THE OLD MAN IS GONE AWAY.
BY MARION SRAY.
Neath leaden skies,
"With downcast eyes,
The mourners wend their way;
Thore'r a cofliu and bier,
There's a grave and a tear
For the "old man" gone away.
Since the wife was gone
He ha been fo lone,
Mourning his loss each day;
Neath the falling snow
Where she lleth low,
Sleeping, they lay him away.
Bv the river wide
"Vbose murmuring tide
Low music wakes all day;
How sweet, their sleep
TThile ve vainly weep
For the "old man" gone away.

Claim) ortheFpUcopalChurcli
A fexr Stricture.
Several weeks ago a sort of a
home missionary meeting of the
Trot. Episcopal Ohurch was held iti
this city. The statements there
made, the claims and arguments
advanced, revived in ray mind some
mental conflicts of long ago, and I
deem it well to pass under review
some of these claims. Similar con
flicts will ever he going on in se
rious minds, and it is the duty of
those who have "been there" to clear
up the matter as much as possible.
At the said meeting two gentle
men appeared in the rece6S of the
building, clad in peculiar garments.
Xow, if I speak of priestly robes
and vestments in a tono bordering
on satire, let it be rcmembored, that
in my own denomination this prac
tice prevails in some parts, and that,
thereforo, I cannot be understood as
censuring the Episcopal Church par
ticularly. But, in all candor, can you blame
very severely that individual in
Texas, who, when for the first time
beholding the Episcopal missionary
in his robe at the altar, veutured the
opinion, that "that must be the great
grand father of all undergarments ?"
(Freely translated out of the ver
nacular). St. Fnul makes the re
mark in one of his letters that "when
he became a man, he put away child
ish things." To pass a very mild
judgment on ofllcial robes of any
kind (priestly, judicial), it must be
said that they certainly belong to
the period of childish immaturity,
and that it should be beneath the
dignity of mature manhood to In
dulge iu such practices. (The same
remark applies to the childish para
phernalia of the secret societies;
full grown men ought to be ashamed
of them). I defy any person in
mature manhood to contemplate
these vestments, robes, draperies
and official uniforms, without ex
periencing a feeling of iuward re
volt against them. The tendency of
priestly robes in the church is, to
leave the impression, that religion
consists in forms and draperies,
rather than in the state of the hoart.
After a brief liturgical service, a
gentleman arose and spoke. "Let
us suppose a persou," ho said, "a
devout person, to beslncerely seek
ing the right way to worship God.
He passes from one Bo-called church
to another, but finds nowhere that
for which his soul longs a place
where- he can really worship God
until he enters the Episcopal church.
There he finds that he can say
amen."
Xow evidently the fundamental
error, under which this very amia
ble gcntlemau labors, is, that wor
shiping God consists in passing
through certain forms, genuflec
tions, uprisings, downsittinge, in
connection with certain forms of
"words. J say, if a man cannot wor
ship God when he is plowing the
field, or driving a nail, or passing
goods over the counter, or making
a bargain, or pleading a case, etc.,
by the manner and the purpose and
the spirit in which he does these
things, then worship is impossible.
I for my part dislike the phrase
"divine worship" or "divine ser
vice" as applied to a religious meet
ing. If the life and teachings of
Jesus Christ mean anything, they
certainly mean this, that true relig
ion Ib a Principle of Life, and not a
form passed through at stated times
and places. Ccrtaiuly, if the speak
er's conception of worship and re
ligion were correct, then it would
be possible for the most wicked
person to worship, for evidently we
can conceive such a one as sayiug
amen as loudly ns auy one.
The speaker then went on to state,
that one "so-called" church required
a certain mode of baptism as essen
tial ; another, a certain form of con
version ; still another, adherence to
a certain doctrine of Decrees: but
the Episcopal was the only church
which rested on tho broad founda
tion of the Apostles' Creed, and
requlret belief only in that aa es
sential. This statement needs modifica
tion. The Germau Reformed
Church occupies the same broad
and Catholic position, as compared
with the particularizations found in
other commuuions. The gentleman
should post himself better on eccle
siastical matters.
After him aroBe another gentle
man, who, I venture to say, would
have spoken with much greater
ease, if he had heen less loaded with
Jace curtains, and bis sleeves had
been of more modest magnitude.
