"THE CONFESSIONAL AND THE…
"THE CONFESSIONAL AND THE PRAYER- BOOK." London: W rarAN & SoNS, 81, Great Qneen-st. Price One Penny. This is the title of a pamphlet issued by the Prayer-book Revision Society, of which Lord Ebary is president, and the offices of which are at No. 17, Backingham-street, Strand, London, which we should strongly ireoemmend to the carefal perusal of all who are interested in the great question, which, more than any other, is agitating the English Chorob, we may say, almost to its very foundations, at this present time. The pamphlet clearly and dispassionately points out that it is principally three particular passages, of only a few words each, in the Book of Common Prayer, which famish pretexts for the introduction, into our National Church, of the most obnoxioos praotice of confession by the extreme Ritualists, who are seeking to on- dermine the bulwarks of the Reformation and to pot aside the glorious Protestant doctrines then left to 08 at so mash cost. The remedy for this deplorable state of ohoroh affairs is Dvident-the Revision of the Prayer-book and the expurgation from it of these particular passages. We append a few extraots The Confessional is in our midst. The truth may not be gainsaid, however humiliating the Emission, that clergymen of the Church of England have lent themselves to the designs of Jesuits and foes to the Protestant faith. A book, called" The Priest in Absolution," has been for some time circulated among a number of clergymen calling themselves members of the Society of the Holy Cross; it is a manual unfit altogether for pure minds and holy men-muoh more for women and young children. The attention of Parliament has been called to this book by a distinguished lay Peer, and has caused a general outcry of shame and indignation. The Right Reverend Bench has expressed its re probation of these practices. They"lay the Church requires no confession to a priest; but then they proceed to make virtual admis- sion of the principle, for (they say) two special cases are provided for by the Prayer-book. Having made this admission, they are naturally un- able to restrain effectually the extension of the Con- fessional. A short time ago confession to a priest was openly advocated at Ringwood, in the diocese of Winchester, by a missioner, who dared to say to his hearers, Whenever a poor penitent comes to me and confes- ses his sin, I believe that, when I absolve him, he as ira r-^ wbiie as snow, as if our Blessed MTP JCgafaateg fcfraatK." The- Wshop of Winchester was appealed to, but replied that he could not interfere. There was no law, that he knew of, which would empower him to act in such a case. 6f The Prayfer-book," he said, directs in two eases, andleaves all others- alone." The case was then submitted to the Archbishop of Canterbury, who proved to be equally helpless; and nothing more could be done. The Bishops refer to the Prayer- book, and say that they are powerless. What is wanted is an authoritative alteration of the three passages in the Prayer-book, to which allusion has been made. What is absolutely necessary is that the general meaning of the Prayer-book should be placed beyond all doubt. What is essential to the very purity and protection of English families is, that no priest ia absolution" or confessor" of the « Holy Cross" should be able any longer to point to any one word in the Prayer-book as a pretext for the practice of confession. If through the apathy of Protestant Churchmen now the creeping plague should go on spreading it- self abroad, the ruin of the Church will ensue. The Confessional must be shut out of the Church of Eng- land once for alL Adequate measures should te adopted. The noble example of what has been done by the Sister Church of Ireland in the re-arrangement of its formularies should animate us all to undertake and carry through a similar work for England. In spite of great difficulties and discouragements, the Protestants of Ireland, with patient aud persever- ing exertions have accomplished a revision of their Liturgy, which has made the disastrous state of things now prevailing here henceforth impossible for them. Nothing short of this can really inflict defeat upon men who (as the Primate has so truly said) are en- gaged in a conspiracy to destroy the Protestant Religion. The course for the Bishops to adopt Is obvious. Let them take power for the alteration of these words, and of all other passages which may be twisted or perverted into an authorization for the system of Con- fession and Absolution. Let there be absolutely no pretext for maintaining that, even in two special cases, the Church of England countenances any such doc- trine. Let the Prayer-book be made to forbid it under all circumstances whatsoever. Is it unreasonable to demand a careful and autho- ritative Revision of the Book of Common Prayer ? Let it be remembered, the Prayer-book has undergone no revision whatever for two hundred and fifteen years. The English language has undergone change during that long interval; the habits of men have changed still more. We know that coats of mail were excellent in their time, but they have given way to the developments of modern. warfare. Just so a Prayer-book whieh was impervious to attack one or two centuries since, may need, and does need, adap- tation to the requirements of our own times. The old system of fcriification is no longer reliable. The Ritualist is an adept at minhig operations, and he has been undermining the good old English Church for some forty vears past. Some old Rubrics, and some passages in the text of the Prayer-book, seem made to his hand. He must then be effectually counter- mined and defeated by new Rubrics and by an altered phraseology where necessary, so distinct that no way- faring man can err in interpreting the law and prin- ciplea of the Church of England.

