THE WORKING CLASSES IN THE IRON DIS- TRICTS.—THE ARCHDEACON'S LETTER. ANY remarks on this well-timed letter (which will be found in another part of this impression) may well be headed The Working Classes." It is written par- ticularly and peculiarly for their benefit. It invites attention in a temperate, solemn, yet uncompromising strain, to the sad and serious condition in which our working-men are left. It comes out in the form of an Appeal, not to Wales and Welshmen peculiarly, but to the sympathies of the Church generally; and more particularly to the Church in England. We can never feel too thankful for this letter. We have repeated it over and over again, in every degree and form of reiteration, that the chief help to our suffering Church must come in the first instance from England. The circumstances of the Church at home are, either knowingly or indifferently, so misconceived, that it is almost hopeless to expect that the move will be general among those on whom the burden chiefly lies. Our late Diocesan spent his efforts in vain to rouse them. There was not a Charge or a Sermon in which he did not either directly, or indirectly, recur to the subject. There was a never-failing answer that met every appeal:—" It is folly to think of building more Churches among my people,—they are all or nearly all Dissenters. Why, therefore, talk of Churches? Who will you have to fill them ? I am myself a friend to religious toleration. I shall be encroaching on that, if I aid you or countenance you. I am a Churchman myself, as you know. But if Tom Evans or Will Hughes prefer Bethesda or iloa, or the public-house over the way, what earthly conse- quence can that be to me ? They are both excellent wprkmen—excepting, certainly, a little irregularity at i&e end and the beginning of every month, which is, "be you just now remarked, sometimes it is true of semaas consequences-but then, I do my duty by them; I pay them regularly for every ton they work. And if they do not work quite as much as I should wish, or as would be beneficial to their own families, that is their affair not mine. With their religion I We nothing in jthe world to do, Whether toey sr? )f any creed, or no creed at all, as a master this is nO lusiness of mine. Therefore, pray give up that idea )f yours. The people don't want a Church. Ask hem. I will have every man, woman, and hoy in t\16 rard before you. And if they say, they are anxiou* "or a New Church, I will give you m.1I word, which ,-ou know is as good as my bond, will build you Sew Church." i he last sentence is said with peculiar emphasis ,vitli tint degree of confidence which ever attends the certainty onBn impossibility ever remaining so. When the present Archbishop of Canterbury toot ;harge of the Diocese of Chester, he found a state of ihin^s not much dissimilar to that of our own, only rmltiplied tenfold. He made an appeal to the public, is the Archdeacon of Llandaff has done. He waS net from nearly every quarter of his Diocese—more specially from the great manufacturers—with the cry )f its being too late. The people, it was urged, eft the Church; they have built Chapels of their, jwn; and they worship in their own form. Wh"t was the issue ?—That excellent Prelate never swerve" From his purpose. He appealed to the Christian public everywhere: and when he was raised to the See of Canterbury, after presiding over the J Mocesfr for twenty vears, he not only had consecrated thrt* hundred New Churches, hut he actually consecrated, for the service of the Church of England, Chapels ivherein had been heard before little else than ohloq111 an all and everything within her pale. One fact i' ivorth ten thousand arguments, and here it is. Those who Were most hostile to Church extension, came forward eventually, and in repeated instances built and endowed entire Churches themselves. The liishop of Ripon. during the fourteen years of his Episcopate, has consecrated no less than ninrtf seven Churches in Yorkshire alone. Fourteen "of of these have been built by so many several persons* and in one instance f 20,000 have been given by ooe individual for the erection and the endowment of a Church and Parsonage. Likewise, the Bishop of London, in the move be made a few years a^o, when he succeeded in estah* lishing "the Metropolitan Churches Fund," has beed the means of providing the destitute parts of the Metropolis with sixty-one New Churches. It is a singular fact, and a most grateful sign of good time8 coming, that the inhabitants of Bethn-il Green latfty held a solemn service of thanksgiving on the comple" tion of the noble scheme for providing TEN NE\f Churches, with their several Schools and Parsonage8' + for that large and important parish. 