But no matter. He began by eay
iBg, that this was not a quostion of
vital piety, people could be pious in
other religious bodies" (it would
not do for him to get caught in
caving "other cAurcW) "but It was
a question of ecclesiastical legitima
cy, legitimate descent from the
church founded by Christ." He
then labored to prove that tho
Church of England was directly and
legitimately connected with the
early church, and when the rupture
with Home came, "The Euglish
Church went in a body, priests,
bishops, cathedrals, seminaries, (and
he might have added King "Harry")
and all. This was the case, he
claimed, with no other church.
This again needs modification.
The charge of ecclesiastical illegiti
macy, or scismatic sectarianism, may
perhaps be Justly made against the
Methodist bodies (although the "Wes
leys were regularly ordained priests
of the established church) and
against tho Congregationalists ; this
is uot the case, however, with the
Protostant churches of tho European
Continent the Reformed and Lu
theran. "When Zwingle and Calvin
and Luther preached the pure gos
pel, it was the heads of the Euro
pean monarchies who adopted for
themselves and their subjects the
Protestant faith, taking with them
the ecclesiastical organization, and
thus it happens, that the Reformed
and Lutheran communions have pre
cisely tho same claim to "legitima
cy1' as the Church of England. Tho
charge of sectarianism can not be
made against them. And if I were
an Episcopalian, I think I should be
a little timid about boasting of the
genesis and formation of the Na
tional English Church; this could
not be dono without meutioning
very prominently his majesty King
Henry VIII, n porsonage whose
motives were not just altogether
lovely.
Then the speaker roontloned as an
evidence of the progress of Episco
pal ideas in America the fact, that
the great church festivals Christ
mas, Easter, Pentecost, are now
universally known and obsorved,
whilst this was not the case former
ly. Here again is the same pro
sumption. Tho German Reformed
and Lutheran churches always ob
served these festivals, and may just
ly claim a large share in the Influ
ence producing said change.
There are many admirable things
In the Episcopal Church. The
"Book of Common Prayer" evinces
flue literary taste and correct spirit
ual sentiment in tho selection of
ancient liturglou forms; forms,
which I love to upo even in family
prayers, and which 1 fain would see
introduced more largely. Moreover"
years ago, as a member of the Epis
copal Church, I came into personal
contact with some of tho best Christ
ian people I ever met or expect to
know on earth (Rev. S. R. "Weldon,
Rev. Charles Cheney of Chicago,
now Bishop of the Reformed Epis
copal Church, Mr. Jay Cooke, the
lamented General Fisher of Wash
ington, and a host of others, whom
I personally know): But all these
views I can entertain, without fall
ing into the errors above alluded to,
iu regard to apostolio succession or
priestly authority. These ancient
liturgical forms are not the exclu
sive property of any branch of
Christ's Church, and I can use them
without attaching to them any
priestly notions or opus operatum
theories, or arrogating to myself
auy particular ecclesiastical legiti
macy, as compared with those who
have different, or even perhaps less
correct, tastes in these matters. And
the fact is, that tho truly ovangelical
portion of tho Episcopal Church in
America and in Eugland are taking
more and more precisely this view
of the matter. Queen Victoria does
not hesitate to partake of the Lord's
supper with the Preshyterians when
in Scotland, and scruples not about
legitimacy. Dean Stanley together
with many others of the Broad
church party in England admires
more highly the Christianity of a
Baxter, or a Buuyan, or a Spurgeon,
thau that of the ritualistic Puseyites.
This is the view of the mnttcr rep
resented by such men as Bishop
Mcllvaine, and which has how
found definite expression in tho for
mation of the Reformed Episcopal
church. These trulv Evanarelical
Episcopalians fraternize readily
with Christians of other names in
the general work of christianizing
the world ; whilst such ritualists and
exclusionists rb Bishop Whitehouse
and his followers stand loftily aloof,
spending their energies mainly in
everlastingly prating about Episco
pal succession. This is the class of
men in the Episcopal Church, who
have laid their denomination open
to the not entirely unjust taunt, that
"that church meddles with neither
politics nor religion." c. a. a. h.
Every one cannot be beautiful,
but every one can be sweet temper
ed ; and a sweet temper gives a love
llness to the face more attractive, in
tho long run, thau oven beauty.
Have a emilo and kind word for all,
and you will be soou more admired
nay, loved than any mere beauty.
A sweet temper ie to ihe household
what sunshine ie to trees and flow
ers. A California matrimonial adver
tisement winds upaB follows : "For
tune no object, but should require
the gal's relations to deposit one
thousand five hundred dollars with
me as security for her good
behavior."
A Cleveland man fell dead in
church juBt three minutes before
the deacon was to take up a collec
tion. There are lots of ways to save
money.
