Asked whether he would say the same of Chosset's experiments of starving animals to death. "I am familiar with these experiments. I have gone over them again and again."—(4791.) (5) I chloroform a cat because I am afraid of being scratched."—(3842.) (6) Anesthetic-that which is calculated to do away with all feeling.

11. Mr. Earle says he accepts the statements in the Creeds of the Church regarding the Resurrection: is it unfair to ask whether he believes those statements because the Church teaches them, or because he has satified himself that they are capable of being used by men who accept his theory?"

Answer. Bo'h. I have no "theory." The spiritual body is a fact, and I have never put it forward as an hypothesis, nor do I, like "Spectator," shrink from subscribing my name.

As a practical help to Clergy who desire to celebrate and minister the Holy Mysteries with reverence and care, we know of no volume likely to serve their purpose better.

THE

Layman of the Church of England, Author of "The People's Mass Book." London: JOHN H. BATTY, 376, Strand, W.C.

Being the Order of the Administration of the Holy Eucharist according to the Use of the Church of England, with the Complete Devotions, Literally Translated, of the Ancient Liturgy of the Western Church; the Offices of Preparation and Thanksgiving before and after Mass, and some Rubrics from the First Book of King Edward the Sixth. By WILLIAM GRANT, Apostolic Lordship;" "The Catholic Doctrine of the Christian Sacrifice," &c.

Author of "The Communion of Saints;"

The PEOPLE'S MASS BOOK is intended to supply the want, largely felt by the English Catholic laity, of a devotional Office, at once in perfect harmony with the Liturgy of our Prayer Book and with the Ancient Missal of the West. It contains in a popular form, adapted to the simplest comprehension, as well as to the requirements of the most advanced Churchman, those formularies of Eucharistic Worship, undoubtedly Apostolic in their main features, which have been used by the great Saints, Martyrs, Confessors and Doctors of. Western Christendom during, at least, the past fifteen centuries; and which, to the present day, are employed in the celebration of the Christian Mysteries throughout by far the larger part

THE

of the Church of God. These devotions are combined with the English Liturgy in such a way as to present both the one and the other complete and yet without confusion. The Manual is equally adapted for use at plain and at Choral Celebrations; and contains Forms of Prayer for those who communicate, as well as for those who merely assist at Mass.

The Rubrical directions, introduced from the First Book of King Edward VI, may serve to show the real mind of the English Church respecting those ritual observances which Puritanism contrived, in former days (as the Preface to our present Prayer Book, with evident reprehension, points out), to decry and bring into contempt.