FEAST OF THE LOYAL HANBURY…
FEAST OF THE LOYAL HANBURY LODGE, I.O.O.F. The annual festival of the above lodge was i.hold at the Three Cranes Hotel, on Monday, when an excellent spread, provided by the worthy host, Mr Glazebrook, was done ample justioe to by the friends present. The room was most neatly decorated for the ocoasion by the Misses Glazebrook, and some very appropriate mottoes, such as Honour the reward of merit," Lovo the brotherhood," Welcome visitors," &c., &c.. were displayed. When the cloth was removed, Bro. Henry Lewis was voted to the chair, and Bro. Fredk. Jones to the vice-chair. The first toast given was "The Queen, God bless her," which was drunk with the utmost enthusiasm. National Anthem (harp and violin)-Moms W. Bullock & Son. The next toast was The Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family," which was equally well received. God Bless the Prince of JToZet-Messrs B a Hook. Song—Bro. Langham. The next toast wae "The Army, Navy, and Volunteer Foroes," coupled with the name of a volunteer who was present. Song—Bro. Probyn. The volunteer responded. Song—Bro. Bevan. The next toast was The Pontypool District of Oddfellows," coupled with the name of Bgo. J. Ellis. Song-Bro. Langham. BPO. Ellie responded. He should have felt sorry to Jet an opportunity slip without SSyiDg something relative to the Pontypoot District. He was happy to tell them that the District Society was in a flourishing state, and he felt most happy to congratulate them on that fact. Six hundred pounds had been paid fn funeral expenses daring the past year, and he was most happy to tell them that every levy had been paid op. He was happy to tell them that after all claims had been paid, there was a balance in hand of JE40 to meet any contingenoy. Thia was, of course, independent of the sum of J6300 which was always looked opon as a reserve. Times at present were unusually bad, but still the society was flourishing, and its numbers wero increasing from time to time. The nom- ber of members now was 2,000, and they were making still further progress. This, be thought, was a pleasing fact for every member to carry home with him and reflect upon. Bat there was still more to be proud of the district was worth about £ 16,500. In conclusion, he urged upon the younger members of the brotherhood the necessity of inculcating the principle upon which Oddfellowship was founded, Do unto others as you would wish them do unto you." He thanked them for the kind manner in which bis name bad been received among them. (Hear, hear.) Duet, Messrs Bullock and Son. The next toast was The Manchester Unity Independent Order of Oddfellows," coupled with the name of Bro. Williams. Bro. Williams responded, and remarked that he would tnuoh rather some one more conver- sant with the Order had been chosen for that duty but still he felt such an interest in the society that he could not help saying a few words. The Manchester Unity had upwards of 500,000 members attached to it, and they pos- sessed a result fund of £ 4,000,000. The Man- chester Unity was the leading friendly society in the kingdom. It bad to battle with Parlia- mentary legislation, and then other societies that came after it reaped the benefit of their enterprise. Speaking of the legislation for various districts, he would recommend the lodgesjof South Wales to be a little more liberal, and send a greater number of representatives to the A.M.C., and not allow the representatives from the factery districts to have it all their own way. Mr Williams spoke at some length on the good effected by the Order and the ad- vantages which would be derived from mem- berships, and concluded by exhorting all pre- jient who were 4oin at once. Daei—MosBre. V/- iI- 2^-C^.r.^u Song—Mr H. Baker. The vice-chairman's health was drank. In responding, Bro. F. Jones made a statement re- lative to the financial condition of the lodge.

The chairman responded. He greatly re- gretted to see so few of the members present on that occasion they had about 160 members in the lodge, and not one-fourth of that number were present that evening. He had been for many years a member of the Od df allows' Order, and he never regretted having joined it. Odd- fellowship would teach those who joined it valuable lessons. It would teach them to be better men and better husbands. Song-Bro. Duckham. Dust--Messrs Bullock and Son. The next toast w&J "The Loyal Haribary Lodge," coupled with the name of Bro. Duck- ham. Song—Bro. Glazebrook. Bro. Duckham, in responding, said he had been a member of the lodge for more than 30 years, and daring the whole of that time he had been in office. He had always done his best to bring members to ioin the lodge, and he hoped the younger members would take pattern by them and carry out the good work. Song—Bro. Edmonds. The "Coal, Iron, and Tin Trades," coupled with the name of Bro. Wm. Probyn, was then drank. Bro. Probyn responded. Duet-Messrs Bullock and Son. The "Worthy Host and the Misses Glaze- brook" was next proposed, and received with musical honours. Bro. Glazebrook responded. After The Press" had been proposed and responded to, the doors were thrown open, and the remainiug portion of the evening was spent in a pleasant manner, enlivened by the masterly way in which Messrs Bullock and Son played the harp and violio.