1 When we consider all these thine?, we cannot say with the good Archdeacon, that we too aim at a Terr Churches Fund—though the aim indeed, fur below our present wants; and we cann<48 but believe that ere many years are past, we may/lik* the grateful inhabitants of Bethnal Green, hold solemn service of thanksgiving on the completion so good and necessary work." j• With the Archdeacon we also hope, that by tM» appeal to the sympathies of England, a generoU*# shame will not long suffer those who have wealth means to leave to others, duties which ought large'f" to rest upon themselves; nor a sense of decent permit the liberality of strangers to Rupply the spjjfc ritual necessities of those who, after all, are but thr*w own extended families and households." 1 Important as this subject is, we shall recur to i&, again, and shosv more in detail the arguments and tl>% grounds upon which the Archdeacon proceeds, grounds which, we feel confident, will never MS brought forward in vain before the generous symp*J thiee of the Church in England. Were this Appe*T to have no other success than the merely maki°f[ known to our brethren in England the sadly state of the Church in Wales, we should even thetl consider its purpose answered. But we have tbØ faith in us that it will be attended with the happi^ijf results. f THE CHURCH. NEVER have we undertaken the duties of our Journalii with greater pain than in our present comments up0? the state and future prospects of the Church; aO in doing this it is not, let us be understood, in avfx view to polemical discussion that we treat the subject| but as one deeply affecting our social welfare,—ioU' ration in religious belief, and our civil and pohtictl, rights. f It is now about twelve years since the writings (If, the Oxford Tractarians began to rouse in the mlndl of Christians a jealous watchfulness as to devii'too* which had gradually crept in, and received sanctio^ in the tacit consent of generations, from the origin8*? Rubrick of our Liturgy. Whether these deviation*; were strictly justifiable; whether, on the other hanw it was wise at that time—when the Church was be- leaguered from without with enemies not wanting either in venom or activity—to raise hostility with* her pale, and to make a house divided," are qUe8'| tions on which we are silent. Certain it is that maofi passages in the Oxford Tracts, which were care published by opponents, spoke of Protestantism | in terms so contumelious as to rouse great indignation 1 Not less certain is it that many Clergymen and others", who were admirers of the Tractarian writings, haVtf since apostatised to the Church of Rome; and that i spirit has arisen of rigid conformity to rites 9°** } usages, not' perhaps Popish, but so long fallen desuetude that—coupled with the expanding apostacf —they excite in Christian minds alarm, at what least appears to be innovation, and innovation tendi°? J towards Rome. I On the other hand, in reply to this it is said by 1 advocates of the Oxford Tracts, that the passag^ 1 from them quoted invidiously are garbled extract6' § that never has there been found so powerful an exP^ | sure of the errors of Rome as the Tracts—take» f toAofe—^supply; and that not only must this imp^ i sion remain upon those whoread them entirety> f that Dr. PUSEY, when consulted by individuals, T invariably counselled them not to secede from th # Church. In this conflict of evidence and argumen f the mind is bewildered it were difficult, as well as discourteous, to discredit the solemn assertion of etc". exercising venerable functions, and in private life of exemplary conduct: but we conceive that, if the ten* dency of the Tracts is as affirmed, immense beneti would be conferred on the Christian world by tb^ publication, in a cheap form, of a concise abstract 0 the argument which they enforce, with [verbatim] the 1 passages which most plainly repudiate Popish error. And this we think the Tractarians are called upon to issue, not only as zealous teachers of doctrine whlCb. they believe to be saving, but to justify their against inferences, which extracts invidiously quote too strongly tend to establish. | In the controversy, of twelve years' duration, to which these Tracts have given rise, it has happened' | as it does in all controversies, that (probably as tbj j mind becomes more confused) warmth has increase >. where the thing wanted was increased acumen to de- ) fend, rather than to reconsider, the resisted argume11 has been the business; and—in the besetting infif* I mity of our nature—the elucidation of Truth b«s ± generally been postponed to the triumph of Part)'' | This, in no question of public interest, ought to be • in what affects our Religous convictions, how mUs they tremble who have given way to it! If, on sO sacred a subject, we may be allowed a metaphor, \f6 should say Truth is a circle, within which men stand near opposite boundaries; each seeks, with most kind intention, to attract the other to his side of the inclf sure; he tries, but tries in vain; disappointmeD* 1 breeds impatience; impatience, anger; each, in anger» | goes further from the other, till each has got without | the circle. Just so is it with the polemical heats no* raging and we firmly believe that if, even upon thiS question of Baptismal Regeneration, the acknow- ledged chiefs in the controversy were required (each l party in committee) to frame in writing their definition of the word Regeneration," the difference between the two definitions given would be found to be merely t I verbal; and that the Regeneration, for which the one party contends, would be by the other recognised. The misfortune is, that in the tenacity with which f men properly adhere to truth, they cannot be brought to believe that what they accept as truth on so die minor points may be error; and that the centre of the circle, instead of that spot on the boundary at which they stand aloof, is the point at which we j should meet. It is from this tenacity that, instead of J. drawing nearer till they meet in the centre, each obstt- f nately refuses to revise his own opinion; impatience and quarrels within the circle begin; and men leave, to their eternal peril, that pale within which, to their » immoveable conviction, Salvation is found. Hence the secessions, on the one side to Rome, on the other to Dissent. i That these things should be, is lamentable, no* |- only to the individuals but to the public. Of the f individuals who thus, in the irritation of personal r momentary pique, make shipwreck of their hopes in eternity, it is not our purpose to speak. Reason, not less than charity, would lead us to hope that they act under that tnental delusion for the time feeing which is a form.o £ insanity. Upon no. other principle can > we account for such a thing as men, who Have a 510- If cere love of Religion, and who understand the doctrine ;j of the Church, being content to take up with any other | mode of worship. But it is to the public that these apostasies have an ominous and alarming aspect. It | is not only the abstraction from the Church of so I many of her members, that we have to consider; but f that example, however in this case unworthy, has with t the light-minded a certain influence, and that what is here lost to the Church is arrayed in other and hos- I tile ranks. It is to this point of view that we would especially draw the attention of all those who appre- ciate not only the religious influences of our Church, but those civil institutions and manifold social advao* L tages which grow out of the tone of mind inculcated « by the Church. Of Popery in the ascendant, and of I its tender mercies then to the consciences and civil; liberties of men, we have abundant evidence in other countries; of Popery progressing, have we not in Ireland examples quite sufficient of persecution, in districts where the large majority are Roman Catho- lies 1. In these specimens of the genius of the an- cient faith" we have warnings which, if we are wise, will not be lost. In the ripeness of time, if these apostasies go on, we may expect the struggle (in; which—if it have sufficient numbers—Popery will be dominant. Of what may be expected then, we have not only past history, but—"semper eadem"—those in power who persecute on principle. It is becausa gradually, and as yet imperceptibly, things are pro- gressing to the issue, that we raise a warning voice r time. Our dissenting brethren, who have no more than ourselves a taste for this state of things, will aJJ well to forget their 0 differences upon minor points with that Church from which alone they ever received the Bible, and to remember under what Hierarchy their forefathers groaned on the rack or perished at the stake. And to the Church, if it have not become stone-blind to the "signs of the times," and forgetfu that it is now the sole guardian of Christian Truth* these things are warnings to lay aside those interna and unseemly differences by which she is a "houtie divided;" to move from the confines to the centre that circle in which religious truth is found; to UNITE as brethren in one common cause; and, wblle it is yet day, to work, that the enemy creep not ioW the citadel like ft thief in the night,
